Definitely no less than 450lbs today. At his leanest he got down to 385-390lbs after the WWE threatened to fire him because he'd ballooned to over 500lbs.

Now a days Show is around 380-400lbs and looks great. Strowman announced on instagram, after weeks of intense cardio, that he dropped 40lbs from 390. He's been about 350 or so pounds for most of last year and hoenstly he suits this look. Very menacing.

Rob, do you think that the weight loss for show was useful to recover some height? He made lots of cardio and stretching and he abandoned lifting heavy weights for months...

@ Jordan87
I think in Monday pictures Strowman's arms were slightly bigger than Show's.
Of course in Show's 500ish pound days he was bigger in every way, but it's arguable who has the bigger built right now.

I'm 6'8'' and was wearing 1 inch Doc Marten boots. Me and a friend were in the 2nd row at a Raw show in Milwaukee and when Big show came out I was taller than him.

If Strowman is actually 385 pounds, Then the SHow is still over 400. He has the same build as Strowman and is at least 3" taller. Show says he is 370, Making Strowman about 350 in my book.

Its hard to argue Show is looking any less than 6'11 with Strowman.
Remember from the eyes to the top of Big Show's head is around 5.5 inches.

Khali is taller than show so I didn't need to include him. Nash Morgan and Jones were not closer in height to show than Kane was. As for the other guys you mentioned. Never heard of them or seen them. I've seen Morgan without his lifts with Nash. Nash is taller by far.

As far as Monday night goes wight looked exceptionally tall, definitely more than 6'10. Whether that was due to camera angle, footwear or posture I am not sure

I knew all along Kane stacked up taller to big show than anyone else on the roster since the 90s.
---------------
Khali, Morgan, jones, nash (in 2002 and 2011) all stacked up better next to wight. Cottonwood, Jackson andrews, giant titan were certainly taller than Kane and Tron the northern Irish nightmare who was under contract for a while is easily taller than Kane in person.

I'd say Paul is a good example of a solid 6'9" guy which is made all the more imposing when you factor in his current weight of 370 lbs. He looked noticeably larger than Braun Strowman on Raw this week who stands at 6'6.5" and weighs 360 lbs. He also drawfs Brock Lesnar who is 6'1" and 290 lbs.

Strowman is 199 cm (6 6 0.25). In the last video with Show he's about 4 inches shorter than him (take a look at the end of the video...cameras can easily confuse your mind due to different camera angles ). Yet Show has definitely a footwear advantage which brings the difference down to 3 inches or so. Therefore I still believe Show is 6 9 1/2 (207 cm). Maybe as said 6 10 as peak height (208 cm) in the morning/early afternoon. I'm curious to see him again next to Shaq at WM. That will make it more clear....

Rob although he does look over 6'10 perhaps though strowman would look much taller compared to showif he was not so heavy and stood as well as big show.
I'd imagine strowman walks around at 6'6 with all his extra weight and not perfect posture unlike show.

I wouldn't say he's dwarfing Strowman, the difference looks the same as ever. Maybe a tad more due to Show being able to straighten his back out a bit more now but there's still only about 3 inches in it.

Thanks Miko for the footage, that's a very good 4 inches between them. Big Show's boots may give him 1~2cm advantage though.

Show has lost 70+ pounds and is now apparently down to 370lbs, and as you can see here it has hugely improved his posture.
He is dwarfing 6'7 Braun Strowman here... not something a 6'9 guy would do eh?
****************************************************************************************************
Strowman is back to normal soled footwear there and looks easy 4-4.5inches shorter, in bigger footwear it looked less than 3.5 in some matches.
Big Show has the footwearadvantage with his big soles in this staredown but I don´t see him under 6ft10.25in there.
Strowman did look under 6ft7in like 6ft6.5n during his early matches...

I don't know what he's been doing in the gym, but he hasn't look this good since 1997. Where his posture was pretty awful in the last decade, it's near perfect nowadays.
Click Here
Nothing wrong with his posture here. He's tilting his head a bit backwards, creating the illusion that the gap between him and Strowman is a bit bigger than it really is. He also has a slight camera advantage. Although the difference between them is probably close to 5 inches, when adjusting Big Show's head and putting it in a similar position as Strowman's head. Big Show has a footwear advantage, but probably no more than 0,5 inch.
Click Here
If Big Show is now 370lbs, how much would you say Strowman is. Big Show still is noticeably bigger than Strowman. I'd say he could be about 50lbs heavier than Strowman, especially since Big Show's bone structure is much larger than Strowman's.

