Your can clearly see that hogan was at least 6'6 in his prime. There are still people who think that he was 6'3 in his prime, which is crazy. Hogan was a big guy, my friend met him back in 1986, and my friend was 6'1 back then without shoes, and he says that hogan was a good 5 - 6 inches taller than him.
Even if greg is 6'0 or 182cm exactly, it would still make hogan 6'6 at minimum. These days he is probably 6'3 - 6'4.

Hi, Warlord. Great postings.
We were on equal footing in the lobby of the Turfway Hilton in Erlanger, (by God!) KY. That wasn't a hat. It was a Harley bandana. You can see the tire and spokes of the Harley above his eyes. My opinion is the bandana wouldn't give him any extra height since it basically "molded" to his head. I also remember thinking at the time that he didn't have the best posture, almost to the extent he seemed to lean forward. I wish I would have said, "How 'bout we get a Polaroid together, okay?"!!!

Paul he is definitely 6 ft 7 or even close to 6 ft 8 i believe Hulk Hogan and that is why the billed him as 7 ft back in 2003 under the Mr.America Character he is certainly a big man and that is this photo shows thanks Greg for uploading these and creeps like Vipers, Jk, Jason, Chad and other would no longer downgrade the Immortal one

Louie, Im not saying he is wearing Lifts in that picture but its possible
Elevator shoes makes dress shoes, casual shoes and sneakers that can make you 2 to 3 inches taller and these kind of companys have been around along time....And that was the appeal of Hogan being 6ft 8 and 300lbs of muscle..
So if he was really 6ft 4 i would bet money MCMAHON WOULD MAKE HIM WEAR LIFTS!!
I think today he dont care anymore so he dont wear lifts aymore

I think he might have been 199cm back in 1988 folks. He looks it in this picture, even with lifts in his sneakers.

Danimal,
I think Hogan certainly looks 6 foot 6 and change and possibly 6 foot 7 in that pic. At first glance it appears he is maybe 6 foot 8, but that's because he's wearing a hat and it gives an even taller impression. But, no way he's less than 6 foot 6-1/2 in that pic if Greg is 6 foot 0-1/2 and on nearly equal footing. Of course Jason or Chad or Cycklofool would round my number down to 6 foot 6, but I clearly say closer to 6 foot 7. Danimal, he never weighed 330 lbs or even 320 lbs, though. He definitely weighed 300 and change though (meaning less than 310lbs). If you listen to Hogan's DVD (Hulk Still Rules) he even says they billed him as much as 320 to 330 lbs and states that he was never that heavy. I also think he's 6 foot 4 today, it's just that he never stands straight and doesn't wear thick soled shoes either. Hey, I liked that arm measurement video though, that was great!

They also make sneakers with lifts inside them so you never know ???
That it is imposible it is 1988 when this pictures is taken and scientically only Stallone might own it and some couple of short stars but in the pictures Hogan is a legit 6 ft 7 and can be 6 ft 4 today and still taller than Umaga

The problem with the idea of Hogan being 6'7 is that the WWE often listed him at 6'6 so there's no way he would be taller then his billed height. I agree it is a controversial pic though, I mean we certainly don't know how tall Greg is but even if he were say 5'10 it would still make Hogan 6'5ish.

I remember precisely what shoes we were wearing. I recall thinking, at the time, that Hulk's Reebok 3/4 high tops were pretty cool looking. My Nikes were low cut, but similar in sole thickness. I was 25 years old then and positive I would be at the 6'3/4" - 6'1" mark in those Nikes. To be honest, I've "compressed" since that time as well!

I truly believe that Hogan was 6'7 in his prime. From this picture, he can see that he towers over a 6'0 -6'1 guy, almost a head! The rumour that Hogan has never been over 6'5 is out of the question.

