I've met him. He's a big dude. No doubt about 6-5 and about 3 bills. However, I've also met several basketball players, other wrestlers and football players. The biggest, not fat dudes that I've ever been around were Paul Wight (The Big Show) and Jahidi White (former Hoya center and Washington Wizard).

Have to go with 6'6" 320-330 for Samuelsson in 2007. He was realitevly skinny when he started in thew mid 90'ies but man he filled out.
The Ben said on 1/Jan/12
6'6 and 380 LBS, Doesn't look a million miles away from a peak weight hogan, I can easily see him being within 50 pounds.

Lol at Nash being eye to eye with 6'11 Wight. Wight made Nash look 6'8 in that old WCW clip.
Shaun said on 30/Dec/11
330 pound + is as exaggerated as the 7 foot tall monster billing he had. Ferrigno was never 330 pounds or more in reality.
Shaun said on 30/Dec/11
Ferrigno over 330 pounds?? Even Magnus Samuelsson at his heaviest isn't much more than that. He was usually around 285 during competition. The heaviest I ever read for him in off season was 318. Generally he was around 280 which is still enormous.

He looked really tall next to andre the giant. He is my favourite wrestler of all time. I grew up with him. I liked it when he ripped his singlet. That was awesome. He is ripped. I think after all the surgery he would lose a couple of inches. I hope to meet him one day. 192cm is about right.

Its really hard to tell weights, I could see hogan up over 260, I just know to many guys who are around 6'2 and 250 who don't look big at all, They don't workout and you wouldn't give them a second look and Hogan looks far bigger than they are.

_________

Exactly. Having never met Hulk, I can't really pin point his weight. I would say he weighs anywhere between 250lbs and 280lbs. If I had to guess his exact stats, I would say ~6'4" 265lbs. At his biggest, he was probably ~6'5.5" ~300lbs.
Eric said on 29/Dec/11
That's correct, yaspa. Kurt is 6'3 and he was wearing dress shoes in the movie while Hulk was wearing thick heeled boots. Hulk looked less than 2 inches taller than Kurt.
Yaspaa said on 28/Dec/11
Never looked more than 6'5, didn't have more than 2" on 6'3 Kurt Fuller in No Holds Barred.

Two guys next to each other in T-shirts are hard to judge as well.
If hogan was 280 I wouldn't be surprised.
At his lightest I think 230, I had a copy of impact magazine from 1993 and in an interview in that he said 230, The interview wasn't about wrestling at all and it just focused on thunder in paradise and acting. As far as height goes I'm with Danimal and davey although I think he could maybe be over 6'3 today.
RP said on 27/Dec/11
yeah Danimal...I'm going 255 on Hogan. With him going from 248-258/260 tops.

It's time to put an end to this discussion! Hogan is a legend and a wrestling icon. He is/was and will always be the greatest and most famous wrestler of all time. here in Sweden people only recognise Hogan and the rock. names like steve austin, flair, bret hart, undertaker, cena doesn't say a ****.

Let's face the true abou hogan real stats

PRIME 6'4.5 - 6'5.25 (nothing less and nothing over )

Current: i don't realy care about his current height but his height loss is a maximum of 1.5 inches. so if he was 6'5 peak then he is 6'3.5 now and if he was 6'5 peak then he is 6'3 now.

this is celebheights and not celebweights or celebbiceps!
NOW THIS IS SOOO RIGHT . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

davey says on 23/Dec/11
He claims he was 6'7 when he was young and first started in wrestling, he must have been measured somewhere that gave him that idea but knowing most people he was probably really about 6'6 and a little bit and rounded himself up to 6'7.
These days when I see him standing next to people he used to be way taller than like sting and vince mcmahon and looking practically the same height as them now (especially vince he used to do interviews next to him in the middle of the ring and tower over him then in 2003 he was practically the same size) I'd go as far as to say he's lost at least 3 inches in height through age plus surgeries so he'd have to be 6'3 max, I wouldn't really be surprised if he was even 6'2 after all he's been through.

I 100% agree with everything you wrote.

Really Ronster!...280 plus! Troy Aikman weighs 232 lbs "This is what he told NFL serious radio last week when they were discussing the size of modern day QB's".....Troy said, "I'm 6'4" and weight 232 & I played at 227-230 & these guys make me look small sometimes" Now, does Hogan look 50 lbs heavier than Troy in RAC commercials?...No! 15 lbs tops! Troy's shoulders are actually broader than Hogan's now.

Considering his height loss and loss of overall size, I'd give him still 250+ pounds easily.

Height now mustbe about 6'3", his peak looked about 6'5" or slightly more. He was obviously not 6'7" next to Rodman but this was later in his career. Its funn y how wwf tried to give him a 6'8" billing.

RP - Did you weigh Hogan on your scale at home or something??? You must be god or something to know better than Hogan himself what he weighs in at today. He has stated recently that he hovers around 285 to 290lbs and was well over 300lbs in the Hulkamania days. And Miko, Nash is 6'11" not 6'9", his basketball stats show that as does when he stands toe to toe with the legit 7' plus Big Show nearly eye to eye. Stop posting ridiculous opinions and stick with whats real people.

