Danimal, well some nights you'll sleep longer which can cause you to be slightly taller out of bed.
Right now I actually lost a bit of weight and went from 200lbs down to 195lbs but I was thinking maybe of getting to 220-225lbs but then risking putting on some body fat but I'd now rather get to 205-210lbs but put on pure muscle.

Alex, I hit 5'9 3/4" today right out of bed! I haven't seen this height in 3 years. I was consistently either 5'9 3/4, 5'9 7/8 or 5'10" up until 27. Since then, my tallest was 5'9.5" (until recently that is). Now I was 5'9 5/8" a week ago and 5'9 3/4" over the weekend!! I'm growing at 30, or at least regaining some of my lost height!!

Big Show: more than likely. Remember Kane is billed at 7' and he is most likely 6' 7 or 6' 8. Big Show is probably the only legit 7' footer who is billed at 7'.

the WWE already have Mike Jarvi aka Giant Titan on their books down in Florida and he a legit 6'11 330lb (thats what i am hearing anyway), i believe he is being billed as 7ft 2 down there. There doesn't seem to be any move to bring him to the WWE despite being there since October of last year.
ryan wilson had a very good gimmick (Jacob Duncan) and seemed certain to be called up given his size but he was let go, look for him to turn up as Cornettes new bodyguard in TNA very soon

That 7' for the new wrestler WWE signed is probably exagerrated. He doesn't look that tall to me. He's signed to a developmental contract, so it's not even sure he'll make it to the main roster.

Apparently the WWE has signed a new tall guy, who was billed at 7' in WWC. I've never heard of this guy, but let's see if he's any good. It'll probably take another couple of months before he will be send to the main roster.

Alex, I'm freaking out, because just this morning I hit a fraction under 5'9 3/4" first thing in the morning. I haven't been this tall in 3 years. Up until 3 years ago, I was averaging between 5'9 3/4", 5'9 7/8" and 5'10". Since then the tallest I was seeing was 5'9.5" until recently. As I mentioned, I was 5'9 5/8" a few days ago and this morning a fraction under 5'9 3/4". I was certain that would never reach the same height I was at 27, but now at 30, I'm creeping back up to it!! So, you're exactly 3" taller than me Alex. BTW, I'm down from 220 to about 205-207 now. Shedding some serious pounds! What are you weighing these days?

making shatner taller was the least of the producers worries, they had no money for season 3 and every day the feared cancellation

Alex, I do as Glenn does. I tell them my top height. Kinda weird to say that I am 5'9 5/8", so I say 5'9.5"-5'10". A legit 5'10" guy who is measured at 5'10" at night will probably have a little more than an inch on me at night. So, it can get complicated.

Danimal, some days you'll be slighly taller or shorter out of bed. Depends on how long you sleep or something. When asked your height you tell people your out of bed height? I tend to go with the lowest height of the day, that or midday. I never claim my out of bed height.

jerry lawler walked right by me on the street in new york in 2002 after an episode of Raw in MSG, 5'10 would be about right, lawler had a few inches on william shatner in the ring in the mid 1990s, shatner is probably around 5'8 or 5'9 given that he wasn't that much shorter than 6ftish nimoy in star trek.

Brah: I'd say that if 7' 1 was Big Show's height in shoes in basketball, then he was probably 7' barefeet. I have never seen b-ball shoes give 1.5 inches in height, that's quite a bit, especially for those type of shoes. 1 inch I can believe. I have a pair of running shoes (yeah I know it's not basketball) that only give me about 1/2" in height.

Shaq is 7' 1: Big Show was tall enough to be listed as 7' 1 in college basketball. Obviously to even be listed as 7' 1 in college ball, he had to be orbiting the 7 foot mark.

Just because WWE bills Big Show at 7 foot does not mean he is under. He was also listed as 7'1" when he played college basketball, alot of people forget that.
If that was his height with shoes on like they do for some players, then he was still at least 6'11.5" back then.

Well if you look up the Wild Samoans on Obsessedwithwrestling, there were only 3 members: Afa, Sika & Samu. Afa was billed as 6'2, Samu as 6'4 and Sika as 6'2. I think Rikashiku is referring to match-up that took place in 1983, where Andre had several tag-team matches against the Wild Samoans. The only match that involved both Rocky Johnson and John Studd and was a 4 on 4 competition was on 16 July 1983 where Andre, Ivan Putski, Jay Strongbow and Rocky Johnson teamed against John Studd and the 3 members of the Wild Samoans.

if you get their heights. i think i can get john studs height and Andre the Giants.

Big Show: I kinda gotta disagree with you. I think the reason Big Show didn't use many power moves, is because they wanted Khali to have the upper hand most of the time. I mean, Khali isn't exactly a great wrestler or anything, so they had to let him take control and keep the match at his pace. As for the choke slam, it was more pathetic than Khali's move, because Big Show only uses one hand for that move. Khali gets to use both hands to assist him in lifting the person. Also, it's not easy to choke slam someone just as tall as yourself. Someone who is 6' is easy to lift for someone the height of Big Show. He'd just grab them by the neck, and lift his hand to around his own shoulder's height, and then slam them. With someone as tall as Khali, his hand would have to go way over his head and even then, Khali wouldn't be that high off the ground.

