Vegas- Jake though still looks taller than DDP if you google pics of the 2 together and I doubt Diamond Dallas Page is under 6'3.5 today given how he measured up him next to editor rob.

Studd may have been 6'7" ?

weekly wake up call from dreamland guys - Studd was 6'5" tops. He was eye to eye with 6'4 Bill Fralic and noticeably shorter than 6'7" Rick Barry. NBA heights are inflated so Barry could be 6'6". Point is AGAIN that WWE inflates heights and weights. I read an article the other day where it talked about CM Punk losing 3" and 50lbs when joining UFC. The point is they didn't inflate his stats.
Hulk Hogan is MUCH shorter than Peyton Manning, Joe D. and stacks up like a 6'2" guy at best standing next to the likes of Barry Sanders, Todd Chrisley, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Arnold S. and the list goes on and on

Hogan in wrestling boots comes out taller than 6'5.5" HillBilly Jim and 6'5" Barry Windham.
_____________
4minutes 40seconds hogan, jim and windham on video Click Here and its questionable if windham was 6'5 considering he was same height as dustin rhodes.i met rhodes in person and he isn't 6'5. i also met mike rotunda btw a guy wcw billed 6'2 Click Here
james, meltzer has said many times that lister was actually 6'4. i didn't think it was important to bring that up but remember lister didn't look 6'5 next to 5'8 mamun a couple of years ago. regarding roberts, personally i don't think he was more than 6'4. he was shorter than 6'5 fan i met a decade ago and same height as randy orton despite having footwear advantage. jake didn't look 6'5 barefoot next to paul bearer in 1991 as el diablo either

stud in his prime was 6.7.5. to 6-8he told me studd played basketball in high school in butler. my co worker lifted weights with him in butler pa.and was a mountain of a man in the 70's.that makes Hogan 6.6- 6.7. peak, now just under 6-4.

Zeus "Tom Lister" is wearing 1.75" healed (X-Element) motorcycle logger boots in the pic from Survivor Series. Hogan & Lister were pretty much the exact same height. Lister there, is about a 1/2" inch taller...with a 1/2" footwear advantage.

correction-mixed something wrong
Hogan wasn´t in cowboyboots, he was in ~1inch trainers in the pic I posted, Listers boots have a close up when he walks towards Hogan in the movie
So Hogan at 6´5.25" peak is still pretty good, 6´6" out of bed

....
in the "no holds barred" movie lister was wearing platforms but he was noticeably taller than hogan in that
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lister in platformboots was noticable taller than Hogan in cowboyboots Click Here
Lister himself said he and Hogan were legit 6´5" filming the movie and that the bigboots they gave him boosted him to 6´7"
so Lister was probably 6´7"-6´7.5" in them, wich results in a 6´6"-6´6.5" Hogan in ~ 1.5" cowboyboots - they didn´t look like the big heeled
he wore during the eighties
Click Here 1:36 imo Hogans blue movie wrestlingboots don´t look as chunky as the yellow ones at Survivor Series....
Zeus looked 2 inches taller during the inring staredown in the movie...
Only way all adds up logical is either Lister didn´t stand as tall as he could at the Survivorseries staredown or Hogan had inside lift in his yellow boots.

Met Hulk last week at a Japanese steak house in Clear Water Beach super nice guy and for a old guy hes swole. I am a little over 6, 1 and in dress shoes probably close to 6,3 which is what i had on that evening but from the look of him i would guess 6,5 in shoes maybe a hair taller i didn't get pictures because of all the people around but looking him eye to eye he can't be under 6,3 1/2 barefoot i was thinking probably closer to 6,4 he does slouch badly but still a huge man i definitely could see a 6,6 prime but 6,3 flat i just can't see because he had low top shoes on you can't hide lifts in them with shorts

@ John; My citing Hogan's leg length had nothing to do with proving he or anyone with long legs is tall, but that long legs can "look" less bulky than shorter legs even if they are the same or even more in diameter

James B - He was slightly taller than the 6'5" Lister while Tiny was wearing boots with 4 inch soles to boost him up to Hogan height. In other words if some if you couldnt follow, Lister had a 2 inch footwear advantage over Hogan at least, so that is the only reason a 6'5" Lister was eye to eye with the then 6'7" Hogan. It's not hard to figure out or easily explain, same as the 6'7" Sid looking 2 inches taller than men like Hogan who were the same height, Sid's boots had the extra thick heel which boosted him 2 inches more than normal wrestling boots. Just look back at him with the 6'8.5" Undertaker and Sid stood slightly taller in stare downs every time.

@Anonymous Just because you have longer legs than a person, it doesn't always mean that you're taller. Not everyone has the same torso/leg length ratio.

...I disagree about Hogan's legs. In the mid 80's, it seems like his legs were absolutely massive. He was also taller than the Rock, so his legs would look longer, and "look" less massive than the Rock's.

better remembrance of peak Hogan - but that's what YouTube and Google is for right? Lol
Anyway - if someone will show me how to post pics on here - I'd love to post a bunch to back up my statements.
I don't make them lightly without very good proof.

large heels, lifts, thick soles, custom boots. smoke and mirrors, kayfabe, larger than life persona.
kids perspective. All of those things are clouding MOST people on this forums judgement.
There are WAY too many pics that prove this. 6'4" barefoot is TALL guys!! Add normal soled shoes
in the mix and you are over 6'5" and thick soles, lifts etc and you're over 6'6" - then add in WWF kayfabe
"larger than life" exaggeration and you're magically 6'8"

You like to make these statements, yet you've never seen the guy in person, I doubt you were even alive in the 70's and early 80s when Hogan was at his peak. I respect your opinion, but for you to think that you are so right, that there is no reason to discuss Hogans Height any further is delusional.

