Also the picture with 6'6-6'6.6 Dennis Rodman makes Big Show look at least 6'11 and thats with a measured athlete too. Maybe Mike is taller than 6'1.5 or something?
But like Big Show the poster said we've seen him look taller next to other guys 6'1-6'2.

He looks about 6'10 (208cm) in the pic above. Maybe 6'10.5 (209cm) but not taller.

In the pic above Show only looks 6'9 Tops. But we've seen countless pics of Big Show next to other people where he looks much taller next to people of 6'1 or 6'2.

What a big head big show has. Based on this photo I would put big show at 6ft 9. Must consider his head is 2 inches bigger than normal 6ft men.

I have a genuine 7ft friend, i'm a little shy of Mikes height who is 187cm and there is a much bigger gap between myself and my friend than between Mike and Bigshow. Maybe Bigshow is a guy around 6'10 who can easily get away with the 7ft listing, due to being that much bigger than everyone else. It's not as easy as sniffing out a 5'10 guy claiming to be 6ft, either way he's huge.

imo if that guy is only 6'1" show imo doesn,t look a foot taller more like 9-10 inches imo,so i,d give show 6'11" tops.

Doesn't appear 213 cm here. He is roughly a little over half a head taller than the 187 cm guy next to him in the. A normal head is about 20 - 24 cm ?
His head looks pretty big, let's assume it's 25 cm max...he would be about 15 cm taller than the 187 cm guy. That would make him 202 cm, 205 max.
This picture would look like a 180 cm guy next to me (194 cm)

Vegas: heck if 7' 2 was his listed height when he was arrested, then he probably really was a legit 7' 1 in bare feet back then.

HBK isn't 6'0 though. He's about 5'11 really.
I've seen Big Show and Nash look a bit closer in height before than in those pics. Really no more than 2 inches between the 2.

The slimmer you are the taller you appear. When you look at pics of Andre the Giant from the late 60's he appears taller than in the pics from the mid 70's when he gained over a 100 lbs in weight. But looks can be deceiving as Andre was obviously still the same height (maybe 0.5 inch difference Tops!). For Big Show it's the same, he indeed looks taller in his WCW days but I think looks are deceiving. He looked the same height next to Nash in 2002 as he did in 1997, so apparently he hasn't lost any height and if he did it's not that much. In 2006 he looked taller next to Kane than he ever did before (mostly because Kane stopped wearing those huge lifts which made him nearly the same height as Big Show in 1999).

Big Show simply looked gigantic back in WCW... he obviously either lost some height, or perhaps he just really looks that tall when he is at a "normal" weight and can stand straight. I would have loved to have seen that version of the Big Show stand face to face with Khali.

Here's a rare vid of Big Show when he was still the Giant in WCW and part of the Dungeon of Doom. The Taskmasker takes on the young rookie Damon Striker, whom you all know better as Edge.

I agree Topdweeb, but only by a little. Andre was no less than 6'11 at his peak I am almost sure of. Big Show was at least 7'0.

When exactly did Andre ever face off against Scott Schwartz. I have a very extensive list with all of Andre's matches from 1969 til 1992. And if Scott L. Schwartz is a legitimate 6'10 barefoot, why was he billed as 6'9 when he wrestled as Giant David?

Very informative Aaron. Just so you know, most people on here won't really appreciate what you just contributed. Most people on here don't really care about Andre. All they do care is on lowering his height as much as possible. I do really appreciate what you have had to say though. I personally don't think Andre was 7'2" at his peak (perhaps with shoes on) and probably 7'0.5" in 1980 (again with shoes on)..

listen I met Big show when he began his career with the WWE when he weighed maybe 50 - 60lbs lighter and at his max out weight now a days (which I heard online on serval inside scoop websites that it was 520lbs and his weight was a reason to reatire becasue of his back!!!!!) When you have emance pain in your back and your over weight it' hard to stand straight all the time. But, Big Show was 7'1'' when I met him with wrestling boots on and about 7' when I met him years kater with boots on.

You tried to say that Big Show didn't tower over the Undertaker early on. I'm saying that he did, regardless of whether or not the difference was less than it was in recent years.

