Canson, does Wade look 6'2 range on video with Strahan..yes or no.
Harden is closer to camera, those type of photos are easy to skew difference. I am not going to go through debating a million photos of Wade with various people on this page as it wouldn't be fair to those who want to discuss Hulk Hogan not D Wade. You are simply going to have to come up with much stronger evidence than he said/she said or photos where both guys are exactly in same spot or same erect stance to convince me NBA mis-measured by upwards of an inch.
Re Barkley and Hogan. Well there isn't a video of either together so best we can do in that situation is compare. I have been a pro wrestling fan since the early 80s (started by watching the UK stuff then WWE circa 86). Point being I have never seen Hogan look as tall in-ring as Barkley looked in that 95 clip. So far I have seen one person say Gene lost height by 95 (how exactly, he wasn't a wrestler, he didn't have neck surgery like Bobby Heenan) and that Barkley's footwear could be issue. I am no expert on footwear but they look pretty normal to me.

Canson,
Wade was most likely 6’3 3/4” peak/prime morning barefoot height...and 6’3 3/8”-ish afternoon height. And is now 6’3 3/8” morning barefoot & 6’3” to 6’2 7/8” afternoon/evening. At least that’s how it looks over the past 2-3 years...IMO

Here’s another pic of Harden (6’3.5 max) 6’4 morning height in front of Wade and is taller. Wade struggles at 6’3 let alone 6’3.75. Looks 190cm

@Vegas: I didn’t accuse you of copping out. I said that that is a cop out to say that the measurement isn’t valid and you aren’t the only one on this site who said that. But all I said is common sense is that they measured Barkley at the Olympics. I highly doubt that they would publicize such a specific measurement if it is not an actual measurement. It’s a bit weird as well to say that the measurement isn’t accurate yet to say that someone’s combine measurement is and Rob even mentioned handshake deals etc. when someone’s future is at stake and money on the line I would expect that one to be embellished. in addition, Shawne Merriman and Kyler Murray’s obviously aren’t accurate measurements of either guy. All I’m saying is his Olympic measurement adds up with how his peers and coaches and analysts have pegged Barkley during his career. As far as Hogan and Barkley, I don’t see pics of them when Hogan was in his true prime in the early 80s or late 70s. If Hogan really was 6’5” or over he was taller than a guy who only measured in at 6’4 5/8 or even if we used Rob’s measurement of 6’4 7/8 (if anything that is the one I question because it came from a reporter who likely heard something third party and it’s the only reference I’ve seen of it). I’ve seen the 6’4 5/8” in Sports Illustrated captioned. Now I don’t rule out Barkley possibly wearing some thicker footwear in some pics he’s in off the court where he can appear taller in addition to him clearly having camera advantage in several pics people have posted here. And while we are on the subject of Wade, here he is with 6’3” range Bradley Beal. Assuming that the 6’3.25 height is not his morning height and I don’t think it is as he looks 6’3” range to others who have met him but he’s clearly taller than Wade. It’s likely that Beal has grown a smidge since his draft as he would’ve only come out around 6’2.5-6’3 himself if he measures 6’3.25 in the early morning.
Click Here
Here is Wade being referred to as 6’4 on a great day. A guy who is really 6’3.75 barefoot and 6’4.75 in sneakers is not 6’4” on a great day. Not even a good day, a great day. He obviously isn’t as tall as advertised. Otis Smith Orlando’s GM and his own head coach Erik Spoelstra also said that he’s 6’4 on a good day and have obviously spent time around him to tell. A guy who measures 6’3.75 will still look 6’4”. Also Lebron who is his best friend said that he’s 6’3” max. He really looks a weak 6’3” next to Beal and to other players in the league but if he somehow managed 6’3” afternoon height it’s likely that the 6’3.75 is a result of an early measurement (rounded up likely from around 6’3.5) or that he was not on his feet prior to measuring

Greg: 1 thing i urge you to stop doing is looking at terry 1995_2000,s. I have repeated many times terry 1977 was taller than 1995. You can,t tell me seriously that terry couldn,t of lost a 1-1.5 inch between 1977_2000. That is very realistic. In 1999 he was 6,5. In 1992 he was 6,5.5 probably 6,6 then and go back to his debute, 6,6_6,6.5 seems bang on target to me.

Well done henry, you obviously have found out how tall terry really was prime and alot of people will laugh at you but i won,t. If he was as tall as you say then i wouldn,t of believed it before. I respect your stated height. Pherhaps you could prove to greg terry stood 6,9, Yet greg wants to take the piss out of me when i can do it to him also. Ronster is 100% right. Saying hogan was 6,8 is no more rediculous than saying he was 6,4.5.

Greg: you can laugh all you want. I am taking the piss and you fell for it. But seriously terry did stand a good 4_4.5 inches taller than ed leslie who was 6,2 100% bang on. Now if you can,t see that then you must be blind. You can never see what i am pointing out. Or you just don,t want to notice my points of view.