Ola, you're such an idiot. I feel arguing with you, is like arguing with someone who has a servere learning disability.
John Studd was billed at 360 pounds until 1984. From 1985-1986 he was billed at 367 pounds. Upon his return in 1989 he was billed at 380 pounds and by 1990, he was said to be up to 405 pounds.
For a 6'7" powerlifter (which he WAS), he was HUGE all around and easily weighed 360-380. He was said to have been down to 320-330 by the mid 90's (the time of his death) and that was due to poor health.

For a 6'7" powerlifter (which he WAS), he was HUGE all around and easily weighed 360-380. He was said to have been down to 320-330 by the mid 90's (the time of his death) and that was due to poor health.

Click Here check it out quick because I'm sure it will be pulled. pause it at 1:53 where they are literally face to face. Big Show and Khali have the same type of footwear. I will come out and say it, there isn't even 1 inch difference between the two! MAYBE just .5" difference.

I watched Backlash....i swear there is nothing more than 1 inch between the two...perhaps 6'11.5'' -7 ft is big show's real height. I still remember someone posting something here from a WWE magazine saying khali's height was 7 foot and 3/4 inches. I'd say that is legit....so for the 2 giants....Big show 6'11.5'' and khali at 7 ft and 3/4 inches.
PEACE

I didn't watch Backlash last night but there is a good photo on WWE.com of them facing off last night and I see no more than just an inch. They still are saying a 7'3 Khali wanting us to think its 3 inches while its only 1.

john studd 380 lbs?! yeah keep dreaming... if the guy was BILLED to 367 how can he possible weighed 380?! he was for sure not even at 300. and hogan 320 lbs danimal? when he was billed to 303... u must be the only one in here who believe some guys were BIGGER than their already ridiculous billed sizes... hogan was maybe around 280 at his heaviest, so plz ... wake up!
In his early WWF-days when Hogan was still a heel he was billed as 320 lbs.
Click Here
Above is a wrestling poster from September 1980, where Hogan is billed as 6'8, 320 lbs. During that period he was clearly bigger than during his famous Hulkamania days. However, seeing as they exaggerated his height they probably did the same with his weight.

Danimal,
I'm suprised you seem to often buy the wrestlers billed weights or actually think some heavy guys are underbilled weight-wise. Weight is alot more easy to lie about than height.
I think Gang was around 400 lbs but not much over.

I do. As the original One Man Gang (with LONG hair) BEFORE he went to the WWF in 1987, that man was well over 400 pounds. Around the same size as King Kong Bundy. He has since lost weight and is around 350-360 pounds NOW..

WOW, I'm impressed JT. You posted some NON-biased pics of Studd and Hogan. I believe that Studd was 6'7" legit and Hogan 6'6" (PRE-1990).

BTW, that Studd/Fralic pic is really interesting, I've never seen that before. They are insanely close in height and it makes me wonder. Is Fralic really 280lbs though? Studd is a monster compared to him! I think they billed Studd at 380
Studd was billed at 367 at WM2. By the time of the 1989 Royal Rumble, he was supposedly up to 405 pounds. I gave him a legit 380 pounds for a 6'7" man. He was BIG all around. 457 pound Akeem did not make Studd look small by any means.

Vegas, good point I gotcha. If you're friend ever gives you permission though I'm sure Rob would put it up.
Gollum, someone on here posted a pic a while back of Abyss with a 6'8" fan, Abyss was about 2" shorter maybe even 3". I couldn't believe it b/c I heard the 6'10" claims too (though I think TNA bills him at 6'8"). He is a bit shorter than Hoyt but it's not by much though, maybe an inch. I certainly don't think Hoyt is 6'9".
Rob, any chance Abyss can get his own page on here?

Vegas, you say Festas looks roughly 6'5? Have you ever met lance Hoyt? When I met him he seemed 6'6 and a little taller in boots but at the time they were saying he was 6'9? The funny thing was the people also was saying abyss was 6'10 and he was shorter than Hoyt, I'd say around 6'5 at best.

guys i don't ask rob to put that photo or my photos because
when you search a wrestler in google images now one of the first things that comes up is the celebheights photo, check it with undertaker and kane, frank is on the first page, alex pops up on page 2 when you google kurt angle
i don't think my friend would be too happy if he saw his photo in google and on website where he didn't give permission :)
photos are photos, look at liam neeson and glenn Click Here nobody can argue neeson is 6'4 but he looks 6ftish with glenn in the top photo, i have a photo where shaq is 4-5 inches taller than kobe, i posted one where lou ferrigno is 6-7 inches max shorter than kareem. The basketball listings and articles me and JT posted are worth a billion photos, if someone honestly believes that a paper would go out of their way to interview a 6'7 guy and then claim him to be the tallest basketballer in the teams history, then they are nuts. If the guy was listed at 7'1 in college he sure ain't under 6'10 and there is no denying that.
i would have no problem sending the articles to rob and he can post them at the top of the page for all to see

Again, the pic above is a terrible reference for Big Show's height. If I remember correctly, I think Vegas has a pic with a 6'4" friend of his with Big Show and Show towers over him while both are standing straight.