Dustin- 6'3 is crazy for peak hogan I agree but 6'5.5 is not impossible.
Remember Hogan might have still been at his peak in the early 90s and he did look 1.5 inches shorter than 6'6.5 Sid who big boots boosting him to 6'7.

I looked at alot of 1980's-1990 pictures of Hogan yesterday. In 1990 he looked as tall, if not a bit taller than 6'5" and some change John Tenta/Earthquake. He was considerably taller than guys that were in the 6'1'-6'3" range(Buster Douglas, Christopher Lloyd, Richard Belzar,) 6'6" peak height sounds about right to me. He was also about 1.5 shorter than Sid, which to me fits the 6'7" Sid with suspect boots. The talk of Hogan never being over 6'3" and never lost height is ridiculous.

I think a strong 6'5 peak makes more sense. I mean a full 3 inches is a lot to lose at only 62 cause even clint Eastwood did not lose that much when he was hogans age.
However if hogan really was 6'6 and he has indeed lost 3 inches then he is going to have serious problems with his health in the next 20 years (if he lives that long) if he keeps losing more height.
I think these are the problems that exceptionally tall people face as they age.

I believe that Hogan was not a naturally large framed man. I think he worked very hard (or took substances) to get to the size he was back in the 1980s because if you look at him in wcw he actually looked quite slim. In the 2000s and today he looks heavier.

Guys, Terry was indeed anywhere from 290-310 lbs from 1979-1989 !!! Fact!!! And was 6'5.5" in his physical prime. Just look how much larger Terry was in the ring beside of 6'3" & 250 lbs James "Buster" Douglas!! Buster in his prime fought @ 235-242 lbs...but in the off season was 250 plus...before he let himself go & eventually ended up well north of 300 lbs. Douglas who was a legit 6'3" was about 247-250 that night he reffed the Match With Hogan & Savage. Hogan had him by a solid 3" in height...now, I know Hogan more than likely had a 1/2" footwear advantage ...so, let's say it's 2.5" if both men were barefooted...he was also visibly an easy 50-60 lbs heavier than Douglas...just go back & look at the pics & youtubes of that match. This is by far the best judgement of Hogan's true Size in the late 80's...he was a legit 6'5" to 6'5.5" & 300 lbs that night next to the 6'3" & 250 lbs Douglas. And that was a 35, 36 year old Hogan...28-33 year old Hogan was even about 10-15 lbs heavier than He was at 34-37 years old. Fact! Fact! Fact!
So we are to believe that the biggest name in this business was billed lighter than his real weight? yeah good luck with that one! BTW Tyson was always listed 5'11 1/2 but his real height was 5'10 (according to himself) so i wouldnt use the listed 6'3 for Buster Douglas for a comparison... 6'1-6'2 is more likely. You clearly cant judge neither heights or weights.
6'4 and 270 lbs peak - EOD
_________________________________________________________________
For a while Hogan was billed at 6'8" and 320lbs. While weight can be hard to guess, I'd bet he was really in the 290-300 lb range during that time, and based on what I saw in 1980 he looked 6'5 to 6'5.5".

So straightahead writes after his last post end of discussion, sorry pal but only the site moderator decides if a discussion ends and news flash, you are not him nor are you God as it would seem you believe lol. Why is it not possible they would bill Hogan lighter? He was 320 plus right up until the late eighties easily. As for your question why, think for a minute. If you want the guys like Bundy, Earthquake, Kamala etc to be the huge monsters that make Hogan seem superhuman defeating you cannot lost their actual weights. Hogan was 330, if you then announce Bundy at his true weight just above 400 the difference isn't so much. But when you have Bundy come out at 440, and then Gorilla tells you he must he almost 500 with them listing Hogan just above 300 it seems overwhelming! Hogan was 6'7" barefoot, I saw him back then and he was much taller then he is now. I met him in 2014, he was over 6'4" easily still then. He weighs just under 300 now, and his legs are way smaller than they were back then, and his arms are not nearly as bulky as well. As for the never had 24 inch arms stories, his arms are over 20 inches now, and he is over 60 years old so how can you not think he had 24 inch arms?? If some want to say he was closer to 6'6" like Rob then so be it, no point arguing over an inch. But these 6'3-4" peak and 260 lb posts are just plain ignorant and rediculous lol

Edmeister,
Just watched the '92 Royal Rumble. Berzerker & Hogan looked pretty close to the same height & weight. They are within a 1/2" of each other assuming equal footwear. I did Notice that Sid looked about a 1/2" to 3/4" taller than The Undertaker
___________________________________________________________________________________
UUhhmmm WHAT?? Where can you compare Sid to Undertaker in 1992 Royal Rumble or is that a typo.
In the 1992 msg battle royal beginning Sid confronts the Undertaker and Taker looks taller but is closer to the camera, Sid had no full 1.5" heels
I doubt he had footwear-advantage over Taker.

I did Notice that Sid looked about a 1/2" to 3/4" taller than The Undertaker ...but, Sid was in huge heeled boots. They looked to have a 1.5" thick lift on the back heel....which would make his total height boost 2.5" from barefoot height ... Taker's where the standard 1.25" back then. WWF/WWE was pushing Sid as the next new big Man back then tho! So, whenever they do that...that particular wrestler will always start wearing bigger healed footwear to be taller & give. Larger & more intimidating prescence in the ring & interviews. Heck, they even did that with Seth Rollins when he won the World Title. He wins the title, and the very next Monday Night RAW he's in footwear that give him an additional 1" boost in height from his former footwear.