JT, that pic with Mr. T and Hogan from around 1985-1986, Hogan has about 7" on him and if Mr. T was 5'11", Hogan was 6'6". Now, with Greg and Hogan, Hogan is looking the 6'7" he once claimed he was. If he was 6'7", or marginally under that, he's shrunk TREMENDOUSLY over the years!

Greg, I don't doubt your height, but this is probably the only picture I've ever seen of Hogan looking a full 6'7". He actually looks closer to 6'8" next to you. Are you positive he didn't have cowboy boots on or was standing on his toes? Here, 5'11" or so Mr. T appears closer in height to Hogan than you do in your photo (Click Here)
As a follow-up to the pic that Editor Rob posted of Hogan with the four guys, here's the 6'4" sportscaster next to a young 6'5"+ Michael Jordan (Click Here). The angle's not great but this guy could be closer to 6'5". It would be interesting to see Hogan next to him now.

Hi, Danimal.
First let me say I've gotten a kick out of your postings for a while now. That's me in the photo above. I did some calculating after this photo was taken. From the bottom of my nose to the top of my head is 6.5 inches. It's plain to see that Hulk's head is larger than mine, so from the bottom of his nose to the top of his head is AT LEAST 6.5 inches. We both had similar shoes on, so that's a wash. I truly believe Hulk was 6'7" at this time (November 1988). Plus he was HUGE! Look at his hand over mine. I felt like a little kid next to him. I was around 193 lbs. at the time and had a 45" expanded chest measurement. I was wearing a t-shirt, a thermal long-john shirt, a collared dress shirt, a sweater, and that puffy green nylon jacket (it was cold!) and he still dwarfed me in his tank top and windbreaker!!!

Venus, provide pics to back up that Claim and Snoop Dog can also be 6'3".
Why is NOBODY commenting on this pic with a Hogan in his prime (before height loss) and the 6'0.5"-6'1" guy who he appears to have at least 7" on? They are both wearing sneakers!!!!!!!

Hulk Hogan is actually shorter than rapper Snoop Dogg, who stands 6'3.5, those operations cut him down in size.

OMG, Hulk Hogan really was tall back then. He's making a 6'0" + look short and his daughter who is shorter than this Greg guy, is almost the same height as Hogan today. Sad.
I give him 6'6" (peak height)

I think Hogan is just 6'3 flat today. The 6'6 for his peak I think is still pretty possible as some don't agree on. I know the man was at least 6'5 back then so he lost at least 2 inches.

Hogan was also billed as 6 ft 9 in, as late as WMVI. I clearly remember Sean Mooney descibing him as such before the supercard. I remember thinking if Hogan is 6 ft 9, then Warrior must be 6 ft 7...how off I was!!:oD

It was Vince Sr. that billed him at 6'8" and 330 pounds with 27" biceps in 1979. He lost weight for Rocky III (down to 310) and the Vince Jr. kept him at that height until Hogan left the WWF in 1993. When he entered the WCW, he was 270 pounds and 6'7". I have many articles of him appearing in various movies starting with No Hold Barred and he was always listed at 6'6" which I believe was his legitimate height before the 3" loss.

Danimal, nice video. I remember some were saying his arms were really 22. Shows proof there they were 24. Also at a point I was thinking 24 inches unflexed. That would be even more amazing then. Another question, a few years ago in early 2003 they had this Big Show poster with his measurements and it had 22 inch biceps. Would you say thats flexed of unflexed? To me it would be unflexed and looks it.

Dave wrestling wasn't fairly small in the mid 80's that was when it was at its peak of popularity in america, with mainstream cross overs on MTV etc. As for Hogans height being 6'2" or below thats a total joke that would make Undertaker 6'4" Big Show 6'7" and so on.

according to a few so called wrestling journalists, Hulk was 6'5" to begin with, but Vince wanted lifts on him to put him to 6'7". you've got to wonder about stability in the ring with lifts (ankles, knees, achilles) The last time we saw Hulk, he didn't even have that much on Brooke with her heels.