________

Nash was never eye to eye with 7', not 7' plus, Big Show. He looked 2"-3" shorter in WCW. Where are his basketball stats? Hogan also said Andre weighed close to 700lbs at Wrestlemania III...I guess you believe that as well?

In 1985 Hulk Hogan in several matches with big John stud . Who is 6'7" Hulk Hogan was clearly between an inch and a half or two full inches shorter. Which once again brings us to his Peak Height of 6'5" is weight very between 285 pounds to 300 pounds
RP said on 20/Dec/11
Ronster, Do you seriously, honestly believe that Hogan at is currently close to 300 lbs? Fella, he's 260 tops at the moment! I'd say his current naked body weight is in the 248-253 range...at his current height of 6'3.75"...Saw him on ESPN last week, Terry is 6'3.75" and in the low 250's right now. He could maybe pigout & hit 260 fully clothed & with shoes on right now? But, barefoot: 6'3.75" & naked: 248-253 lbs. This nonsense of you claiming he is close to 300 is just silly! Even to say 280 would be rediculous!
madmacs said on 18/Dec/11
5'8" sounds right. I am almost 6'8" and was walking thru an airport and my 5'11" wife when she says there's Hulk Hogan! I looked around and around and said to her where is he? She said he's right in front of you! I looked down and there he was. 5'8" sounds about right!!

Are you talking about him when he was billed that in rocky 3? where they used camera angles to make him look even bigger next to a relatively tiny at the time 5'8"-9" Stallone?

He was nowhere near 6'8". The biggest he even said he was 6'7".

Danimal is correct on several accounts....Lou at 42 in The Masters Olympia was 6'4.25" & 308 lbs with 23" arms...Lou said they hit 23.5" cold during the offseason when he hit 320. Peak Lou was 6'4.75"! His arms where mostly 22" cold when he was training properly & not taking weeks off to film The Hulk & movies. Peak Hogan was 6'5.5"....his weight from the late 70's to the late 80's was 300-305....once in a while he'd bloat up to 310. And a few times he dipped down to about 290. And Terry's "Hulk" largest his arms where 22" cold. This is fact! And please!. Stop showing that 1978/79 pic of Terry with the hairy chest as your proof of his arms being 24"! Jeez! Can you not tell that the photo was taken with the shadow technique? That placed a shadow behind his arm to make it appear larger. Take out the shadow, and Terry's arms only look 21" there.

Lou Ferrigno has PROVEN 24 1/2" arms and weighed over 330 lbs.
Even Hogan at his SHORTEST was taller than Ferrigno PEAK.
Peak Hogan towered over 3 1/2" above Ferrigno though and Ferrigno had MUCH shorter arms than Hogan making them appear bigger than they really are.
Even after all that, Ferrigno's arms look smaller than Hogan's, just more defined.

Wrong.. Lou's arms ranged between 21-23" (Depending on his bodyweight).. FACT.. Your 24.5" is made up.

Grow up Danimal, for once in your life.

Unless Hogan is jumping straight out of bed into his cowboy boots, he NEVER saw 6'7 in them.

Lou Ferrigno was measured @ 6'4 1/2" at age 50. He was over 6'5" peak.
Even after losing all that height, Hogan is still taller.
Peak Lou Ferrigno 6'5 1/4", Hulk Hogan 6'8 1/16".

WOW, you're insane, aren't you? Lou was never measured at the age of 50. In 1994 (at the age of 42/43) he was said to be just over 6'4" at this Master Olympia. So, now Hogan was 6'8 1/4" eh? WOW, Ronster, what color is the sky in your world?

Coming from a man who has similar looking arms, I would bet my life those arms were not 24 1/2". They were more like 21". I don't know why you're so obsessed with believing in Hogan's billed statistics. He was a huge man. Nobody here disputes that. He was at least 6'5" and around 300lbs with not all that much fat. By the way, even if I'm wrong and he had legit 24" "pythons", what does that have to do with his height? Ok, Hogan was 450lbs and had 32.5" arms. How tall was he? The FACT is, he wasn't taller than 6'5.75" Earthquake. He wasn't as tall as 6'7" Sid. He looked very similar in height with the self described 6'5" Jake Roberts, 6'5" Scott Hall, and 6'5" Barry Windham. He was about 3" shorter than 6'8"-6'9" Giant Baba. He was barely taller than 6'5" max Hillbilly Jim. He was a tad shorter than 6'7" max John Studd. I have never seen a situation where Hogan looked above 6'7". Most of the time, he looked 6'5"-6'6".
drummer777 said on 7/Dec/11
Well Naturally he get larger and taller hes the Hulk isn't he, When Hulk gets angry it causes him to grow into larger and taller Hulk and then he shrinks back down to 6'3, YOu see Andre made him really angry so he grew his largest and tallest to 6'8.

I live in Clearwater Florida as does Hulk Hogan and I've seen him in person many times. Up close he looks about 6'4". He's been in commercials lately with Troy Aikman, who is 6'4" and if anything, Hulk looks to be slightly shorter.
The Ben said on 4/Dec/11
I say a peak Hogan was a strong 6'5, Maybe 6'6, Weight is harder to tell, Two guys can look the same size and have very different weights, He looks quite thick so i'd say 330max. Today he looks 6'3, Maybe a little more and anywhere between 260-280. Hard to tell without seeing him in person.