Criticizing pro wrestling for their billing of wrestlers is one thing, but INSULTING the good people who take time to provide us with their personal photos (Mike, Mamun etc) is just ridiculous, if Mike was 6'4'' he'd surely have said so.

Depends on how you would consider a giant. I personally think 6.8+ is giant if you take a tape measure and make it 80in being a 6' even person it looks enourmous to me. So i say to the average 5'10'' or 5'6'' man or women would think a 6'8'' 320lb person was a giant

Alex: I guess if you can't consider Nash or Kane giants, then you can't with John Studd either. Because John Studd was billed at 6' 10 , but wasn't he really only 6' 7 at best? Nash on the other hand, may very well be a legit 6' 10. So if anything, it seems like Nash would be considered a giant before Studd is. By the way, what about Ron Reis? He is billed at 7' 2, but only 380 lbs, not exactly in what the typical "giant" range for weight is.
I think I tend to go by height before anything else... which is why I kinda asked this question, because I realize I am a little inconsistent. But generally, I think if you're tall enough to be billed at 7' AND get away with it, then you're a giant... but yet, I don't consider Nash a giant... and Kane even though he is billed as 7', he isn't fooling anyone.

I wouldn't consider Nash and Kane giants. Just very big men. A giant I think is a combo of height/weight. Would you say Big John Studd was a real giant or just a big man?

topdweeb26 , I would base a Giant on both height and weight, just my opinion. Like Andre, Big Show, Giant Gonzalez, etc. Nash and 'Taker are really tall but not 400-500lbs where as Yoko wasn't that tall (for wrestling) but was weight up there in the weight department, just my opinion.
I don't think it'd be a bad idea for anyone who's submitting pictures of themselves with a celebrity at this site to also send in a picture of them measuring their height with a tape measurer that way we know for sure how tall they are.

Just curious, but what do you guys consider a "giant" in wrestling? Kevin Nash isn't considered a giant, just a really tall person. Do you base it on just height? If so, then it could be argued that Andre might not have been a giant. Is it a combination of height and weight? If so, then it might be argued that Giant Gonzalez isn't a giant (but no one would ever think that). I find it odd that Kevin Nash is taller than a lot of past "giants" but yet he isn't considered a giant himself. I remember once in the WCW, Big Show had a feud with Nash. And Big Show said, "you must be over 7 foot to be considered a giant".

JT, thats an old picture from 2000. I remember those days. Lowest Big Show can look there is 6'10-6'11. Big Show has over a head taller and we've estimated Big Shows head to be 11-12 inches.
Topdweeb, I agree. if Mike was 6'1.5, what does that make Vegas's friend? 6'0-6'0.5? It doesn't make sense really. I believe in with Vegas's friend we can see their entire bodies or close to it. Anyone could come on here claiming a shorter height to make a cerain person look shorter because they want them to.

Topdweeb, I agree. if Mike was 6'1.5, what does that make Vegas's friend? 6'0-6'0.5? It doesn't make sense really. I believe in with Vegas's friend we can see their entire bodies or close to it. Anyone could come on here claiming a shorter height to make a cerain person look shorter because they want them to.

Show is leaning slightly in that pic with Angle and could stand up a little taller I think and gain another inch or so. I'd say he's about 6'11.5".

nick: no way is Big Show 6' 10 in the pic above just the way it is. C'mon, you're stretching this big time and you know it. In that pic, Mike has an inch on Vegas' 6' 4 friend. It just doesn't add up. Think about it, if Mike is 6' 1.5 and he is that tall to Big Show, imagine how tall someone who is 6' 5 would be. That pic above is either a fake, Big Show really is only 6' 8, or Mike simply isn't being truthful.

I wonder if they are going to play down Khali's height during his fued with Big Show. On Raw, Lillian Garcia announced him as 'over seven feet tall', Jim Ross said 7'2", and Big Show was once again referred to as 'The Largest Athlete in the World'.

did everyone fail to see the pictures i posted? haha, scroll down to the middle of the page, the pic with mike i think is legit, The big show is leaning toward mike and leaning backward on his right foot deducting 1.5 to 2 inches, he is around 6'10 in the pic above just the way it is, check it out you will see the height difference especially when your viewing it far away, just remember mike is around 6'2 not 6 foot

Cobra: wouldn't surprise me. I find it highly suspicious that no one knew who Mike was. He came out of no where and submitted this photo, stuck around for like a day to answer questions, and then is never heard from again. Whoever he was, he insists Big Show was in sandals, they were on level ground, Show wasn't slouching, and he (Mike) wasn't standing on anything... and Mike is supposedly being truthful about his 6' 1.5" height... yeeeeah, right.

Rantsob: who knows, probably just whenever they decide to get measured. I mean, let's face it, when people typically get measured for things, they just happened to get measured where ever they are without concern about what time of the day it is. If I honestly wanted to say, I would say that if anything, heights are given with shoes/boots on, because that's how the wrestlers would be perceived when they are performing... could be wrong, maybe it varies, or maybe it is all barefooted.