Scott Schwartz,( the tall bald guy from Oceans 11, who was a professional wrestler for years, and is a LEGITAMATE 6'10" barefoot, told me in person at a trade show that Andre the giant was about a half inch over 7 feet when he wrestled him in Montreal in 1980, he had to duck through a 7 foot doorway in the lockeroom, while barefoot. Scott's trainer was Killer Kowalski, whom i also got a chance to speak to at this show, and in his youth was a legit 6'7"( he stands about 6'6" now, and Kowalski said Andre used to be a legit 7'2", but as he got fatter, his spine started to compress and his posture was effected. I asked Scott about Big Show, and he said Show is by his estimate about 7'1.5", standing next to him, but he's never seen him barefoot before in person, so he can't make a completely accurate judgement. He also said that Hogan wore lifts in his shoes for years( including his matches with and against Andre, because Hogan had a complex about trying to be as big as Andre ) and Hogan was at least a legitimate 6'5". I met hogan recently at a strip club in Clearwater, FL, and he slouches and walks like an old man now because of his artificial hip, and he was still a legitimate 6'4", slouched over, and he was wearing flip-flops at the time, wearas i was wearing dress shoes with a heel, and i stand 6'2.5", so i can guage his height pretty well.
We all know That Andre was 6'10" at the end of his career, because of having several vertebrae fused together in a surgery before wrestlemania 3. The anethesiologist who performed in that surgery is famous for coming up with the formula for extrapolating the amount of needed anethesia, because they had no idea how much to give andre for his surgery. I want you guys to read this webpage, its about Andre's drinking exploits.

In my opinion to be towering over someone you have to be at least 4-5 inches taller. Most people who are 5 inches taller than someone will be able to see over the top of the person's head. 2-3 inches is a fair difference. 1 inch or less is a small difference.
Like when I consider myself to tower over someone 5'7-5'8 but 5'9-5'10, just a fair amount taller. Everyone thinks different though.
What kills me is when people say you're almost as tall as him while you're 6-7 inches shorter! sorry but thats just stupid.

Back in 1999 in one of WWF magazines there was a height chart with Big Show, Kane, Viscera and Bob Holly on it. Big Show was just above that 7 foot mark, while Kane was IIRC 7 feet flat or just below it. But yes topdweeb, it's ridiculous how they've handled Big Show's size over the years. Even when he tagged with Kane, they still billed Kane and Big Show at 7 feet, while Big Show was clearly 4 or 5 inches taller than Kane. And Khali was only about an inch taller than Big Show, yet WWE wants us to believe it's 3 inches. WWE is never really consistant with their height listings. Certain wrestlers get billed at their real heights while others get exaggerated, making it look inconsistant sometimes.''

Not the only reason. Taker WAS taller before 2001. Taller and heavier. I believe he lost the weight due to some injury and operation that SHRUNK him.

Man that's just beautiful. They have Kane and the Undertaker both at 7', and Big Show looks to be slightly over 7', like maybe 7' 1 or 7' 2 in that poster. And since they started saying Big Show is 7', then that makes it seem like he isn't any taller than Kane or the Undertaker, when Big Show towers them just about as much as Khali does.

Big Show, exactly. If he's billed at 7'2 he still said he was really 7'0 on tv shows more than once. Might as well just say 7'2 if he wanted to.

Actually on Big Show's very first RAW appearance, Michael Cole said he was 7' 1. Later one, they started saying he was 7' 2, and then all of a sudden out of nowhere, they were referring to him as just 7' flat... which I never did quite understand because he was much taller than Kane, but yet they kept saying Kane was 7'. To make matters worse, WWE magazine a few months ago, released a poster of all the wrestlers from tallest to shorts. I forgot who was the shortest but tallest was Giant Gonzalez at 8' (billed heights of course), Andre at 7' 4, Khali at 7' 3, and then Big Show, Kane, Kurgan, and a whole host of others at 7'. What kinda gets one my nerves is that since they are honest about Show's height, and exaggerate everyone else, on that poster it really watered down how big the Big Show is. Made it seem like 7' wasn't uncommon or something.
Actually on Big Show's very first RAW appearance, Michael Cole said he was 7' 1. Later one, they started saying he was 7' 2, and then all of a sudden out of nowhere, they were referring to him as just 7' flat... which I never did quite understand because he was much taller than Kane, but yet they kept saying Kane was 7'.