LOL Barkley is not 6'5.5. Dicksock, you really, really suck at this height thing.

Actually, no I don't. I consistently estimate people's heights in real live. I can assure you I'm never more than an inch off. Many times I'll even test myself on this site. I'll look at the random photo in the top right corner of the page and try to guess the height of someone I've never seen. If I suck so bad at estimating heights, why am I never more than an inch off when I actually go to that person's page? I guess Rob sucks as well. Barkley is around 6'5" for a fact. He is no less than 6'4.5" and no more than 6'5.5". Why don't you enlighten me by showing me your estimates.

They did measure Hulks biceps fully flexed at 24 inches on Vinces talk show back in the 80's, its on youtube, I don't believe now hulk was ever 6'7 I did give him the benefit of the doubt because its possible to lose inches from spinal surgery.

You can tell he was heavier back in the 80's, I think he was around 305 pounds at that time and then went down to 275 in his WCW days.

He would of had to started losing his height before he met Sid and taker back in the 80's. but problem is he was shorter than a so called 6'7 JOhn studd back in the 70's.

yes i understand your point. If a 5'10.5 - 5'11 guy stood next to a 6'5 - 6'5.5 guy with the same size of arms, the shorter guys arms would look much taller as the are much shorter.

Hogan was billed as 6'6, 6'7 and 6'8

in the WWF he was billed between 294 - 303 pounds

Arms: in the beginning mentioned and promoted as 26 inches, later (WWF era) 24

reality:

peak height: 6'5.25 = 196,5 cm
peak weight (1978-1980) 287 = 130 kg
arms: 22 inch without a pump

In 1979 Bruno Sammartino . Described Hulk Hogan as being 6'5" during one of his matches . After the match Vince McMahon who is 6'1" did an interview with him Hulk Hogan looked to be no more than 3 1/2 inches taller. Which once again puts him at an absolute most of 6'5"
Jake T. said on 3/Dec/11
I used to believe Hogan was 6'5 max in his prime but now I realize Hulk was very tall back in the day. Maybe 6'8 would be too much, that height would've made him taller than Undertaker, although I admit he could have been 6'6.5 probably at his tallest in his 20's he was a towering man. Currently I think he is 6'3.5 but 6'3 is possible too.

Henry: Do us all a favor and stop trolling.
miko said on 2/Dec/11
In his prime he was 6'5/6'5.5 and around 290/295lbs.

Today he is 6'3.5/6'4 and around 265lbs.

He still is a very 'large' man, very big upper body and his arms are still around 19/20 inches down from his 22 inch peak.
dicksock said on 2/Dec/11
Barkley is probably 6'5.5" barefoot.
BigDickMcgee said on 2/Dec/11
Hulk was measured at 6'7 and I take him at his word. There's no reason to believe otherwise. If anything, he'd be half an inch taller because he probably had been awake all day when he went to his parents house.
Eric said on 1/Dec/11
Barkley is well known as 6'5. It's easy to look taller in a mugshot when the camera is pointing up instead of being level.
Ronster said on 1/Dec/11
Sorry Dicksock, i was confusing you with Mike (AKA Vegas!). Go on and explain how the mugshot of Barkley showing him at 6'8" can be false in any way??? And Dicksock, i said he was a stong 6'7" meaning he was 6'7.5" and that was barefoot. Hogan by the way was 330-340lbs when he was all bulked up in the days of Thunderlips and Terry Boulder, anyone with a set of working eyes can see from a photo how much thicker and bulked up he was then compared to the late eighties when he was down around 300lbs. His arms were at their peak 26" and 23-24" in his prime. Today they are around 20" and his legs are nowhere near the size they were either. Those are just facts buddy, not speculation.
drummer777 said on 30/Nov/11
That mugshot of charles barkley has him at 6'8, Hogan said he noticed he was 6'4 just before his dad died, his dad died in 2001. The problem is he was billed 6'6 in 1982 and was shorter than John Studd who is 6'5 or 6'6.

Sid vicious was billed 6'7 in the 80's and Hogan was definitely shorter than a 6'7 Sid back than in the 80's I doubt that what he was refering to when he said "just before his dad died he noticed he was 6'4" back in the 80's His dad died in 2001.

You must be stupid or something. Eric, Vegas and myself don't even have anywhere near the same estimates. Did you just choose three random posters? Hogan never said he was a strong 6'7". He just said he was 6'7" when he started training in 1976. He was 23 years old in 1976 so he wouldn't have grown after that. Anyone who thinks Hogan was taller than 6'7" is a fool and that's a fact. At his biggest he was billed at 295lbs and was billed at 295lbs by Wrestlemania III so you can forget about 340lbs or whatever nonsense you think is true. In fact, his most famous billing is 303lbs. Hogan was 6'5.5"-6'6" in his prime. He's 6'4" and about 260lbs tops now.