When you see Hogan with 6'2 warrior nearly 6'6" earthquake and 6'7" Sid you'd have to put him at 6'5 peak possibly 6'5.5" only really looked 6'6 with with Jake the snake and Andre. Giant Baba looked to have close to 4" on him aswell and Baba would struggle with 6'9"

@Sotiris: I think 6’4.5 peak maybe 6’4 5/8 for Barkley like he measured. 6’4.75 a couple hours earlier and over 6’5 by a bit out of bes

Canson this site is for entertainment purposes not serious discussion so accusing me of copping out is a bit weird.
Again Wade measurement stats are up in the official NBA site, others you listed are not. You are also referring to third party meetings or he said/she said. I have been on here long enough to realize how poor in person estimations often are even things like Tussauds waxworks where I have seen people estimate (incorrectly) the same waxworks I and my friends have stood next to by 2-3 inches and these are people Obsessed With Height enough to post on a site like this.
You said Hogan was taller at peak than Barkley yet you haven't posted any video comparison to back up that statement yet!
Back to Wade, here he is on video next to Michael Strahan around 6 minute mark Click Here

Greg: the first time i read this sight on terrys height, i was shocked to of found that people give terry a less than 6,5 prime. I had to intervene and post what i really thought and thats where my debate has escalated, because i know full well myself terry was never less than a 6,6 prime legend and i still stand by that and always will. When you say 6,4.5 prime, im scratching my head thinking WHAT THE F YOU MUST BE F BUZZING. thats my response and to anyone that thinks that. Obviously i am taking terry 1977 6,6_6,6.5 then_and 6,5 2000. Thats not going over the top. That is very respectful and 150% honest. There is nothing silly with that is there??. Just so you know i don,t need mental health assistance. That is going a step too far now. I just got too excited in trying to prove my point thats all which is why i called you a total F prat. I am being deadly serious and i know that canson will tell you also i am being deadly serious with my claim of terry 6,6_6,6.5.prime. He will tell you himself.

Canson: i do have to agree with you though. I don,t think it would of suited terry if he did stand 7,0 bare foot in his prime. He stood a good decent height and i don,t think he would od been any stronger if he did stand 7,0 bare foot anyway.

I have been accused of going on the high side of terry and mark oh and dwayne. Sorry i am only trying to be 150% accurate and not 150% false. My apologys goes out to anyone i have offended in my messages. I never ment to offend anyone. Everyone is free to their opinion and i do except that alot. But all i will say is if anyone is trying to be on the conservative side of terry and marks height and i am only saying if they are then it doesn,t and can,t prove anything. I just feel it,s only right to try and be 150% accurate and therefore i am staying with 6,6.5 prime for terry based on the pics i have seen. But like i said also, looking at pics is 1 thing, but standing right up close to that person is another thing.

@Sotiris: Barkley measured 6’4 5/8” in 1992 at 29. That was his peak height as others around the league even pegged him at closer to 6’4” when he played. A 6’4.75 guy doesn’t look 6’4” to anyone so chances are he was really 6’4.5 at a low. It’s always been an excuse about the measurement not being proven. I don’t know how much more valid you get than 6’4 5/8. And common sense, when a player is measured at the Olympics there would be no reason to inflate or deflate whereas a player at the combine, their career is on the line even by an inch. I mean let’s be real, look at Shawne Merriman. We know he’s not 6’4 3/8 or Kyler Murray being 5’10 1/8 lol
@Sotiris: Barkley measured 6’4 5/8” in 1992 at 29. That was his peak height as others around the league even pegged him at closer to 6’4” when he played. A 6’4.75 guy doesn’t look 6’4” to anyone so chances are he was really 6’4.5 at a low. It’s always been an excuse about the measurement not being proven. I don’t know how much more valid you get than 6’4 5/8.

Greg: take a very good look at terry with ed leslie in some very old pics, i would say late 70,s for sure. Now ed leslie had a billed height of 6,4. But he was 6,2 late 70,s 100%. When you look at terry and him, i sure can see a good 4_4.5 inches in terrys favour. Both wearing same footwear. So terry couldn,t of been 6,4 back then. You have got to be buzzing to really think so.

@Vegas: the article that had Barkley at 6’4 5/8 didn’t mention anything about Larry Bird. The one you are referring to said that Barkley was 6’4. They wouldn’t round 6’4 5/8 down to 6’4”. You’re talking one where they simply knocked two inches off. The only two referenced were Barkley and Magic in the one I’m discussing. And that’s a cop out saying just because Wade’s is “official”. That’s no more official than Shawne merriman’s 6’4 3/8 as we know he isn’t that tall. Wade and others who refer to his height wouldn’t say he’s 6’4 on a good day if he’s really 6’3.75. Common sense would say that Wade had money on the line when he was drafted whereas Barkley was well established and didn’t need to lie about his height at that stage. So saying “it wasn’t confirmed that it took place” is a major cop out. I think there’s been enough 6’4-6’5 references and people saying how he looked who played with him to validate Barkley’s height. I’m sure someone who played with him would’ve called him out at some stage about downplaying his height especially being he wasn’t well liked by all of his peers.

@Vegas and Canson If you look at Brady, his body looks normal... Barkley's waist is too high up; he's 1/3 torso w/ T-Rex/Cee Lo Green arms, and 2/3 legs (yes, I'm exaggerating). Bottom line, something was going on w/ his footwear that day. The first time I saw that video surprised me b/c he definitely looked taller than he should have. That said, Barkley was never more than 6'4.75" peak height, and is max 6'4.5" now.