Backlash is coming Sunday(27 April), not last night. But to reassure you, Big Show already beat Khali at a houseshow and that's often a good indication of what the outcome at the PPV will be.

The Big Show picture above is a horrible picture to judge his true height. Big Show is leaning back for goodness sake and is losing a couple inches. If Show were to stand straight in the above pic he would be a couple inches taller; that guy Mike looks like he's leaning too.

Because that's what the WWE was billing him and I'm sure Vince MADE him stick to script. Big Show also mentioned he was around 7'1" on Conan in the last 1998.

I'm getting really sick and tired of having to explain that picture above. Heck, we don't even really know who "mike" is and he just disappeared quickly after this photo was posted. Why the FREAK is this pic up there and not one from Vega's 6' 4 friend? Vegas is a regular here who could have answered any questions that may have come about. I guess I should just find some picture of someone with the Big Show, claim that person is whatever size I want to make the Big Show appear to be whatever.

Andre looked 6'9 tops in the early 90's. Probably bad posture was why.
Alex, did you see the footage of Andre and 6'8" (minimum) MAN in 1990, where Andre had about 2" on him. This was in 1990 Alex. Andre still stood a proud 6'10" at that time. He may have been a fraction under (6'9.5-6'9 3/4") at the time of his death though, where he grew even more crippled. I still say 7'0" at his peak (1970's).
BTW Alex, I measured myself first thing in the morning at 176.5cm (5'9.5") yesterday morning and when I went to bed very late last night (after a long night of partying), I went down to 174cm (5'8.5). There's the tale of the tape!

Acromegaly or 'gigantism' dose'nt specifically affect height Derek, but it surely could of cost Andre 3'' of height, 6'11' peak looks more accurate.

I agree with Danimal. Andre was supposedly measured at 6'9" by the coroner when he died. He was also supposedly 6'10" when he fought Hogan in 1987. That sounds reasonable to me. The man had giantism, so he had to be bare minimum 7'0" at peak.
That last statement of yours is flawed. When you have gigantism, it doesn't automatically mean you'll be 7 feet or taller. Ted Cassidy for instance also had gigantism, and he was 'only' 6'9.

Jeff, Andre was around 6'10" in 1990, next to a 6'8" Mane. Most who have been on here long enough have seen the footage. NOW, this was a broken down Andre, who was morbidly obese and hunched in the neck/back, with buckled knees, who was 2 years away from his own deathbead, YET, that fool Meltzer claims that Andre was even less then that height at this peak, which was 20 years earlier?? Sorry, but no.

Big Show: well I was saying it was a squash, because Big Show knocked him out with one punch... that doesn't really set up for a very competitive match up when they do stuff like that. But you said Khali did the same, so I guess they're even. Either way, I kinda expect it to be somewhat of a squash. Because I have a feeling this will be a pretty short match because it will suck. Big Show is awesome, especially for his size, but he isn't the type to make someone look better than they are.

JT, you make an interesting point that I didn't notice, is one of Show's shoes bigger than the other? B/c that could explain a lot. Is there a post you had pointing that out with pics? I dont see it
This is from the second stare down Click Here The resolution of the video is limited but there looks to be a clear difference in heel height between the left and right boots. Big Show has no weight on his right heel in the middle pic, so there's no possibility that the heel is "sinking" into the mat (which does not really occur with quality rings anyway). The heel height on the right boot from this second stare down was definitely smaller than the heel on the left boot during their first stare down, yet Big Show did not look any shorter in the second stare down. Since Khali is so uncoordinated, I doubt he was wearing lifts/big heeled boots in the first stare down.

KingNick,
I'd have to disagree, respectfully. Everyone, including Dave, can be wrong (and he's made mistakes, just like any other analyst or journalist in any business). But he had told me, maybe 5 or so years ago, that Andre was between 6'8" and 6'10" and he reconfirms it again. I e-mailed him the photo but either his email blocked it or he didn't read the picture (he probably had no idea he was quoted on the pic). His opinion does carry a lot of weight and I'd tend to believe him.
KingNick,
I'd have to disagree, respectfully. Everyone, including Dave, can be wrong (and he's made mistakes, just like any other analyst or journalist in any business). But he had told me, maybe 5 or so years ago, that Andre was between 6'8" and 6'10" and he reconfirms it again. I e-mailed him the photo but either his email blocked it or he didn't read the picture (he probably had no idea he was quoted on the pic). His opinion does carry a lot of weight and I'd tend to believe him.

JT, you make an interesting point that I didn't notice, is one of Show's shoes bigger than the other? B/c that could explain a lot. Is there a post you had pointing that out with pics? I dont see it

Big Show: Ok, yeah, I see what you mean. I think if the match does happen at Backlash, expect to basically see Khali get squashed and have him disappear for a month due to embarrassment or something like that.
MK: Ironically it may have hurt Khali's 7' 3 status, but it has certainly helped the Big Show with his 7' status. Up until now, some people could have claimed that Khali had an appreciable amount of height over Show, but not anymore. If Khali is a legit 7' 1, then there is absolutely no way Big Show is less than 7'. Heck, if Khali is 7' 1, then there is a good chance that Big Show might even be 7' .5" or something.
Danimal: you're right that Wilt didn't dwarf Andre, so yeah, Khali wouldn't have either. By the way, I know what I said to that guy was harsh, but I just think it's dumb that people come on here, claim to be 7', and if you notice, they almost always claim to have met the Big Show and edged him out in height. And then they never offer proof and they just tend to disappear without a trace.

