That's true about Andre's grandfather on an A&E autobiography that his grandfaher was 7'8 and also Andre was 7ft tall by the end of high so at 18. I would assume he was over 7ft tall in his twenties but his height began to drop gradually when he got to his thirties. I'd sa he ended up at 6'10 against Hulk Hogan.

Jiga, its pretty possible if they both appear on the same show tonight. I'll be watching anyway and hopefully they'll come face to face.

I've been seeing that "and change" term quite frequently here on the boards. Never knew that you were the one that made it up, Danimal :)

123456 educate yourself man. Undertaker was never 6'10". Personally, I believe that Andre at his peak would have been the same height if not a slightly bit taller than the Big Show in his prime. Andre towards the end of his career would have been pretty much dwarfed by The Big Show.
Big Show, I like how you're quoting my "and change" term. I do agree with your estimates though about Hogan's height.

I personally think Andre the Giant is taller than the Big Show.I also saw a picture of the Undertaker fighting Giant Gonzalez. Giant Gonzalez looked 8`0`` next to 6`10`` tall Undertaker.He towered over Taker.Giant Gonzlez was supposed to be really 7`7``.The family of Andre the Giant claims that Andre may of had a grandfather that was 7`8``.

JT, Flair isn't as tall as 6'0 anymore. At his peak I think he probably was but today no way is he 6'0 barefoot. He only looked 1/2 inch taller than Angle. I'd say Flair is 5'10.5 today.

Editor Rob has Flair at 6'0". He's nowhere near 5'9" or even 5'10". Big Show was at least a head size taller (11+ inches) than Flair, Van Dam and Tommy Dreamer.

Big Show is easily a head taller and maybe a bit more than RVD and we gotta understand that Big Show's head isn't going to be the normal 9 inch size length of a head. Its going to be a good 11, maybe 12 inches. I'd stick with 11. Big Show looks taller than Andre did at WM 3 I think.

Big Show has terrible postur and through out the whole mach he had that same terrible posture. But he was still a head taller than Flair so you've got to consider the fact that Big Show's huge head has got to be over a foot long because mine is 11 inches long (I know I have a big head)and I am only 6'3.5. If Big Show stands with a good posture he's 7'0. The bet you anything that the WWE knows he has a bad posture so that ask him to stand up completly straight whenever he is going to have a face off with some else who is tall like Kane, Kevin Nash, and Akebono. Kane is 6'7, Kevin Nash 6'9 or 6'10, and Akebono 6'8(barefoot) and Big Show been taller than all of them in a face off; the Undertaker as well. You can't just chop of 3-4 inches off a guy who they used to call 7'2 (even 7'4 in WCW). WWE would not add 6 inches to a 6'8 guy to make him over 7'0 tall. I also believe Show think he doesn't need to stand up straight next to guys like Flair and Dreamer because of his huge body mass advantage. Does any one AGREE or DISAGREE with anything I've said?

Flair is billed as 5"11 in this WWE magazine i got from the house show.. i was not really able to observer show during his match.. @($&#$ @ss had a huge sign in front of me.. !! i guess flair could be shorter since WWE always makes hight higher except in the case of rey.. maybe.. ?!?

In my oppinion Show only looked about 6'9 next to Flair. He didn't look that Big in ECW next to Van Dam either.
I can't see this guy taller than 6'10 really... and I give him that because of his bad posture.. he looks shorter than Andre did at Wrestlemania 3.

Danimal, Flair I think was probably about 6'0 when he was younger but 5'11 for him could be possible. I do remember he was a bit taller than Kurt Angle in a faceoff so 5'10.5 may be more accurate.

Thing is Alex, Ric Flair ain't no 5'11"...lol. The man is 5'9" or 5'10" at best today. This man has taken a beating in the ring for 34 years. He may at one time in his life been 5'11", but today he is barely as tall as 5'10" Kurt Angle.

There is this magazine I got that has a good shot of his head and entire body shot and yea his head is def 11, maybe 12 inches long. I'd say his eye level to the top of his head is 5 inches and from the eye to the bottom of his head is 6-7 inches.
5 inches is a lot because say you're 6'4 then a guy who is 5'11, the top of his head would be right at your eye level then it would make you think he isn't as much as 5 inches shorter than you. While back I thought the eye level was more 3 inches from the top of your head. Mine is 4 inches from the top of my head, 4.5 tops. My head is about 9 inches though.