@Dan Reynolds: even if Hogan responded with what he claims it believes his true height was in his prime, it doesn’t mean that he was really as tall as he claimed. Not sure if you are aware but most guys lie about their height. It’s no different than a person I know who says he’s 6’3.75 and claims 6’4”. Everyone literally calls him out as he often wears flip flops. The guy would at most be 6’3” perhaps even a weak 6’3”. At 6’4.25 there’s over an inch between us and seeing him next to a 6’3” friend he doesn’t even look as tall at times and other times the same height. But he inflates everyone else to make himself taller but he claims his height so he’s really that height? He’s not

Greg: just something else. If you took terry from his debute he would of stood eye level with deontay wilder for sure. Practically the same height. Terry prime. You probably wonder why i say terry all the time. Well firstly that is his real name and second calling him hogan or hulk just doesn,t sound impressive to me at all because they are his fake names and as a true fan of terry i like to call him by his first name which is terry. I think terry would much prefer to be called terry anyway as a mark of respect and i do respect terry very much. I do think saying terry sounds so much more impressive to me than calling him hogan or hulk. I mean what rubbish. Hulk, hulk the toy. Hogan the business man. Can you understand where i am coming from. Terry spunds so much greater in the ring or in an interview. Well i sure think so anyway. Terry sounds much more impressive to me 100%.

Greg: andre the giant did tip 7,0 and i agree with robs listing. He was no way less than 6,11 anyway not 6,10. Randy savage just under 6,1 not 5,11.5. Roddy piper was 6,1 not 6,0 he claimed 6,1.5 and you want to say terry was no more than 6,4.5. So then it really does go to show that you do go on the conservative side of true heights and you want to say my comments are a joke and you want to try and take the piss out ofmy comments. You keep looking at terry mid 90,s and say he was in his prime. Well he wasn,t the same height compared to debute terry. He was 6,5 in 2000 and go back 20 years to that. Are you really going to tell me he was a good 6,6_6,6.5 and your comments about terry show alot of biasism to me so if that is the case i can never agree with you. It doesn,t matter how many many pics you post. Facts do speak for themselves and it doesn,t mean your right either.

6’5-6’5.5 peak. He would likely have been a bit over 6’5 peak, but if he were measured today he may come out a hair above 6’3.

@Vegas: I’m not seeing what you are I guess. And you hold on to Dwayne Wade measuring 6’3.75 so youre not challenging his measurement so why do you challenge Barkley measuring 6’4 5/8? That seems to me like you’re the one picking and choosing which measurements you want to believe just as you accused me of on the Rock’s page. Barkley measured that at the Olympics in 1992 so he is not taller than that.
-----------
Well as said Wades measurements are up on NBA's official site while that Barkley thing you are referencing was never officially confirmed..same article had Larry Bird at 6'7. That's my issue.
That's Barkley and flair again from 95 Click Here
Kimmel (similar height to Flair 25 years ago) and 6'4 3/8 measured Tom Brady with decent sized footwear too Click Here
Brady and Kimmel is how a 5'11 and 6'4 range person should look next to each other, Barkley and Flair really isn't.

I must be 5,7 instead of my real height of 5,10 bare foot. Really insane.

He was a good 6,6_6,6.5 back in 1977 so how the hell could terry of be no more than 6,4 in his prime. So if you really think that terry stood no more than 6,4 prime when you see him standing against a man james buster douglas who was infact 6,4 and you can see the height comparison with douglas having the footwear advantage also and you want to judge my mental state of mind then you really must be a total prat seriously.!!!

Hulk was 6'5/6'5.25 peak
I think the first time he started looking a fraction shorter was in the mid 90's, shortly after he joined WCW, he looked more 6'4.75/6'5 range at that time. He looked around 5 inches shorter than 6'9.5 Kevin Nash.
Towards the end of his WCW run in around 2000 he seemed to have dropped to more 6'4.25 range, his knees at this point were starting to cause him a lot of issues, and his general posture was more hunched.
His WWE run from 2002/2003, in good posture he looked a very solid 6'4, rarely did he stand tall though so more often than not looked shorter.
After many years of surgeries & ill health with his back, especially in his tenure with TNA he likely dropped to around 6'3 at best from 2010-2013, and could look shorter than that, his posture was a mess... after his large surgery to straighten his back after TNA, he has looked taller since, I do think if measured at full posture he would be over 6'3, not sure by how much though.
One thing with Hulk I've noticed over the years is, hunched he loses a lot of height, similar to The Rock, but when he stands straight, he often looks taller than you'd expect.

@ Sotiris,
Yeah, Randy Savage did indeed have on on Western Style Cowboy Boots that day. I was wearing Skechers Logger boots. So, at most, Savage had 0.25” footwear advantage on me. Sid’s boots were nowhere near as big as Kane’s...LOL! Sid’s boots were very comparable to Randy Orton’s.

It’s funny on this site that people believe when someone claims a shoe height as their barefoot height or some other made up or inflated number but they don’t want to believe a guy like Howard Stern Charles Barkley Ryan Reynolds etc when they claim barefoot measurements.
I still do believe that he would measure a full 6’3” in the afternoon with good posture but prob no higher. I just don’t believe he’s as low as a solid 6’2” like people are saying

@ Sotiris,
Having met Randy Savage in person (Summer 1997) when I was 21 years old. I’m right at 5’11” (5’11 1/8”) morning & (5’10 3/4”) evevning (barefoot) I pegged him right at 6’0” even...6’0 1/4” tops. That being said, It truly looks like Hogan was 6’5” even by the late 1980’s.
Hogan 6’5”
Douglas 6’3 1/4” to 6’3 1/2”
Savage 6’0” to 6’0.25”
I actually think Hogan with Rodman in 1995 looks 6’4 1/2”
IMO
Sid had huge boots back then, I think Hogan passes for 6’4 3/4” with Sid, accounting Sid’s huge boots.
@ Sotiris,
Having met Randy Savage in person (Summer 1997) when I was 21 years old. I’m right at 5’11” (5’11 1/8”) morning & (5’10 3/4”) evevning (barefoot) I pegged him right at 6’0” even...6’0 1/4” tops. That being said, It truly looks like Hogan was 6’5” even by the late 1980’s.
Hogan 6’5”
Douglas 6’3 1/4” to 6’3 1/2”
Savage 6’0” to 6’0.25”
I actually think Hogan with Rodman in 1995 looks 6’4 1/2”
IMO
Sid had huge boots back then, I think Hogan passes for 6’4 3/4” with Sid, accounting Sid’s huge boots.