Dennis Rodman once said on the Jay Leno show that Big Show was 7'2 (this was when he and hogan feuded with Luger and the Giant). In 2000 Big Show stated that he was 7'1, even though he was billed at 7'2 at that time, so if he was going to exagerate his own height, why not just say he's 7'2 instead of 7'1. What difference is that 1 inch going to make.
However, the reason I believe Big Show to never have been taller than a flat 7 foot it that when Big Show debuted in the WWF, they billed him as 7', so I seriously doubt he would be taller than that. No way would Vince bill a 7'1 Giant at 7' unless he was only going to use him as a jobber, which was hardly the case with Big Show as he already got the heavyweight title belt in his rookie year. So they had big plans for Big Show from the get-go, so no way would Vince bill him below his actual height. I'm surprised they never exagerated his height the way WCW did. If WCW could get away with a 7'4 billing, they could've billed him at 7'3 or 7'2 (which they billed him at later on) from the beginning on, 'til the day he left.

So Luger said he was 7'1 while being billed at 7'4.
I'm not sure if Big Show was ever over 7'0. Def a legit 7'0 but now I think he may be more 6'11, that or his posture makes it appear that way.

Not only that, but once Lex Luger said on live TV on a Monday Nitro episode that the Big Show is 7' 1 when they were both in WCW, and that was when "the Giant" was really over in WCW and was promoted as being 7' 4.

I think big shows 7'1" lsiting in college is legit...and the reason I say that is becasue they amke such a big deal about it, if they go out of there way in the article saying hwo huge this gusy is and that he is 7'1" etc. noramlly its legit.
when a 6'10" guy is listed at 7' noramly youll jsut see the listing on the roster....though I will agree with jason that big show is not as tall as he use to be.

Guys, my only point is it doesn't prove it beyond any doubt. I'll happily concede your estimates of JBL's height look most likely to be correct to the neutral observer, and these new pics are some very nice icing on your cake ... but prove it as fact it does not.

Vegas, I totally agree with you. If Jason and Viper want to argue that JBL has some type of lifts in his boots that give him an additional 4" or so (I'm compensating for what it would take to be that much taller than Coach, since Coach isn't barefooted) then the burden of proof is on them, not you or me or anyone else, to prove that they were or weren't in lifts.
And there's no way Big Show would be listed as 7' 1 at WSU if he was only somewhere around 6' 7-6' 11 (though he might be 6' 11 now)... not even a measurement in shoes could do that.
Jason: as Vegas has shown, those boots only give Show 1.5" extra, which isn't that uncommon even for street shoes. And even less when you consider that every day people getting autographs, or fans at the shows, etc, aren't in barefeet. They too are wearing shoes which give people usually anywhere from .5" to 2" of height also. So that 1.5" isn't really saying much. You act as if he is wearing boots with 1.5" soles while the rest of the world is in their socks or something.
Also he looks like he is in his wrestling attire, so this might have been at a house show or an event, which would explain why he's dressed like that. I mean, c'mon, you can tell he's in his wrestling attire. What do you expect him to be in, his wrestling outfit and then a pair of Nike's or something? Get real.
On top of all of this, Vegas had his 6' 4 friend's picture taken with Big Show. Show was clearly about 8" taller than his friend. Vegas knows how tall his friend is, and Show was in normal clothes. That there should end this debate and, in fact, makes the entire idea of Show only being 6' 7 to 6' 9 laughable.

Vegas, I also think the front of the shoe matters to and how high its raise. But mostly whatever heel you got its going to give you about that in height from your barefoot height. When I wear 1 inch sneakers I am pretty much an inch or just under that more taller.

no slightly less, a 1.25" sole would give just over 1". Average cowboy boots have 2" heels but give 1.8" height boost.