Here's a story for you ... Back in the mid 80's (when pro wrestling was still fairly small) I was picking-up my mother from the airport when all the WWF wrestlers started coming off her plane. Watched lots of them come off at arms distance and was surpirsed at how small Hogan was. I'd give him a 6' maybe 6'2". Don Muraco was huge (how many remember him).

Wow. Hogan only looks maybe a hair above the 6'2 1/2'' mark next to Lennox Lewis on wireimage.com (search ''hulk hogan'' then page 3 of the results). I'm a boxing fan, too, and would peg Lennox at 6'4 1/2'' in bare feet.

Hey Paul, sorry I'm so late replying! No, haven't been to the UK yet still. I'll possibly be over there a fair bit in the future on business. Where abouts in England do you live? Maybe we could meet up to catch a WWE show oneday as they're over there quite a bit. I live in Perth - the closest (well, if you can call it that in any sense) big city in Australia to Europe.

I checked out gettyimages and there's a picture of Hogan and Snoop Dogg, they look the same height. Also, on gettyimages the pictures can be enlarged but on wireimage.com however they are too small to judge from accurately. They can't be enlarged, unless you pay, of course.

I am 6'3" and I encountered Hulk Hogan while walking into Islands of Adventure, a theme park in Orlando, he is considerably shorter than me... I would give him maybe 6' (being generous). Also, my fiancee nearly hit him as he was getting out of his truck, she stated that he didn't seem that tall either. I wouldn't trust the measurements given of professional wrestlers, who are supposed to be "larger than life" to be accurate. If he does appear taller than that, I am guessing he wears elevator shoes religiously...

I think that 6'3.5" listing is correct. I was just on wireimage.com and they have pics of Hulk Hogan standing beside Snoop Dogg and Lennox Lewis. He is shorter than both of them in the pics. It's crazy how he shrunk so much over the years!

I think he still looks about 6'4 today, after all he was an inch and a half taller than Ferrigno. Bad posture might account for the rest. As for his prime height, 6'5 or 6'5.5 is my best "guesstimation". I don't think he was a full 6'6. Even the Hogan cardboard standup they are selling at wwe.com is 6'5" tall. Now if he was 6'5 in his prime and now stands slightly below 6'4 I would have to say that's normal shrinkage for a man his age and of his size. Say he lost 1.5 inches, that's believable.

The incredible shrinking man? He was huge! Is this the biggest case of lost inches on this site of what? Obviously we can't make a case for 6'7" in his prime....I'm willing to go 6'6" judging by the Hillbilly Jim photo and Andre pic. But now? I'm having a hard time saying 6'4", maybe even 6'3"...did Hogan wear lifts? Can we chalk up 3' to surgery?

Jordan- they did a job of cleaning up Port Richmond. It used to be a troubled school but they got a new principal a few years ago and it's a nice school. They don't tolerate any ****. Tottenville on the other hand is becoming worse and worse each year. There was a gang fight 4 years ago where the principal got decked and a dean was injured.

Don't worry about it Jordan. A little word of advice if I may, get back into it slowly. Don't make the same mistake I did recently and try to go to heavy too fast, because you'll injure something. Muscle has memory and will get back up to your personal best in no time at all. Just be patient and don't get frustrated with yourself because you ain't as strong as you once were!

320-330? HAHAHAHAHA! (is it april 1th today?) that was a well known lie in a desperate attempt from wwf to trying to make him bigger than "incredible hulk" (lou ferrigno). Hogan has never been heavier than 300 pounds. not even close dude! imo, he was never even over 280. since all weight of the big guys is up- billed with 10-20% or more. (vader is a good example; 350 lbs upbilled to 450)And ofcourse Hogan looked almost as tall as 6'7 john studd, becouse of his 2 inch lifts.