People in general inflate their height by 1 inch, thats statistically proven. Not all people are bad or lying who do this, many do genuinely believe they are up to 1 inch taller. When people start tacking on 2 inches + though they know full well whats up. Now if Hogan did indeed measure 6'6" at his peak then 6'7" although wrong its understandable. Alot of guys I have met take early measurements and then round up to the nearest inch. That can give 1.5 inches ( 4cm) error which to me is inexcusable and should be commented on.
Some people change their claims and others well....they decide to live in a fantasy where their claim was never challenged.

He was shorter than Studd. Max for him would’ve been 6’5.5. I think anywhere around 6’5/6’5.5 in the afternoon fits him.

Remember: this was video footage of 6'4" Don Lane w/ Andre in 1978 (both men in cowboy boots):
Click Here Andre looks all of 6'10" here. This was 1978, not the early '90s, proof that Andre was never 7 feet tall... and proof that Daniel (R)eynolds' beloved "Terry" was never more than 6'5", maybe only 6'4.5" peak height. Don't believe me? Go back and watch the video. Still don't believe me...? Keep watching it till it finally sinks in. Hogan was NEVER 6'6", lol.

I doubt Hogan was ever more than 6'5" barefoot afternoon height. He was only 42 in 1995 and his surgeries began in 1998. I'm supposed to believe he was closer to 6'6" peak...? Gimme a break. And yes, I'm still one of those crazy ppl who think he might have been as low as 6'4.5" peak, similar to Bruiser Brody. I've already posted pics (footwear visible) of Hogan and Brody next to Stan Hansen -- they looked exactly the same height to my strained eyes. Keep in mind, Hogan is rumored to have worn internal lifts. The same goes for many wrestlers. Bottom line, IMHO, he was max 6'5", not even a sweat droplet more in height. Bruiser Brody was max 6'4.5", and he was billed as 6'8". Hogan was billed as 6'7" and 6'8". Coincidence? Maybe. As for Hogan's current height, he looked all of 6'2.5" next to 6'3.5" Troy Aikman back in 2010, and yet I'm supposed to believe he's now 6'3"...? Sorry, guys, don't think so. Just a reminder, Hogan turns 66 this year.

@Daniel (R)eynolds I jokingly referred to myself as "Greg." The fact that you can't see that makes me seriously question your mental acuity, as well as your overall mental health. No joke. Also, I never said Hogan is now 6'1.5". Those are your words, not mine. You worry me, bro.

Greg: i will say this. Deontay wilder today wouldn,t of been taller than terry when he first joined the wrestling world in my eyes. I honestly think they would of been level eyed and as for sid eurdy being taller well of course terry of say 1977 i think would of been his height. Terry had lost height between 1977_2000 and people have got to know that including yourself greg. Its all well and good thinking he was the same height in 2000 when i am pretty sure you know he wasn,t. Pics posted of dennis rodman again terry of the 1995_2000 time. I am not looking at terry in 2000. He was 6,5 in 2000 yes but was no less than 6,6 1977. RP you say that 90% of my claims are a joke and i should be Banned just because i don,t agree with you. I thought people a perfectly free to post their estmations. You shouldn,t go critising my claims.

1 other thing also. If someone looks 6,5 then don,t be suprised if they are infact 6,7. It may see kind of odd, but it can catch is out even when you do actually stand up close to a person like this. It has happened to me before and speaking of which, i know a fella who is 6,9. I remember asking him his height and he told me. I thought he was taking the piss simply because i thought he was a 6,6_6,7 guy. But no he was being as true and honest as can be. He isn,t a wrestler so don,t worry. He is someone i have known for a while and i come across him now and again. This guy is as he told me a 6,9 bare foot fella and what i am telling you here is no word of a lie because i did witness him being measured myself in his sitting room. So what i am saying just goes to show. Looking at someone in pics and vics is 1 thing, but the people themselves known best. When we look at someone big we only guess their heights.

Space: this message does go out to you if you are still posting and reading. I mentioned hogan was no less than 6,6.5 prime, you replied by saying a while back that hogan would of been 6,6 wearing sneakers. Well i don,t know what hogan you a really looking at and from what time but if we a looking at a hogan late 20,s then he would of been a good 6,8 wearing sneakers and not 6,6. He wasn,t any less than 6,6 bare foot and you will get those guys that will say he was only 6,4 prime and you could be 1 of those guys i don,t know, but the fact that he has lost so much height just underlines what i have been saying. You find it crazy that hogan has lost so much height to a point its unbelievable. Greg finds it impossible to believe but if terry as greg mentioned is now only 6,1.5 then that just really goes to show what i am saying. He is losing height all the time and had lost a fraction duren 1979_1989 which is what i said before. But 62b doesn,t think thats possible. But it certainly is when you are looking at all the bounces on the head, back and curbed spine with 10 solid years of heavy knocks. Remember terry isn,t alone when it comes to losing height with time in the WWF.

James Buster Douglas was 6'3.5". He looks 6'3" in the pic with Rob here on this site Daniel. There is no need to go elsewhere and guess.
I looked up the match where he is the referee and I saw 2" between him and Hogan which brings me back to my listing of 6'5.5" max.
If Douglas didn't lose much then maybe he was only 6'5.25". We can safely say though that Hogan wasn't under 6'5" peak.
Click Here
Here he is next to Rodman who is 6'6" range, he was around 6'3" and change back then and claimed to be again 6'5".