I get confused on this sometimes. So a 1.25 inch sole will give you 1.25 inches to your height then or just under that? Same with a 1.5 inch heel, will that give you 1.5 inches to your height?

Jason how come Wight got listed at 7'1 in basketball and how come the newspapers at the time have quotes from 1990-92 like:
"Paul Wight, the biggest player in Wichita State basketball history, is transferring to Southern Illinois-Edwardsville. The 7-foot-1, 320-pound Wight, who played in 22 games for the Shockers last season"
"Ron Smith, Greg Dreiling, Paul Wight. Didn't take long to rattle off that list of Wichita State's 7-foot basketball players, huh? Yep, WSU's history with 7-foot players is very pamphlet-like"
"SHOCKERS LAND A BIG ONE JUNIOR-COLLEGE RECRUIT IS 7-1, 332 POUNDS
Paul Wight, a 7-foot-1, 332-pound center from Northern Oklahoma College, has made an oral commitment to attend Wichita State next year and play for the Shocker basketball team"
you picked 3 guys (JBL, Morgan, Wight) each with legit sporting backgrounds, each with previous sporting listings that are easy to find. Even if i never met Wight, i still wouldn't believe a guy listed at 7'1 in 1990 is really 6'7, especially with the fact he is the tallest player in the history of WSU, the same college that produced Greg Dreiling who played in the NBA and was listed at 7'1 there and at 7'1 in WSU too by the way :)

Yep. I think there is a good chance he has some kind of lifts in his shoes. 6-6 for JBL would shock me. 6-5 would surprise me. 6-4 wouldnt surprise me at all. 6-3 wouldnt surprise me too much.

Im gonna hove to respectfully disagree with you there JT.

and you cannnot judge heigth when they are so far away, morgan and show were not level, which was why the closer big show got to morgan, the more the height difference decreased. Nash was dwarfed by big show in WCW, looked like nearly 3 inches. In my pic morgan and show appear the same heihgt(though ngi show is 2 icnehs taller) on the show tough enouhg there was 2 inches between them no more no less

I seem to recall Jones being a little taller than Morgan in the ring but no more than one inch. Jones usually looked at least 2 inches taller than Taker, whose footwear can vary greatly as we all know. Click Here Click Here Click Here Even in the Corporate Ministry days with his huge boots, Taker did not look as tall next to Big Show as Jones did.
IIRC, Morgan did wrestle Kane in OVW so there may be a few pics of the two out there. There used to be a Kane website with pics from their match but it looks like the site was taken down.

Big Show was at least 2 inches taller than Morgan. He was also at least an inch taller than Jones. Tough to say. Also perhaps Jones and Morgan wore a bit bigger footwear to come closer in height to Big Show so you never know.

here I took the pic with morgan and jones, now morgan looks taller though I think the angle is now SLIGHTLY in morgans favor, though not as much as nathan had it originally, if this picutre was leveled otu completely I still think morgan would look taller, but that is becasue nathans head is down. All in all I think they are the same exact height.

Alex; for me Morgan is between 6'8 and 6'9, he is not under or over those two figures for sure. I got a much better estimation of Morgan than other big guys like say Kane, Undertaker or Mark Jindrak as Morgan was standing in the one spot for over 20 minutes.
Jones looks in the same range, maybe max half an inch taller but no more Click Here

This is rich coming from a guy who thinks Tyler Mane is 6-10, Shawne Merriman 6-4, and Andre the Giant at over 7-0 :). I think Jason is way off on Matt Morgan's height, but his estimates are pretty good overall, much more than yours LV.''
& since when are the majority always right? Bit of a logical fallacy there in his argument... lol

I agree with Danimal though. 6'4 minimum, 6'5 at most. 6'6 is too much and 6'3 is too little.

I think JBL is 6-4 when all is said and done. But he can look even shorter. JBL being 6-5-6-6 would shock me a lot more than Jason's 6-3 estimate. You know hes getting a lot of help in his cowboy boots.

Actually, we've got a full strength side ... and a sacrificial lamb tonight in a couple of hours in the form of Japan. France, while I like them, seemed ineffective last night -- Argentina scored a well-deserved win.