Between the age of 19-23 I was at my absolute peak, both in sheer size and strength and pain NEVER stopped me. I'll be 29 next month. I'm still in good shape and getting back up there. I only weigh about 176-178 today and my chest is MAX 44", legs 24.5", neck is just over 17". Arms are still about 17" pumped. If I devoted myself to weights like I used to, I would get back up there, but it's harder to achieve that same level the older I get. My body isn't as resiliant as it used to be!!! Think about this, Arnold hit his peak in his late 20's. Dorian hit his in his early to mid 30's, then again, they were far from natural.
Viper, Hogan was a MASSIVE man and I believe the 6'6" measurement for him and in 1979 he was between 320-330 pounds. He lost weight for Rocky III. At times in 1984-1985 he looked as tall as 6'7" Big John Studd. Like Andre, he's a shadow of his former self.

Tiny was listed at 6'7" as well. Thing is Tiny wore crazy boots, much like Kane wore and Hogan wore normal looking boots when they had face offs in 1989. I say that they were probably the same height then or Hogan may have even been taller. It's hard to tell because of the footwear Tiny had on.

I'd say lister is a full inch taller, if you look at their shoulders you can see he is looking down slightly. The weird thing is when he first hit the acting scene he was billed as 6'5. He was also barely taller then that Tony Todd in the film "Butter," Todd really looks his billed 6'5 though.
I really do think that Hogan was 6'5 at the most, they were worse for exaggerating height back in the day and they sometimes billed him as 6'6 so I do he was ever actually that height. Wow I'm starting to become the sites Jason! du duh duh!!!

Thats absolutely right Kiat! there was only 2 1/2 - 3 inches between them. let me explain this out... like i have said before, lets say hogan was 6'5 (6'7 with all his lifts) and UT 6'8 1/2. (close to 6'10 in shoes). That will be nearly 3 inch of diffentent between them. and there was around 2 1/2 inch between Hogan and justice. from that time, I put sid at 6'8 top. and taker at 6'8 1/2 atleast. If you watched hogan vs taker at backlash 2002, there was nearly 5 inch between them

Ola, if the Undertaker is really 6'8 and a half or 6'9 (billed as 6'10 and a half by the WWF) in his prime in Survivor Series 1991, then Hulk Hogan should be at least 6'6 (billed as 6'8) in 1991 since there are only 2.5 to 3 inches between them. Moreover, if Sid Justice is really 6'8 (billed as 6'9 by WWF)and he is just a little shorter than the Undertaker (maybe half an inch), then Hulk hogan should be 6'6 since there are no more than 2 inches between Hulk Hogan and Sid Justice. I don't know why you keep downgrading Hogan's height.

Glenn, Monsoon was I believe a legit 6'6" man in his younger days. Maybe 6'5" and change at the very least. He was only slightly shorter than Pyscho Sid at the '97 Slammy Awards and he was already over 60 years old at that point. JYD was 6'2"-6'3" and weighed between 260 and 305 pounds.

It must be noticable he has shrunk. Because you notice that when Randy Orton was mocking him, he brought someone to the ring that was about 3 or 4 inches shorter than him and said it was hogan.

I would have to agree with what Rob has him at. His Peak height 6'6( 6'5 1/2 at the lowest) and 6'3.5 nowadays. This seems the most accurate since I think 90% of us belive that Hogan has def. lost height over the years.

Hulk Hogan has really shrunk a lot since his WWF days. As we can see, in the 80s, Hulk Hogan looked really tall and with boots, he could really be 6'8 tall. His height was listed as 6'8 in most of the WWF magazines back then and by commentators and the media. Maybe he is really close to 6'7 (Let's say 199 -200 cm). I believe Hulk Hogan when he said that he used to be around 6 ft 7. As there are so many Hulkamania fans (millions of them) who idolized Hulk Hogan (including me), definitely he will not deceive his fans who have supported him all these years. Now he is really only about 6ft 4. Maybe with 3 inch lifts, he could still pass off as 6'7 which is now what WWE has listed. I still feel sad that Hulk Hogan has shrunk so much as he used to be so big and strong then and he was also a hero to all. He could size up to even the largest guys.