The entire Big Show/Khali storyline has been ridiculous in my opinion, and has only diminished even further the career of the 'great' Khali who seems to have barely even 0.25'' on a man billed 3'' below him. Its cleary obvious his popularity in his home country has kept this shambolic character in the wwe. Why not BDV or even Mark Henry, who strugle to make the card on any ppv nowadays, yet have put more time and effort into the company.

Big Show: I don't know what you mean by it doesn't make sense. It makes perfect sense to me, that it is essentially a match of who the true giant is. But, I do gotta admit that that last segment did suck. By the way, maybe the WWE tells Big Show to slouch on purpose around Khali. I mean, after all, they do bill Khali 3 inches taller.
I think the entire angle is rushed. Khali got in Big Show's face on RAW, Big Show got in Khali's face on Smackdown, so they were even on that part. There was no reason for Big Show to deck Khali with a right hand after Khali offered a truce, especially since Big Show is being the face here. It would've make more sence if Khali offered Big Show a truce and than attacked him from behind to give him more heel heat. I think a match between the two biggest athletes in the WWE today could've been dealt with better. It's obviously just a timefiller for Big Show who's bound to turn heel again and fued with the Undertaker. Seeing as the Undertaker is still involved with Edge at least until Backlash, their match has been postponed until later this year.
We don't need to expect a 3-star match as far as wrestling is concerned between Big Show and Khali, so a good storyline behind there match would help a great deal to make this work. But that's just my opinion.
Apparently their match is at Backlash, unless below article is correct which says that Khali has to go back to India in April for a month (which means no Backlash).

Btw, JT good work with that photoshop adjustment of Big Show.

KingNick, i sent Dave your post about Andre's height and even included the picture with his own comments inset. Here's what he had to say (and if you don't believe me, feel free to ask Dave yourself):
"Andre was 6-9 3/4 when he was measured in Europe (208 centimeters). He
was probably 6-8 or 6-9 later in life. He was shorter than the 6-9
Nitron when they wrestled in Japan later in life"
Thats real funny because we've all seen who was taller between Andre and Nitron aka Tyler Mane. Dave M. ist so full of it!

The tallest person here to show proof of his height was this poster Petter who was a legit 6'7-6'7.5.
Big Show will almost never come across people his height or taller. Only Khali, Ron Reis and if he ever came across any tall centers in the NBA would be it.

Look closer at Big Show's feet versus Khali's feet in the 3 pictures posted by "Big Show". Big Show is standing a little higher up from the bottom of the screen, which gives an illusion that he is taller than previous staredowns.
The same thing happened in Khali's favor when they first faced off 2 weeks ago and people said Khali looked 2-3 inches taller.

I was surprised to meet Big Show in person, and he's not really 7'0", I stand 7'0" in gym shoes he stands 7'0" in platform boots. Big Show is 6'11 1/2" at the most, Triple H is not really 6'4", my sister stood next to triple h and she is 6'3" and she had HHH by an inch. Both were wearing gym shoes.

Here are some new staredowns of Khali and Big Show from Smackdown 4/11/2008. Big Show's posture during the whole segment was terrible, it's like he cannot stand straight anymore. Btw. the whole segment was terrible aswell. Some people on here complained about the whole Big Show/Mayweather angle, but that went along a lot better than this crap. During the whole segment the crowd was dead and the whole angle makes no sense and feels a bit rushed if you ask me.

Ron Reis (Yeti) was about 2 inches taller than Show even at show's peak! If show hasn't lost any height since 1995 then Yeti and Khali are comparible but 7'2 for Yeti, 7'1 for Khali and 7'0.5 for Show's peak height seems about right.
Today Show is about 6'11.5 or maybe 7'0 flat is the maximum.
Watch this video, the 2nd half of it shows a good comparison.

topdweeb26 , the only reason I'm on the fence with Show is b/c of his boots. Look at these photos: Click Here look at number 6, when he's squaring off against Mayweather. Those are thick, man. That has to give him at least an 1.5" boost if not 2".
Now look at Khali's shoes: Click Here look at pic 31. There's barely an inch in those things IMO.
So think about it. If Show is 6'11" and his shoes give him 1.5" boost that would make him 7'1.5" If Khali is 7'1" his boots would make him MAX 7'2". Something is not just right here. MAYBE it's Show's posture. But there's no less than an inch difference between the two. It's weird. What I'm saying is I don't friggin' know.
I don't see Show less than 6'11" either unless Khali really is 7'2". But Show does have thicker boots than him whether people here want to accept it wrong. If someone can find a better photo of Khali's shoes showing they're thicker I'll stand corrected.