There´s no point in the battle royal where Hogan is clearly taller.

There's this video on YouTube regarding a battle Royal in msg in 1992. In this match you'll find hogan, taker, sid, bezeker and the warlord. Cleary shows hogan being bigger then the bezerker. Don't know what his size is.

Guys, Terry was indeed anywhere from 290-310 lbs from 1979-1989 !!! Fact!!! And was 6'5.5" in his physical prime. Just look how much larger Terry was in the ring beside of 6'3" & 250 lbs James "Buster" Douglas!! Buster in his prime fought @ 235-242 lbs...but in the off season was 250 plus...before he let himself go & eventually ended up well north of 300 lbs. Douglas who was a legit 6'3" was about 247-250 that night he reffed the Match With Hogan & Savage. Hogan had him by a solid 3" in height...now, I know Hogan more than likely had a 1/2" footwear advantage ...so, let's say it's 2.5" if both men were barefooted...he was also visibly an easy 50-60 lbs heavier than Douglas...just go back & look at the pics & youtubes of that match. This is by far the best judgement of Hogan's true Size in the late 80's...he was a legit 6'5" to 6'5.5" & 300 lbs that night next to the 6'3" & 250 lbs Douglas. And that was a 35, 36 year old Hogan...28-33 year old Hogan was even about 10-15 lbs heavier than He was at 34-37 years old. Fact! Fact! Fact!

With 6'3.25 Rock bossman does not look anything less than 6'5 here
Bossman was tops 1 inch taller than Sting(who claimed "almost 6'2" in a tv show) , and he was also a tad shorter than the 6'3 Ottman (Tugboat/Typhoon), add to this, that Bossman weared heeled boots, so he was about same height as the Rock - tops.
So you saying then bossman wore 3 inch heeled boots? I find that hard to believe.

@RP - you're living in an alternate kayfabe reality dude. Hulk was NEVER 6'5" and certainly never 300lbs.
Well, he might has been very close to 6'5 peak but indeed there was no way he was 300 lbs. A legit 300 lbs Hogan would had been billed to 330 or maybe even 350 but that wasnt the case like we all know, he was a legit 270 at the very most.

Wikepedia can be edited by anyone who wants to spend the time. I have a friend who has "corrected" many mistakes on a TV series listing. Back to Wayne's height. 6'2 is just too small for him. He just carries himself like a bigger guy, in my opinion.

JT: To be fair, I said "about" 6'7". I guess I should have made myself more clear. He's at least a solid 6'6"(6'6.5"). I see less than an inch between them. The difference in eye level is exaggerated by the tilt of Studd's head. If he raised his head slightly, his eye's would be more level with Barry's. Also, Studd's hair wasn't as "poofy" as some people might think.

____________
That is not true at all. There have been numerous studies done on W's (can't mention their name apparently...) accuracy. I remember reading about a study that showed that it is very close to as accurate as the Encyclopedia Britannica when comes to history articles. The fact is that most of what one reads on that site is accurate, especially when it comes to more scholarly topics (i.e. WWII; not Hulk Hogan's true height...). I'm not saying it is 100% accurate or even quite as accurate as Encyclopedia Britannica, but to say all their info is almost entirely speculation is just not true at all.

That site is based on facts? Hardly. It's edited by the general public, meaning anyone can put anything on there. The site will request that you post where you got the information sometimes, but it is not considered to be a very accurate source because of the way it gets it's information. And I've never heard of anyone being measured to get their driver's license. They put down what you tell them in every state I've lived in and that's quite a few.

Hulk Hogan nephew Horus was built at 6'3". Hulk was just a tad taller. So given that Hulk Hogan would have been 6'4" in his WCW days . When he went up against Kevin Nash there he only appeared to be three inches shorter . But take a look at his boots they appear to be puffed up around the ankle area. Which indicates he's probably wearing shoe lifts. He probably realized at that point that the crowd simply wasn't buying he was 6'7".

I watched Barry play b-ball on TV back in the 1970s. He was always referred to as 6’7” Barry and 6’10” George Mikan, who of course is the same height as The Giant Studd.... Click Here (~2 degree camera tilt in favor of Mikan).
Studd reportedly played in a few celebrity golf tournaments with Kevin McHale and Michael Jordan. Assuming they exist, pics from those events would probably prove quite revealing as well.

I ran into Randy Savage and Sting at a gym in Bloomington, MN back around 1995 or 1996. I'm 5'10", and to be honest, I thought he looked like he could have been an inch or so shorter than me, even. Not as big as I was expecting. Didn't even recognize Sting out of his makeup. "Who was that guy w/ Randy Savage?" "Duh, that was Sting." My estimates were 5'9"-5'10", 205bs for Savage, 6'3" or 6'4", 240lbs for Sting.

I just can't buy Hulk at anything over 6'5/6.5.5 at his tallest. Studd was barely over 6'6 and looked to have an inch on the guy, Sid and Taker both had an easy 2 inches on him and they were never over 6'7. He never had the full head required on Mene Gene either. Don't get me wrong I really like Hogan, but I'm not buying him being closer to 7 foot than 6.
He's still 6'4 today though after his recent back surgeries which have corrected his spine. He has 2' on Sting, and is barely shorter than 6'5 Abyss.

no matter which way you cut it Sid is a larger man than Hulk Hogan . At 6'7" his father was approximately 2 inches taller. Then mean Gene who at the very best is 5'8" Hulk Hogan was approximately 7 inches taller than his father. Which once again brings us right back to 6'5". There is absolutely no way on gods green earth that Hulk Hogan was ever any more at least not barefoot .