6 inches from the top of his head to his eye level seems a little too much. Thats half a foot so it sounds too much. 5 is more I am thinking.

Editor Rob I think this guy's head would be in 12 inches range, so 5.5 might be close...if anybody ever got a picture with the guy you could find out better how big his head really was.
actually, just a note - if you ever get a pic with a celebrity and your face is looking pretty straight onto the camera, you can use your own interpupillary distance as a 'barometer' for measuring height difference...it can be reasonably accurate

Viper: oh he was human, probably just on something illegal. But yeah, he was the strongest person pound-for-pound I have ever witnessed. And the strange thing was, I had a friend who had bigger legs than he did, but he still couldn't squat as much as that guy could, not even close. Genetics I guess.

Was Big Show really measured at 6-11? I figured that was a billed height. Even If he was measured, a good chance it was with shoes plus rounded up from that.

The last time TBS was legitinately measured, he was 6 ft 11 in tall (In his basketball days in school),a nd that was after an operation that stopped his accelerated growth. So I would think he is a legit 6 ft 11 in, that might get less in the future as his weight takes it toll.

Jordan, Big Show looked at least a head size taller than Cena in that video, which in Big Show's case is probably 11 inches at minimum. Plus, Cena was wearing a baseball cap. If Big Show were down to 300 lbs. or even 400 lbs., he would "appear" his true height. I think his body is just so large that you notice his girth first rather than notice how tall he really is.
Big Show again towered over Tommy Dreamer last night on ECW, and his boots looked pretty legit. Big Show threw Dreamer (probably 240 lbs. and 6'0"-6'1") around last night like a rag doll. It's amazing how much raw strength this guy has.

Jordan in that video, there are a few moments where they are both standing straight towards each other and Big Show looks a head taller. Seeing as his head is probably 11 inches taller (at least!) and Cena is 6 foot even, do the math yourself.

I am actually going to check my body fat soon I think to make sure what it is. But at 195-200lbs even 12-13% is good but I'd like to get it down to 8-10 without having to lose weight because I was at 10% but weighed 185-187lbs.

Weighing 254lbs and having a 450lb bench isn't that impressive. When I was in high school I attended a powerlifting competition, and the strongest guy there (pound-for-pound that is) was 168lbs and had a 450lbs bench with a 590lbs squat.

Noel, the guy in the photo is Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks. He's listed as 7'0" and looks it if you watch as much NBA basketball as I do.
Has anyone noticed how skinny the basketball players look when they aren't in their uniforms? Check out the clips on youtube.com of Karl Malone and Dennis Rodman when they wrestle. Malone looked huge on the basketball court but downright lean when he wrestled Hulk Hogan, who was in his mid to late 40s at the time and appeared more solid. Even Shaq looks like he can never fill out his clothing. Maybe it's the disproportionately long arms and legs.

Some of these NFL guys have sick body fat percentages at well over 200 pounds. San Francisco 49ers just drafted a stud Tight End in Vernon Davis who's 6-3 weighs 254 pounds and only has about 3-4 percent bodyfat. Oh he also runs a 4.38 40, benches over 450 pounds and has a 42 inch vertical. :)

Having your six-pack visible also depends on how your body distributes its fat reserve. Some guys have to go very low to have a visible six pack due to the fact that their body genetically has a disposition towards storing fat in the stomach area.
My body type stores fat more in the love handle area and my stomach is usually quite flat. The lowest I ever had my body fat at was measured with a body immersion test and came out to be 10%. Yet my six pack was fully visible and bordering on an eight pack. Yet my love handles were still visible. :P

ER if you workout at a gym, you could ask one of the instructors if they have some kind of equipment there to measure your body fat percentage.
Alex, I do have a visible 6-pack, but it's not as ripped as the ones you mostly see in a magazine or on tv. But I also don't have to hold my breath or anything to create one. I think most of my weight is created by my legs, which are pretty big and strong. My upperbody isn't quite as well build as my lower body.

I don't know what my body fat percentage is now, but I had it checked about 5.5 years ago while I was in the AF and I had 6.8% body fat, and at this time I weighed around 140lbs. Now I don't look that much different than I did back then, but I weigh a lot more now... so I think it's safe to say that my body fat has risen to at least 8%.