These smackdown photos, especially this one , make me feel A LOT better about Big Show's height. The dude is so big he can't really stand up straight. That photo is as close as he gets and he's not far off from Khali who's standing as straight as an arrow. I'm going to go back to 6'11" for Show though, just for right now, and Khali at 7'1". "
Now, I know you're just trying to be conservative, but COME ON. It's like everyone on here is so afraid of giving Show a solid 7'. Everyone seems to be capping him off at 6' 11 and Khali at 7' 1. Even when there are photos of the two that show that there is no more than an inch, it almost seems like it is a knee jerk reaction to simply give Show 6' 11. Now, KingNick, you cannot tell me there is a 2 inch difference in that photo, you yourself say it is very close. I have said before with comparisons of the two, and I'll say it again, I am not even seeing an inch. I know LV is with me on this. It's like we're the only ones who aren't blind or something. I'll admit, when I see Khali and Show on TV, I initially think Khali ha a couple inches on Show. But mainly due to Khali's higher chin level. Once we get the pics of their stare down, the difference always seems a lot less to me than it does when they were on TV. I'm sure tomorrow's stare down will be no different. At first I will think Khali is at least 2 inches taller, but then when we post the pics on here, it won't look nearly that big of a difference.

Big Show i agree it could be a bad angle but my point was Ola remarks are right when looking at the picture aboove I never agree was Ola says to be honest but i cant disagree when it come to this picture
Don't encourage him Frank. He's also claiming Andre was never over 6'8" and Hogan was never over 6'3". Again, Ola = Troll.

Other than Khali, has anyone seen any Big Show photos with someone actually edging him out in height? I can't recall any that I've seen.
Yes, the 7'2" Yetti in the WCW days. But even then, the 7'2" Yetti was BARELY taller than Big Show. He may have had .5"-1" on Big Show AT MOST.

Big Show isn't even standing up straight. Besides I have a pic where I look as tall as my 6'5 brother Derek and I am 6'2. these type of Pics can often come from bad angles.

Guys i hate to say it but i agree with Ola Show does not look 7ft with Mike in the picture above and Rob do you agree with that ?? Maybe its a bad angle ?
Frank, I think everyone would agree that Big Show only looks 6'9 tops in above pic if Mike is really 6'1.5. But you can take the above pic with the same grain of salt as Greg's pic with Hogan. Both have posted a pic, made a few remarks about it and then vanished in thin air. If Mike is really 6'1.5 he would be around the same height as Vince and Shane McMahon. Now have you ever seen a pic where they match up as well to the Big Show as Mike does. I don't think so. Either Mike is lyin' about his height or he's standing on his toes or something. But above pic can be regarded as a fluke as far as I'm concerned.

I think the Mike photo is deceiving because, not unlike Andre, Show's height is mostly in his head. DON'T look at the eye or shoulder level, look at the top of the picture. Show's head isn't too far from the top of the pic. Then look how far down Mike's head is. Plus Mike is leaning in a bit and I remember reading him on here saying here that Show was in sandals. At first glimpse though, Show does not look 7' in that pic. I give him 6'11" and I'm willing to lean towards the possibility of 6'10.5" now. At one point he may have been a full 7'.

Click Here i straightend the big show in the above photo, here are some things to look at when viewing this picture
1. He is definetly leaning in, however, i believe that he is also dropping back leaning on his right leg, thats why when you look at his left leg it is clearly set in front of his right, people do this all the time if you stand straight you put one foot mack and stoop down a little bit.
2. Scince the photo is so large on this page you really arent seeing the major height difference, in my picture it is smaller so you will be shocked on how much taller he looks.
3. REMEMBER Mike is nearly 6'2**, not 6 foot, everyone wants the big show to be 1 foot taller than mike with the lean he has but that would only make him 7'3.
4. Mike is slightly looking up in the picture(you can see under his chin) And the big show is looking down, if he were to put his chin up it would look different.
1st photo is the original you can see now the big show from a distance it looks like he is leaning to the side as well as leaning backward loosing a nice amount of height, in The straightened photo you can see kind of how he would look with nice posture and if you graze your eyes across the two picks it kind of simulates him standing taller. The last photo shows the big show as a 6'6 guy. Now you can see how large his head is and how it makes him appear shorter. and in the backround of the 6'6 show you see how much he would get towered by his real stature.

I still don't think Mike is being completely truthful about the above photo. Because he would edge out Vegas' 6' 4 friend in height, who also happened to have his picture taken with the Big Show, and in that picture, Big Show looks every bit 7' 0.

Topdweeb, I think if Big Show and Khali were together barefoot you'd get just an inch difference. Its also that Big Show's head is longer and Khali's chin comes higher it can give you an impression that Khali is at least 2 inches taller while hes not."
Yeah I agree, I don't see Khali being any more than an inch taller than the Big Show. And that's what I've been saying, and agree with you obviously. Khali gives the illusion of being taller than Show by a few inches because of his higher features.. I don't know if he is purposely carrying his shoulders so high and his chin so high while Show has a more casual stance or what. Khali is practically arching backwards a lot of times.