"Foley's like 6'1 1/2'' at most and probably closer to 6'0'' there with his typical posture. JBL's probably in bigger footware and/or shoe inserts; he's got the typical buck-legged look in the first photo people get when doing so... I think he's 6'3'' FWIW."
Most agree with your estimated on Foley Jason. Though Im not surprised that LV was offended by it, lol. Hell, Vegas saw Mick at 6-3, where he is alone on that one.

No, Id actually say the lowest height you can go for JBL IS 6-3. He looked 6-2-6-3 with Charles Barkley as well. Nobody is saying 6-3 is a definite for JBL, except for maybe Jason. I think hes more 6-4 personally. Undertaker at 6-6? Certaintly.

There has gotta be 11 inches between Angle and Morgan there but Morgan has bigger boots which are probably giving 1 inch more than Angle's so there still would be at least 10 inches difference. 6'8-6'9 is Morgan's legit height probably.

though he also had tremendous posture so that must have been what made him appear so tall. Shad from cryme tyme definitely looked a legit 6'6" chuck palumbo and randy orton both looked about 6'4", and the big surprise was cade and murdoch never really viewed them as tall, cade was just about as tall as the tall fan, and Murdoch actually looked about 6'3"-4" though I always figured him to be no more 6'2".

I was at a raw house show not too long ago, and for a while I felt like these wrestlers were not near as tall as I thought they should be. But the whole night there was one pretty tall guy in the front row about 30 feet away from me and he was in one of the best spots right at the entrance so all the wrestlers were walking right by him. But when the wrestlers walked by him I only figured him to be 6'3" compared to the other wrestlers. But I must say when I got up during intermission I saw him and he was definitelly legitimately 6'6"! There was a big fella by the name of dan rodman who was listed at 6'7" on that tough enough show, but he had an easy 2 inches maybe even 3 inches on this guy (which would put him at 6

"And if Bradshaw is 6'3'' that means the Undertaker is 6'5''. Not possible."
Id say 6-4 for JBL and 6-6 for Undertaker are definite possibilites. Ive always pegged JBL as 6-4 max. And JBL did look 6-3ish on some page with a fan comparing him to other wrestlers. JBL did not look 6-5 or 6-6 with him. Though I will say Morgan is probably no shorter than 6-7 1/2 If he was listed at 6-10 in college.

Morgan's in large boots there; look at the height of the front of the shoe compared to Angle's. The wearing of lifts and large footware is rife in wrestling and Matt Morgan's a guy who's gimmick is his size. You hear about wrestlers shrinking here til the cows come home, but absolutely nowhere near as much lifts... Anyway, are you watching the rugby right now???

Morgan does seem a lot taller than JBL.. Big Show has to be a legit 7-footer. The only way he's not is if someone can argue that JBL is less than 6' 6, which I have seen him in real life before, and he does seem to be about that size.

Very true Cantstop25. Click Here Morgan looks around 2" to 2.5" taller, or probably around 1" to 1.5" taller since Akebono's likely barefoot there given that's how he wrestled. Akebono looks closer to the camera b/c of his huge gut. Morgan would never be that much taller if both were in comparable shoes. This gives you a rough idea how Morgan and ~ 6'6" JBL would measure up. Click Here

I think Morgan edges Akebono out in height. Big Show was taller against Akebono than he was against Morgan. Big Show easily 4" (or slightly more) over Akebono and only 3" over Morgan.

That picture with Morgan is very interesting! Now I have changed my mind, Big Show is at least 6'10". He is clearly taller than Matt.

Big Show had Morgan by an easy 3 inches (Click Here) (Click Here). I see Morgan at around 6'9". Here, he has about 12 inches on 5'10" Kurt Angle though with the high camera angle, he would be a little shorter if he were closer to the camera (Click Here). Morgan's soles on his shoes are really big but Angle's look pretty large as well. He has Angle by at least 11 inches here (Click Here). I still think Nash, even at 47 or 48, may edge Morgan out by a shade unless Morgan has a big footwear advantage.