Hogan's father was 5'11" and his mother was a larger taller woman as well, where do you get 5'8" for his Dad?? Both of his brothers were over 6'6", that didn't come from small parents.

Savage was over 6'1" and you can verify that from his baseball stats, Studd was 6'9" and so was Sid. Poor examples to use, the only site that lists these men at the lower heights out of the hundreds is this one lol

Hogan with his parents in the early 1980s. Click Here Hogan’s parents were no more than Mean Gene’s height (~ 5’8"). Click Here I’m sure that’s exactly how a 6’8” (or 6’7” or 6’6”) NBA player would have looked standing next to his folks....

well Ronster . The facts are simply the facts Hulk Hogan stood 6'5" 295 pounds just look at the picture that Vegas has posted each and every time Hulk Hogan has come up against anybody who is a legitimate 6'7" He's come up with the short end of the stick by an absolute minimum of 1.5 inches . Not only that he simply doesn't have the frame of a big John Studd or Sid. sure his arms were at least 22 inches in diameter if not more . His matches with wrestlers such as Randy Savage who was billed at 6'2" in reality is only 5'11" so of course going by that allusion Hulk Hogan would have been 6'8" I don't think many people realize just how massive 295 pounds of solid muscle on a 6'5" frame would be.

Stone, you just showed that you do not read well! You go on to say I said he was 6'9" ad 340lbs, I said he was billed at 6'9" and stood that tall in his boots, and yes he was intue 330-340lb range in the 70's into the early 80's and anyone can see that looking at pics of him with Freddie Blassie! His legs were huge and noticeably larger than even in te late eighties. Stop trying to confuse or manipulate my posts to try and legitify your baseless crap!

Doesn’t even look 6’5” here although I’ll give him at least that for peak height. Click Here Click Here
Click Here Masked Superstar is no more than 6’1”, Atlas 6’2” and Sheik 5’11” and Hogan’s closer to the camera than at least Atlas and Sheik.
Hogan in cowboy boots from 1989 with 6’3” (per Rob) Kurt Fuller Click Here
This gives a rough idea how a peak Hogan and Taker would have measured up Click Here
Gorilla Monsoon was no 6’6” either. He looked in the 6’3” range in the mid to late 1980s (around age 50) and was probably a little taller in his younger days. Dave Winfield here Click Here was listed at 6’6” in baseball but looked around 6’5” with ~ 6’7.5” Magic Johnson

Go to the impact wrestling web site and look at the photo of Stinger ad Hogan standing side by side, you can see both footwear which is equal and stance which shows Hogan even bending and leaning slightly. Hogan has minimum 3-4 inches on the 6'3"( I know you all say he's 6'2") Sting. Forget all your rent a center ads, Spivey or Sid BS and explain how Hogan after loosing at least 2 inches of height still stands at least 6'5" which this picture clearly shows and somehow you claim he was never more than 6'5"??? You Stone an others are living in a dream world, of course now you will all gang up on Sting and say he must only be 6' max now!!! LMFAO

Ronster you're living in a little dream world first of all. Who ever listed Hulk Hogan at 6'6". Was the most closest to being correct Zeus was actually slightly larger than Hulk Hogan in the muscle department . Now as far as the heights as the others you mentioned the undertaker was 6 feet 7 1/2 inches in his prime Sid was 6'7" in his prime and Kevin Nash was 6'9" in his prime for you to be saying Hulk Hogan was 6'9" 340 pounds IS SIMPLY RIDICULOUS!

Duhon says; Hogan being listed at 6'6" on this likely early 80's wrestling poster with andre. That poster, and it's the only one with him listed at 6'6" has been used by all the doubters and haters on here forever. It is just a poster, obviously the person who made it made a mistake which does happen! I see they got his weight right though at 330lbs. For that one and only poster there are 1000 others that have him anywhere from 6'7" to 6'9", and by far most until he went to WCW had him at 6'8" tall. Another fact, look at any picture or video of Sid Eugey and Undertaker or Nash when he was diesel and Sid is equal in height to the undisputed 6'9" minimum Taker and within 2 inches of the 6'11" Nash. So all the 6'7" or lower claims for him are totally proven wrong right there. As for Sid's height today i am not sure, he is over 50 and tall men especially one's nearly 7' like him do loose at least an inch by their 50's to 60's but he was undoubtebly 6'9" or just a hair under in his prime when he faced Hogan and the other big guys.

Hogan was billed at 158KG in England in a match he hyad where Miss Elizabeth was his manager. Do the math folks, thats just over 347lbs! Hogan dwarfed 6'3-6'5 men who weighed 250-300lbs in the 70's and 80's when he was still on the juice. His arms were measured in his early days at 26", and he was commonly referred to as 340lbs back then. Look at pictures of him with Tony Lister (Zues) and see how he was bigger in mass than Lister by a bit who was a legit 300lb man, and who wore huge lifts in his boots with thicker heels to get him an extra 3-4 inches so he would look slightly taller than Hogan at the time - Lister was 6'5" and Hogan 6'7" and they had to make him look bigger than Hogan if possible, Mcmahon said it in an interview i watched years ago.

