And here is Undertaker with 6'4" ORton and 6'5" JBL

Here is is with JBL but the pic isn't good because JBL is closer to the CAmera and Undertaker has his head down.

-There is a thing called Cowboy boots which JBL is wearing in that pic.
6'10" has always been Undertakers billed height. Between 6'10" and 6'8". He was listed at 6'8" for a Tale of the Take for a match between him and Kurt Angle who was listed at 6'0"

No one really has a footwear advantage as the height difference is similar to when they were barefoot.

Hogan is way under his billed height of 6'8, John studd is way under his billed height of 6'10, 6'5 for Studd, Undertaker and studd would be the same height. Undertaker was billed at 6'11 he is 6'5 standing next to JBL.
Bill Goldberg was billed 6'4 in WCW, Wilts early career height was 6'11, he could be 6'11 and some change so I'd go 7'1 in his shoes and put Kareem 7'1 barefoot and 7'2 in his shoes.
If Tyler Mane turns out to be 6'6 or 6'7 thats gonna pose a problem for Andre being 7'0 barefoot.

JBL is the same height as Undertaker, JBL is 6'5 1/2 lowest height I found for him. Goldberg was never 6'3 he is listed in football at 6'2 to 6'2 1/2. Look at the pic of JBl and Undertaker I put on my last post, same height.
Spivey is listed as 6'6 in Football at the most seeing him stand next to Fralic makes me think he is 6'5, Fralic is listed 6'5.
As for Kareem he is listed 7'1 and some change on this site, Wilt is shorter looks 6'11ish with Kareem, I think they exaggerated his height to make him 7'1.
Andre equals out in height next to wilt in his boots so 6'11 for Wilt and 6'10 for Andre. Tyler Mane being 6'8 puts Andre at 6'10. Kevin Nash is 6'8.
Tyler Mane went from 7'0, all the way down to 6'8, and they were saying he was 6'10 so people would think Kevin Nash was 6'10 when they wrestled together.
As For Andre if he was 7'0 it would of had to of been before his back surgery, Hard to tell because of trick photography to make him appear taller than 6'10 still taller than a 6'8 door.

Well, how on earth did he grow to 6'11 and then shrink down to 6'7.5, Dan Spivey is listed as 6'6 in football offically, Next to Bill Fralic who is listed as 6'5 in football, Dan Looks 6'5 next to Fralic, You put Undertaker next to Dan Spivey Undertaker Looks 6'5. In his shoes I'd say 6'6.
6'7 is his billed height... I used to think Hogan was 6'5 but after seeing him with Troy Aikman, I think Hulk is 6'3 and a half. Undertaker could be 6'6ish in his barefeet, and 6'7 with his boots on.
Nash is listed 6'10 in basketball, but it turns out he is 6'8, When standing next to Tyler Mane who is 6'8. Nash had about 2 to 3 inches Over Spivey, Undertaker and Sid.
They had Ben Davidson of Football and Conan fame listed as 6'8 now I find out Ben is only 6'6 which puts Hulk at around 6'3 1/2 maybe 6'4. hes slightly shorter than 6'4 Troy Aikman.
If Troy Aikman is 6'4 barefoot, that would put him at 6'5 in his shoes, I think you can hogan up to 6'4 1/2 in his shoes.

FCW have actually downgraded a lot of wrestlers heights in recent months. Like Bo Rotunda was 6'3" but is now 6'1" and Big E Langston (who was listed as 6'0" in college football) has been downgraded to 5'11". Perhaps WWE is trying to be slightly more legit with the sizes of their wrestlers, which is good to see.

Big Show's real weight is well above 397lbs I can bet on that. When he was really 400-420lbs in his year in WWF they were billing him at 500lbs as well then he really got up to around that weight as years went on

Big Show must have had a 2 inch advantage but man, the guy looks about 5.5 inches taller than Haystacks! Pause exactly at 2:11. Wouldn't be surprised if he was 7'2" peak height.

It's looks like they have about the same posture to me.

I still think Big Show would measure at least 6'11 and change today. His posture only can make him appear shorter. If Shaq and Khali are both 7'1 than Big Show is minimum 6'11.5. There was 1.5 inches max between them with Big Show.
How tall do you think he was in the WCW Alex?