Akebono always looked like Undertaker next to Big Show, so his evening height would be 201-202cm.
I saw him listed as high as 204cm in sumo, wich I think was a morning measurement.

They obviously exaggerated Baba's height and size in that figure. He was several inches shorter than 6'11" max Andre in the late 80s and was the same height as 6'8" Tyler Mane in 1990. Baba was in the 6'8" range in his prime and Big Show was a solid 6'11" guy and possibly 7' in his prime. Akebono is 6'7"-6'8" himself and would only be a little shorter than Baba.

JT I already modified my estimation for Big Cass @ 6 8 1/2 (204 cm).
The point is that footwear has big influence on the height of these guys. In my opinion Big Show normally wears boots who can lift him by 2 inches. As a matter of fact when he wears dress shoes or sneakers he is definitely shorter! Same for Shaq O' Neal. I am not changing my mind on Show height (207 cm) and I agree on Shaq height (213 cm as he is shorter than Jabbar by 4 cm today. Kareem is no more than 217 as we was 218 when he was young). Of course my estimations consider an average height of whole day (for Guinness World Record measurement the rule is to take three measurement during the day - morning, afternoon, evening - and then calculate the average height).
Relevant Undertaker he is shorter than Strowman who is a couple of inches shorter than Big Cass (199 cm). My guess for Taker is therefore197 cm. Kane is in between the two (198 cm). When he's next to Taker there is a very small difference (half inch).

I remember reading something years ago about how Big Show in 2006 purposely gained weight in the build up to the Lashley match because he wanted to be his biggest ever. I think he'd been steadily creeping over 510-520 but ate his way over 550 lbs at the end of 2006 and Lashley could barely lift him. He wanted to be huge like Andre I heard, by the look of him he was too

Please take a look at the Andre the Giant Battle Royal at Wrestlemania 32. Shaq is way taller than Show and Kane. If Shaq is 7 ft then Kane can't be more than 6 ft 6 (198 cm) and Show can't be taller than 6 ft 9 1/2 (207 cm)...I can say 6 ft 8.25 for Big Cass (204 cm) since he's variously listed at 6 ft 8 or 6 ft 9 and have double-checked his footwear...but can't change my mind for Kane and Show... Talking about tall wrestlers Braun Strawman is 6ft 6 1/2 (199 cm) to me, slightly taller than Taker (197 cm).

My estimation about some tall wrestlers (height in centimeters rounded off):
Big Show: 6 9 1/2 (207 cm)
Big Cass: 6 9 1/2 (207 cm)
---------------------------
Wight and Cass are not same height. They have tagged together and also been filmed/photographed out of gear and wight is noticeably taller

Current heights, some of them were taller in the past (Show, Kane, Undertaker) but due to age, weight and matches they lost height.

I put Nash one inch taller than Mane, keep in mind Mane had footwearadvantage over old Andre and Nash, Big Show has the biggest sole of them all and is standing as straight as it gets...
Andre and Paul were pretty even regarding their peak evening height, both between 6ft11 - 6ft11.5in

I found this footage of Big Show and Nash together at the end of WW3 in 1996:
Click Here
It is very interesting. Both were in ring gear, and there are times when Show only looked 1" taller. There are times when he looked 3" taller. We know Nash was no more than 6'9" because of how he stacked up next to 6'8 range Tyler Mane. One thing I can say is this should completely destroy the people who think peak Paul Wight was like 2-3" taller than a peak Andre. Andre in 1990 stacked up as good next to Tyler Mane than a peak Paul Wight did next to Nash. Once again, we know that Nash and Mane were virtually the same height.
Heightcrazyred, you should make some screencaps from this footage. Maybe compare it with Andre and Mane. Based on everything I've seen, I would go with 6'11.5" prime and 6'10.5" now. Just the same as Andre.

Didn't Kevin Nash and Reis (forget his first name) accuse him of wearing lifts during WCW? Idk about that but it's certainly interesting.
He was listed as "7'1 and 325 pounds" in his college basketball profile. I'd give him that in his prime. I'd like to believe that he's still a legit 7'0 nowadays but he probably is just a bit under.
I don't agree with people claiming he's 6'9 and under.