Yeah Glenn, it wasn't bs. Hogan was HUGE in the 80's. Well over 300 pounds and at least 6'6". He made Donald Trump, Jesse Ventura, Muhammed Ali and even Goerge Foreman look short pre-1990.

It is quite difficult to estimate the wrestlers' heights. As you can see, when Hulk Hogan and the Rock were standing face to face, they were almost the same height. Then when the Rock and Randy Orton were standing face to face, Randy sememed to have an inch over the Rock. However when Hulk Hogan stood next to Randy Orton, Hogan seemed to be taller by half an inch to an inch. This is very strange.

Glenn, Hogan used to claim he was 6'6" in interviews (probably post 1990). In 2004-2005 he claimed that he has officially lost 3" in height, going from 6'7" to around 6'4", due to all of his surgeries over the years. Thing is, he was probably only about 6'6" in his prime and under 6'4" today.
Warlord, don't encourage Ola. PLEASE don't encourage him!!! ;)...lol. No way is Taker 6'8.5" today. Kane isn't even that tall and Kane is taller than Taker. Taker is at most 6'7.5"-6'7.75" and that's being very generous.

Danimal,
I think Ola is correct on the Taker (wrong on Hogan though). My first hand account I posted from a friend (scroll down) says he's definitely not shorter than 6 foot 8 and that was only about 2 months ago. How can you say not even close to 6 foot 8? Remember, this friend is 6 foot 3 and also has met my brother's other friend who is 6 foot 10. He knows the difference between over 6 foot 8 and barely 6 foot 7. I say Taker was at least 6 foot8-1/2 and possibly 6 foot 9 in his prime and is still at least 6 foot 8 today. I also think Hogan is about 6 foot 4-1/2 today (I say 6 foot 5-1/2 or 6 foot 6 prime). For one thing, his boots appear to have thin soles. Probably because he can't move around much. Also, they pump up McMahon's height on occassion. He looks taller compared to other wrestlers too, not just Hogan. I'd say the difference bewteen Taker and Hogan today is 3.5 to 4 inches.

If Glenn said 6'4 for Hulk, I think it's time to up the Hulkster half an inch again. Frankly Hogan looks 6'4 even today, when he stands straight that is. He has very bad posture sometimes.
During the match with Orton Hogan looked shorter until he stood erect , then he was taller.

Well...Danimal, Hogan has never been over 6'5 that for sure. Undertaker had him by atleast 3 inches back in 1991. (5 today...)
Frank, Hall could also has been taller back then. The guy is not so young anymore he is going to turn 48 later this year and could have shrunk 1/2 inch the past 10-15 years.
Like i said... Hogan is probarly 6'3 1/2 today. i dont know how tall he was in nitro back in 96-99. But Hall had a 1/2 inch to Hogan there.
And... I still believe the rock being 6'4 ;)

Ola, you're right about Hogan pre-1990 being taller than Hall (I'd say by at least 1-2"). Hogan was Hall's height in the NWO days (1996-1999). Today, Hall would have probably 1-2" on Hogan, sad as it is to say.

well i can confirm 2 things guys 1) when hogan had his pic taken with donald trump and andre the giant, he had trump by several inches who is like 6'2 i think, hogan did look 6'6 there 2) I didnt meet hogan but he walked by me once before a smackdown event i had front row, he was like 2 inches taller then me i'm 6'2 had sneakers on, he had his wrestling boots, i was shocked, i thought he was going to be at least 6'6, but i can confirm he's at least 6'3, but under 6'5 now of days, but he's had alot of operations and juiced up alot i'm sure (his bone structure now of days is tiny compared to 1990's)