Big Show, you must have a 6 pack then at 8% body fat. Lowest I got to was 10% and my abs were good but not a 6 pack, more like a 4 pack. Now in the 12-13% range I don't conisder myself to have high body fat but not too low either. Abs are a bit less defined then they were at 10% body fat.

Big Show,
I had gained 41 pounds in 2 and a half years to play for varsity football. I would recommend if your trying to gain good weight to eat alot of fish. Thats what I had alot of when I tried to gain wieght and maybe eat later in the day so when you go to sleep you wont burn as much calories. I also almost went broke since fish and steak is so expensive but I was 228lbs when on varsity so it worked. And of cousrse continue lifting weights.

How do you measure how much body fat you have? I'm 189 CM. and weigh 87 KG/192 lbs. I used to be pretty skinny at only 69 KG/152 lbs. Now, after I started working out and eating proberly, nearly over eating at times I went up 18 KG/40 lbs, and feel now that I am at the opposite end of the scale - I probably need to loose a little bit. Anybody have any idea how I can measure my body fat out of these numbers? Thanks.

I'm just over 6 feet tall and weigh 181 lbs. My body fat percentage is around 8 %. When I just started working out, my body fat was very low. Back then I weighed 141 lbs and had a body fat percentage less than 5 %. My body fat percentage was less then the 5% minimum the body fat meter could measure. I was pretty skinny back then, but I didn't have underweight. Now I've gained a lot of muscle and some fat as well, because of my diet (I eat like three times as much as I did 5 years ago). I don't consider my physique to be anything spectaculor. I'm still pretty skinny and I envy the guys who have a high bodyfat percentage (12% or more) but already have the perfect physique (V-shape, broad shoulders, big arms). I've had to work like hell to get this physique and still it's not where it should be.

Last time I checked my body fat percentaeg it was 14% but i'm 5'10 and 239lbs so I guess the weight I have is pretty solid. When I lifted daily for football I could max bench press 290 and squt 425.

Big Show, well I could say I am a normal person but I do workout a good amount but I am not an athlete meaning I don't play on any sports teams or sports. Just workout as a hobby but for someone who works out 12-13% is still good but when you get 10 and under it starts getting VERY good.

15% body fat is pretty normal for a normal human being. For an athlete like Brock Lesnar, it would be a little too much, but I don't think in wrestling they pay as much attention to it as they're doing in other sports. In soccer, fat percentage is very important. Look at the way the world is complaining about Ronaldo. His body fat percentage will probably be around 17 percent, but critics are destroying him for being too fat.

Jordan in 1999 Big Show was only 420lbs legit. He said on the Howard Stern Show that hes really 420 and is billed as 500lbs. I believe that especially since he could have just said his billed weight instead. He was only 430lbs in 2000 until he came back and got up to 480lbs then sent to OVW. He looks around the same weight as he was before he got sent to OVW.

Big Show, I think Foley is no less than 6'2" and probably closer to 6'3". You can blow up the photo of Big Show and see that the heel is pretty standard and about the size of the heel on a tennis or casual dress shoe (which the guy next to him is wearing). In the chiropractor photos, this guy looks around 5'11" to 6'0" in every photo but the one with Angle though we can't see footwear or stances. Maybe Angle shrank a bit after his neck surgery? Alex, had Angle already had his surgery when your photo with him was taken?

Dreamer could pass as 240lbs since he is pretty stocky buy 265 is impossible. Also ECW had Balls mahoney as 361lbs but recently changed him to 320lbs, he does not even look 290 to me, Also I do belive that big show can be 500lbs since he looks alot fatter then he did in 1999 when he was 450.

I've watched the video between Lesnar and Dreamer again, but I couldn't really judge Dreamer's height because he never had a showdown with Lesnar, where they stood eye to eye.
That chiropractor puzzles me a little bit. He's as tall as Rikishi, who 6'-6'1, but he's about 2-3 inches smaller than Mick Foley, who's 6'1-6'2. The pic with Angle is tilted a little bit in Angle's favour. I'd say this guy is 5'11 tops.

Honestly JT, that guy doesn't really look like he's 5'9. He comes up to Dreamer's eyelevel, which indicates a 3.5 - 4 inch height difference. In the pic with Dan Severn, it looks like this "5'9" guy would only reach Severn's nose if both were standing straight. This would indicate a 5.5 - 6 inch difference. The guy looks to be 5'8 to 5'8.5. Big Show does have a good 15 inches on him, making him 6'11 to 6'11.5, but I can't really see what kind of shoes he's wearing.