I think Big Show was pushing 550 back in 2005-06. Towards the end of Ecw run he was getting so huge he barely fit in his black singlet. I always thought he looked more of a giant when he was BIG, I liked the monstrously sized Show but was not good for health reasons to be that big obviously

Holly Hell at the vid of Nash being taller than show. "Forced perspective"? Why would they TRY to make Nash look taller than their GIANT? Is this why Nash always said he was the one true giant??? Yeah... show wore platforms as Nash has stated in an interview. Nash never wore those and he was close to shows height so show without lifts, is possibly shorter..

DickSock! Pro wrestling has a history of sticking guys at their designated billed weights, even if they lose a bunch of weight...or gain in some cases such as Adrian Adonis. Big Show had been down to 415-420 lbs for several months, but...WWE was still billing him @ 450 lbs & 441 lbs! Back several years ago when he got huge & gained massive weight & was in the 470-500 lbs range, WWE were billing him @ 475/485, sometimes 500! They Kept him at those billings for over a year after he dropped back down to 440-450. Was just saying it was refreshing to see them actually announce someone at the true legit current weight. They've only done that a handful of times over the 30-40 years. Especially when they want to portray a 7'0" & 450 lbs giant... Like I said, it was refreshing to see, since they had still been billing him at 450 & 441 for months,...when he was actually 420-ish. Just like with Andre who was legitimately 500 lbs to 520 lbs in 1986-early 1988...however, in late 1988/early 1989 Andre had briefly dropped back down to 470-480 lbs...but, was still being billed @ 520 lbs. So, yes ...a lot of times pro wrestlers true weights are a "secret"...just like there true heights. Even Big Show laughed his ass off at the thought of WCW billing him @ 7'4" back in the 1990's!

Show is 207 cm tall (6ft 9.5in). If you take a look at him next to Randy Orton in recent pics he's roughly 13 taller than him. I met Randy a few years ago. He's 194 cm tall (6ft 4.5 in).
Moreover at a recent show Shaq was clearly taller than him. If you consider that Shaq is 213 cm tall (7ft) Show can't be taller than 207 cm. He lost height throughout the years due to weight and wrestling matches...He was 211 cm tall (6ft 11in) at his peak. Rob what is your opinion? Thanks

If you actually look at what they are wearing in the ring, Big Show does not have a footwear advantage. They've never looked as far apart in the ring as they did on the red carpet, so my only conclusion is big show was slouching heavily which he tends to do given his weight, and which people can do in tight suits.

Comparisons with Shaq need to be taken with a grain of salt when Shaq wears basketball shoes. His basketball shoes are the biggest I've ever seen, he has to be getting 2-3 inches from them.

Rob, at any rate Big Show and Brahim Takioullah's head length are similar the reason Brahim's head can give longer impression is because his head is thinner and has a very thin physique. Big Show on the other hand, has a chest as wide as 70'' and is very bulky guy so in pictures it will obviously will not look massive, but in person you'd be surprised how HUGE Big Show's head is.

No I haven't. I believe he had some knee surgery in the past, but certainly no neck surgery, back surgery or a hip replacements. Those surgeries would've sidelined him for a number of months (neck surgery even close to a year). The only time Big Show ever took that amount of time from wrestling was in 2007. And he didn't have any surgeries during those months.

Big Show had around 3 inches on Nash in comparable footwear back in the early 2000s. Click Here Big Show has lost height but most is probably posture-related. There's a good deal of whiplash head movement in wrestling so he may have developed some osteoarthritis and resulting kyphosis in his neck.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
osteoarthritis and resulting kyphosis in his neck??
That counts double or triple for Andre, you can´t have it both ways.
Big Show with his biggest WCW-boots had never more than 3inches on Nash, if that.
So how can he be 3inches taller in comparable footwear?
Big Show was max 2inches taller than Nash, both barefoot.
If it was Andre you would´ve said he lifts a foot up and gains height in your pic.
Big Show has lost height, I agree

That counts double or triple for Andre, you can´t have it both ways.
Big Show with his biggest WCW-boots had never more than 3inches on Nash, if that.
So how can he be 3inches taller in comparable footwear?
Big Show was max 2inches taller than Nash, both barefoot.
If it was Andre you would´ve said he lifts a foot up and gains height in your pic.
Big Show has lost height, I agree

I tried an app that estimates the height from the image.With Akebono's height was 200 cm,Show's height was 208cm,
Ring gear Haystacks's height was 197cm.