There is no way Big Show is the same height as Khali. I can see the gap shortening between them with post, Big Show will probably be labeled taller here soon because of lifts, camera angle, not standing straight, etc.
Khali is 1.5" taller. If they were barefoot the difference would be more pronounced. As for Big Show not standing straight, I don't see that... he is looking up at Khali, he will be stretched high as he can go. I'd put Big Show at 7', and Khali at 7'1.5" or closer to 7'2". I see it as a common trend to underestimate heights for wrestlers on this site. And 1" difference is going to look difference to scale with two giant men like this, it will look like a lesser difference.

the way i feel is that if you take khali's hair away and big show stood as straight as khali, they would easily be the same height, i say this looking at KingNicks' photo and a past photo when big show had his fist clenched on raw. It's the illusion of khali looking taller cuz of his eye height in comparison to show's. Also just the fact that big show NEVER stands as straight as khali.

Khali has much better posture than Wight. Khali stands almost ridiculously erect (his head & neck almost arching back). If he would keep his head straight, I reckon he has no more than an inch on Wight.

If anything, I think this time (Smakcdown) Khali looked taller to show. Looked more like a 2 inch difference.
Apparently Big Show had alot bigger boots the first time they met during Khali's angle with Taker.
I think these might be their heights today: Big Show 6'11, Khali 7'05.

Big Show, I fully agree that Big Show has gained weight. I just watched his SD! debut against Rey Mysterio from February 22nd and he was CLEARLY thinner.
That means after just 6 or 7 weeks back in wrestling he is going up the scale again...

And yes, A LOT of wrestlers wear lifts. But outside of the ring? Andre wore cowboy boots a lot but I seriously doubt he, or any other wrestlers, took the time to put lifts in their shoes when they go out in public. And him sitting down? The dude was 500 pounds plus! If you were that big, you would be sitting down too! That's like a super paranoid conspiracy theory, I'm sorry. I respect everyone's opinion's on here, but I get protective of Andre when anyone says anything below 6'10" for him. I have too much respect for him, he's done too much for the business.
These smackdown photos, especially this one Click Here , make me feel A LOT better about Big Show's height. The dude is so big he can't really stand up straight. That photo is as close as he gets and he's not far off from Khali who's standing as straight as an arrow. I'm going to go back to 6'11" for Show though, just for right now, and Khali at 7'1".

Big Show was about 1 inch shorter than Khali again, this time on Smackdown.
One thing I noticed about the Raw clip, which I don't think anyone else pointed out before is that Big Show's footing was positioned closer to the bottom of the screen than Khali when they first faced off and people said it looks like at least 2 inches difference. Then, Big Show clenched his fist and their feet were closer together and it looked like 1 inch difference max.
When their foot placement is even (a straight line across each other's feet), the difference is only 1 inch. Big Show 7'0", Khali 7'1".

Topdweeb, I think if Big Show and Khali were together barefoot you'd get just an inch difference. Its also that Big Show's head is longer and Khali's chin comes higher it can give you an impression that Khali is at least 2 inches taller while hes not.

I see a little footwear advantage for Big Show, about 0.5" and Khali is not a full inch taller if Big Show stands straight. I think Big Show is max 7

I think Vince could have been 6'2 one day, but has probably shrunk to 6'1 now.

Actually, after paying more attention, I gotta take that back and admit that once again, I speak too soon. Khali does still seem to slightly edge him out. But, I still stand by their footwear looks the same. In other words, doesn't look like Big Show has a footwear advantage at all. So I think the real difference between Khali vs. Big Show is ~ 1".

Guys, I am re-watching the confrontation between Show and Khali from Smackdown. Is it just me, or does Big Show actually appear to slightly edge out Khali in height this time?? And we have a full body shot this time, and I am looking at Show's boots to see if maybe he is wearing even thicker soles, and honestly, they don't look any bigger than Khali's boots... maybe Big Show is standing at his max height??

nope. dont you guys remember that you look taller when your looking up. and bigshows boots were bigger.
his knees dont look so bad so i doubt he had any injury on his legs(yet) and he doesnt look like he lost height yet.
khali would be like 7'0.5 or 7'1. so bigshow would be like 6'11. show doesnt look like he lost any height, he would be slouching more if he did, or his knees would be misshaped

I don't see Big Show any less than 6'10 1/2 today and I still belive he's a solid 6'11 but he does look an inch or 2 shorter than he was back in his WCW days which I personally feel he was around 7'0 1/2 at that time. If anyone saw the stair down between Show and Kahli tonight on Smackdown, Kahli looked to have about a half inch to an inch on Show but Show's posture looked better tonight than it did on Raw or maybe I'm just seeing things.

Hey Guys,
Just saw smackdown and i made an observation. Big Show was wearing his normal wrestling shoes on smackdown and not the quite chunky ones on RAW. The Khali had more of an advantage on Smack Down than on RAW. The height difference depending on which angle would range from less than an inch to 2 inches. I do believe that because of his previous weight, The big show would shrink a little. Nowadays, i'd say Big show is 6'11.5'' and Khali at 7'1''. I believe these heights are the two giants true heights.
P.S I believe that Big show in his WCW days would have been the same height as Khali.

If Big Show stood straighter?? The video quality is not great, but the sole thickness looked fairly close this time. Click Here You can still make out the sole from the leather portion of the boot. I think Big Show wears a little thicker heel on his left boot possibly to compensate for a leg length discrepancy, which is more common than you would think. When Big Show turns around at the end on Smackdown, the left heel looked pretty large like the one he wore on RAW this past Monday.