Big Lou's peak barefoot was 6'4.5" and this was taking & listed during the filming of Pumping Iron in the Mid-70's. Lou competed at 268-275 and would bulk up to about 290 in the off-seasons during the 70's. When he returned to competive Body Building in the early 90's he was HUGE! He competed in the low 300's & bulked up to 320-325 in the off-season. His arms were 22" cold in the 70's & a reported 23.5" cold in the early 90's when he got over 300 lbs. His Chest was 58" relaxed & 60" expanded"....and he was ripped! That is just enormous! 6'4.5" & 310-320 lbs 23" arms a 58"-60" chest! Now Lou at 60 is a weak 6'3" & his posture is'nt what it used to be.. When he stands perfectly straight he's still 6'3.5"
Ronster said on 25/Nov/11
Sorry Eric/Dick sock/Vegas or whatever other alias's you use but I am not this Henry who is posting figures much closer to the truth. Hogan said he was 6'7" in his youth, and a as you like to say "strong" 6'7" at that so he was close to 6'8". His weight was well over 300lbs most of his life, he is 280-290 right now when his arms are 3-4" smaller and his legs are 10-15 pounds lighter each. He is over 6'5" and 285lbs right now and was easily over 6'7" and 320 lbs when he was under 34 years old. Those are just simple facts, and i don't go lowering or raising other peoples heights like you all do to make what i say right lol.
Gene said on 24/Nov/11
Well Lou has been measured barefoot at 6'5- maxing out at 316. thats a big big man. So, if its true that Hogan was bigger than Lou at that celebrated talk show, then we have to give Hogan at least 6'6

A barefoot Terry "Hulk" was never even close to 6'8" & 340.."Never" Barefoot Terry '78-'80 was 6'5.5" & 290-305. From '81-'83 was 6'5.5" 300-305..and '84-'89 he was 6'5.5" & 285-295,. sometimes hitting 300. And early 90's he was 6'5" & 265-280. The mid to late 90's "NWO era" he was 6'4.5" & 255-265. early 2000's 6'4" & 250-265 & mid-2000's 6'3.5" & 245-260. Right now he's right at 6'3.5"-6'3.75" & 245-255...sometimes Terry will hit 265 when he gets lazy & gets his gut back on him.

Eric, JJ Dillon is not 5'9". I am 5'9.5" had my picture taken with Jerry Lawler who is 5'10". Dillion was taller then Lawler by 1", making him 5'11" The Austin picture with Dillon I feel is easy to explain. Austin likes wearing combat boots which gives extra height. Austin looks close 6'3". Though wearing normal footwear would put at 6'1".

Ok, I'm going to just ignore all of the obvious nonsense in that blog or whatever you posted the link to. Why would Hogan claim that he measured himself at 6'7" barefoot in his parent's house when he started wrestling if he was really 6'8"? Also, why would promoters bill Hogan at 295lbs when he started wrestling if he was 340lbs? Please use common sense. If Hogan claims that he peaked at 6'7", why are you claiming he was 6'8"?

I must admit I first found this site because somebody bet me about Hogans height and I found ot interesting how many people think Hogan is shorter than what he says. Well I bet nobody on here has ever stood face to face with the man. I have met Hogan several times through out his career and I know how tall he is. I never measured him but Im 6'2 and Im taller then most men. Hogan curently is no shorter than 6'4 he could even be closer to 6'5. I live in the Tampa area and a Hogan sighting is not a rare thing. I bet the hatters on here are little boys who have never touched a weight or have never gotten into fight. I will not redpond to this boys.

I live in Tampa too, and I met Hulk the very morning that he had his most recent back surgery in the lobby of the hospital he had it at. I'd estimate his height at 6'3.5 ~ 6'4" that morning and that was a man who was obviously walking and standing in pain, I was literally 3 feet away from the man and even congratulated him and his wife on their marriage the day before. I have no doubt he's at least 6'5" after the surgery. Hulk's main problem is his posture, it can make him appear shorter than he is, he's constantly standing with a hunched back, neck slightly forward and knees slightly bent, if he straightened up he'd be around 6' 5.5" still.

andre says on 8/Nov/11
Zeus from wwf was 6ft5(196cm) was more taller then hogan(193cm)

This looks somewhat right although I think Hulk was definately well over 6ft in his younger years the WWE had him as being 6ft6 or 6ft7and weighing anywhere from 285-310 when he wrestled but of course with age and the job he was in with all the surgeries yea he could've dropped a few inches I think 6ft3 is too short for him I guess 6ft5 right now and weighing about 250-275 not as big as he used 2 but still fairly big

Larry(Lex Luger) was listed 6'4 in football, Hogan was billed 6'6 in the early 80's, Hogan is still slightly shorter than listed 6'4 Troy Aikman. Something is a miss at the circle K...

Sock, in that wcw clip you posted, Lex had on dress shoes and was still within an inch of Hulk's height. If Lex really was 6'3 back then, that would make Hulk 6'3 and a half in 1995.