Brock Lesnar is one of the few WWE stars who's weight I could actually buy. 285 lbs I can believe. The guy is huge, but he doesn't have much dry muscle mass. He's got quite a lot of bodyfat (look at his tadpoles). I'd say his bodyfat percentage would be around 12-15%. Honestly Alex, Brock doesn't look like he's 300lbs+ now. He's not that much bigger (if any) than he was during his WWE days. But doesn't anyone agree with me that this guy would be a great addition to the ECW-roster.
I've seen the pics of Tommy Dreamer and Big Show on WWE.com. Big Show indeed looks 11 inches taller than Dreamer (the same as 4 years ago during the ECW/WCW invasion, so I don't think he's wearing different shoes as he was back then). The question is, how tall is Dreamer? Honestly, he doesn't look anywhere near 6'3. I have to watch the video of his match with Brock Lesnar again. Since Lesnar is a legit 6'2, this would be a good comparison. From memory, Lesnar did seem to be 2 or 3 inches taller, which would make Dreamer 5'11 to 6', but Dreamer does slouch an awful lot. He hardly ever stands straight during matches.

Dreamer's height is usually billed anywhere from 6'2"-6'3". I say 6'2" is more likely, maybe even 6'1". Big Show was wearing his huge shoes that night though. They had to give him about 1.5" in height. So if Dreamer is 6'1", Big Show may have been 7' in those shoes. Without them, he may be 6'10.5" or 6'11".

Viper652, If Nash is only 6'8 max, than Undertaker was 6'6 at peak max. (which I know a lot of guys on this board will disagree with). Also Oliver Miller will only be the 6'6 range if Nash is only 6'8.
Yes, Choi has acromegaly, but so did Big Show in his early career and his head is huge. Akebono's head didn't look as small compared to Big Show's head as it did compared to Choi's head. Akebono doesn't have a small head himself you know. He's a 500 lbs+ mountain of a man.
I don't think Benoit weighs 220 lbs. Here's a picture of Bill Pearl a genuine 5'9, 220 lbs man. He's a lot bigger than Benoit, and definately more massive.

Bleemo, I would have guessed Benoit was 5'8'' 215lbs. And as you guys can attest, I'm not one for underestimating lol. I think WWE only bills him at 229 or something, though?
Viper, yep, Pippen was listed as 6'7'' right up until 1998 when he left the Bulls and went to the Trailblazers & the Blazers bumped up his height to 6'8''. Did he grow at age 33? Of course not. Chicago just had him at his real height while the Blazers did the NBA standard bump up. Players have the option of being listed at their barefoot height, I would guess 80-90% don't exercise it though. Rodman, on the other hand, opted to have his barefoot height listed as his official one when he went to the Bulls as his below average height for a power forward (NBA power forwards average 6'8'' bare foot in today's NBA, I would guess slightly less in the 80s) was no longer an issue as it was when he was starting out as he'd established himself as one of the league's few best rebounders despite his height.

Jason, Benoit could be around 215lbs but thats the lowest and 220lbs is possible. He's a big guy, well not tall but he has good mass and is pretty cut too. If Benoit is only 187lbs that means I am 8-13lbs heavier since I am 195-200lb range as it flucuates. Also I am a good few inches taller than this guy but I stick to 220lbs for him.
Brock probably isn't the 295lbs he is billed as but I think he's one of the few that are pretty close to his billed weight. Def looks in the 285-290lb range.

I find this weight thing very bizzare, there is 14 pounds in a stone, this is a fact. I am 5'8.5 barefoot, i've been measured many times at this height and I weigh bang on 12 stone, which is 168 lbs.
There's no way Benoit is only about 20 lbs heavier then me. I'm naturally broad across the shoulders and in general have a marginally bigger build then average. However I would refer to myself as being athletically built, not a bodybuilder's build by any stretch of the imagination, Benoit could be a lighter bodybuilder.
I bet I'd be dwarfed by this guy in build, the man is ripped. It's hard to tell exactly, but he's got way bigger biceps, triceps and chest then me. He's got to weigh atleast 200lbs surely? maybe more as Jason says, I mean he is genuinely in the 5'8-5'9 range height wise.

Having seen Benoit in person, I would guess he's around 215lbs. I couldn't possibly see him being only 187. Brock Lesnar did look closer to 270lbs than 295, though.