Danimal,
I agree with you on DiBiase. He's definitely a good 6 foot 3. However, I have some info for you on the Undertaker that I think you will be interested in. I actually tried to post this last weekd on the Taker's page, but it didn't post. I was at my brother's house 2 weekends ago for a birthday party and his good friend (and mine too) of over 20 years came up for it. His friend works at a major US airport (I'll keep that anonymous) and was telling us that he ran into the Undertaker about a month or so ago at the airport. He actually walked over and had a 5 minute conversation with him. My brother's friend is exactly 1/8 of an inch less than 6 foot 3. He's also been a wrestling fan for 25+ years as well. He's not someone who would even care about overstimating someone's height either. Now, thinking of this board I asked him specifically how tall he looked and if he appeared taller than another of my brother's friends who stands a solid 6 foot 10. His response was that the Taker was about 6 foot 9 or close to it. When I asked him about the 6 foot 10 guy he said the Taker was not quite as tall as that guy. Then I asked him if perhaps he was 6 foot 7 or so- trying to establish a definite minimum. He said no way was he less than 6 foot 8. He still stood on closer to 6 foot 9. So, that is a recent firsthand close-up encounter that also lasted a fair amount of time. I've always attested the Taker was 6 foot 8-1/2 and this backs up my claim. I don't buy anyone who claims he's less than 6 foot 8. I've read some who post as low as 6 foot 6 and that is just an utter joke.

yes, when i started to watch wcw nitro 1996, scott hall had always about 1/2-1 inch to hogan. so Hall is little taller than the rock ;) Hall looks to be max 6'4 1/2 to me.
so yes all are about the same height. max 1 inch between them all.
and i think a 6'5 Hogan from 1990 would be taller than Hall

Ola...Hogan definitely didn't wear lifts when he wrestled Rock. In fact he had half an inch on The Rock as most here will agree. It may be a bit generous to give Rock 6'3... sometimes he looks only slightly over 6'2.

In survivor series 91 there is maybe only little over 3 inch between hogan and UT.(6'5 and 6'8 1/2) but if you watch backlash 2002, there is a good 5 inch between them(6'3 1/2 and 6'8 1/2). UT towers over hogan there.
but i cant see hogan wearing that big hights in his boots in any of those matches like he did when he faced rock(sadly for wwe, they simple recognize that the rock was taller than hogan and gave hogan alot of hights in they're matches. "immortal" hulk hogan CANNOT look to be shorter than rock, wwe wouldnt accept that). In fact... Hogan had only 1-1/2 inch to brock lesnar. Rock had 2 inch on lesnar... Hogan had only 1 inch to goldberg back in 1997/98. Rock had atleast 1 1/2 inch on goldberg. Comparing to other opponents rock looks to be taller. there's only in hogans matches with the rock he seems to be at the same height, or little taller. (due to his heights)

In those recent photos with his family and on his show, Hogan is looking rather short. For some it may bring a tear to the eye when they see his daughter not looking much shorter next to him. I gotta say, it must be a big let down for many of the little hulksters out there who grew up and faced reality. He's still cool though, brother. By the way, like many other wrestlers, UT had his height grossly exaggerated over the years. They used to refer to him as 7 ft. several times and of course the common 6'10. If I gave UT 6'7 peak actual height that would be a bit generous. Big Skinny Nash is taller, with 6'9 seeming logical.

I know BBM trimemd down alot, but ring announcers also know diddly. I can't remember where I read/heard it, but they basically go off approximations. i remember a match once with Hulk, and G Monsoon said he had trimemd down to 270 (was mabbe the Earthquake match?) yet the ring announcer still rang out the old, '302 lb' routine.
I am amazed at that ted DiBiase height, but meetings are the best way to determine height I think.
I'll look for that Hogan tag match. As for Sid, I have him at 6 ft 6 in, cas I don't think he was 6 ft 8 in. I was mates with Bulldog and he told me how big Sid was. Kev Nash is a legit 6 ft 9 in and he has a couple inches on Sid and Undie.