No man, Luger's heels were about as big as Hogan's cowboy boots at Bash at the Beach 1996 when he joined the NWO. He definitely had a footware advantage over Hogan. You must not have watched the whole clip if you think Luger was within an inch of Hogan. I would bet anything there was 2" between them. Hogan was staring down at him the whole time. Honestly, if you can watch the footage of Luger and Hogan from 1995 and come to the conclusion that Hogan was 6'3.5", then you are clearly clueless on this subject.

Eric says on 2/Nov/11
Hogan edged out Windham? Were you watching the same youtube clip? Anyone with a working pair of eyes could see that Barry was taller than Hulk.


The clip of them is useless. Windham clearly had the camera advantage. This is a case of people seeing what they want to see.

cant believe hogan lost 3in at height his only 58years old. im thinking peak he wore heel boots out 6'7 barefoot 6'5 and heading down 190cm flat maybe closer truth. his bill height was 6'9 during WWF. kurt angle had mention every wrestler get bill 4" higher than real height.
drummer777 said on 2/Nov/11
Definitely, Luger is listed as 6'4 in Football, Luger could be 6'3ish with hogan each man in the 6'3 to 6'4 range. I think you can put Barry windham at 6'4 barefoot and Sid at 6'5 1/2 to 6'6 barefoot. luger is more like 6'3ish barefoot. so you can make Barry windham 6'5 with his shoes on.

Hogan and Barry Windham have the same slight height advantage over Lex luger very minute though.
miko said on 2/Nov/11
Hogan and Windham were definately both 6'5 range.

Actually looking at new footage of them, I really don't know who was taller.

Judging from the video Vegas posted Barry Windham is taller then Hulk Hogan. However my only question is what kind of boots did Windham and Hogan wear at this point in what 1985??? Footwear does make a difference when u have two guys very close in height.

Both have standard wrestling boots on Click Here Costas is probably in the 5'6" range.

6’7” Sid had an easy 2 inches on Windham, just like he did on Hogan

I'd like to add a couple of more points to the 1995 Hogan/Luger comparison: Luger was at least 6'3" for a fact and may have been 6'3.5" or something. There is no way in the world Hogan had less than 2" on him in 1995. I believe that segment should end any notion of Hogan "losing height" by 1995. He probably did, but I'm talking about like .25" or something like that; not this 1-2" nonsense or as mamun thinks, 3". Luger also had a small footware advantage in that segment. Hogan was absolutely no less than 6'5" in that clip. I would give him ~6'5.5" at that time. Logically, a younger Hogan would have been even a little bit closer to 6'6".

Peak Hogan- 6'5.5"-6'6"
Early WCW era Hogan- ~6'5.5"
Late WCW era Hogan- 6'5"
2002 WWF return Hogan- 6'4.5"
TNA debut Hogan- 6'3"-6'3.5"
Current Hogan- ~6'4"
dicksock said on 1/Nov/11
If Windham was taller than Hogan, why did he look the same or even shorter next to Lex Luger in the 80s than Hogan did in the mid 90s?

Both men were in the 6'5" range for sure. Hogan would have probably edged out Barry though.
Eric said on 1/Nov/11
Definitely will say a prayer for Barry. It's hard to believe that a thin kid started bulking up so much. Barry was 240 early in his career and then moved up to 275 by his wwf stint. All that food was a heart attack in progress. Get well soon, Barry.

At 4:40 of that youtube clip, Barry is bending over. Watch them at 4:50 when Barry stands straight. Barry is clearly taller than Hulk, and that's a 1985 Hulk. Barry probably has him by 3 inches today!

A peak Barry Windham was NOT a 1/2"inch taller than a Peak Hulk Hogan! It was the very opposite. A peak Hogan was a 1/2"inch taller than Windham. When they were in the WWF together 1985-1986 Hogan always had by about a 1/2"inch.

Just google the pic from '85-'86 with Bob Costas, Hulk Hogan, Barry Windham, Mike Rotunda, & believe JYD & Hillbilly Jim are also in the pic. And Hogan is a 1/2" taller than Windham and they have identical wrestling boots. So....for the last time!....in his prime Terry "Hulk" was 6'5 1/2" barefoot.

Billcompton Andre was actually only 6'10" in 1987.
Billcompton said on 26/Oct/11
Well I guess if Hogan was only 6'5 in his prime then Andre was only 6'9 in his prime. It is crazy how many people on this website bash Hogan. Why do they care so much about Hogans height? Hogan in the 90's was 2 inches shorter than Dennis Rodman. Dennis Rodman is 6'7 and said so on Howard Stern two months ago. A prime Hogan was 6'6 minimum.
Mike said on 26/Oct/11
If you were to take a peek Hulk Hogan . and put him in a stare down with let's say somebody like gold dust Hulk Hogan would be absolutely no taller.

Hulk at his prime without back surgery was 6'6", after surgery he now stands around 6'4.5"

That's correct, Mike. Hulk was never taller than 6'5, but he definitely was taller at one time. Hulk was about a half inch shorter than Barry Windham who was a legit 6'5.
Mike said on 23/Oct/11
I would be willing to bet. $1000 . That Hulk Hogan was absolutely no more than 6'5". Even as far back as 1979.