Big Show, Choi's head is much bigger because he has acromegaly. ;)
Cantstop25, the difference at the end was due to proximity to the camera. When they were level with each other Nash was only marginally taller. Nash has bad posture? And like Rodman's is good? lol
JT, Pippen was listed as 6'7'' all those years with the Bulls. I think it's highly unlikely to say the least they would have done that had he been 6'8''. Rodman himself has said he's 6'6'' numerous times. Even Rob has Rodman at 6'6 1/2''. Rodman is clearly slightly below Pippen:

Now I know some will say, hey Michael Jordan is 6'6''. But any basketball fan worth their salt knows the majority of NBA listed heights are in shoes + rounded up.

Hong-Man Choi once competed in a beach volleybal tournament (you can find the vid on youtube.com). They compared Choi to the height of the volleyball net, which was 7'2 heigh. Comparing him to this net, Choi was 7'0.65 (215 cm). He was barefeet, so I have no doubt to believe that this guy is over 7 feet tall. The full scaled pictures between Choi and Akebono, heavily favour Choi. Just compare their heads. Choi's head looks much bigger, indicating that he stood a little bit closer to the camera. I would say the height difference between the two of them is no more than 5-6 inches. That would make Akebono 6'6.5 - 6'7.5.
I don't know how tall Rodman is, but I think he's somewhere between 6'6.5 - 6'7. He was like 2 inches taller than Michael Jordan, who's listed on this site as 6'5. I don't think you should downgrade Nash's height, based on this video. There is far better material out there on the net that proves Nash is somewhere around 6'9 - 6'10 (like his match with the Undertaker and the pic with Oliver Miller).
I remember they showed this clip once in the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, when they were having an interview with Rodman. Leno said that Rodman looked like a small child next to the Giant. Rodman replied: "Well he's 7'2 and I'm about 6'6".
Pete, I believe I'm the one that ones said that Benoit is "muscular but not massive", and I stand behind my quote. I'm fanatic weightlifter myself, and at my gym I've seen a couple of bodybuilders who were big, but didn't at all weigh as much as I thought. One guy was probably around the same height as Benoit. He was more massive, but not as ripped as Benoit. This guy only weighed a 165 lbs!
Benoit is pretty ripped, which means he has dry muscle mass. People with dry muscle mass don't weigh as much as you think. Just look at those bodybuilders. They're a lot bigger than Benoit and they're in the 220-230 lbs range.

The difference between Choi and Akebono is more 6 1/2'' at least when you consider Choi's top of head to middle of eyes would be at least 5 1/2.

Doug Collins, former coach of the Bulls, said Pippen was 6'9". I think that's stretching it, but I bet he was a strong 6'8". He looked around 2.5 to almost 3 inches taller than Jordan in many pictures. I never bought Rodman's revised listing of 6'6". I don't see him any shorter than 6'7.5" or 6'8". Rodman had around a 2 to 3 inch height advantage on Hogan, whereas Nash usually looked around 5 inches taller than Hogan. I heard that Rodman suffered some type of injury when he mistimed Big Show's choke slam.

Akebono looks no more than 6 inches shorter than Choi. 5.5 inches at the lowest. He looks to come to just about the middle of Choi's nose which is around 5.5, 6 inches tops.

Can't see Nash having 2 or 2 1/2 inches on Rodman. Rodman compares to Nash slightly better than what Taker did. I would say 1, 1 1/2 max.

How can some of you say that Benoit is "muscular but not massive" or "skinny for his height". The guy may not be tall (in the 5'9 range when I met him) but he's definitely HUGE! Even with one good decade of serious weightlifting very few guys could naturally attain the physique he has. He is super stocky and extremely muscular. Most of you guys could ever dream of ever having such a physique so please quit talking nonsense about wrestlers' builds!

I'd say Rodman is 6'6'' flat, but he could be 6'6 1/2'' as Rob has him. He isn't quite as tall as 6'7'' Scottie Pippen. Either way, Nash is only about one inch taller than him. And yeah, I would say Hogan is about 2 1/2 inches shorter than Rodman. Maybe 3? Dunno, but regardless it's obvious Hogan wasn't as tall as 6'5'' in the late 90s. I'd say Big Show is 3-3 1/2'' taller than Akebono.

