How tall was his dad Grizzly Smith? I see 6'10", 6'8" listings for him and he was 7' as per Jake in the above quote.
Editor Rob
Could believe the 6ft 10 listing.
Toby Barrett said on 14/Apr/23

Rob he looked dead on the same height and Randy orton back in 2005.

Surely he must be under 6’4.25 today
Editor Rob
Maybe he is now.

I was watching a video of Jake Roberts interview.seriously,i had no idea that he hated his father.his Father was a terrible person and a pedophile.jake's mother was only 13 when he was born.he really went through a lot in his childhood.

I’d guess his dad weak to flat 6’8 but I’ll need to give him a better look


Certainly would believe 6ft8 range at least. I can’t find any photos of him and Jake standing but just the way he looked with other guys, it’s obvious he was a gigantic dude

Jake was a legit 6ft5 peak was half a inch taller than prime hogan who was 6ft4.5 peak flat without his lifs in his shoes or having cowboy boots on jakes around 6ft4 today

Jake said on his podcast recently, that he was 6'4.5 range today and when DDP and others thought he was 6ft 6 in his prime, he corrected them and said 6'5. Sometimes I think he was 6'5.5 in his prime cause he looked taller than Hogan while wearing flats, which would make Hulk 6ft 5.

Gary T., no he’s taller than 6ft6 definitely but no way 7ft
Gary T said on 5/Dec/21
His dad was 450? Um no. Prob around 6'6, 345
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Jun/21
I think he can still clear 6ft4 today..at least 6ft5 peak

His dad Grizzly was a very big man but not 7ft, maybe 6ft8-9?
berta said on 1/May/21
really looked 6´5 peak and today doesnt look under 194 if he stands tall.
Covvvid1984. said on 11/Apr/21
Looked sometimes taller than hogan while wearing his boots. Hogan and Jake both 6-5
iconjj said on 30/Jan/21
Hes the same height as my 6'4 brother in law. I met Jake in 2019. He's still easily 6'4 in sneakers.
Hanneman said on 7/Jan/21
Jake wore huge wedges on his boots about 2" so at 6'5 peek he would be 6'7 in boots.
falcon said on 22/Jul/20
Met him a couples years back at a comic con my buddy is 6'3" and Jake was slightly taller than him so I would put him at a legit 6'4"
Estim8r said on 3/Jul/20
Either he’s telling the truth about his height or X Pac is tiny
Kane99 said on 6/Jun/20
Guys
Archer looks at most 5 inches on Cody so I doubt he is a full 6ft6, let alone 6ft6 1/2.
Click Here
they is more likely to be slightly less than 5 inch if you see Cody eye level. I think he’s 6ft5 1/2 up to 6ft5 3/4 in this segment.
Rob what do you think ?
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 26/May/20
@Bensim1993
Ever since I've seen him looking only around 5"-5.5" than Cody Rhodes, my opinion on Archer's height changed a bit. I give him max 6'6" now. Click Here Cody could be 6'0.25" IMO.
Bensim1993 said on 24/May/20
I think lance archer is 6ft 6.25in or 6ft 6.5in
Michael186 said on 1/May/20
197cm peak, about the same as Hogan (peak), Hall (peak), Test, and JBL
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 12/Apr/20
I don't think he's under 6'4" to this day, as he looks barely 2" shorter than Lance Archer, whom I guess to be around 6'6"-6'7".
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Feb/20
No, I think he’s still at least 6ft4. Scott Hall on the other looks like he’s struggling with that mark nowadays
Njp said on 26/Nov/19
Used to have huge heels on his wrestling boots. I’d guess 6’4” peak.
Frank R said on 13/Nov/19
Jake Roberts looked all of 6'5" in the 1980s, but I'd say that he's just under 6'4" today. Scott Hall used to be 6'5", but now he looks about 2 inches shorter than Jake Roberts.

@ Sotiris Gravas - Alex Trebek isn't actually 5'8". He is more like 5'10.5" to 5'11" or something. I haven't seen enough of him to know exactly, but that's a closer range to keep in mind for him.

Roberts w/ 5'8" Alex Trebek from WrestleMania 7 (1991) at the 3:55 mark: Click Here Funny how Roberts isn't TOWERING over Trebek.

Roberts and a fan... Click Here

Same fan w/ Tarik Glenn (listed 6'5")... Click Here

Let's just say he didn't wear thin soles like Andre, lol... Click Here , Click Here Was he really 6'5"? Maybe not.
NCL said on 19/Jun/19
I met Jake the Snake last night. Very cool guy! Here is a pic. I am 5'10" in my barefeet and I was probably about 5'11" in my sneakers. The picture unfortunately doesn't really do him justice. I'm closer to the camera and he's leaning a bit. He gave me a 6'5" impression, but 6'4" is definitely possible (I have a 6'4" Uncle, that was my comparison): Click Here

Roberts (billed 6'6) w/ Outback Jack (billed 6'5")... Click Here (1987)

Agree with Rampage
Sotiris Gravas said on 17/Aug/18
Hey, I came across this pic of Roberts... Click Here
Wow. He's wearing boots w/ heels bigger than Big Show's. Probably to keep up w/ the GIGANTIC custom-made cowboy-boot heels Savage is sporting. Dear Lord! This was from November 23rd, 1991... when Roberts' snake bit into Savage.

This was basically the facial expression of everyone who saw this... Click Here

rob could 6ft4.75 peak be possible? he clearly didnt look over 6ft4.25 compared too randy orton
Editor Rob
Well it might be, I think probably that would be lowest I'd give him.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/May/18
I think because he got his health back, lost some weight and his posture improved he hasn't lost as much height as you'd expect.


He still looks at least 6ft4 today.
mikeyup said on 18/Apr/18
for such a tall guy which such a physically dangerous past job, he hasn't lost much!!
berta said on 13/Apr/18
good to see a honest wrestler

what do you think... 6’4 1/2 ??
Editor Rob
They are very close in that video...in fact you might have to measure them to see any difference!
Mayfield said on 14/Mar/18
Compared with Hogan, he looks like he could have pulled off 6'5 1/2 at times
Canson said on 8/Mar/18
195-195.5 peak
Somewhere 193-194 now
heightchecker34 said on 15/Feb/18
Classic 6'5 guy, always looked that height in his wrestling days including when he fought fellow 6'5er Barry Windham. If you watch Jake Robert's Snake Pit on You Tube, he as tall as Hillbilly Jim and Hulk Hogan on separate interviews, which is why I thought Hogan was 6'5 in his prime. Good to see he has made so much progress from his heavy drug use which nearly cost him his life. I think him and Scott Hall are both 6'4.5 now, wrestling and their risky lifestyle probably dropped them nearly in inch. Still they both look taller than 6'4 Diamond Dallas Page, unless Page has dropped half an inch.
Zahid said on 7/Feb/18
6'5" peak for sure: Click Here
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 4/Feb/18
I'm almost certain I've heard Jake also claim 6ft6 for himself.
Logan said on 4/Feb/18
Is say 6'5" looked almost as tall as taker who 6'7"
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Feb/18
Spot on. Still looks minimum 6ft4 today and edges out DDP
5'12 said on 3/Feb/18
Google has his dad listed at 6’8”
HeightcrazyRed6ft said on 3/Feb/18
Finally, still love his Team and Feud with Taker 91/92 Click Here

6´5" peak, still taller than Hall and DDP today so 6´4"-4.5" seems right
Mayfield said on 3/Feb/18
Thanks for giving him a page

There is still a proportion of wrestlers who haven't got one. It's getting there, a bit slowly.

I would say, the 'Wrestlers' tag on this site is the most visited one.