I have been in obsessive wrestling fan since 1983. Which was the first time I saw him although I was just a little kid. My cousin who is 6'2" always used to be able to obtain, front row seats. He had been a Hulk Hogan fan since the first day he was made public. And each and every time he told me he stood 6'5" . When I seen him in his absolute prime he was 6'5" 295 pounds there is a possibility at times he was 6 feet 5 1/2 inch depending on his footwear BAREFOOT Hulk Hogan wasn't the thickness of a hair over 6'5

I saw that video several months ago, Scott Hall was simply going with the build hight of Hulk Hogan at the time which was 6'8" 303 pounds and the ultimate warrior is 6 feet 1 1/2 inches.
____________________
No he wasn't. He and Hogan worked together closely for years in WWF, WCW, WWF (early 2000s) and TNA. Why would he be going off the billing of a man who he knows so well? Plus, he claimed Hogan was 320lbs-330lbs in that video. That wasn't his billing in 1990. Warrior was billed at 6'3" in the WWF and that's the height he claims for himself. Lastly, there is no way Hogan lost an inch of height by 1992. He was 37 years old and had no serious injuries that would've caused him to shrink. He was still a very solid 6'5" by 1992.

For the young "kids" on here who obviously never really watched wrestling in the eighties when Hogan was over 6'7" tall and well over 300lbs i will enlighten you. Gorilla Monsoon who was a legit 6'6" man was 2-3" shorter than Hogan in every interview they did and he referred to Hogan as 6'9" tall consistently throughout the years of Hulkamania, that is why Nash thought Hogan was 6'9", where he getas 6'4" is beyond me, he was 6'11" in WCW days and hogan was within 4 inches of him easily. Scott Hall said in a shoot interview when they came back to the WWE in 2001 that Hogan was 6'6" so there goes any reliability in what these guys say. Until one of you doubters gets Hogan himself and a tape measure nothing you say to try and belittle his height and until you get him on a scale his weight will ever be believable. Hogan dwarfed 250-300lb and 6'3-6'5" men all the time in his prime in and outside of the ring, so how anyone can even say with a straight face let alone expect to be taken seriously when they try and say he was never over 6'5" or 295lbs is beyond me. I guess a lot of you are like some kids, you think if you just keep saying it long enough people will believe it LOL.

And then there are people like you, who want their idols to be larger than life and even exagerrate their already exagerrated physical stats. You claim Hogan was 6'8", 340lbs, even though he got 6'6" and 6'7" billings in the late 70's and never has he been billed as high as 340lbs in his entire career.
Oh YES HE HAS. He has been billed at 339 pounds in other promotions in his earlier days, as well as many 305, 310, 320, 325 and 330 pounds billings.

...I really don't know what to say about this guy. If he really did start out at 6'7, man...he's lost alot of height because he looks nowhere near that, at least not for decades. All I know is, younger fans of wrestling may be used to all the gimmicks and intros now...but nobody has ever rocked the house like Hogan did, when he'd come out back in the mid to late 80's. Love him or hate him, at his peak, he got crowds going like no one has ever done before or since. In fact, I actually laugh out loud when I see guys like Cena come out with that ridiculous music...saluting, doing that frantic little "you can't see me" gesture and stomping in dressed like some insecure kid from the ghetto trying to be cool. Sure, Hogan became a caricature. But in those peak years, he ran the show like no one else.

It's sad that so many people on this site use height cutting as a way to get back at tall/big guys they hated in highschool. I've read height cutters on here claim that Jorge Gonzalez was 7'5" when he was measured at 7'7 1/4" by the Guiness Book of World Records in 2000. I went to my library to verify it to myself. There are people on here that claim that Shaq was 6'10" peak when he was measured at 7'1" BAREFOOT in pre draft measurement. Guiness would have measured him @ 7'1 2/3" because they do it after a good night sleep.
And then there are people like you, who want their idols to be larger than life and even exagerrate their already exagerrated physical stats. You claim Hogan was 6'8", 340lbs, even though he got 6'6" and 6'7" billings in the late 70's and never has he been billed as high as 340lbs in his entire career. Even the pic you posted that should proof Hogan was this 6'8", 340lbs Mountain of a Man, was from a match where he was billed 295lbs in a promotion that billed him as 6'7".
And why don't you go back to your library and make a copy of Jorge Gonzalez 7'7 1/4" listing in Guinness, as for 6 years I've been waiting for someone to post that proof. I have a copy of Gonzalez listing in a Dutch Guinness Book of Records from the late 90's and they list him as 229cm.

Sid was 6'7" and he had an absolute minimum of 2 inches possibly 2 1/2 inches on Hulk Hogan in 1992 at wrestlemania8 although I do believe Hulk Hogan had shrunk about an inch by 1992 if this match had happened in 1987 rather than 1992 Sid will probably edged Hulk Hogan out by 1 1/2 inch. Since Sid boots are slightly thicker than Hulk Hogans

6 ft 7 and a quarter in shoes maybe peak. I doubt he was anything over 6'6" barefoot.
If his boots only gave him 1 1/4". When he was 6'6" flat and he wore his cowboy boots, he was easily 6'8".

Sid Eugey's son who is on big brother stated while talking to one of the other contestants stated his Dad is 6'9", which is what he was commonly listed at and clearly stood as he equalled the Undertaker in height when they squared off in the 90's.
__________
A mugshot of Sid from the mid 2000s that was recently posted proved that Sid is currently 6'6" barefoot. That is a fact. He was billed at 6'7" in WCW and other companies. That is a fact. Sid was never over 6'7" and was clearly taller than Hogan by at least an inch. So you are the one denying the truth. It's obvious that Hogan was a solid 6'5", like 6'5.5" and Sid was ~6'7" in his prime.