A human being doesn’t shrink from even taller than Charles Barkley’s height, to Dwayne Johnson’s height in that picture of them. That height difference is basically how much Hogan would have to have shrunk. I don’t think peak Hogan was quite as tall as 6’5.25” barefoot Charles Barkley. Hogan was 6’5” barefoot at the max, and 6’1.75” barefoot today.

@Heisenberg I never gave Martyn Ford more than 6'6", max. If Rico Verhoeven is really only 6'5", then Ford's under 6'6". W/ Baron Corbin (who's max 6'6", maybe even 6'5.75"), the pic looks to have been taken at an angle... Here it is again, only straightened... Click Here I'm guessing Ford had a footwear advantage.

Another thing i would urge doubters to try is look at terry and james buster douglas side by side in pics and then look up comparing heights. Douglas i have always known was 6,4 since he destroyed iron mike in feb 1990. So try a research with comparing heights. Type in 6,4 1 man and then type in 6,6.5 the other man and you will actually see that what looks like 1.5 inches is infact 2.5 inches and this comparison is 100% accurate and can,t lie. The only difference between this comparing heights and peoples opinions is that people can be off with heights. Or people can give biased opinions on what they really thinks isn,t true and then all sorts of people agree. I have looked it up and you will get 2 man symbols top man and bottom. Just type in your estimated heights and press a button that says compare. So greg your estimation of terry being 6,4.5 late 70,s is way off to me anyway.

Sometimes old video footages are even better to see someones true prime height rather than a pic itself. I recently watches a vid of hogan v randy savage with james buster douglas being the ref in that contest. Probably 1989 or around that time or possibly the time douglas gave iron mike tyson a horrible beating. Douglas cleary towered tyson by half a feet. Looking at douglas with hogan in that wrestlemania contest with randy savage, when douglas was holding terrys hands in the air, douglas height came up to terrys eye brows and douglas had a footwear advantage also if you look at that vid closely. If in doubt take a look at a few pics of them 2 side by side. Terry is clearly taller. There is another pic where terry is standing further back in a pic with douglas more forward to the camera, which means douglas looked taller just because he was more forward and terry was still taller in that pic. If people aren,t convinced then do please have a look at what i am pointing out. The vid and pics i am pointing out may well have people scratching their heads if they do doubt hogans height.

I don,t know want to say. I always believed hogan looked 6,6 and a little plus prime of course and i still stand by it by the pics and vids i have seen. But like i did say, the only fella that could tell you terrys true prime height is terry himself. He knows best. Some wrestlers do lie and now your going to call terry a liar because others lie. But he was around before the rest. Terry actually did say himself he was 6,6.5. I wouldn,t rule that out, but he was never any more than 6,6.5 in my opinion 1976 or not. That would of been it though, unless terry did wear nice soled nike trainers hairing 6,8 morning at brilliant best. I would say yes, but only just. I will stick with 6,6.5 for terry 1979.

@Dan Reynolds: it’s common sense though when it has to do with his claims of 6’5 and 6’7”. One he never looked 6’7” at his peak. Tiny Lister also said that they were the same height and Hogan looked a 6’5-6’6 guy max at his peak. Maybe Hogan edged Lister by a hair but not 2” or even an Inch. Lister was a legit 6’5”. And more importantly it’s less likely a guy who is 6’7 is going to say he’s 6’5 especially a pro wrestler than the opposite. If you took 10 random guys on the street and asked them their height I guarantee you that none of those 10 guys will undercut himself. I’m sure at least 5 of the 10 would add height. You would probably have to repeat that process like 20 times to get close to finding someone who undercuts his height by that much and even then you may find one person out of maybe 200 or even possibly more and that’s if the person is excessively tall. Hogan wasn’t even the tallest in his sport. And anyone who says that it’s highly likely for that to happen (guy claiming 2” less than the opposite) doesn’t know much about height. Rob listing him 6’6” is possible because the interview he had in the 90s was where he claimed 6’5 and he hadn’t lost 2” by that stage. If anything he wouldn’t have ever been a full 6’6 at a low maybe 6’5.5” and over 6’6 out of bed. Not a lot of people know that height varies like that

I agree with Johan that he didn’t wear lifts. They were very large boots which would make him 6’7/6’8 perhaps or maybe 6’7” and a hair. But some people here are saying he was 6’7” all because he claimed it which is nothing to even consider as far as evidence given how many other wrestlers lie about their heights. Was Triple H ever 6’4”? Never. He may have been a sub 6’2” honestly

You wouldn't be able to fit lifts in those cowboyboots Hogan wore. The boot was far too narrow and the incline would have been insane. Still those were solid 2 inchers which can make you appear an inch taller than what you actually measure. I still see a good 6'5" guy at his peak but the evidence of him ever being even 6'6" is very slim.
He maybe did an out of bed measurement in his 20's and got 6'6.5 and rounded it up. He has a long spine and so maybe losing an inch max instead of 3/4 like most people of average height.

Greg: the pic you posted of roddy piper and mr t face off in the centre of the ring. I do believe that is smokin joe frazier standing behind mr t. Smokin joe frazier was 5,10.5 and he looks shorter than mr t to me. Take a look at that pic you posted and look at smokin joe to mr t. Just so people do actual realise big john studd did infact wear elevators making stand 6,10 in a ring, so he wanted a height advantage over terry. But only had 2 inches on terrance who stood as i believe 6,8 wearing 1.5 inch boots. If you ever look at big john studd against terry in matches you can actual see how studds knees break meaning the elevators in his boots when he is moving around.