This goes for Show and every other wrestler and some actors, as well: They may wear lifts on camera. Jericho clearly was wearing lifts on RAW a few weeks back when he wrestled Show. Andre the Giant, who Dave Meltzer has gone on record and stated he was between 6'8" and 6'10", wore lifts on and off television, even at airports. Why? They were trying to sell the guy as the largest athlete, and they knew some basketball players, like kaarem would have some height on him. I could recall incorrectly, but I believe Andre would usually sit down while at airports because 1) he was tired and breaking down and 2) to kayfabe his height. The point is it's not always easy to judge these things. How can you be 100% sure some of these guys are not wearing lifts outside of the squared circle?

Click Here at 2:34 the big show is slightly on one foot however i believe this would be his max height if he were to stand totally straight. 2:34 is a good indicator of how they stack up to one another. slightly under an inch difference.

Big Show and Andre are the biggest wrestler's of all time,not the tallest Gonzalaz was 6'' taller than them,not the heveist Haystacks was 150lbs + more but both height and weight you can not take anything away from them,anything less than 7' peak for both of them is just wrong.

Here are two pics from last night's face/off between Show & Khali. In the full body shot it's clearly noticable that Show is not standing as straight as Khali. Khali looks an inch taller there, but would Big Show stand straight, I'm reckoning he would be as tall as Khali there. As for footwear, Big Show's footwear does not look considerable larger.
Btw, is it me or is Big Show starting to gain weight again?

Click Here pause at the 5min mark. First off the "Show's going to kill you!" chant is hysterical. Second, Big Show stands straight here and they're a little closer in height. Still, I gotta be honest, Show has very big boots in this segment. It makes me wonder.

I agree with Danimal on this one. Though obviously not as severe as Andre, the acromegalic effects seem to have been taking there toll on Show these past 6 or so years, i think regardless of his recent weight loss and stricter training this could be the begining of the end for his wrestlig career, i'd give him 6-8 years at most (if injury free of course)

Click Here 1:10 i believe if the big show had this posture agaist khali it would be just under inch difference. I wonder how tall floyde is on the chair he is standing on, chairs give anywhere from 17 to 20 inches, if its 17 he would be around 7'1 if its 20 he would be 7'4 Click Here at 3:47 theres a look at the chair, it looks like a wooden chair, it isnt a steel chair which are only 17 inches high. Wooden chairs are usually 18+ inches so that would put floyd at 7'2 minimum when he is standing on the chair.
In that video at 8:42 he stands on the chair he definatly is stepping up pretty high between 18 and 19 inches. At 8:54 you can see how extreme camera angles can make someone look shorter but soon as the camera gets in their faces its 3 inch difference. Also at 9:10 the big show apears tall as or taller than mayweather another example of how exstreme angles can make people look taller. But at that shot you can really see how high mayweather is elevated it looks like two feet but its about 18 to 20 inches which puts him between 7'2min to 7'4max, this throws all of the 6'8 to 6'10s out the window. Show is 6'11.5 to 7 foot today and once was 7.05 to 7'1. The reason why they dont say 7'1 7'2 is because i think they wanted that 7 foot 500 pounds to roll off easier. just look at 9:10 and you will see how large he really is. In the video i say mayweather is elevated to 7'3 making the big show 7 foot

Khali is not under 7'0 that's certain, and a mid 90's show is at best an inch taller than he is now definitely not 2 inches, it must be his weight gain and poor posture making him look shorter, if show is 6'11 then hulk hogan is only 6'3 at best now so i think show is 7'0 and Khali a shade over 7'1.
Back in the 90's Ron Reis was a legit 7'2 and he had an inch and half on show so show was probably 7'0.5 at his peak and maybe Khali was 7'2 at his peak.

I think after Monday Raw it is clear that Khali has more than an inch on Show and if Show is 7' Khali is close to 7'2. Again I'm not so sure Big Show was really taller than prime Andre.

I initially said Khali was at least 2 inches taller than Big Show, but after I reviewed the pics comparing the two, I recanted what I said. Take a look at the last pic JT posted of Big Show and Khali. How in the world are you going to say
that is well over an inch? I'm having a hard enough time believing that is even a solid inch, let alone, "well over an inch".
----------------------------------------------------
It is atleast a full inch, and you forget Big show's shoes are thicker than Khalis. The only time in the video where show appears less than 1 inch is when the camera angle is in his favour.
They're both giants, whether or not Khali is 1 inch, 2 inch or 5 inches taller - If you have trouble seeing atleast an inch based on one picture then that's quite a silly assumption to make. Whatever makes you sleep better at night I suppose, and I cant be bothered to argue furher about something that is blantantly obvious.

Alex you are saying what I am saying,I said he has put on 100 lbs which meens he is not has lean as he was 12 years ago and no hair,which makes him look shorter,also hes lost height cos he's posture's gone,that's the way you start to loose height,in the end it go's completly.It's not uncomon for giant's to loose 6''+ in height'the spine cerves.