….I've actually been told by my friend B.Duncan who works with WWE medical & nutrition dept in Tampa, FL since 2004. And he said that Terry's is actually almost a full inch taller on one leg than the other now due to the hip replacement & later on scar tissue removals. He claims Terry "Hulk" is about 6'4.5" on his good leg/hip. And just a little over 6'3" on the bad leg/hip. And I believe this after whatching Hogan closely over the past couple years. He looks barely 6'3" when leaning on that bad hip...but, when he shifts his weight to his good leg/hip & stands completely straight, he looks well over 6'4" & looks as tall as the 6'5" guys in the biz & other celebs
Sorry, not buying it. Click Here Click Here The hip prosthetic is carefully measured so the patient does not end up with a leg length discrepancy. If Hogan’s affected leg ended up that much shorter, he would have sued his orthopedic surgeon for malpractice and he definitely would not be wearing flip-flops. Even if you want to believe this story, Hogan would have shoes with a special insert or an extra large sole so as to equate the leg length or he would have already undergone a revision surgery to correct the discrepancy. If you want to know what someone with a one inch leg length discrepancy would actually look like, try walking around with a dress shoe on one foot only and see how long you last.

Henry points out the obvious truth easily again, how do you explain away all the pictutres of Hogan from the 80's having 4-5 inches on Douglas, 6 inches on Ali, so on and so forth Vegas? As for Hogan being 6'3" at 17, he easily could grow another 4-5 inches in the next 4 years. Medical fact; humans contuinue to grow into their early 20's and he obviously had another spurt. Teens of all different ages grow 3-6 inches or more sometimes in a single year! So enough estimates Stone, Hogan was over 6'7", dropped down between 6'4-5" and is now a little over 6'5" after his latest corrective back surgery. It is easy to sit around now that he really is 6'5" and say he was never any taller without a shred of proof, all the pictures which outnumber the davidson one's 100-1 show how he clearly was 6'7" minimum before the bumps took their toll on his back, hips and legs. Every reliable and unbiased source including google on the internet list his height at 6'7", only here does this site's administrator try and lower practically every single celebrities height by anywhere from 2-4 inches. Hulk Hogan a giant of a man!
Trash!!! . There is no way he could have grown any more than 2 inches if he was only 6'3" at the age of 17 Hulk Hogan stood 6'5" in his prime. Which should be good enough for anybody . I've seen him several times during the 1980s and I can tell you for a fact he stood no more than 6'5" .

Terry has an August birthday. Meaning, he was 16 his entire JR of HS...17 his entire SR year. And would have turned 18 about two months after June graduation. So, very believable Terry went from 6'3" at 16 to a weak 6'6" or 6'5.5" at 18. It's rare... But does happen more often then you think. My cousin Seth was only 5'7" at 16 and he shot up to 5'9" by the time he was 18. And actually keep growing til about 19. He topped out at 5'10" by age 20. We had a few guys in HS who grew 2-3 inches from age 16-18.

The man was a beast, he was for sure 6'5.5 or even 6'6 at his peak.
In 2006 however, he was already an hair shorter than David Hasselhoff (who is 193cm).
Looks 6'3 today, maybe 192cm if he's lucky, he seriously lost a lot of height.
He sure did. Not over a flat 6'3" though today. Was barely taller than the Rock who we have at 6'2.5" and that was 10 years ago!! 3" height loss since 1990...

Nice story RP, having a shorter leg could be a reason for Hogans suspect footwear in the ring over the last years - but who knows...
Hogans evening peak was 6´5" flat imo, he was a little bit shorter than 6´5.75" John Tenta - don´t care about the biased comparisons showing Hogan taller.
6´3" at his lowest today
I don´t think Hillbilly Jim was a legit 6´5" regarding evening height- more like 6´4.25"-6´4.5" - He cared always about looking as tall as possible.
Whatever Hillbilly was, Hogan had 1" on him. Fast forward to the early 2000's, we have proof that Hillbilly had 2" on Hogan (the pics are for all to see on Hibilly's site) and that was before Hogan's multiple and hip replacements. We also have a pic of Hillbilly and John Tenta side by side (also on Hilbilly's site), where Hillbilly edges John out. We never did see a 1980 Hogan fight John Tenta, did we?

Coming from you Danimal. You practically live on this site and take everything that people say literally. You have no reason to call me bizarre. I was simply implying how dramatic Hogan's height loss is. Your just a messed up keyboard warrior with nothing better to do than insult people

Hogan looked every bit of 6'6 or at least 6'5 1/2 back in the day. Today he looks no more than 6'3 if even that

Nice story RP, having a shorter leg could be a reason for Hogans suspect footwear in the ring over the last years - but who knows...
Hogans evening peak was 6´5" flat imo, he was a little bit shorter than 6´5.75" John Tenta - don´t care about the biased comparisons showing Hogan taller.
6´3" at his lowest today
I don´t think Hillbilly Jim was a legit 6´5" regarding evening height- more like 6´4.25"-6´4.5" - He cared always about looking as tall as possible.
Peak Andre looks about 6´11" evening height (7´0.5"-7´1" right out of bed).
old Andre always looked 6´10" - had more height over Tyler Mane than a peak Nash.

Hulk Hogan was never anymore then 6'5
He had 1" on 6'5"+ Hilbilly Jim. Was 2" shorter than 6'8" Ben Davidson (exact same footwear). Had 4" on 6'2" Ed Leslie.
_________________
So Leslie and Vince McMahon were both 6'2"? This video proves that Vince was a couple inches shorter than Leslie. It's obvious.
Click Here
Pause at 3:02
Pause at 4:06 and see Vince standing with reaching for the stars posture and Beefcake has his head tilted down looking DOWN at Vince. Guess that's because they're the same height...
Pause at 4:39 for the ultimate proof that Leslie was about 2" taller than your supposedly 6'2" Vince McMahon.
Let me repeat that both men had virtually the same footware and yet Beefcake was clearly a few inches taller. My personal opinion is that Vince was 6'1" at the most and Beefcake was ~6'3". But this video should show that you can't have it both ways. You can't have McMahon and Beefcake both at 6'2". It's ridiculous.