I also remember on Tough Enough 2 where Big Show came as a guest and was in the ring face to face with Morgan and there was only 2 inches apart no more. Morgan has stated himself he was 6'10 for Tough Enough, he could be lieing but who knows. Its Tough Enough so they may not inflate the height so he may be a legit 6'10 or 6'9 at the least.

In this video you can compare Matt Morgan with Big Show and they seem very close in height. Maybe morgan wore lifts...
I would say 6'9 for Morgan and 6'11 for Big Show today, 7' in his prime.

LV: go to Youtube and type in "Akebono vs. Royce Gracie" and you'll see the fight. Jason: Even IF you think Akebono is only 6' 5, then you should get 6' 7 COMPLETELY out of your head for Wight, because it's pretty obvious he was MUCH taller than just a measley two inches over Akebono. That's uncontested as we have full body shots of them both in barefeet. Unless you want to argue that Akebono is more like 6' 3, then there's just absolutely no way 6' 7 should even be brought up as an option anymore. With that being said, you said you mistook him for 6' 7.. that's very outrageous considering how much height has on Akebono.. and this time we can't even bring up the possibility of lifts.. which means, you either did not get that good of a view of him, or you are a very bad judge in height.. and if you can misjudge someone that bad in real life.. then I can see how you can get Akebono only being 6' 5 compared to Royce.. :)

Watching the fight now, 6'' doesn't seem unlikely by any means. They're never face to face at any point and Royce is in a lower stance most of the time they're on their feet.

This is dumb...Paul Wight is no shorter than 6'11", maybe closer to 7' in his prime. Akebono is enormous. I couldn't find a good link to Akebono/Royce but Akebono dwarfs him and Paul Wight had 4 inches on him. Anyone that thinks Big Show is anywhere near 6'7" is an idiot. His pictures with Dennis Rodman are enough to prove that.

If Akebono is only 6'5, than Bob Sapp is 6'1 and Brock Lesnar 5'11. Akebono towered over both these guys. If you look at his match against Giant Silva, Silva is not that much taller than Akebono. I would like to see him standing in front of Big Show, I doubt he would be taller than him.

And, I'm not talking about their promotional pics or anything where we don't know what kinda of ground they are standing on, or they are wearing shoes of unknown thickness. In their fight, they are barefooted and we often see them in full body shots.

I went to school with Paul Wight at SIUEdwardsville at the end of 1992. The first time I met him he came into the Rec center where we were playing foosball. When he entered the room he had to duck and turn sideways. The average doorway is about 6'6" to 6'8", so I promise you that he is in fact atleast 6'10" or better. Also, I am just shy of 6'2" and I played in a 3 on 3 basketball tournament against Paul in Troy, IL. He towered over me by a significant margin and could grab the rim while barely leaving the ground. Anyone that thinks he's under 6'10" must have met someone else.

To be honest I'm confused and unsure! I remember watching a match in which Morgan and Big Show were involved and Show looked a little taller than Matt. Morgan is a huge guy and I think he is about 6'9" so I would say about 6'10" for Paul Wight. But, on the other hand, Jason has met him and think he is between 6'7" and 6'9". I also remember another guy who months ago wrote that
some big dude (a guy who was arond 6'6" 1/2) had met Big Show and thought he was 1 inch or maybe 1.5 inches taller than him. Quite confusing! IMO the pictures with Rodman are unclear ! I don't trust what WWF says, that's for sure. All I can say is that Paul Wight is somewhere between 6'7" and 7' feet, I can't be more accurate than that. I'm not sure I can believe he wears a size 18 shoe either. However, Paul Wight is a huge guy, he is at least 6'7", has huge hands and weights at least 180 Kg. 180 Kg means about 35 Kg heavier than Shaq. That's very impressive ! Ciao !