Sorry but Big Show only looks about an inch shorter than Shaq. He is hovering around the 7'0 mark for sure, at worst 6'11.5"?

Dicksock, his posture looked pretty bad from what was shown on TV This is from a video taken from the opposite side of the arena Click Here they look a little closer in height here than what the TV camera showed. Khali looks a legit 7’1” and he did not have 2 inches on Big Show.
With 6’3” Kevin Greene Click Here Anything above 7 foot is doubtful though IMO.

Big Show looks about 6'11" next to Shaq.

Both guys have similar footware. I've always thought Show was 7'. It looks like I may be wrong. There is no evidence that he has lost any height either.

I still think Big Show would measure at least 6'11 and change today. His posture only can make him appear shorter. If Shaq and Khali are both 7'1 than Big Show is minimum 6'11.5. There was 1.5 inches max between them with Big Show.

I remember in 2006 how big he got and was easily over 500lbs. I read somewhere he got to 525lbs. He came back in early 2008 and was over 100lbs less but has def gained alot weight back but he doesn't look as big as he did in 2006 still. 1999-2000 right around WM 2000 he was in good shape. He got hurt came back in summer 2000 bigger and fatter then was gone again and came back in 2001 in better shape. It was really from mid-late 2002 where hes just been bigger and never back to his days from 2000 or before.

Everyone saying Show is below 7'0 is just plain crazy, he was within half an inch of the 7'1 Shaq with equal footwear on, at some times actually appearing taller than Shaq. It wasn't until O'Neal put on Basketball shoes with a 2 inch lift that he gained any discernible height advantage over show who was in his wrestling boots. Before you say Shaq's shoes didn't give him 2" above barefoot My own off the shelf size 9 tennis shoes give me a full 1 1/2" over barefoot height, so it's a good assumption that a pair of size 22s would give at least 2"

Still well over 6'11, when he stands straight.
He has a huge upper body, so even a small slouch can drop him an inch or two.
The only difference between The Giant in WCW and the Big Show of today, is smaller boots, no hair, and worse posture.

Didn't The Giant(Big Show) have some spinal fusion done after Big Kev dropped unfortunately right on the back of his next. He could have lost and inch or two from that. Not sure but 7'1 could be Big shows Height in shoes and he is really 6'11 to 7'0. Kevin Nash 6'8ish and Big show 6'11 to 7'0 looks right, he measured up to shaq.
Drummer77, if a wrestler has spinal fusion or neck fusion he'll be out of action for close to a year (or maybe even never). Big Show was only out for a few weeks. The whole angle that Nash broke Big Show's neck was I believe kayfabed, so Big Show could take a few weeks off to film his part in The Waterboy.

Assuming those are standard cinder blocks, that’s a full 88 inch cinder block wall Click Here Big Show comes out right around 7’4” in shoes, or the usual ~ 4 inch inflation over barefoot height from that camera angle. Given the shadows, he’s standing pretty close to that wall too.
Matching that wall up with the wall in the photo of Andre and Backlund yields Click Here Big Show probably has around a 0.75” footwear advantage.
So if Big Show is really under 6’11” now that would make this peak height Andre....

When in WCW, Big Show told Jay Leno that he was 7'3".
He told him 7'3.5", but 7'4" with the puffed up hair. I still have that episode of Jay Leno on a VHS tape. I believe he floated somewhere between 7'0" and 7'1" in the WCW (mid-late 1990's). Today seems to be a shade under 6'11". Definite height loss. Could be due to posture, or surgery. His massive weight and injuries along with horrible posture could have contributed to this premature height loss.

When in WCW, Big Show told Jay Leno that he was 7'3". He also said on some British show several years ago that he was 7'1" at age 18. He usually says just 7 feet now, which is all I believe he ever was.

Paul played JC college basketball for Wichita State....and his Sophmore year was listed at 7'1" & 325lbs. But...everyone knows that college & NBA teams list height with sneakers on...and "NOT" barefoot!....
Not always true. Pao Gasol and Andrew Bynum are a legit 7'0" barefoot and get listed at that height. Kareem was listed at his true barefoot height (7'2"). Mark Eaton (7'4") was too, as was Larry Bird (6'9"), Barkley (6'6"), Manute Bol and Muresan (7'7"), and some others from that era.
BTW Wichita State is a NCAA division one b-ball school, not a junior college. Big Show did play a year of junior college before transferring to Wichita State. His height at Wichita State may have been in shoes.