Wich heights do you have again for Akebono?
Imo he wasn´t full 2,03m /6´8.25"evening facing Big Show, more like 2,02m,
Haystacks wasn´t under 1,98m /6´6" barefoot, 2m /6´6.75 in ring gear there,
Big Show was 2,11m /6´11" barefoot and in WCW gear 2,15m-2,16m.
The App sounds good regarding the gap.

Big Show had around 3 inches on Nash in comparable footwear back in the early 2000s. Click Here Big Show has lost height but most is probably posture-related. There's a good deal of whiplash head movement in wrestling so he may have developed some osteoarthritis and resulting kyphosis in his neck.

Those stock exchange pics are showing Paul is now only 6'10" barefoot
It's crazy considering how much height Big Show had on Kevin Nash (who I believe was 6'10" at the time in the WCW in the mid-late 90's. Hogan at that time was same height as 6'5" Scott Hall and Ted Dibiase was 6'3". He also TOWERED over minimum 6'7" Lochness.
Big Show was a legit 7'0.5" (could pull off a full 7'1") guy back then (he was listed as 7'1" in college basketball). His neck was very long (today he had no neck due to neck surgery). His upper torso was longer back then (he's had back surgeries). His legs were longer then too (he's had hip replacement surgery as well).

Just remember though, lets say Show is a flat 6'10 these days, which isn't impossible of course, it would in turn affect other wrestlers heights adversely.
Kane would be pushed down to 6'6 range for starters. Khali would be barely over 6'11, Show was around 1 inch shorter than him in most staredowns 5 years ago, and most would say that he always looked 7'1 range.
I still believe that in maximum posture he is closer to 6'11 than 6'10, he always manages to squeeze out extra height in staredowns if he is nose to nose with somebody and giving it everything, like he did with Khali, and Shaq a few years ago. In normal posture/slouching he can look a lot shorter.
Someone mentioned him being 6'9 on this site recently, now that is a joke.

Hard to gauge his height given footwear and the fact that it appears he slouches a lot(400+ pounds will do that).
In his youth probably 7 foot. Nowadays anywhere from 6-10 to 6-11.

Kane looks max 14cm-15cm taller than the Miz.
If Big Show is 6ft10 flat, Kane is 6ft6.25in and Miz 6ft0.25in - sounds pretty legit

He wouldn't do much in mma though as he isn't trained in any martial art or real wrestling. Akebono and Giant Silva were useless in mma. The pro wrestlers that have done well in mma (Shamrock, Severn, Lesnar, Lashley) all had strong amateur backgrounds. Angle in his peak, swagger, ziggler would have done well in mma most likely..undertaker, Kane, nash, rock and austin not so much

in that wwe faceoff big show was about an inch to an inch and a half shorter than shaq, whos listed as 7 feet 1 with shoes on. No way big show is 7 feet tall.

I posted something similar on the Andre page:
I've been seeing the Shaq photo floating around celebheights (credit to whomever posted it first). I was actually just at Ripley's last weekend. Here is a photo of myself in sneakers next to the height ruler: Click Here and myself barefoot next to the height ruler: Click Here and here is Shaq next to the height ruler: Click Here
My photos were taken around 11:30am. I believe barefoot I'm about 5'10.25" and in my sneakers somewhere around 5'11.5"-5'11.75" (I may appear a bit taller but it's because of my hair. If you look closely you can see the top of my scalp LOL)
I propose anyone here who is good at photoshop to use these pictures to help with debating Big Show's height. It looks like there's a 2" difference between Shaq and Show here, right? Click Here anyone good at photoshop want to superimpose Big Show against the height ruler and match it up with photos with guys that are around 5'10"-6'?
I'd recommend using my barefoot photo (where I'm a little over 5'10") cuz I think it's a better angle.
I'm not good at photoshop so I don't know how feasible this is with camera angles and everything, but I figured it'd be worth a shot to ask.

It should be 100% obvious to anyone that Shaq is at least 2" taller than Big Show. If you can't see that, you're delusional. Just look at them together at the ESPYs. Enough bs excuses. It's beyond obvious that Shaq is at least 2" taller and maybe closer to 3.