All o the posters on here who claim with no proo or even a reasonable argument that Hogan was never over 6'6" and is not over 6'4" now are the same people who try and lower every other tall celebrities heights on this site. What amuses me most is how they all gang up on anyone who writes or posts photos that clearly show the truth, Hogan was well over 6'7" barefoot until he was around 40-45. There are 10 photos clearly showing how he was consistently 4-6" taller than 6'3 plus men, and all you can do then is claim he had lits on or you then start trying to lower the height o the person he was with LOL. His wrestling boots were no better than any pair of sneakers for added height and he was then over 6'9" with those on. A true giant of a man who has lost 2-3 inches o height and now ater some corrective surgeries is standing 6'5". As or the Aikman pics, anyone with a working set of eyes and no bias can see that Troy stands straight as an arrow while Hogan is always leaning to his one side due to a bad hip and has his knees bent slightly at all times, this along with the fact that Troy wears big thick soled sneakers which give him a bit more than Hogan's shoes would. And Aikman has lost no height, he is a solid 6'4.5" man. There are a few scenes where i you watch Hogan straightens up and has an inch on Troy, but the nay sayers will never admit to that!

Oh brother...here we go again.. Henry, wrestlers are not their billed heights. Hogan was never over 6'6" barefoot (maybe first thing in the morning). If he was a legit 6'8" barefoot, he would have had at least 1" on 6'7" (max) Big John Studd and he didn't. Studd actually slightly edged him out and that was PEAK Hogan.

Known Terry (Hulk Hogan) for about 35yrs and he was every bit of 6'7". He had a Lincoln Town car that he had to customize to get the seat to go back an extra foot or so. The seat actually laid-up against the back seat. I haven't seen him, in person, in years now and I had no idea he shrunk to such a extent. I wish him well.because the wrestlers around here (which are many) are dying at too fast a rate. They were tough on themselves.

Hogan is 6'3 right now, he's just using boots+lifts there with 5'11 Bobby Roode.
I agree. 6'6" peak. 6'3" today (at best). A cool 3" height loss due to multiple surgeries, crippling arthritis/scoliosis and and age.

Hogan is shorter than Aikman. What do you not comprehend about that? BTW, Vince McMahon was 6'2".

You might be right about Hogan being shorter than Aikman. I would love to see them in a staredown. I bet they would be eye to eye if Hogan stood as absolutely straight as he can. The bottom line is, Hogan at your 6'2.5" is too low. That would put Bobby Roode at ~5'9.5".Hogan was actually about 5" taller. I'm pretty sure Aikman was measured at 6'4.25" in his prime. I doubt he's under 6'4" now. The shortest I would give Hogan is 6'3.5".
As for VM having been 6'2" in his prime...no way Jose. I could go ahead and re-post a mountain of evidence to prove this, but I really don't feel like it.

6'4.75 listed Barkley would have been be over 6'7 for Hulk to be anywhere near 6'6.
Barkley in reality was closer to 6'6, but that in itself still puts Hulk at MAX 6'5.

Hogan with 6'8 Davidson and & and 6'5 Carey. Hogan is slightly behind both Davidson and Carey are closer to the camera and Hogan still looks every bit of 6'6. Carey has smaller soles than Hogan and Davidson but is the closest man to the camera followed by Davidson than Hogan.

In his boots and at his peak, Hulk could have plausibly hit the 6'8" mark. I've seen Richard Beltzer in person and even in his sixties he still looks a bit over the 6 foot mark.

Henry: Hulk Hogan stated in a video interview that he was measured by his mother in his prime at 6'7" barefoot. Yet you insist that he is lying to make himself seem shorter. We all know Hulk is such a humble guy... Mean Gene, Jim Ross, and Eric Bischoff claim him to be this height 6'7". He was billed as low as 6'6" in his prime and was clearly at least 1" shorter than 6'7" billed Sid Justice. He was several inches shorter than legit 6'8" Ben Davidson.

Hulk was ~6'6" and 290-300lbs(295lbs)
Now he is ~6'4" and 250-265lbs(260lbs) with the majority of weight loss resulting from the deterioration of his lower body.

Yes Henry, James Douglas was avery big man! Atleast 6'3"....pushing 6'4" I've heard 6'3.5" barefoot. And he fighting weight was 240 to 250. His offseason weight was 260 plus, before he became diabetic & baloon'd over 300lbs after his career ended. He looked to be right at 250 when he ref'd the Hulkster's match in 1989.

Hulk is one of those weird ones to place his height accurately both during his prime and now. The problem is that he rarely, especially today, stands straight. He's always has bent knees and hips, neck slightly forward, slouching even. On the rare occasion that he does stand straight, it's obvious how tall the man truly is, such as during matches while in his prime he would stand completely straight, point a finger at his opponent, it was then that it was best to estimate his peak height. As for today, His height varies between just under 6'4" to 6'5" depending on his posture, peak height was 6' 6"

Anyone check out the Aikman/Hogan links I posted? It's pretty clear they're about the same height when both have the same posture. I would bet if Hogan were measured today with perfect posture, he would be in the 6'4" range. He just comes across as being 6'3" or so because his posture is usually really bad. In his prime, he was about 6'6".

