Khalid or Andre

I think big show and Jordan (omos) have a smaller head than khali and andre but jorge gonzales seems to have a very big head, he’s however the tallest of the group. If you compare khali and big show i think khali have a bigger head

Hey Rob. How tall do you think Bully Ray(Bubba Ray Dudley) is.

Corvus,

Gonzalez boots were WAYYYYYY Thicker than the Undertakers. WAAAY Thicker my man.
Corvus said on 27/Mar/23
Within a few pictures comparing Gonzalez and 'Taker, the diference between both seems to be about a foot (12 inches), and by that time Taker was probably 6'7, with boots, even 6'8 so i'm gonna guess he's about almost 7'8
Jordan87 said on 2/Mar/23
He was 7'6", As he was Listed.

People can't tell his Boots were Massive when he Faced the Undertaker?

Stop Using the Undertaker who's Boots back then ( early 90's) were pretty flat , especially in comparison to The Giants.

He was 7'6", as Listed. Doens't look over that even with his Shoe Advantage Over taker.

Taller than Muresan, Bol and Paul Sturgess.

7 inches taller than Andre who looks like a 6'9" guy

Why 7'7 rather then the 7'6" he was listed at also ?

7'6 is the worst for him

Any good pics of Nash with Gonzalez? I know they were around at the same time and Nash knew him and I think worked house shows with him. Only thing i've seen is them in that Swamp Thing show.

@Chao's Other Throwaway Guinness said he was 7 ft 9 in (2.36m), I was dumb back then.

Toby Barrett said on 28/Mar/22
why people are saying Edouard Beaupre was under 8 ft is beyond me because his death certificate has his height at 8 ft 3.5 and still growing and i know he looks under it in photos but he was verified by the people who put his height on the death certificate

This is when you’re that big it’s really easy to unknowingly drop height in photos and nobody notices because you’re so tall anyway
Daniel Morris said on 20/May/22
He was 7'7".....at that height does a qtr or half an inch really matter?
Toby Barrett said on 10/May/22
I thought Guinness measured him at 7'7 1/4"?
Editor Rob
Somebody said the Guinness Office (or branch) in Argentina once gave him 7ft 7.25

I don't know if anybody ever saw this online though.

Ustedes los gringos no saben nada, El Gigante gonzalez nunca se operó de la acromegalia por lo que nunca dejó de crecer, cuando jugaba baloncesto en argentina media 2.25, en WCW media 2.31, en WWE media 2.32, y cuando murió lo midieron por ultima vez y media 2.44, no tenia una altura exacta, más bien tenia una altura diferente en diferentes èpocas.

You got any proof of that statement?

The next tallest ever was 8ft 1 inch
Just check the Guinness book of world records.
RJT said on 14/Sep/21
Is he really 7'7? Has he been photographed with guys his size (7'5-7'6) and he edged them out or just approximation on how he looks over other wrestlers whose height are known?

if it's the later, then not sure about full 7'7.

Certainly looked 8'0 to us as kids lol. 7'6 is possible but i heard back then he was 7'4-7'5 but that's little too low.

What are the chances he was only 7-6

On the topic of giant wrestlers, how tall was the Willow Bunch giant really? Everything says 8’3 but he compares to people similarly to guys like Yao Ming and Manute Bol

Giant Gonzales is reported here as 7ft6

I see the Guinness world record book report him as 7ft7 or 2.29 m. I don’t know the type of metric they use, but he is always reported as 2.29 m

Imagine great khali in his peak face to face with giant Gonzales... he would be even under giant Gonzales eyelevel 😂
Dred__ said on 14/Mar/21
Editor Rob
I suppose it depends on what length of head you have Gonzalez a...just looking at that clip, it does look very big and he could seem near a head taller than Undertaker when standing tall.