Hogan is 6'5 today. When he stands next to Sting it is very clear. When he stands next to Aikman in the new comercials he bending his knees all the time. Dont forget that Aikman wears those Sketcher sneakers. Those have like a 2 and a half inch heal on them.

This is a video of Hogan with Brooke Shields at about 1998. Shields is listed as 6'0. She's wearing high heels in the video, so that might bump her up to 6'1.5. Hogan seems to have three inches on her when he stands upright, so that'd put him in the area of 6'4.5 for the time.

Yeah, something funky happened between 2000 and 2002 (neck fusion and a hip replacement. I also believe he has a knee replacement as well). The man went from close to 6'5" before he left the WCW to barely over 6'3" upon his return to the WWE 2 years later imo.

Hogan is still 280 today. In the recent pictures with the Hoff hogan is WAY, WAY heavier than Hoff, he looks like a stick next to hogan. Hoff who at 6'4 and well built has to be over 200.

Would love to have seen Hogan stand next to a LEGIT 6'6" man in 1981 and would love to see Hogan stand next to a legit 6'4" today.

My money would be Hogan would have been the exact same height as that 6'6" man in 1981 and close to 1" shorter than the 6'4" man today.
miko said on 1/Jul/09
If someone got a pic with Hogan they would have to be at least 6"2 as any shorter guy would mean a badly slouching Hogan.

Hogan only stands tall when he needs to.

hogan at peak was 6.5 1/2 and no more..yes he comes out as 6'7 or 6'7.5 with his cowboy boots...i would say hogan was 1987 6'5.5 and 290IBS...1978-1980 still of course 6'5.5 but more like 305 pounds... today he is 6'3 or 6'3.5 and maybe 260 pounds...
Doug said on 28/Jun/09
I agree at peak he was 6'5.5" and around 295 lbs. At one point though he was 315 in the late 70s and early 80s. At one point before he was a wrestler he has said he was a low as 240 pounds after he lost all the fat and then he started power building to become a wrestler.
Doug said on 28/Jun/09

Hogan gets jobbed with the comments on this site. He was huge back in 1981. No less than 6'6 315. Davidson was 6'8 and may have been the only person who found boots that were .25 bigger than Hogan's. He was only 2 inches shorter making him 6'6. Stll 6'4 280 today.

Lucky if he is 6'3" today and he's not over 255 pounds today.

That picture with Davidson is excellent. Their boots seems to have the same sole and is obvious that Davidson has 3" on Hogan. Davidson in this picture is definatly no less then 6'7 but also no more than 6'7.5 so Hogan's peek would be 6'4 to 6'4.5 and nowdayds he's about 6'2

2" between Hogan and Davidson, putting Hogan at 6'5.5"-6'6". 6'3"-6'3.5" today.

yes i remember that episode when hogan said he was 6'5 285ibs..he was no shorter than 6'5 barefoot at his peak..maybe he was 6'5 1/2 barefoot at hiis peak....and in cowboy boots he comes out at 6'7 or 6'7.5 depending on if he was 6'5 or 6'5.5...

i would say he was 6'5.5 peak and 290-300ibs in good shape (1979-1981)

I saw the Goldie and the Three Bears episode in question.(1984)Forget the picture, in the show Davidson and Hogan stand side by side talking for about 15 seconds, same footware, same stance. And just as the picture would suggest Davidson was about exactly 2 inches taller, definatly no less, maybe 2.25 inches...

Saw it too (and wasted an hour of my life). Davidson was easily 2 inches taller if not more. I believed Hogan was 6'8" at the time and was trying to come up with every excuse how he was really still the same height as Davidson when the height advantage was so obvious. I also recall one scene where Hogan is standing behind Davidson and craning his neck all he could just to be noticed over Davidson's shoulder. IIRC at the end, Hogan, Davidson and some third guy are standing together. Hogan did not look much shorter but the camera angle is very low so you can't really judge their heights.

Hell no, this guy seems to fall for them hook, line and sinker. He probably really thinks the Big Show was 7' 4 and must think he just simply lost four inches of height over the years. It's hilarious to see him on here trying to defend a 6' 8 Hogan, and using a 6' 10 Undertaker to help support his idiocy.

you got your numbers wrong too, sid was hogans age at WM8 in 1999 and yes he was still peak height then and in 2001 imo

Ronster: again, Sid was BILLED at 6' 7, he's no taller than that. The Undertaker is NOT 6' 10, but is more like 6' 7.5 to 6' 8 and the Undertaker himself once even stated that he is 6' 8 on an episode of Smackdown.

Peak heights, Ben Davidson 6'8 1965 25yr old. Hulk Hogan 6'5.75 1978 25yr old. Sid Eudy 6'7 1985 25yr old. There was a big overlap in ages during the stairdowns with these guys. A peak Hogan with a diminished Davidson, and a peak Sid with a diminished Hogan. No way Hogan was peak in 1992 after 16 years already in the wrestling wars. And Davidson 13 years retired by 1984. Sid was no longer peak by about 2001 either.