The same question could be asked of you. The high camera angle in your pic favors Shaq. Why do you keep avoiding the full body screen shot where they are equidistant from the camera? Click Here Click Here
You can speculate all you want about footwear but they looked pretty close in height Click Here
**********************************************************************************
Why do you still post your BS comparison with slouching Shaq???????????
The camera angle in my pic doesn´t favour Shaq because Kane who should have the biggest advantage by YOUR theory, still comes out where he should be - so NO Cameraangle advantage to Shaq.
I´m closer to the their footwearheight than your biased 7ft Big Show/ 6´10" Andre wet fantasy

Most recent interview where Kane keeps saying he was 6'8 in high school. He may have grown even taller out of high school which is very common or stayed that height. Either way he hasn't shrunk that much and it's clear he's at least 6'7 now bc with comfortable poster he's taller than pen Jillette who said Kane was taller. Pen says he's 6'7 himself.

dicksock said on 13/Aug/16 I like you Danimal, but exactly how long was Show over 500lbs? I would say from 2005-2006. For most of his career, he has been between about 350lbs-440lbs. Additionally, I am not familiar with any back, neck, or hip surgeries he has had. My guess would be that he was nearly 7' (maybe 6'11.5") and wore platform boots that made him about 7'1" in his prime. Now he is probably about 6'10.5". I think this site underestimates Shaq's height. I think he is still around 7'1" legit and at least 7'0.5". He looks way too tall next to The Rock, Charles Barkley, and John Jones to just be 7'0".

Your right he's top weight he said was about 487lbs and that was for only a year or so, and the 7'1'' was in he's boots and the big trainners they wear .and this flat 7' for Shaq is rubbish the 7'08" is more the truth.if not everyone needs a downgrade you can't keep listing Hogan at 6'6'' and Andre at 7'.no way was Andre Shaq's height.

corrected the tilt using the wall behind Andre. Andre is clearly edging Wilt looking at the top of their heads, Wilts neck is straight while Andre for sure could stretch a bit out.
So all storys and faked comparisons about Wilt being taller than cowboybootet Andre are out of the window.
Andre standing straight was no less than 2,18m in cowboyboots, look at Arnie next to him....
So the minimum inf ootwear height there is
Wilt 2,17m
Andre 2,18m
Arnie 1,88m

To those playing a revisionist of history with Big Show's PEAK height, I need to intervene. He was indeed significantly taller in the mid-late 90's. He was at least 7'0.5", if not a full 7'1".
*************************************************
So the heightloss-fetishist needs to intervene...
It´s proved he wasn´t even full 7´1" in giant soled boots, so unless you talk about measuring straight out of bed, 7´0.5"-7´1" is fanboyhype garbage as they tried hard to make him look as tall as possible in WCW.
Nash was 6´9" evening, 6´10" in normal wrestlingboots, Big Show in giant soled boots had 2.5" on him.
Big Show was 6´11" peak and is 6´10" today.
Agreed same heightloss as Andre.
Hogan, Piper are heavier stories regarding their health, especially Piper who lost about 4" due to removed spineparts b/c of cancer

It´s proved he wasn´t even full 7´1" in giant soled boots, so unless you talk about measuring straight out of bed, 7´0.5"-7´1" is fanboyhype garbage as they tried hard to make him look as tall as possible in WCW.
Nash was 6´9" evening, 6´10" in normal wrestlingboots, Big Show in giant soled boots had 2.5" on him.
Big Show was 6´11" peak and is 6´10" today.
Agreed same heightloss as Andre.
Hogan, Piper are heavier stories regarding their health, especially Piper who lost about 4" due to removed spineparts b/c of cancer

