William Regal's Height
6ft 2 (188 cm)
Peak height was 6ft 3 (190.5 cm)
Darren Kenneth Matthews is an English retired professional wrestler. On twitter he claimed in 2016 to be "6' 3'". I saw him at LFCC in 2017 and would estimate he looked near 6ft 2 that day.

I was thinking in the early 2000s, he was definitely looking more closer to 6ft 2.5 than 6ft 3.
Undertaker looked about 5 inches taller there.

Of course, Stone Cold looks shorter by a solid inch.

I think 6ft2½, maybe 6ft2¾ at a push in his prime. He was described both 6ft2 and 6ft3 throughout his career. One of the few who looked his billed stats. Right between 6ft1 range dudes (Austin, McMahon, Lashley, Booker T) and guys 6ft4 (Orton, DDP, Swagger)

William Regal said on his podcast... (the particular episode was around July 2022) that he was 6'3 and 15 stone and to the average person, an imposing wrestler. I still think he was 6'2.25-6'2.5 peak. But its not a bad claim on his part.. he would definitely wake up to it, especially in his youth. He might be a flat 6'2 today with his age and over 30 years of wrestling.

Never a 6'3'' peak. No way. He looked 6'2'' during his pomp.

Hi Rob,
Could Regal have been a weak 6’3” at peak like 6’2 1/2” or 6’2 3/4”?
Just not feeling a 6’3” vibe with him

6’2” IMO is Regal’s height.He still looks pretty close to that height at age 54.

Conrad Thompson said on his podcast, that he had to look up to William Regal when they met recently. Conrad always claims he is 6'3, which would make Regal around 6'4ish which is impossible. So I still think Regal was peak 6'2.25 and now might be 6'2. Which would make Conrad at least 6'1 which is more believable.

Google is a rubbish source for height, having said that 190cm could be on the money for Regal.
He was usually given either 6ft2 or 6ft3 in WWE...one of the rare guys that was his billed stats

Samoa Joe looked 5.11 next to William regal who is 6.2 and karrion kross who is billed 6.4 isn't that height he is hardly a weak 6.2 might be 6.11/2.

He’s 190 on Google, a slight downgrade might be in order

Like Foley, he probably measured closer to 6ft3 than 6ft2 in his prime but fell a bit of it. 6ft2½ would probably be the lowest I’d give him peak. Compared to some of the other guys in WWE who’ve tried to claim 6ft3 and are clearly miles from it, he’s not pushing it by any means. I just think guys like Rock, Edge, DiBiase (prime) and current Hogan would have him out

Also thinks 6'3 it's a bit too high
Looked shorter than a prime Rock
6'2.5 might be on the money

I think 6ft2½ range peak. He could look 6ft3 at times but also just 6ft2 going back to WCW. He was constantly edged by guys like Rock, Edge, Dave Taylor and even Batista. I think you could argue the same for Mick Foley. I don't understand how Batista doesn't have 6ft3 peak yet he always looked taller than Regal.

Hi Rob,
6’3” seems a bit high for Regal unless you have evidence he was that at peak?
To me he seems more like 6’2 1/4” or 6’2 1/2” at his peak. In the same neighborhood as Mick Foley

Hi Rob, I still believe William Regal was 6'2.25 in his prime. I watched his matches against 6'2 range guys and he edges out 6'2 Sting, looks a bit shorter than 6.2.25 Bill Goldberg, and matches pretty good with Lex Luger who I used to think was 6'2.5 but might be also 6'2.25 himself. I am not seeing where he was ever 6'3 unless you have some pictures or video. He does hunch... but in even 1996, he never looked over 6'2.5. Please add Lex Luger as well, thanks.

But Rob, surely he’s lost some height aswell?
Maybe 6ft2 range today like Regal...granted that one of those photos of them from recent years is slanted and might give Regal the advantage

Rob
I really believe that you have overlisted his peak height.
He could have been a bit over 6'2" but definitely not full 6'3".
Back in 2001 The Rock had Regal by over an inch.
The Rock's peak is listed here as 6'3".
So Regal was definitely not 6'3" in his prime.

6'3 would be too tall for Regal. I agree he does slouch a bit, but he does look within the same range as 6'2 guys such as Triple H and The Rock. I would be very surprised if he measured 191 cm. 6'2.5 absolute max. Under 6'2 today.

Wow didnt realise he was on here. Great photo.
I think he's always looked around the 6'2 range through his TV years 1995-2015, he's had some quite bad neck problems over the last 5/6 years though so that might have lost him a little height.
He's one of those guys who is rarely ever in good posture, like with Rob above. But when they stand up properly you are surprised at how tall they are.

Editor RobIf you had another person in a photo with him I'm sure you could get a better photo. You can see With Christian that day he was taller.

Edge, Rock and DiBiase in their prime I think at a chance of measuring a little over 6ft3 while Regal and Foley might’ve fallen a little shy of it at worst.

Peak: 189-190cm
Today: 187-188cm
Not as convinced he was a full 6ft3. Was edged out by Rock and Edge.

Nice addition Rob, I actually just about to request him
But was he really a 6ft3 guy? I've heard him claim that mark consistently and it's possible he was but looking at old WCW matches I struggle to see it and an inch at 49 is dramatic. Certainly he's had his share of injuries but to that degree?

Here he is clearly shorter than a prime Rock.

Rob, he's 49 now. I think he lost height. In the 90's, early 2000 looked taller. I think peak 190cm

Editor RobAlthough he didn't stand well he is still in 6ft 2 range.