Melvin jones: this message goes out to you also. Hogan never wore 1.5 inch elevators in his boots. He never wore elevators full stop and i have never seen any evidence of it in all the years i whatched WWF. He would of been 6,9/6,10 if he did because there is no way he was 6,3/6,4 bare foot. So the claim you made of terry possibly being 6,7 with elevators in his boots just doesn,t make any sense. Big john studd stood 6,10 with elevators in a ring with hogan and he had a max 2 inches on him. Hogan wearing1.5 inch boots brings you to his bare foot height.

There are alot of people that wouldn,t give hogan 2 metres prime bare foot. People will look at him and say he is lying. But when terry said he was 6,5 in an interview he may well of been piss arseing about by saying that for all we know. Because at the top of this page he said he was 6,7. There are pics where terry looks almost andres height and there of course are pics where he looks shorter than his own height. But for anyone than has met him up close in the 80,s would know the difference between seeing terry on the telly in a ring and standing right next to him. I so wish i could of actually measured terry bare foot 1977. That would put this debate to bed completely.

Rob gave roddy piper a prime listing of 6,1 although piper did say he was 6,1.5 prime, but 6,1/1.85m sounds about right.

Greg: i will just say this. Hogan never wore internal lifts. There were those others that clearly did. In all the years i watched hogan he wore wrestling boots that is it as all wrestlers did anyway. There was never and elevation in hogans boots. I never saw it and i have watched wrestling since 80,s.

@Dan Reynolds: I don’t mean to say you don’t or do know more than Rob because Rob has been off before but usually it’s within 1/2” or so. In Hogan’s case I would think Rob has him slightly overlisted vs under. Meaning I would believe 6’5.5 at a low or even 6’5.25 before 6’6.5 or 6’7”

@Dan Reynolds: you lost me with many times out of bed and afternoon. Not many people measure themselves that often outside of this site or an athletic measurement that players receive. I know people who get measured in their 20s and don’t ever again unless by chance. As far as out of bed, you’re wrong there. Not many people even know that it varies and I’m not sure that Hogan would know

Canson, please post prof in the form of a video where Hogan ever said he was 6’5” in his prime.
Sortis, why do you have to try and belittle anyone who does not agree with your extreme low height guesstimate’s? Someone saying Hogan was 6’8” is no more ridiculous than another saying he was never above 6’4”-5”. The only real debatable height for a prime Hogan is within an inch, do you think he was 6’6” or 6’7” as he has stated numerous times when not in character. If he was trying to inflate his height he would ha e said he was 6’8 or 6’9” just as the announcers like Gorilla stated during numerous matches.
Post your comments, but remember to respect others as well.
Oh, and the Rock is not 6’2”, from everything I see he still is well above 6’3” and was for sure 6’4” at one time IMO. He like Hogan doesn’t seem to worry much about it and doesn’t stand tall most of the time making it easy to drum up pictures making him seem shorter

Canson: just remember also. From a distance, people leaning, different postures, different camera angles, bad pics and not to mention guys that are well past their primes. It is very easy to be off by 1_1.5 inches. If we looking at 3 inches however then it is alot easier to tell.

Canson: 6,5 range meaning 6,6 and no less. Rob lists hogan 6,6 and i would be going very low if i agreed with you in which i don,t. He pic with chris loyd was a perfect pic. In line with each others height. You will say footwear, but hogan would of been wearing nike trainers 1.5 inches thick. Loyd was wearing 1 inch shoes, so 0.5 inches would really mean nothing. Hogan was looking down meaning he would of lost height by doing so. I know i go on about that pic but it is a perfect pic which you wouldn,t find a better 1. I look at his best pics also. There is more than 1 person that does agree with me on this sight.

Canson: i would 100% agree with you on age normally. The only thing is and as you well know. Wrestlers tend to lose height with time. I can only put that down to all the years of bounces on the heads and backs. Stunts where a wrestler can get seriously injured and of course curbed spines. If you look at terry today. Rob gave him a listing 6,3. I would agree with rob. Terry is measured with knees bent 6,3 so he isn,t standing straight where he could be taller than 6,3 still if he could stand straight and terry is 65_66 now. He had 2 discs removed from his spine and has had his spine shortened as a result of it. But i can put height loss down to many years of heavy knocks. There could be 101 reasons why terry lost considerable height between the time i was born march 1977 and now that takes an effect. You would agree that mark isn,t as tall as he was 1991. You may well give mark a morning out of bed listing of 6,8 around early 90,s. Obviously when i say mark i do mean the great mark calloway.

@Dan Reynolds: so if Rock said he’s 6’5 then he must be? Wrong. He’s 6’2” and he lies about his height. How do you know that Hogan is not because he has before when he makes a cheeky remark. As for Barkley and Jordan they’re around the same height you’re correct. Both 6’4.5-.75 barefoot. Yes barefoot because shoes aren’t part of your body like Johan185 just said. Hogan peak was 6’5 range

@Daniel reynolds I'm only "Greg" on Wednesdays and Thursdays. (Not that it matters, but I pronounce "Wednesday" the way it's spelled -- but only on Mondays and Tuesdays.)
I hate the way Jared Leto stole Hogan's look at the this year's Met Gala... Click Here
vs. this... Click Here It's crazy, but they both do this to make themselves look taller. Weird, right?
If you're slightly confused by this post, it encapsulates the brain trauma I feel when trying to grasp your genius. Don't ever stop posting here. Promise me. I used to be a savant until a horse kicked me in the head. Now, sometimes I can smell colors. Purple smells like a bad John Goodman fart; but only from when he was more obese; certainly not now.