Vegas: Just because edge has to have another surgery, that doesn't mean he'll end up anywhere near as bad as Hogan. Only time will tell, but if he stays out of the ring, I'd bet the house that Edge will be just fine. He may be limited physically, but he went be walking around like an 90 year old man and unable to straighten his legs. Edge's problems were caused by wrestling. I think Hogan's were caused by steroid abuse.

The reason I say 6'3 is because he had an inch or so on Sting, I've stood right next to sting ringside (in 03) and he looked a solid 6'2, Still looks it today.
Hogan was taller than sting, Bully ray, James storm and bobby rood, If he could stand tall he may reach 6'4 but I dont think he physically can, He could be as low as 6'2 like Danimal says.
He was leaning slightly to one side and seemed to have very tilted pelvis, When he took his shirt off it was a sad sight.
I totally agree with Danimal about his slim hips.
I dont think I've ever seen a person walking without a cane or crutches in such a bad physical state, I have no problems seeing MASSIVE height loss from Hogan.
There is no way he's over 6'4 today, Its sad to say but I cant see the man walking for much longer, with his hair and strange proportions he had the Michael Jackson way to much surgery not quite human look to him.
Seeing the younger guys in great shape in the ring next to him only made it seem worse, as a 25yr wrestling fan I couldn't help but look at the younger guys with a sense of sadness seeing what the future holds for most old wrestlers.

I don't think Hogan wears cowboy boots anymore. Haven't seen them since the mid nineties. I think he sticks to wearing Nikes because of his back issues. I think it safe to say Hogan is curently 6'4. Anything under this is out of the question. I think Hogan gets asked about his shoe advantage because Matthew Stadlen Claims to be 6'4 and Hogan is taller.

That guy he went back to back with claims to be 6'4"? Hogan was clearly at least an inch taller. Then again he's at least 2" taller than 6'2" Sting so it doesn't surprise me.

I saw him up close (for the first time ever) at the Nottingham FM Arena as he went in, he was NOT short. He is somewhere between 6'3 and 6'4. Rob has him bang on.

Yea but the Mr.T hogan pic is from the Richard Belzer late night Incident? ok what belzer is 6 even? 6'1'' tops ( bein generous )?? watch that on youtube where hogan pulls Belzers punk card for mocking Rasslin... they r only a few inches apart and hogan is wearing huge old nike lifts
_______________
Only a few inches apart...If by a few, you mean ~5" then yes a few. Hogan didn't have a footware advantage either.
Hogan was 6'5.5"-6'6" in his prime and is ~6'4" now.

One question to JT. You are very active her and posting a lot, but what was Hogans peak height right out of bed according to you?
Right out of bed? Maybe 6'5.5" or so and then around 6'5" at midday. I'd never bet against Hogan at one time hitting 6'6" at midday but just don't believe he was ever that tall.
There are plenty of pics out there of 6'6" basketball players with guys of known height and Hogan never came across as a legit 6'6" to me. Compare how Hogan measured up to mean gene with 6'4.5"/6'5" Bill Fralic and gene Click Here and charles barkley and gene Click Here Rob has Barkley at 6'4 3/4", which is too low. He is around 6'6" but no taller.

Here is Hogan with 5'9 Sam worthington. Ad you can see the height range changes depending on the angle of photo. Also is Worthington with 6'1 Jon Favreau. Worthington and Favreau don't look 4 inches apart. I said this before and I will say it again. I live in Tampa and have met Hogan numerous times. I am 6'2 and he is taller than me. I don't know exactly how much taller but I would guess 2 to 3 inches. You can not judge people's height of photos.san-diego-comic-con/page/2

Something is odd with all these heights. Here is 6'5 Howie Long and 6'4 Troy Aikman. Long is clearly has over 2 inches on him. That makes Troy 6'3 or shorter. Hogan must be 6'1 or shorter which I know is not true. I think unless you personally measure these guys bare foot you will never know there true heights. emmy06sports/portraits/pages/2126_0983.htm

Troy Aikman is 6'4. Not 6'5 or 6'6. That simply means that Hulk Hogan is clearly shorter than 6'4.

The shot you posted seems to have been cut out of the original episode though.
Hogan looks kinda short next to McGinley. McGinley is ~5'11" judging from Married with Children. I think the photo gives a skewed result. McGinley was 1-2 inches shorter than Ed O'Neill. O'Neill looked around 2-3 inches shorter than King Kong Bundy and Bundy was around 1-2 inches shorter than Hogan.

Rob do you really think Hulk was a legitimate flat 6'6 in his prime?
He did regularly claim 6'7, but maybe that was in his wrestling boots?
Every photo/video I've seen posted on here over the last 5 years points to him being closer to 6'5 than 6'6 and most likely bang down the middle at 6'5.5.
Next to Sid who you have listed at 6'7 on here, he looked a solid 2 inches shorter in 1991, and he was only 38 years old at that time.
I think you have his present height bang on by the way, just not sure on that 6'6 peak.

Can't imagine Nash ever being 6'10.
Maybe in his prime he might have hit 6'10 out of bed, but he has always looked 6'9 from his early WCW days all the way to late 11'.

Want to make a follow up to Chuck Whepner's claim. Chuck has a grudge against Stallone & has said a lot of things vs Sly in the past. And, actually about 5 years ago in 2006 when Rocky Balboa was released Chuck was talking about his match with Andre in an interview and refered to Andre as being 7'ft tall & 430 lbs. So, who knows with this guy?