Huk Hogan & Dennis Rodman vs the Giant and Lex Luger. Unfortunately there's no good comparison between Rodman & the Giant there but the rest of the NWO does a run in and Kevin Nash is only an inch or so taller than 6'6'' Rodman! You even see Rodman waltz over to Nash and high 5 and then hug him. Rob, what do you make of this? You had Nash listed here as 6'10''! :)

Doesn't look like much difference to me, man. Certainly not as much as the pic you're talking about of Sapp with Akebono might suggest. You can see clear as day Akebono's heels are twice as big as Sapp's, they're some large heels while Sapp's are flat as a board.
In the comparison pics of Choi with both Sapp and Akebono, Choi is in practically the same stance and tilt of head in both but his eye level is only about an inch and a half higher up compared to Sapp's head than it is to Akebono. The pic with 6'3 1/2'' Remy Bonjasky further confirms Choi isn't 7'2''. If Choi is only 7'0'', that puts Akebono's real height at around 6'5''. Akebono, at best, comes just a little bit short of Choi's eye level:

Akebono is usually lited at 6'8 but i have heard reports of 6'7. If he is as low as 6'6 i still see Choi at 7'0. If Ake is 6'6 then the Big Show is 6'10 MAX. I dont think Akebono is 6'6, he got to be taller. My opinions are
Choi is 7'0.5 to 7'2
Big Show 6'10 to 7'0
Akebono 6'7-6'8

Akebono is much closer in height to Choi (Click Here) than Sapp is (Click Here). In these photos, Choi looks around 7'0".
Jason, the shoe that Akebono is wearing in the photo with Sapp is a standard dress shoe. The heel may be bigger than the one on Sapp's shoe (the photo isn't that clear) but not by much. A 4 inch difference in height seems plausible.

In that second pic you posted Jason, Choi only looks 2 inches taller than Akebono.
During their match, Akebono dwarfed Bob Sapp. He was definately 3 to 4 inches taller than Sapp. In the pic with Sapp, Akebono is wearing normal dressing shoes (maybe 1.5 inch heel). The size advantage for Akebono would probably be only 1 inch.

Noel, did you see the same Waterboy movie as I did. Big Show only appeared in the beginning of the movie as a wrestler. He was interviewed by a fat commentator. After that, he didn't have any scene in that movie. Definately not one with Adam Sandler.
I remember I went to see the Waterboy in theaters back in 1998, just to see Big Show. There were some problems with the movie projector, so the first 5 minutes of the movie were wasted. Therefor I missed half of Big Show's performance.

Jordan, Khali will be physically stronger than Big Show, because he used to be a power lifter. But as a wrestler, Big Show is definately stronger. Carrying around weights is not the same as carrying around grown-up men. I myself can squat 398 lbs, but I have to put up some effort in lifting a 243 lbs man on my shoulders. Big Show has the ability in throwing around (giant) men as if they were ragdolls. I mean, just look at his chokeslam, no one can perform it the way he does it. He can actually hold his opponent up in the air for a couple of seconds. I've seen this Khali do a chokeslam in Japan, and it absolutely sucked. Think of the chokeslams that Giant Gonzales gave to the Undertaker, they're on the same level.

Akebono was just wearing big heeled shoes in the promotional pic with Sapp while Sapp was in flats as I pointed out, the real difference between them as these pictures show is much less, more like 1.5'' than 3 or so.
The pics of Choi with Sapp and Bonjasky show Choi to be closer to 6'11'' than 7'2''. Yet Choi is 6-7'' taller than Akebono. Big Show is only 3-4'' taller than Akebono...

Choi looks to be between 6'11'' and 7'0'' if Remy Bonjasky's original 192cm (6'3 1/2'') metric measurement is spot on legit. Looks to be right about 8 inches taller than Bonjasky if you give him an Andre the Giant like 6 inches from the top of his head to his eyes, the top of Remy's head falls about 2 inches short of them.

More like 4''. If Akebono was really 6'8'', then Big Show would be 7'0''. JT was comparing Akebono to that gigantic Korean MMA dude who's supposedly 7'2'' to try to guage Akebono's real height. I remember seeing a pic of the Korean guy standing next to Sapp at a MMA promotional event and he looked more like 6'10'' or 6'11'' next to Sapp. Haven't been able to find the pic again as of yet.

Big Show, who do you think is physically stronger out of Big Show and Khali. My opinion is that Khali might be stronger but the Big Show has tons more athletic ability. I alos think that the show is 6'11 minimum and khali might have a little over an inch on him.