About the same as Sid Eudy was taller than Hogan in the early 90's stairdowns, Davidson might have been a quarter to half inch taller than those. Davidson was 44 then, not peak. No one would suggest Hogan was at his peak at 44 in 1998. I suppose that if you gave Hogan the benifit of the doubt he could have been a flat 6'6 but more likely he was a little under that because Davidson was also called 6'7 sometimes.

I'm only interested in Sid's lowest billing, because we know that wrestlers are either billed at their actual height or exaggerated, and only on very rare occasions are they billed under. Since Sid was billed at 6' 7 originally, he isn't any taller than that (but I don't think he is any shorter either). And I seriously doubt Hulk wasn't at his prime in the early 90s. My goodness that argument gets ridiculous. It's like some people must think Hogan had like a 1 year prime or something.

If Sid was 6'7 at wrestlemania 8, how tall do you think hogan was? i would say hogan was around 6'5.5..i think that sid had a little footwear advantage..maybe 0.5

Hogan was not wearing boots when he was standing next to my friend, he was in his wrestling boots which by the way had no more lift than any pair of running shoes. Hogan makes off the cuff remarks all the time, and probably has not even measured his own height in the last 20 years. As I stated before, i know for a fact ( not based on some picture) that he was at least 6'7-6'8" when i saw him in the late eighties without shoes or any help. Now he is around 6'5"-6'6" when he stands straight up. How can any of you look at the picture above where he clears a 6' guy by almost a foot and say he was never over 6'5"? What are you smoking???? Remember, he has an enormous head which is easily a foot and a half from top of head to his chin. I have no issues with him being a couple of inches shorter now, that is normal for a big man who has had hip replacement surgery, but some people are trying to say he is only 6'2-6'3" tall? And they base it on pictures where you cannot make any sound judgment or even be accurate to within 6" of his height. Look at the picture of him with KISS in the 90's, he stood between two guys who are 6'1" tall with 6-8" platform boots on and he was only 1-2"" shorter than either of them, that would by the way for the mathematically challenged put him at 6'7" average with his boots on. For the nay sayers who just won't stop trying to diminish his stature, deal with it.

Hogan was 6'7 with his head of hair in the 70's. he went down to 6'6 when he lost it in the 80's Lost a natural inch in his 40's down to 6'5 by the end of the 90's. And lost an inch down to 6'4 from the surgeries by the 2000's. He can give the appearence of less than 6'4 now because his wheels are shot and he walks around like the missing link. If he had to stand up straight for a offical measuring I sure he would be 6'4. He only lost about 2 inches of real height(not including hair) over the past 35 years.

I know crap about this guy. On the one hand he's down at 6'4" nowadays but he has clearly almost an inch on Lou Ferrigno who stood near 6'5".
Ron said on 9/Jun/09
I went and saw him live at ringside in the late eighties, and a friend of mine who is 6'5" tall had to look up to Hogan as he walked by. Hulk had at least 4-5" on guys in the 6'3-6'4" range in those days, and lifts won't get you more than an inch. He was billed at times as nearly 7' tall which was an exageration, but he was minimum 6'7-6'8" tall. Today by his own admission he has lost about 1-2" to wear and tear, but he still is between 6'5-6'6" tall. I am forever amused by all you so called experts who think they can judge from a photo someone's height. For instance, the pic everyone is citing now of him with Hasselhoff. He is slouching/leaning to one side and David was standing as straight as an arrow, plus we cannot see what they are standing on. I can be less than two feet from someone, but if the ground is uneven ( it always is) I can easily appear two inches or more taller/shorter depending on where i am. I see pics every day almost of him next to his daughter who is just under 6' barely, and he clears her by at least 4-6". You all need to stop trying to tear down the giants of our generation and get a hobby or something better to do with your time. Stop being so insecure about tall people already, gosh. For the record, Andre was over 7' tall when he stood up straight, which was not very often after 1980.(And remember he kept growing his whole life).

Today Hogan is in the 191 or 192 cm range. Strong 6'3", weak 6'4".
Doug said on 9/Jun/09
Hulkster below is just about right. Hogan was around a legit 6'5.5" barefoot at peak and you can see in the picture above he had the propotions of a genuine 6'5-6'6" man. HUGE. and was listed as 6'7"-6'8" today he is struggling with 6'4" barefoot, 6'3" ish. He is still a huge man obviously but a lot smaller than peak. Hogan is taller than 6'2" Brooke is 5'10.5" and in heels can reach a close 6'2" and Hogan is still an inch or two taller.

Danimal, that's laughable. Have you seen how small Jesse comes offon taller wrestlers? Jesse isn't even as tall as 6'3.75" Ted Dibiase.

Enough with the 6'3 3/4" Ted Dibiase. You and your 1/4" and 3/4" is like talking with a robot.

6'2" is what the man is TODAY. He was a tall man in his younger days. Still is, just not as tall.

Looks 6'7.5-6'7.75 in the picture above. And 1988 was hardly peak height for Hogan, 1977 would have been more like it.(24yr old) He's 35 in the photo above. His WWF days were starting to wind down by 1988. Even if you were to say that Greg is only 5'10.75 Hogan would be as much as 6'6.