Halb, Bossman wasn't always listed at 357. Read what I wrote. As time went by, the annoucers WERE calling him out at a lighter weight starting in 1990, until he left the WWF. That was done because his whole gimmick (other than being a correctional officer) was his SIZE. When he was trimming down, they couldn't ignore that. Maybe he didn't want them to either and that's why they didn't. Same with Undertaker, who's weight loss was noticeable and hence the 328 pounds became 305 and same with Hogan's 303 down to 275 when he came back to the WWE in 2002.
Ola, met Dibiase in CT with my friend in a restaurant. My friend is 6'3" and weighs 220. Dibiase was at the table next to us. When he went to pay the check, my friend did as well. Ted looked taller and was definitely wider (at least 250-260 pounds).
Halb, go to Youtube and type in Big John Studd, or King Kong Bundy. What you'll get is a tag team match between Hogan and Andre vs. Studd and Bundy from 1985. There are better matches between Studd and Hogan from 1984-1985, but this one you can still see that Studd was barely taller than Hogan. Even Undertaker and Psycho Sid (who were both close to 6'8") were barely taller than Hogan in 1991 and Hogan already lost over an inch in height by that time.

I have been trying to find some of my old wrestling tapes. It should be quite easy, has anyone got a pic of Hogan next to Big John Studd? Studd was 6 ft 7 in tall. And so at that height if Hogan really was 6 ft 6 in, then the difference should be barely noticable? Anyone got a good pic?

hogan today may be between 6ft 3 - 6ft 4.
In his prime, i believe he was at legitimate 6ft 6. still a fairly tall guy, but not 6ft 8 for sure.

I'll bet just about any celebrity would at the very least try to squeeze an extra inch (usually more) when questioned about their actual height. For Hogan, he's probably about 6 ft 3 at present. In old 80's wrestling footage he tends to look taller at times compared to recent footage, but then again it varies depending on the size of the opposing wrestler in comparison. As for 6'7 peak, NOPE! Maybe Hogan can be billed at 6'8 again if he wrestles Mysterio in the next W-Mania. Of course, Mysterio will have to be stated as at least 6 ft. lol

If BossMan said he was 380 fine, ring announcers don't really care aboot weight that's why Bossman was always hailed as 357 even tho his weight fluctuated. Tho when he dropped down to 270 his 'ring weight' was hailed at around 310.
U can correct me with all the incorrect info you want, Bundy looked to be the same height as Reed, and shorter than Rude, he's not 6 ft 4 in.:oD
Hogan didn't look 4 inches shorter than Andre at WM3 at his 'supposed' 6 ft 6 in height. I can guess that he rounded up to 6 ft 5 when he was younger, but was prolly more like 6 ft 4 barefoot. I had a mate who met him at poolside once, he said he was not as big as he thought he would be and aboot my height but not more.

Viper, guaranteed if you had Hogan stand next to Ted Dibiase today, that they would sadly be the same height. Ted claims he was 6'4". I believe he was at least 6'3" (he was tall) and YES, Hogan had him by at least 3" in 1979. In the NWO (1996-1999), Hogan had him by about 1.5" and as I said, if anything Hogan would have him by MAX .5" today. Sad But True.

Jordan, he was 380 in 1987-1988. By 1989-1990 he was 357. 1991 he was 337, 1992 he was 317, 1993 he was 277. Listen to the annoncer before his matches. They weren't hiding or masking the fact that he was getting thinner. It was very noticeable.