Seems very big even in comparison to undertaker who doesn’t have a small head either. A 12 inch head for Gonzales seems clearly possible. I think undertaker has a low eyelevel judging by the video but Gonzales seems to have an extreme long eye-Chin range, i even doubt is much under than 7 inch. Though i’m not sure on 7ft7 but it’s hard to judge for guy who is much over 7
Dred__ said on 13/Mar/21
Rob
If you see this staredown between Gonzales and undertaker i have a doubt about Gonzales was 7ft7.
Click Here
I mean after sid admited that is 6ft6 barefoot, then undertaker is around 6ft7 in his peak, anytingh over that is impossible for him. But in that segment he seems over Gonzales chin, not by much of course but for sure over. The question is if Gonzales was 7ft6 who i can believe in that mark or Gonzales because of his gigantism he’s unable to standing tall in every staredown and probably he can stretch up more than this in Some moments

Why in your opinion who have a big head (11 inch +) generally have a much longer eye-chin than is eye-top ? Every man like Robert maillet, giant silva, great khali, ecc.. Some of this guy especially khali and giant Gonzales don’t seem to have a over 5 inch eyelevel, undertaker has a big forehead than both, but they head are way to long

Is arguable a 2 inches longer eye-chin respect to eye-top head ? The proportion of his head seems absurd, like a 5 inch eyelevel and 7 inch eye-chin or sometingh like that
Chaos Control 6'2.5 said on 2/Mar/21
How about you add Edouard Beaupre, the ultimate wrestling big man? I’m guessing that Beaupre was 8’3.5 in the morning and 8’1.5 in the evening

I think he needs a serious downgrade

I'm glad that see that Rob upgraded him to 7'7", but I still think he needs to be upgraded further to his peak mid afternoon barefoot height of 7'7 1/4".
Big ed said on 2/Feb/21
Wcw had him 7'7 then he went to wwe in 93 they billed him 8ft tall and as a kid really bought it and then in 2000 the Guinness book of records had him at 7'6 say he was 7'7 at his tallest
JayHay said on 20/Jan/21
I think he may have lost 1/4 of an inch by his death so I’d peg him at 7’7” flat at a low.
alontall636 said on 9/Jan/21
I remember that about a year or two ago I checked the height of Jorge Gonzalez and he was 2 meters and 44 cm tall which is 8 feet 1⁄16 inch so the closest to it is the 7ft9 and that is my choice even though it says 7ft7 he probably dropped in height over time though That he has not lived for a long time and if I am not mistaken he died when he was 2 meters and 44 centimeters tall
Martin Almost 5'11" said on 11/Dec/20
Alex Katch, them heights are almost accurate apart from Glen Jacobs is 2cms taller than Mark Calloway (check out the Undertaker vs Isaac Yankem when Glen wasn’t wearing platforms) and Hulk Hogan was 6’5” at peak. Same as Zeus but Zeus wore platforms to make him 6’6”. RIP Tiny Lister (6’5 Deebo, Zeus) 😔

I remember when I took my nephew to see El - Gigante in a steel cage match at then the famous,Hara Arena. Probably 1998. I put my nephew on my shoulders,which I believed would be taller than El -Gigante. But he was looking down at my nephew on my shoulders.

A portion of your guesses are just based off of the wrestlers inflated billed heights.

@Rob
If memory serves, didn't you use to list Gonzalez at 7'6" before?
Editor Rob
without checking past databases I couldn't remember this one.
Canson said on 1/Jun/20
@Hanov: The thing is Rob gave Sid 6’6.25 not quite 199 and only because some of the other wrestlers may be overlisted. So Sid can seem taller than he is by deduction. It’s possible Sid was only 198 being he claimed 6’6”. That said, I agree. 7’6.5 is possible

I think the 7'7" comes from his billing in WCW and he looked over a foot taller than 6'7/6'8 Undertaker during their stare down. I think Gonzalez was measured at 7'6 during 2000 he probably lost an inch by then.
SeanR said on 19/Aug/19

There is no question in my mind that this man was classified as being afflicted with Gigantisims .

Giant Gonzales and Andre were both were way overlisted by the WWE, they were nowhere near their listed heights. They were both big dudes though undoubtedly. He was nowhere near 8 feet tall, only 17 people in history were verified as 8 foot or taller. Gonzales was more like 7'6"-7'7" and Andre was like 7'0".

Your right Shaq is not a wrestler, if he's 7 foot then so is Khali. There's pics of the 2 side by side and they're pretty much identical in height. Gonzales peak would've been 7'7 imo. He had a good foot over Taker in their Wrestlemania match.