To those playing a revisionist of history with Big Show's PEAK height, I need to intervene. He was indeed significantly taller in the mid-late 90's. He was at least 7'0.5", if not a full 7'1". Carrying around over 500 pounds for years and years and taking major bumps, plus having height reducing surgeries (back, neck, hip)
___________________________
I like you Danimal, but exactly how long was Show over 500lbs? I would say from 2005-2006. For most of his career, he has been between about 350lbs-440lbs. Additionally, I am not familiar with any back, neck, or hip surgeries he has had. My guess would be that he was nearly 7' (maybe 6'11.5") and wore platform boots that made him about 7'1" in his prime. Now he is probably about 6'10.5". I think this site underestimates Shaq's height. I think he is still around 7'1" legit and at least 7'0.5". He looks way too tall next to The Rock, Charles Barkley, and John Jones to just be 7'0".
Click Here
Does anybody see less than 11" between Rock and Shaq? I mean let's get serious. Shaq looks to have about a foot on the bare minimum 6'2" Rock. So what is going on? At the risk of sounding dumb, maybe Shaq grew. I just can't see the Rock as less than around 6'3" because he is still taller than Roman Reins. Yet, can anyone dispute the fact that Shaq looks around 1' taller than him?
Rob, I would love to read your thoughts on the Shaq/Barkley/Rock picture I posted. Surely it contradicts the listings on your site by far.

Today he's floating around that 6'10" mark imo. In other words, he's followed in the footsteps of his hero (Andre the Giant).

Just a note: Adam Scherr has been officially measured @ 6'7-1/2" barefoot before! Fact! Know the man personally ...have worked out with him & The Silverback Crew in The Charlotte-Mooresville, NC area ! Dude is also a legit 365-385 lbs !!! Depending on his training & diet! He was home on a break back around July 4th - 8th...saw him weigh in @ 377 lbs wearing only socks, shorts & tank top! Adam: 6'7.5"
Paul: 6'10.75 to 6'11"
Paul still looks 6'11" morning height to me.

Big Show with at least 4.5 inches over Strowman...
Click Here
Strowman wears solid 1.5' boots from what I've seen so no advantage to anybody in the footwear department. Show at 6'10.5 would equal a 6'6 flat Strowman and I can't buy him being that short.
****************************************
4.5" noway, you´re right wit the footwear, but putting Big Shows head at a tad more than 12" it´s a 3.25" gap at best. 6´10.5" Big Show = 6´7.25" Strowman
6´10.5" is pretty fair for Big Show as he looked 6´10"flat next to Shaq with both in dressshoes.
Click Here
Big Show is closer to 6´10"flat than 6´10.5" evening today.
Imo 6´7.25" is a tad or two to high for Strowman, he looks more a weak 6´7"/ 6´6.75 outside the ring Click Here

I agree with the new 6'10.5 listing for Big Show. He sure looks it nowadays. I wouldn't even rule out 6'10 flat today. Look at him with 7'1 Shaq. Big Show was clearly a legit 7'0 in his prime though
Personally I think he looked more 6'11.5 up against Kevin Nash in wcw

Hmmm, another interesting down grade, but i do find this within the correct range for him, he would still wake up near 7 foot in the morning and would dip just below 6"11 at night time.

Here is Shaq with lose posture posing towards Big Show compared to Shaq standing with more straight back/neck.
Don´t come with excuses that Shaq gains height from position in the ring because Kane is further back than Shaq and comes out to Big Show how he should.
If Shaq has the claimed 1" advantage Kane would have 2" advantage being further back so stop with excuses.

Here’s a better shot, where the feet are aligned and both have good posture.

Here the difference is less than 2 inches. Both men have good posture and Big Show’s footwear advantage is nowhere near as large as you make it out to be. Big Show still looks 6’11” there.
And that’s a full body shot, where we can see their posture and where the camera angle isn’t favouring either man. You can’t say the same thing for those red carpet videos.

so Big Show Lover,
why not talking about the high camera angle reducing the gap??? here is a head level shot with Big Show straight and clearly 2"+ Click Here
Here´s their footwear from the red carpet, both in derssshoes Click Here
both man standing straight and clearly 2.5" + , for sure you´re not talking about Show being closer to the camera,
but find excuses for Shaq on higher ground - lol
there´re a few different vids, they walk from one interview to the next and the gap is always 2.5"-3".
I pegged Big Shows footwear advantage in ring at 0.4"-0.5" wich he has and wich fits with the red carpet pic with both in equal footwear.
Fact1 Shaq in ring with 0.4-0.5" less footwear ~2.25" taller
Fact2 Shaq red carpet in equal footwear ~2.5-2.75" taller
Never read you defending Andre that much... The Andre Wilt - Big Show Shaq comparison must be a shock for you.
But keep on believing in JT´s "altered" Andre pics.