Greg: if ever you look at pics with hogan and ed leslie who was 6,2 late 70,s with hogan there looks to be a solid 4.5 inches in hogans favour. So terry couldn,t of been any less that 6,6_6,6.5 late 70,s. By the way, when i said stallone was 1.77m_5,10 that was infact his prime height not 5,8 lundren 6,5 prime. I have only known this since 1986 greg. I was 9 in 1986 and rocky 4 came out on VHS autumn 1986 around november_december 1986 and i had a booklet of rocky 4 back in 1986 and it had stallone and lundrens height stated respectfully. 5,10 stallone and 6,5 lundren.

Greg and canson: terry would of measured himself many times in his prime out of bed and afternoon. His billed height of 6,8 would of been out in public wearing trainers and i am sure he would of been measured wearing trainers. If you deduct the 1.5 trainers he was wearing it would bring his height to 6,6.5 which is what i have been saying. If you look at big john studd, he had a billed height of 6,10 in a ring. That was due to the fact that inside his boots he would of worn elevators to gain height over terry. But when you look at them there was no more than 2 inches max, in a ring that is. Andre the giant had a billed height of 7,4. But 7,0 was his height plus his frizz, meaning his frizzy hair. Everything makes sense. I agree with editor rob on his stats 100%. Terry never wore elevators in all the years i watched him. He didn,t need to, he was big enough anyway and greg you pointed out the 1.25 inch boots he wore in rocky 3. He would never of worn anything more than 1.5 inches unless he was walking on stilts.

Canson: if you read what hogan said at the top of this page where his height is listed he stated he was ft6,7 bare foot. He was asked in 2005 and he responded by saying he was ft6,7 and he said the exact same thing in 2011 as it is stated above. ft6,7 bare foot. Obviously you have read what terry said above yes. So with him saying that, who knows his height better than him. I will tell you nobody. Nobody on this planet knows my height better than me.

Your real height is barefoot...I am 100% sure that Hogan was indeed over 6'6" in thick nike's, there is no question about that at his peak. Also 6'7" in his 2 inch cowboyboots I wouldn't argue either but I fail to see why people inc footwear in relation to their height. Its like when women give a heel height its stupidity.

@Dan Reynolds: you have one person here that agrees with you. But it isn’t about that. I’ve been outnumbered on several pages but looking at solid proof and hearing Hogan himself say he’s 6’5 when he was in his prime along with the fact that other guys such as tiny lister said they were the same height. So you dont “know what you’re talking about” if that’s the case

@Dan Reynolds: age has nothing to do with being able to accurately determine height. I’m 37 myself and older than a lot of people here but I still don’t believe that I know more than them. Christian for example is about 10 years younger but I don’t go around saying because I’m older that I know more. Christian actually provides better estimates than me very often as he’s mentioned something and I look closely and realize that I’m wrong. He isn’t the only one either that does that and is younger than me so I don’t know everything. You really should not have even mentioned that because you just sound silly now. It has nothing to do with you having watched them for a long time if you just aren’t good at determining heights which going off of your estimates you clearly are not

But i wouldn,t doubt ronsters claims. He met terry in his prime and later on in life. Rob gave andre the giant a prime listing of ft7,0. When we look on andres sight ft7,0 is listed and i have to agree 100% with rob on that because i gave andre ft7,0 also. So rob being the editor would be 100% right. But there are those guys that will say andre was ft6,10 prime. That i have to disagree with. Rob gave kevin nash a height of ft6,9.5 prime. Again i have to agree with rob 100% on listing that also. My point simply being is this. Looking at terrys face off with kevin 1999 on RAW there was the same height difference with andre the giant and terry 1980 wrestlemania as there was with kevin and terry in 1999. Which actually proves terry did in fact lose height between 1980 and 2000. If kevin was ft6,9.5 1999 then terry wouldn,t of been any less than ft6,5_ft6,5.5 1999. So my claim of terry standing ft6,6.5 1980 would be a very good listing. Canson i know i don,t know my stats more the editor rob. I respect that. But this sight allows everyone to post their thoughts on celeb heights. So it,s giving their estimations and i am simply giving mine.

@Dan Reynolds: nope I have not met Hogan. But I know someone who has and he said the same thing that 62B said. He was around 6’5” in his prime or whenever he met him. I doubt he had lost 2” by the time he met him because it was early career. So maybe he was a stronger 6’5 or weak 6’6”. Hogan also admitted during an interview that he was only 6’5” once. As far as not being able to tell 6’5 and 6’7 apart, I doubt that the person I know would have that problem since he himself is about 6’2” himself and has played basketball so he knows what a 6’7 and 6’5 guy look like. Also 62B was a peak 6’3” guy who had a 6’4 grandfather who he said was an inch shorter than him. But for you to say what you did, I completely understand what you meant about not being able to tell differences. However, the same goes for you on that token. You may not be able to tell the difference apart nor did you look at his shoes perhaps. I’m not insulting you saying that either. I’m just using the same logic you did with me and you said below why would a 6’5 guy want to be 6’7? Hogan still claims 6’5 and he’s 6’3 today. Undertaker claimed he used to be 6’10”. The majority of wrestlers lie about their height or WWE lies on their behalf to portray the larger than life image. Remember that Triple H was listed 6’4”. He was maximum 6’2” at his peak maybe 6’15-6’2”. He’s 6’1 range according to Ali Baba another poster here. Wrestling is entertainment