So, I'm sure Paul was 6'11.75"-7'0" barefoot & listed at 7'1".

Big Show was at least 7'1" because he was measured @ 7'1" barefoot by Northern Oaklahoma Junior College. He continued to grow till the day he has his tumor removed and that was when he achieved his peak height. He's had back and knee surgery and his spine has probably taken a lot of damage over the decades in wrestling. He's still 7'0" after a long night's sleep. He may be as short as 6'11 1/4" after a long day. He's still a LEGIT 7 footer and was WELL WELL over 7 feet tall in his prime.
Do you have proof of such a measurement? Or are you just saying so, because he was listed at that height in college.
Big Show himself stated in a 2010-2011 interview that he’s the same height today as he was in college. So according to the man himself he has not lost height, so goodbye to that excuse. Unless Paul Wight is a liar or you know more about Wight's height than he does himself.
When Big Show made his WWE debut in 1999 (age 27) he was billed at 7 feet tall. Considering they gave him the moniker “Largest Athlete in the World” I kinda doubt they would list the guy below his actual height. They certainly exaggerated his weight, as Paul Wight didn’t weigh 500 lbs at the time.
And when did Big Show have back and knee surgery?

chris z those links do not "prove" Big Show was a legit 7'0" (although I believe he probably was and was taller than a peak Andre), as b-ball player heights can include their height in shoes. A 7'0" reference at age 16 could mean he was around 6'11" barefoot although he would still have a few more years of growth. A few posters here several years ago claimed that Big Show was listed at 6'11" in college and played forward - they just made this up to support their own height estimates for him and others.

Maybe Big Show was 6'11 all along and not 7ft?
No kid. Nash was 6'10". Big Show had between 2-3" on him in the WCW.

Paul WAS close to that height in the mid-late 1990's. He was over a flat 7'0" for sure in the WCW. Today, he's lucky if he's a flat 6'11".

The documentary was pretty good, but I was somewhat disappointed about the matches they chose. Unfortunately they only choose to select matches in which Big Show won, and not too many of those are any good.

Shaq i wud say is 6ft 11. i think he wud have the edge on dalip singh, dalip singh has a massive body due to bodybuilding and giantism but his height is around 6ft 10 barefoot. His wrestling boots and massive torso make him look bigger than he actually is. (height wise. WWe exagerrate the heights of the wrestlers bigtime, dont take any notice of what the commentators say, its all ****e. randy orton for example is around 6ft 2/3. More 6ft 2 in my opinion. all this 6ft 4 for this guy is aload of ****e. if u look at luther reigns who is definately 6ft 4 and look at orton, u will see a difference. or even mark jindrak who admits to being 6ft 5. Those guys are big. orton isnt big at all.

I remember when he had a sumo match with akebono who is 6ft 8 barefoot and he looked it, akebono was almost as tall as him, paul wight only looked slightly taller, an inch if that. even the wwe commentator tazz said that akebono was almost as tall as big show. if big show was 7ft tall, the height gap between akebono and paul wight would of been pretty noticeable. i didnt notice a gap really at all. Paul wight was barefoot at the time. Other people will have there views, maybe a few people think am talking ****e but if u look at the youtube clip at wrestlemania between big show vs akebono. Hopefully u will see where am coming from. sorry to break big show fans hearts, but your monster hero is just like everyone else, hes just a large man like myself, not a giant.

NCL, in 1994 Nash was an easy 4 inches shorter than Kareem.
Click Here
Click Here
And there's little to argue about Kareem's height. He was measured at 7'1 5/8" at age 22. Listed at 7'1.5" til the age of 23 and at age 19 they listed him at 7'1 3/8". So he was around 7'1.5" in his prime.
That would put Nash around 6'9.5" and that's already pushing it. He mostly looks 6'9-6'9.5" in most of the pics/vids I've seen of him.
As for Tyler Mane. How tall do you think this guy is.