No, Halb, he was 6'5" in High School, not College and NO, he hadn't lost 3" in 1990. According to him, he lost 1.25" at that point. He later lost another 1" at some point in the mid to late 90's and then yet another inch in 2000-2004. I believe that it happenend in 3 cycles.
Finally, Bundy WAS indeed about 6'4". Minimum 6'3". He was over 440 pounds and tall. Big John Studd had only about 3-4" on him.
Finally, I hate to keep correcting you Halb, but Bossman weighed 380 according to him in 1987. By the early 90's (not late), he was down to 277 pounds according to him he lost over 100 pounds and it showed. He was actually quite muscular and in great shape by the end of his life. He was 6'4" and Hogan had him by a couple of inches in interviews and in their matches.
No, Halb, he was 6'5" in High School, not College and NO, he hadn't lost 3" in 1990. According to him, he lost 1.25" at that point. He later lost another 1" at some point in the mid to late 90's and then yet another inch in 2000-2004. I believe that it happenend in 3 cycles.
Finally, Bundy WAS indeed about 6'4". Minimum 6'3". He was over 440 pounds and tall. Big John Studd had only about 3-4" on him.

I agree Bossman was prolly 6 ft 4 in. He weighed 350ish when he joined WWF and dropped 70 lbs of flab down to 270 in late 90ish.

I can see that Hogan was 6'5 mabbe in his prime, that's what he was in college, but anything more than that is wrestling add on. When Orton and Hogan had their first chat, Orton looked much taller to me, mabbe Hogan has lost an inch-inch half, I doubt more than that, I still go with the statement from below. Had Hogan lost 3inches when he faced Warrior in 90 danimal? Cas there isn't much height diff betwen him and the 6'2 Warriot there.:oD At WMIII there was more than 4 inches diff between Andre and Hogan, and King Kong Bundy was not 6 ft 4, look at the survivor series cover, he was same height as Butch Reed.

Bossman is prolly 6'4 -6'5. He was billed at 6'6 and 6'7 but 6'4 sounds more like the real truth

JT, when Bossman entered the WWF, he was a legit 380 pounds. He lost 100 pounds throughtout the years. He was never listed at 6'9". He was listed at 6'7" and then 6'6". He was a legit 6'4" guy and Hogan had him by 2" in all their matches and interviews prior to 1990.

Ed, Boss Man looked around 6'5" to me. IIRC, WWF billed him at 6'9" when he made his first appearance. He was very fat too. I think they first billed him at around 390 lbs.

Does anybody know how tall the boss man was? Cause Hulk was more than an inch taller. Could have been lifts but i doubt it. The summerslam match with John tenta in the end when boss man and hulk stand side by side in the ring, he has atleast an inch and a half on the boss man.

If Hogan has a half inch on Randy Orton, that would pretty much make Orton 6-3 flat as Ive been saying all along.

What's also obvious is that when Hogan wears jeans, you can clearly see how small his legs and hips are today. That hip surgery made him look tiny and short in the legs. That and his fused neck must have been the 2 things that brought him below 6'4" from his 6'5" WCW days. It's even obvious from 2000 to 2002. I wonder how much height one can lose from new hips?

I think the difference was exactly the same as when they met the first time in the ring. (When Hogan was with Brook)
Hogan looked half an inch taller than Orton.
My personal view is that if both men were barefeet Hogan would be the taller of the two. To me Hogan looks very close to 6'4, just look at the photos of him and Lou Ferrigno. Also in his Show (Hogan knows best) he always wears sandals which have no heel. All people around him wear regular shoes so naturally that will make them look taller. Brook often wears high heels.

Hogan may have been in lifts or bigger boots. Barefoot I think Orton would be a bit taller.

You guys happen to see Raw last night!! When Hulk faced Orton and stood up really straight, he was about 0.5" taller as Randy. So he could still be 6'4".

The orthopedic surgeon who worked on me works on the San Antonio Spurs. He's a knee & hip joint guy. He said the NBA heights are IN SHOE heights. So, "fudged" by 1 to 2 inches. I can't SEE 4-5 inches!

Hey Rob, when did you drop Hogan to 6'3.5". I don't doubt he's between 6'3.25" and 6'3.5", but when did you make the change and what prompted you to do so?

Louie, Barkley is anything looks taller than 6'4.5" WITHOUT shoes. He isn't 6'3". You have to make claims Louie, by providing us with evidence, otherwise your claims have no credibility with us and you just come across as not knowing what you're talking about.