Akebono weighs in around 450lbs for his MMA matches and looks just as big if not bigger there than he did vs Big Show at Wrestlemania last year. Akebono was regarded as like the biggest sumo wrestler there is, so it makes sense WWE wouldn't have had Big Show come in heavier.

Jordan, Akebono could be more than 500lbs. Maybe 525lbs but whatever he is its of pure fat. Big Show does have fat on him too but hes more bulk/fat with some muscle in his arms.

Big Show, if akebono and Big SHow engaged in a real sumo match would you agree that Big Show would be alot stronger then Akebono, because just looking at those pics of Show and Ake, I think Akebono is 500 lbs of fat, while the big Show has some series muscle in his massive arms.

Jordan, some say that the weigh-in of Akebono and Big Show was a shoot, but I have my doubts about that. Seeing as the difference between the two was just so small, I was wondering what the hell the WWE were planning to accomplish with this segment. Akebono 'only' weighed about 15 lbs more, which you can't really consider an advantage.
Knowing WWE, if it was a shoot, they would've let Big Show weigh-in at just over 500 lbs, seeing as he has always been billed at 500 lbs, and he has become considerably fatter over the years.
Bob Sapp said himself in an interview he was 6 foot 1/3, which is the same as 6'4. He's been billed anywhere from 6'3 to 6'10. I think 6'4 is the correct height for him.

Almost every photo of Akebono and Big Show has Akebono at about the eyebrow level of Big Show, meaning there should be at least a 4 inch difference in height. Both have such rotund builds that your eyes really don

JT's photo of Big Show and Akebono is tilted severely in Show's favor. Here is that same photo "adjusted" for the tilt:

It's not perfect because there is still a camera angle that has Akebono a bit closer. Note the angle is from the right, a little behind Akebono.

When big show and akebono were officially weighed in the ring, was that scale fixed or did the Show really weigh at 493 and akebono at 504 ?

Go to the Brock Lesnar site, where I posted a video of Brock Lesnar vs. Akebono. If Lesnar is 6'2, than Akebono is definately 6'7 - 6'8. When he stands up straight he really towered over Lesnar. The same thing with Big Show, if he stood up straight, he really dwarfed Lesnar.

One of Bob Sapp's official listings is 6'3'' so he could be 6'3'' and change, or just a flat 6'3'' since the listing is metric (190cm). If you look at their shoes, Sapp's are flat where as Akebono's have a big heel.

I saw a picture in the latest Raw magazine with Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child who's height I seen at 5'9 a lot was with Big Show and the top of her head was just scraping Big Show's chin. I am not sure if she had heels on or something but from other pictures with Big Show I can bet she had on big heels. Its in the latest Raw magazine. Anyone else see it?

JT, Bob Sapp I've heard his height was as low as 6'3 too and Akebono is still 4 inches taller so if Akebono is 4 inches taller then he's 6'7 and Big Show was at least 4 inches taller.

WCW could bill their wrestlers bigger because their rings were smaller.
I've never seen Big Show wear classic Kane type lifts, but I have seen him in some chunky old heels in the ring. I see 4 inches between Big Show and Akebono, if I knew Akebono really was 6'7'' or 6'8'' then Big Show is 6'11''-7'0''. From my experience, I can only conclude Akebono isn't in that range personally.

I would think a man of Big Show's size in the ring wrestling with lifts would be pretty dangerous. I doubt he wears lifts in the ring. His heels look 1-1.5 inches. Or it could be hes 6'10-6'11 and 7'0 in wrestling boots. Most wrestlers standard boots give 1-1.5 inches anyway besides Kane's old boots that gave more.

btw if he was 6'8 they would have been boosting his height 6" and 8" when he was being billed at 7'2 and 7'4 that's rediculous

Viper, exactly. Big Show could be 6'8'' if he wears lifts at times when he wrestles, which isn't out of the question considering his sometimes fluctuating height.

Sorry Im talking about Yokoso so much.As far as big show I think he is more like 6'10 or 6'11. I heard at a few sites that they had him at 6'11 in his basketball team when he was 24. I wonder if he grew from 24. He did have that disease, right. There is a "famous height list" that you can go to from google. I dont remenber which site but from google it could be found, and that is where I got my info on him being 6'11.

Thanks alex for adding a post about Yoko. I just wanted to see if anyone else shared me opinion about Yoko's Height. And yes I heard at his last paperview in 1998, yoko was almost at 700lbs. In 1993 when he was 600 he was actually pretty atheltic.