6'11-6'11 1/2 is possible for Big Show. I wouldn't go under 6'11 for him though. He can look 6'10 only because of his posture. Standing straight an easy 6'11

if mane had the footwear advantage it was minimal, he is wearing same boots as here and those are not more than an inch Click Here
Agreed, but I think Andre's shoes and Nash's shoes look similar - almost flat. If you watch the Nash/Mane match you can see when they start wrestling that his shoes are nearly flat. That would put Mane at 6'9" and Nash/Andre IMO 6'10.25" tops at the time
(My personal opinion is Nash is 6'10", at the very least at peak. I believe Andre was 6'10" when he passed on/during his match with Mane and about 7' at his peak)

2 meters is 6'7 exactly I think? Nash is easily 3 inches passed that line but in shoes and the lower angle can make him appear a bit taller than he is so he'd be at least 6'9 in shoes so 6'8 barefoot today perhaps? I stick with my 6'10 peak for Nash and he could have lost 2 inches of height.

The angle of that mug shot is how it should be (straight on at head level), like the one with Barkley Click Here (the pic on the right) and with Sean O'Hair Click Here The camera in the mug shot with Nash may be a little lower than it should be, although it may only look that way due to Nash tilting his head back to look taller.

He is without a doubt the biggest human being you will ever see if you happen to meet him and he is medically considered a giant.

I'll let everyone else handle the Big Show debate. But I've been seeing a lot of Orton 6'2" stuff lately. I have to kindly disagree with that. I think he's a solid 6'4" and probably taller in his chunky boots.
A 6'2" Orton results in an only 6'2" or 6'3" Jake Roberts Click Here and Click Here (1:30 mark)
What about Edge? It would make him 6'1" Click Here 1:56 mark and on plus other videos related on the side
I don't have a photo, but I saw Orton from about 10 feet away after a wrestling event and he definitely looked 6'4" to me. My dad's 6'2", I have a 6'4" Uncle, a 6'5" uncle, and a good friend of mine is 6'1". That's what I used for reference.

I remember that! Paul's weight has always been a guess too - I think low 400s is more accurate for him in 1998 and his WCW years. In WWF Unscripted, a book published by WWF in 2003, the wrestlers talked out of Kayfabe and he claimed 450 then. I think he hit close to 500 before he took his sabbatical and came back to fight Mayweather, where then he was back down to the low 400s. I'd see he's low 400s now

Big Show looks just as tall next to Kane as he did in 1999. I guess Kane has lost 2" since then aswell, and Undertaker...and Triple H.... and everyone else.
A 6"10 Show would put Shaq and Khali under 7"0, both are legit 7"1 guys.
I'd bet a lot of money he'd still measure at least 6"11 under the tape.

So w/ Show - I'd say he's still a good 6'11" if he stands fully straight, which he doesn't really do unless it's with a guy like Shaq or Khali.
And I believe at peak Show was easily a full 7'
This is not the first time, I exactly agree with you. I have peak Big Show at 7' and think, he has lost between 0.5" and 1" (certainly not more than that!). The difference between Shaq and him seems to be about 1.5" in my opinion.

Show is still 6"11.5 if he really arches his back out, he looked it with Shaq/Khali when he stood at his tallest, infact with Khali he looked 7"0. In the second segment with Shaq, Show never made the attempt to stand at his maximum, so for him to only look nearly 2 inches shorter still puts him above 6"11.
I honestly believe he was very close to 7"0 in his prime and has lost a little fraction (0.25") due to his weight, but nothing like 2 inches, thats absurd.

That's been brought up a lot here. Show did indeed have a big heel on his boots in the first segment. There was probably tops an 1" difference between the two at that point:
Click Here (pic)
Click Here (if you pause between 3:51 and 3:52, you can see the heel)
But later in the night I think they had comparable footwear. Shaq had on a sneaker and shoe had on his wrestling boots but I dont think the heel on those were nearly as much as the ones he was wearing with the suit. There's closer to a 2" difference here I think:

Click Here (if you pause between 3:51 and 3:52, you can see the heel)
But later in the night I think they had comparable footwear. Shaq had on a sneaker and shoe had on his wrestling boots but I dont think the heel on those were nearly as much as the ones he was wearing with the suit. There's closer to a 2" difference here I think:

Click Here (you can see Shaq's boots as he enters the ring and the staredown is 20 sec in)
Shaq appears to be the same height as Khali - my guess is they're both 7'1"
Click Here
So w/ Show - I'd say he's still a good 6'11" if he stands fully straight, which he doesn't really do unless it's with a guy like Shaq or Khali.
And I believe at peak Show was easily a full 7'

He's somewhere between 6'10" and 6'11" today. Mid-late 90's he was between 7'0" and 7'1" imo.
When did you think he lost 2"-3"? Can't have been since 2006, since he has the same height advantage on Kane now as he did back then. He also doesn't look any shorter in person to Vegas in 2010 compared to 2001. His posture is definitely worse these days, but a potential ~3" height loss is a bit much IMO.