Massimo, Big Show probably would have ended up with the distorted facial features like Andre did had he not had surgery at around age 20 to remove the tumor. Big Show's head is every bit as large as Andre's, though he hadn't yet developed the overhanging brow, enlarged jaw, etc. Both had really severe forms of the disease.
Richard Kiel (Jaws from James Bond) had the surgery too but after his facial features had become distorted (the distance between his eyes widened as his skull expanded). For these patients, the surgeon operates through the nose to access the pituitary gland!
It looks like Dalip Singh (Great Khali) never had his condition treated, or at least not until after his facial features had become distorted. These patients also have enlargement of soft tissue, including in the head and neck. You can see how enlarged Singh's tongue is, which causes him difficulty in speaking. The soft tissue around the vocal cords also enlarges, which then affects the voice. Watch the YouTube video on 8

I don't know who you are talking about, but I remember that, about 10 years ago, Radhouane Charbib was a guest in an Italian TV-Show. He was 2.35 at the time (now I heard he is 2.27) and,wow,looked HUGE. He was twice taller than all the other persons in the show. He made look Fabrizio Frizzi ( the talkshow host) like... An atom. And Frizzi is not a small guy by any means, he is 6'2" or 6'3" and weights probably around 190-200 lbs. I guess Radhuane has a tumor in his pituitary gland.

Massimo, as JT has already pointed out, some people have more extreme cases of acromegaly than others. It could just be that Andre's was more severe than Big Show's. Or more likely, it could be because Big Show had his tumor removed at an early age, while Andre didn't.

You should have seen this one guy with acromegaly I saw on a TV program last year. I don't think it developed until he was like 40, the guy was 50-something years old. He was about 6'2'' and had enlarged features and big feet ... but man, you should have heard his voice. Deepest voice I've ever heard bar none -- it was absolutely unreal. He made Andre nearly sound like a choire boy. Come to think of it, I think this was in Italy lol.

I think there can be other sources besides the pituitary gland, but it's usually that. There's also other different conditions that cause very tall stature or acromegaly-like features. Estrogen resistance and Marfan Syndrome to name a couple. Big Show seems more normal than Andre did, but I would say it's extremely evident with him, too... lol

Thank you guys for the explainations. I'm still a little confused! Is the tumor in the pituitary gland the only existing form of gigantism ? It's a quite complicated issue. Andre the Giant looked much more affected from this disease than Big Show. Big Show looks much more normal than Andre, his head is smaller. By looking at him I wouldn't even know that he has (or "had", I heard he has had a surgery) this illness. In Andre's case sadly it was evident. Thanks again.

However it's strange the fact that all the people who have acromegaly have huge
hands and huge feet but some of them don't reach extreme heights. I mean, I have read on the Internet that Primo Carnera was legittimately measured by an American doctor at 6'5" 3/4 (even if many Italians still believe he was over 2.00) and Andre the Giant was probably below 7 feet even at his peak, not even close to a natural giant like Manute Bol. On the other hand Gheorghe Muresan is about 7'6", a full foot taller than Carnera, who suffered from the same desease. I guess there are many different kinds of acromegaly.
Acromegaly mostly develops during adulthood, while gigantism (which causes the extreme heights) develops in childhood. Acromegaly doesn't cause someone to grow any taller.
A good example of someone who has acromegaly but not gigantism is Maurice Tillet. A French wrestler from the 50's who was only 5'10 and nowadays is called "The Human Shrek", as he kind of looked like Shrek.
A good example of someone who had both acromegaly as gigantism is Andre the Giant. Look at pics of Andre when he was still a teen. He was tall but his features where still normal. When he went into adulthood he started to change very rapidly and in a matter of 2 or 3 years he changed from a healthy looking man in the person that we now all know him as.

Massimo, the people who develop the tumor in their pituitary gland at a young age (before their growth plates fuse) tend to be very tall (Andre, Big Show, Great Khali, Robert Wadlow, Jaws from the James Bond movies, etc.) Others may develop the tumor later in life, including after the growth plates have fused. They don't become any taller but their hands, feet, brow, jaw, etc. will continue to enlarge from the excessive growth hormones. Also, some people have a mild form of the disease while others have a more severe form.

I mean, I have read on the Internet that Primo Carnera was legittimately measured by an American doctor at 6'5" 3/4 (even if many Italians still believe he was over 2.00) and Andre the Giant was probably below 7 feet even at his peak, not even close to a natural giant like Manute Bol. On the other hand Gheorghe Muresan is about 7'6", a full foot taller than Carnera, who suffered from the same desease. I guess there are many different kinds of acromegaly.