Hogan was very huge, tall and strong back in the 70's and mid 80's it's just sad that everyone remembers Hogan in the nWo days or the WWE days when was way behind his prime..There was not really many guys who was taller than Hogan in the 80's execpt for a few like Big John Studd, Andre the Giant and One Man Gang..some says wrestlers is taller today than before..but Hogan was taller than Hillbilly Jim (6'5) Jake Roberts (6'5) Zeus (6'5) he was only 1.5 inches shorter than Big John Studd and Sid Justice. He stood up really good to a 7 feet Andre back in the late 70's. Todays wrestlers like Batista, Triple H, John Cena, Steve Austin, Randy Orton and so on are all shorter than many of the wrestlers in the 80's..

Hogan was at his peak a legit 6'5.75 (197,5 cm) barefoot...in the NWO he looked like 195cm then in the WWE 2004-2006 like 193cm.. Hogan is probably today 192,5 cm and peak 197,5 cm....

Jesse Ventura is a maximum of 6'2".

A-Train was billed at 6'6", as well as Viscera, as well as One Man Gang (1984). None of them were over that height.

if you are using lowest billings for wrestlers you can't just pick and choose, you must include andre, big show and jesse ventura too

Ventura wasn't billed at 6'2" in his wrestling days. As a Governor in his 50's, yes he is. Jesse was billed at 6'7" in the WWF if I'm not mistaken, yet he referred to himself as 6'4"-6'5".

Ladd 4 inches taller than CRUSH!? lol no way
Daniel_Sweden said on 5/Jun/09
i would say that hogans peak height probably was 6'5.75 if you compare him to Jake Roberts, Jesse Ventura, zeus and Hillbilly Jim..Hogan was taller than all of them back in the 80's no doubt..Hogan was 6'5.75 (197cm) barefoot in the morning at his peak

Hulk Hogan 6'5.75 billead as 6'8 then 6'7 after height loss
Scott Hall 6'5.5 (billed 6'7)
Jake Roberts 6'5 (billed 6'6 and 6'7)
Hillbilly Jim 6'5.25 (billed 6'7)
One Man Gang/Akeem 6'6.75 (billed as high as 6'9)
Big John Studd 6'7.5 (billed as 6'10)
Sid 6'7.5 (billed as 6'8 and 6'9)
Undertaker 6'8 (billed as 6'10 1/2 then later 6'10)
Kevin Nash 6'10 (7'1 in WCW)
the Big Show 7'0 ( WCW 7'4 1/2 then 7'2, then 7'1 and at last 7'0)
Andre the Giant 6'11.5 - 7'0 (was probably 6'11 around wrestlemania III) (7'4 and 7'5)

Danimal

Do you think Mideon is only 6'3"? Because he was billed that, and he was at least 6'5.5". Christian? Billed 5'10". was more like 6'.

You are using PWI bills, not actual bills. You have yet to prove One Man Gang was ever billed under 6'9". The truth is he never was. Mid-South billed him 6'10". ICW billed him 7'. UWF billed him 6'9". WWF billed him 6'9". in WCW J.R. once called him "6'8", maybe 6'10"." On the indie circuit, he is billed 7'.

There was NEVER a 6'6" bill unless you've created some fantasy league in your mind with your action figures.
Jake said on 5/Jun/09
This is good evidence that Hogan could be 6-2 these days.

This guy actually looks a little shorter next to 6-2.4 measured Kerry Rhodes than he does with Hogan.

Shock of Electric said on 5/Jun/09
I get The Giant at 5.25" taller Gang, I also believe Big Show to have been a peak 7' as the Giant, putting Gang at 6.75", he was around .75-1" taller than Hogan in the late 80s.

Peaks:
The Great Khali 7'1"
Big Show 7'
Andre *maybe* 7' even
Kevin Nash 6'10"
The Undertaker 6'8.25"
Kane 6'8"
Sid 6'7"
Big John Studd 6'7"
Big Daddy V 6'6.75"
One Man Gang 6'6.75"
Hulk Hogan 6'6"
Jake Roberts 6'5.25"
Electric Shock said on 5/Jun/09
Gang's boots aren't any bigger than Big Show's in the staredown.

I'm getting 273 pixel OMG and a 289 pixel Big Show, making One Man Gang 94.5% as tall as Big Show. So punch in however tall you believe Big Show is into a calculator, and that'll be what Gang is.

I'm personally getting 6'11.5" Big Show and 6'6.9" One Man Gang.

HH looks about 190-192cm. I think
6'4 is perfect.

Wrestling is really damaging. He might have lost
2 inches height.

Vegas says on 4/Jun/09
big show wasn't 7 inches taller than OMG face to face in wcw in 1996, it was more like 5-5.5 inches in the staredown, gang and studd were identical in height at the 1989 royal rumble and we know studd wasn't 2.5 inches taller than fralic in 1986

OMG had some really big-heeled boots on though: Click Here
OMG has more conventional boots on here Click Here and Big Show (standing very erect) really towers over him despite the camera angle favoring OMG. Click Here OMG still has ~ 6

Electric Shock said on 4/Jun/09
Danimal it has been proven TIME AND TIME again that One Man Gang is taller than Hulk Hogan. How can you have them listed as the same peak?