Here's an interview segment from OVW between Big Show & Dean Hill.
For what it's worth, Dean Hill is listed Click Here at 6'5". Don't know if they also exaggerate the heights of announcers, but he did look close to 6'5". He towered over Rob Conway (never knew he was that short) and was also several inches taller than Mark Henry. He also looked close to the same height as the Collector (Sylvest Terkay, who's listed at 6'6").

Here's a match from OVW 2000 in which at the end the Big Show appears to face Leviathan (better known as Batista). Batista is wearing some chunky boots, which had to boost his height to look close to that 6'7-6'8" billing he was getting in OVW.
When Big Show left the WWE in early August 2000 he also weighed around that 485 lbs. This is one month later and he probably hasn't lost any weight by then (which was the reason he was sent to OVW). Big Show looks heavier here than he does nowadays. Plus he had a lot more muscle mass back then.

To be honest when he weighed in with Maywether I was suprised he was only 441...he was still huge after the weight loss. Looks to be pushing 500 again now, which is a shame
A shame indeed, this has been seemingly beyond his control for long a while now. He needs to retire within at least 5 years to save his health(if not life).

When Big Show was weighed-in at 494 lbs on Smackdown in 2005 he was a lot fatter than he is nowadays. I don't think Big Show's weighs 485 lbs as the WWE is billing him at. He has gained some weight since he returned in early 2008 (he was weighed in at 441 lbs back then), so I'm guessing he's now somewhere in the 450-460 region.
Looks every bit 485 to me.

I've met a few ball players myself and the only one that looked his height was Chien-Ming Wang. Melky Cabrera and Robinson Cano were both 2 inches shorter than what they're listed at. Soriano is probably 5'10.5"-5'11".

Perhaps that pic is being kept up because it directs more people to this site? I found this site when I googled the words 'Big Show height'.

That kills this site's credibility. Pics should only be accepted by known users, not just someone who shows up for a short time and then simply vanishes. For the record, that "mike" said he thought the Big Show was 6' 11.
Rob doesn't really care about the wrestler's pages. We're the ones that analyze this to death. Rob slapped on a height for each wrestler and that's where it stays. What I don't understand is that the wrestler's pages are probably the most popular pages behind Rob, Glenn, Height, Stallone, Arnold and Tom Cruise.
Mike stated he was 6'1 3/4". Rob NEVER changed it. Also, Vegas's friend is 6'4" and stood next to Big Show, yet Rob never put it up???

Andre looked taller compared to jake roberts than he did to hogan because hogan used to wear lifts in his boots. jesse ventura stated in a shoot interview that both john studd and hogan wore lifts because they had complexes about trying to be as big as Andre.
meh, ventura hates hogans and has said numerous things about him over the years, its like the bret hart/ric flair on-going feud, i believe nothing either man says about each other to be honest.
there is a 1978 video of hogan in wafer thin flip-flops and andre in cowboy boots and hogan measures up very well to andre (no more than 6-7 inches shorter) despite a big footwear disadvantage for hogan

We know nothing of the "mike" other than he claimed. I guess I could just simply send Rob any random pic under a different name and he'd just accept it and keep it on the site. That kills this site's credibility. Pics should only be accepted by known users, not just someone who shows up for a short time and then simply vanishes. For the record, that "mike" said he thought the Big Show was 6' 11.

hey big show, it's mike. if you go on the famous heights website. it says he was listed at 6 ft 11 back in university. it could be wrong like, but that's were i got the informaton from. same for dalip singh.
I know there are websites who report this, however it has never been proven. Yet it has been proven that Big Show was listed as 7'1" at Wichita State University. On top of that all newspaper articles at the time also refer to him as 7'1".
It happens many times that someone simply makes this stuff up and mentions it on an internet board. And without providing the slightest bit of proof this story takes a life of it's own afterwards.
For Dalip Singh it's the same thing. It has been proven that he was listed at 7'1 in bodybuilding. No one has ever been able to provide proof of this 6'11 1/2 listing.