Maybe Big Show could be as low as 6'10 but under that I refuse to believe. If was 6'8 then he'd boost his height up 4 inches when he says 7'0 on talk shows. Thats like me going around saying I am 6'4-6'4.5 which I aint getting away with unless its some little kid or someone who is very bad at estimating height.

richard and jason there is NO WAY that Show is 6'8 cause that would make Kane 6'4, 6'5 and Taker 6'3, 6'4 therefore Hulk Hogan around 6'1, 6' use common sense there's no chance in hell that Paul Wight/ The Big Show is 6'8.

Richard, I think Big Show looks at least 4 inches taller next to Triple H than Starks does. Click Here
Click Here
Triple H comes up to about the back of Big Show's neck. Triple H is at least 4 inches above the back of Stark's neck. Big Show has a bigger head than Starks as well.
I still think Singh may be up to 2 inches taller than Big Show, though Singh's relatively lean appearance (if you can call a 400 pounder "lean") may create the impression that he is taller than he really is.

Yokozuna was indeed in the 6'1'' range. In fact, I've seen him listed at 6'1'' before. But he was only a little over 400lbs in his early WWF days. They used to put layers of padding in his trunks to make him look even bigger. He eventually did blow up to over 500lbs (when he was still wrestling), though. He got bigger again after he disappeared from the spotlight.

If Show is 6-8 that means Taker and Kane are 6-3 to 6-4. Orton would be like 6-0 and so would Batista. Than Rey Mysterio would be 4-10. Umaga and Mark Henry would only be 5-10 or 5-11. Kevin Nash would be 6-6.This would also make most of the Divas under 5 feet! I'm sorry but thats just BS. Because how do explain him having 4.5 inches or so on Akebono who is known everywhere for being 6-8 or 6-7 when they were barefoot and with shoe's on. I would also like to point out that Show had basically the same height difference with his shoes on and Akebono being barefoot at the weigh in before Wrestlemania 21. Therefore his boots can only make him an inch taller or less taller. Does anyone agree on any point I've made?

HHH were's lifts to make him 6-4 instead of 6-2 he's not wearing his lifts in that pictures with Starks because if he is Straks would be close to 6-10 instead of 6-7 or 6-8.

I actually disagree because he looked a lot taller than Lashley who's 6-3 and Big Show was standing up that straight. Plus he look taller next to Orton and Henry than Undertaker did he was leaning a lot as well.

With Big Show going to the ECW roster we may finally have Big Show and Singh face off or have a match very soon I think. We may finally get our wish. And also on WWE vs ECW last night Big Show didn't even look as tall as he normally does and that is comparing him to Kurt Angle.

Yokozuna was more 6'1-6'1.5. I remember Lex Luger had him by a good 2 inches. His weight looked pretty legit I tell you. The man never looked under 500lbs. 600lbs or so before he quit WWE and I heard he got up to 700lbs or so when he died. Thats one FAT man.

The top of the guy's head is a fraction of an inch above the very bottom of Big Show's chin. Big Show's beard there isn't long, that's not hair hanging below his chin.

Hey you guys.... in this pic of HHH facing Starks... isn't that the way Big Show looks next to HHH? Time to downgrade Show I believe, it looks like Jason might be right about the 6'8 for Big Show. I personally always thought Show was 6'9 or 6'10, but he looks the same as Starks here.

If that guy is 5'10 then it makes Big Show 6'9.5-6'10. Hes just under Big Show's chin and Big Show's head has gotta be 11 inches. The average man's head is 8'9 inches. Mine is in the 8-9 inch range, gotta check to make sure but I know its anywhere from 8-9 though.

Another Samoan wrestler Yokozuna was billed as 6'4 while he was 2 inches shorter then Lex Luger at Wrestlemania 10. Yoko wresteled barefoot but I dont think luger was 6'4 like they said. Luger was probobly 6'2 1/2 making yokozuna only 6'1. Also many people say that Bret Hart is only 5'11 and Yokozuna actually looked only 1 inch taller then HArt at wrestlemania 10. Yes Yoko was BArefoot but could not have been 6'4. I do think he was over 500lbs. If you guys have wrestlemania 10 try to watch the face off between yoko and luger and remeber that Luger was not 6'4 like the WWE billed him as so how could yoko be 6'4.