Okay let's break it down. I've seen him billed at 7,4 and 7,6 and 7,7 even my friend says he is 7,9. He is often billed as 8,0. Looking at him beside the Undertaker in 1993 he looks legit 7,6-7,7. But the Undertaker at the time was 6,8 solid, let's assume Undertaker was wearing 1 inch soles. That would make him 6,9. Plus Giant Gonzales hair makes him look about 7,8 I say Gonzales is about 7,7.5. Even his basketball contract says he was 7,7.5 or 7,8 and at the time he probably was not wearing those big soles in basket ball.

In conclusion I would bet my taco on that Giant Gonzales is probaly barely 7,7.5

About 15 inches taller than Hogan considering posture. Considering footware, 13-14 inches taller. A 6'5" Hogan would mean a 7'6"-7'7" Gonzalez.

Rob, he was listed as 7'6" in the Guinness Book in the early 2000s. He should be lowered to 7'6". I forget which year but I'm telling you for a fact that between 2000-2002, he was officially listed as 7'6" by Guinness Book of World Records.

That is not true,he was only listed as a side note saying he was not 8' as billed by the WWF .that would of made him 3'' taller than Radhouane Charibib.who was the GBR tallest man,at the time.and they quote he's NBA draft saying he was 7'6'' even that is wrong because in Argentina he was listed at 230cm.(7'6.5'') so that was a USA round down from the 230cm.and the 2000 GBR only gos up to July 1999.it was then said in about 2002 that he had started growing again and had been measured at 7'7.25''.now if you get any Guinness publication like sports book of Records you find him listed as the tallest wrestler at 7'7''.

He was listed 7'6 in the NBA so I don't think he was taller than that.

I would also guess in that range. Could be slightly under. But not sure due to lack of photos (especially with Giants closer to his height).

I had read reports he was a lot closer to 7'4 ?? Sad ending for this giant who ended up in a wheel chair before he died.

The tallest wrestler!

Aha yes! WWE and WCW regularly billed him at 8 feet. In one of my many editions of the GBOR they list him as 7'7.
Leah said on 16/Aug/17
8ft according to WWE
Dalziel said on 16/Aug/17
Was billed as 8ft in WWF.
Chaz said on 16/Aug/17
Good to see him on here,could have been the 7'7.25''in later life that has been quoted.by the Argentina office of the Guinness Book of world Records,but I don't think he was under 7'6.5''.

ive heard people say he is 8ft but, in wrestling they lie
Danimal said on 16/Aug/17
Not much to dispute here. The man was around this height. I heard 7'6" during his wrestling days (early 90's) and I remember hearing he continued to grow and was measured at close to 7'8" at some point?

7'7 in 2017 is not even tall anymore...
Mincer said on 15/Aug/17
I believe he was the tallest wrestler so far
Undertaker Frank said on 15/Aug/17
I was about 20 feet from him Hugh Man !!!!
loka said on 15/Aug/17
The tallest wrestler of all time. His fight with the Undertaker stays in the memories.

Hey Rob, you should add his WWF's billed height as they describe him as a whopping 8 feet tall lol.
Mayfield said on 15/Aug/17
Worth mentioning is he was also billed a 8'0 as well. Kinda like how Kane was billed at 7'0 while in reality, not even close to cracking that area
Aza said on 15/Aug/17
In WCW he was listed as 7'6 although he's so gigantic I would honestly be able to tell the difference so will guess at 7'6.5.
RP said on 15/Aug/17
Rob, why the 7'7" listing?...when he had a documted barefoot height measurement of 7'6.25" from the early 1990's? With the NBA & Atlanta Hawks, if I'm not mistaken?
Editor Rob
he could have still grew a bit with gigantism.
Sean said on 15/Aug/17
Nice add Rob. Wasn't he more 7'6" than 7'7"?
@HeightcrazyRed6ft said on 15/Aug/17
Great Rob! Probably a rare case who grew still slightly until he got really ill

This seems right

Heights are barefeet estimates, derived from quotations, official websites, agency resumes, in person encounters with actors at conventions and pictures/films.