Judging form the pic, it looks like there is nothing more than 10.5 inch gap between the guy and Big Show. Could he have shrunk?

No I would say Albert's boots give him 1.25 advantage but I was shocked how much taller A-train is. I belive Sapp is a good 6'4, and without boots on maybe A-train would still be 2.5 to 3 inches taller for a possible 6'6.

Sapp is 6'3".
I believe Sapp was measured at 6'4. For Antonio Inoki's sake he'd better be (who looks to be in excellent shape here, so I doubt he has lost much height).
Click Here
And it's funny that some posters here are claiming that Albert's boots must give Albert a 2" height boost. I guess Kane must be getting a 5" height boost from his as his boots look much more chunkier than Albert's (which look like standard wrestling boots to me).
I like Inoki's tie.

Hmmm Nice Vid of A-train and Sapp. Yeah A-train's boots will give him 1.75 to 2 good inches but It def propves that A-train was at least 6'5.5 or somthing like that.

A-train is more like 3.5" taller than Sapp in that video. A-train has a HUGE advantage in his lift boots compared to barefoot sapp... at least 2" advantage right there. Which comes out at what I would think; 6'4.5" Sapp and 6'6" Albert (both barefoot heights).

You got that right Topdweed ! Guess who else was a friend whom I used to
hang out with in Dubai ! And in my guess he would have towered over Big
Show by at least 6 inches ! His name was Abdul Jabbar and you can all see
his picture with me in the Naseer Ahmed page ! He claimed to be 7' 6.5 " !
But his room mate said he measured him at only 7' 4.5 " barefoot . Also I
heard from his friends that he took a picture with Alam Channa and Channa
almost had seven inches on him . He was very dissappointed with that picture
and never showed that picture to me or anyone . In the photo which he took
with Naseer , he had 1 inches footwear Advantage but Naseer still towered
over him by 5 inches . He was very angry for that photo too ! Even more
strange was the fact that he wasn't the tallest man in Dubai ! But he still
was a very nice guy and a good friend .

I doubt the Yeti was originally supposed to be Giant Gonzalez. The reason he had a high billing, was because Paul Wight was billed at 7' 4, and the Yeti appeared to be a couple inches taller than him, so obviously the Yeti's height had to be billed higher than 7' 4.
Kevin Nash was never taller than 6' 10. He himself has stated several times that he is 6' 10. I haven't once heard him say he is 6' 11. After Kevin Nash (at the time Diesel) left the WWF, I actually had a chance to talk to Shawn Michaels, and I actually flat out asked him how tall Kevin Nash his. He said Nash is 6' 10.5". I don't see why he'd lie, especially since he was billed at 7'.
Mamum: yes, I believe Randy Orton is legitimately 6' 4. He's taller than Batista, Hulk Hogan, and Edge. And he measures up to about the same area on the Big Show as Vegas' 6' 4" friend did. I don't you weren't impressed by his height, perhaps you have just grown numb to 7' people since you've seen plenty of them.

BTW the reasoning Yeti had such a tall billing was the fact that it was originally supposed to be Giant Gonzales as the Yeti not reis. Reis and show are both about 7'0.5 peak reis maybe 7'1.
Where did you get that information from? Giant Gonzalez retired from wrestling in 1994 and returned to Argentine, so I doubt they considered him to play the Yeti.

Whatever height Nash comes out to next to Kareem in 1994, we already know that Big Show had 3" on Nash in 1996, so, we can gauge from there as to how tall Big Show was at his peak, with Nash having been minimum 6'10" (some even state 6'11").

the nash/kareem video was shown on wwf programming, around the end of 1994/start of 1995, i saw it twice on wwf superstars and again on raw i think
its from an nba/basketball award ceremony that nash attended, everyone in the video was in tuxedos
Thanks. I found out from which show it is. WWF ACTION ZONE December 4, 1994. The award show was called American Sportscaster Association Awards.
A guy I trade/buy a lot of wrestling dvd's with has this Action Zone episode in his collection, so let's see if I can trade with him.