Well it's a good thing that Akebono and Big Show were both barefooted, and in full body pics, because that there tells it all: Big Show is a 7-footer.

No, I'm not eating it lol. They pad all kinds of stats in boxing. If you look at the tales of the tape for the various heavyweight champs over the last century, there's some crazy stuff in there that there's simply no way of being true.

Probabaly you're right. The ones I saw weren't good pictures. I have found them in gettyimages.com . However, I have never seen a picture in which Paul Wight looked 4"+ inches taller than Rodman. Anyway, Big Show always looks taller than the other wrestlers. I would like to see him with some tall basketball player like Shaq, Yao, Mutombo or others to solve any doubt. I remember Jason saying that Paul Wight looked 6'7", 6'7" 1/2 when he met him and ,if I remember well, Jason is around 6'3", a big guy, so he could judge Big Show's height well. But, of course, this is not a proof.

I was watching Big Show's pictures with Dennis Rodman and Paul doesn't look much taller than Dennis. Maybe Jason is right, who knows ? When I watch (very rarely actually) Big Show's matches in Italy, the commentator use to say he is
2.23! What an exaggeration! Funny that Paul Wight has 15" inches hands, the same size as Sonny Liston, a guy who was only 1.84. Primo Carnera (6'5" 3/4) had 14". 75. Howard Cosell said once that Wilt Chamberlain had bigger hands than Sonny Liston, so they were over 15", HUGE HANDS. They used to say that Andre had 16" hands but who knows if it's true. I would pay 50 Euros to know how big Shaq's hands are in inches!

Danimal: If Hogan lost 3 inches between the neck and his torso, then why aren't his legs proportionally a lot longer than the rest of his body? Proportionally, his body looks the same as it ever has. Three inches is a significant loss in any section of the body without having noticeable disfigurement.

Oh come on, now you're putting ALL the emphasis on his height loss having occured in his lower body and dismissing the fused neck and back surgeries, which in and of itself reduced this man at least 2" in height. Last I remembered, people did not wear their JEANS as a shirt or a tie. I question people's intelligence on here. Vegas, get a life and go outside for 5 minutes would you.

On a recent episode of Hogan Knows Best, Hogan got into some jeans he had since the 80s apparently, and they weren't too small for him (except that they were tight because he had gained girth since he first got the pants apparently). Goes to show that he wasn't 6' 6 or even close. I think Hogan at best was about the same height he was now, maybe an inch taller, and that's it.

There was a picture floating around with Paul Wight standing next to a real estate agent (who claimed to be 6.2'). It appeared like near a foot difference between the two.

'This guy at the upper end of 6ft can get away with saying he's this height...I mean, who is gonna argue with him?'
so that means you actually see him as a 6'11?

A-Train was billed at 6'7-6'8 and for years I thought he actually did look it. Lifts probably the reason and gave an impression of a guy that tall. I've read his real height was 6'6 though. Unsure on his height but I would think he would be 6'5-6'6 legit though.

Albert def looked under 6'6 when i met him but it was dark and on the busy new york street unlike all of my other meetings where me and the wrestler were always on even ground and I got a good long look at them. I was surprised how much shorter he looked than what i expected him to be (i think he was being billed at 6'8 at the time and i thought it was legit back then).
he does look 6'6-6'7 there next to McMahon though in your picture JT (is mcmahon standing straight do you reckon??)

Great videos. Bundy isn't much shorter than Clarke Duncan or Viscera from youtube videos. If Bundy wasn't a full 6'4", I'd be surprised. No way in hell he was close to 6'2" since he was considerably taller than the 6'1" Ed O'Neil. Its no suprise that many on here want to shrink him, that way it makes Hogan, Andre, and others shorter by comparison. At least get some legit evidence before shrinking some 2" and a random 6'2" posting on obsessedwithwrestling isn't solid proof. Here is my picture of Hogan and Bundy (Click Here) and here is a match between Bundy and Viscera (Click Here). The height difference is the same and Viscera is no shorter than 6'6" from his pictures with Big Ben and Max Starks.