Khali is obvious taller than Shaq in the pic that you post.
No, Khali is shorter, his head is lower and therefore closer to the camera wich gives Shaq a visual disadvantage, Shaq is clearly the taller man there if the camera goes higher.
Andre was 2,11m peak evening imo same as peak Big Show.
Khali 2,13-2,14m during his first WWE years, maybe taller as a young bodybuilder... Never had a full 6 inches on Taker more 5-5.5"
Shaq 2,15m doubt he lost height...

the truble with all this is you are showing most wrestlers in the Evening,and men of this height or weight are going to be at least 1 each shorter,than the morning,and the only good comparason on this page is the Haystacks Big show,and the Tenta Big Show,and all you can tell from that is Haystacks is taller than Tenta because he comes higher up the nose even with thiner shoes,
So unless you can find Tenta and Andre in the same upright stand off,it's all if's and buts.
I think Big Show peak was 7' morning 6'11'' evening,so he should be listed here as 6'11.5'', Andre was 6'11'' morning 6'10'' Evening,so should be listed as 6'10.5''. IMO

Upper right has the real gap between Shaq and Show there, Shaq easy has 1"-1.25" in dressshoes on a cowboybooted Big Show.

I'm not saying Show is in the 6'10" range for sure, but I will say there is at least 2" between him and Shaq. Anybody who thinks Shaq is 7'0" and Show is 6'11" is blind. Perhaps it's 7'1" and 6'11" respectively. But, you can't have it both ways.

Putting Big Show at a realistic 7ft flat in wrestlingboots shows his boots give easy 1.8".
Shaq comes out at 7´2.5" in 1.3"-1.4", even if Shaqs footwear gives him more, it doesn´t change anything for Big Show.
****If Shaq is really 7ft flat, he would be ~7´1.5" in this footwear,wich means Big Show would be 6´11" in 1.8" footwear/ 6´9.2" barefoot.*****
This has been pointed out to you before, but you have captured a staredown between Big Show & Shaq, where the high camera angle is favouring Shaq. Look at the alignment of their feet, Big Show is standing slightly closer to the camera, which in this case is a disadvantage.
Here’s a better shot, where the feet are aligned and both have good posture.

Here the difference is less than 2 inches. Both men have good posture and Big Show’s footwear advantage is nowhere near as large as you make it out to be. Big Show still looks 6’11” there.
And that’s a full body shot, where we can see their posture and where the camera angle isn’t favouring either man. You can’t say the same thing for those red carpet videos.
There are several recent pictures of Big Show standing next to tall athletes. Big Show next to 6’11” listed basketball player Kevin Laue, or 6’10” listed basketball player Mychal Thompson. Or how about that pic of Big Show standing next to that 6’11” fan Connor Cronk. Big Show consistently looked 6’11” next to these guys, unless all of them are shorter than what they’re listed at or claim to be.
How much taller do you think Andre was than Big Show, considering you’re claiming a cowboy booted Andre was taller than Wilt, Wilt was taller than Shaq and Shaq was over an inch taller than a cowboy booted Big Show?
You recently claimed you thought both of them were ~6’11” prime, but comments like these leads me to believe you think Andre was around 2 inches taller.
And when did the WWE ever claim Big Show was nearly 7ft tall. Never once did I hear them claim this. I challenge you to post proof of this claim.

Outsideheight of the sole = at least insideheight for Big Show, Shaq´s shoes give a bit less because inside is usually lower than the outside design.

Nice comparison, peak Big Show has Tenta by 6 inches minus ~0.75" footwearadvantage. Tenta needs to be still 6´5.75" to make Big Show 6´11" flat barefoot

Andre in 1991 was around 5 inches taller than Big Boss Man Click Here and Tenta was around 2 inches taller than Big Boss Man so Andre was around 3 inches taller than Tenta at this point. Click Here

Andres posture is crap next to Bossman and Tenta, look at him next to Tenta - his chin is three inches lower than his shoulderheight, that´s an enormous slouch.
If Andre could achive Big Shows posture like in your Big Show Tenta comparison he would be easy 4-4.5" taller.

Shaq’s and Big Show’s shoes gave a comparable boost Click Here

Outsideheight of the sole = at least insideheight for Big Show, Shaq´s shoes give a bit less because inside is usually lower than the outside design.