Canson: just another thing. I wasn,t trying to inflate terrys real prime height on purpose. I said terry was ft6,7 prime me being honest not false. That was my real opinion. If i wanted to inflate terrys real prime height then i would of said he was ft6,10. Thats being false. Terry was a big fella in his prime that can,t be disputed. I know there have been a good few people bigger over the years in the WWF. But few in the 80,s. But honestly i have seen enough pics of terry in his prime to know exactly what i mean and don,t worry you haven,t hurt my feelings at all. I,m 42 not 2 and i have an answer for everything. I know there is alot of you guys that disagree with me and to be perfectly honest, i really enjoy reading everyones thoughts on terrys prime height. But not everyone thinks terry stood ft6,5 prime. I believe he was no less than ft6,6.5 now and he was most definately more than ft6,6 wearing thick soled nike trainers. Rob gave terry a listing of ft6,6 prime and thats perfectly fine. I personally say now terry stood ft6,6.5 prime. Thats my opinion and i don,t see anything wrong with that. But nobody would know terrys real prime height better than terry himself and that can,t be disputed.

Canson: i think it,s more to do with the fact that you and other doubters don,t want to agree with me more than anything else. You see my point. If i am older than you then i would of watched wrestling before you and i would of remembered terry in his prime. So i know exactly what i,m on about.

You guys can,t always be right about all heights, especially if your talking prime as in actial prime. The only people that know there real height is the people them selves and now your going to say all wrestlers lie aboit their heights. I don,t understand why anyone that was ft6,5 would want to be ft6,7. Their tall enough.

Greg; there would of been 2_3 inches between big van vador and sting in vadors favour n their face off in a ring around 1992. There would of been 2_2.5 inches between terry and big van vador in terrys favour in 1994. Now if vador was wearing elevators in his boots to gain a height on himself then thats probably why he looked so big. But canson i would really love to ask you. You and greg seem so sure on your height stats. Now i don,t know if you guys are stats fellas or just fans. But canson, you seem so sure terry wasn,t ft6,7 late 70,s early 80,s and mark calloway wasn,t ft6,9 in his prime. Did you ever met terry 70,s_80,s yourself. Because if you didn,t then you couldn,t very well say he wasn,t ft6,7 prime. Ok you can look at pics and footages, thats 1 thing. But meeting someone in their prime and pherhaps even witnessing them being measured in their prime is another ball game. Do you get my drift canson. Some people can look at a ft6,7 guy a say he,s ft6,5 range or ft6,5.5. But thats not the way to measure someone. Thats why i wouldn,t doubt what i am saying to you guys. If i thought what i was really saying was a colosal waste of time then i wouldn,t even bother posting my thoughts on this. 1 thing i wouldn,t do either is just call someone a liar without absolute proof.

@ Canson,
Barkley’s 6’5” listing I had scene year’s ago on-line from a re-post of 1984 pre draft article describing Chuck’s stature as a shorter, but thicker & explosive player for his position. Mentioning that he was measured at only 6’5” without shoes. But, yes...you are absolutely right. It’s very likely & probably the they rounded up a 6’4-7/8” measurement. I too have never seen the NBA ever list a 1/8 measuremt like the NFL does. They always round up to the next 1/4” listing. The article was actively comparing Larry Johnson, Charles Barkley & Ben Wallace. All being successful while being shorter than most men in the league at their positions. Wallace at the time was playing center for the Pistons.
The article listed all men’s height without shoes as...
Barkley: 6’5”
Larry Johnson: 6’5-1/2”
Ben Wallace: 6’7-1/2”
It was noting Charles as probably the best short forward ever. And briefly touched based on Larry Johnson having listings @ 6’7” & 6’8”...but, actually only being 6’5-1/2” without shoes & etc.

@RoelC: he’s doing the same thing to you that he did to me. Putting words in your mouth because you don’t agree with him. Meaning embellishing your statements you say back to him when you disagree with or correct him. I used to respect him but it’s hard to when he’s putting words in everyone’s mouth and is just a notoripis upgrader who admitted that he’s a fan of Hogan previously. It’s just funny that everyone jumps down Sotiris’s back here but maybe only one other person has said anything to Dan Reynolds about being an upgrader when it’s clear

Sotiris gravas: you said the great khali is now ft6,10. But just so you do realise he was in fact ft7,1 prime and i certainly wouldn,t doubt ronster on saying hogans height prime. You keep looking at hogan in his 40,s 1995_2000. Hogan was taller in late 70,s and to say ronsters claims are nonsence is a real front. It is possible to of lost height between his prime and say 2000. His height was noticeably taller in the 80,s. You tell me and ronster how it is then that wrestlers do lose height with time. If ronster met hogan in 80,s and noticed a difference in hogans height between then and 2000,s then why would he lie. I notice it myself.

@Johan185: I agree with you. Absolute highest peak is Rob’s listing but really I’d cap him out (at a normal low in the afternoon) 6’5.5 with a good possibility at 6’5-6’5.5 range as well. Today I still think he’s 6’3” if he stands straight. Perhaps even a hair over like 6’3-6’3.25 zone. I think his height loss is a bit exaggerated. He’s probably only lost about 2-2.5” and it looks more because of footwear that he used to wear

@Sotiris: most people don’t lose that much height to go from 6’6-6’7 to 6’4 in 10 years. While I do not agree with Ronster on the 6’6-6’7 (although I respect his opinion), I would say that 6’5-6’6 range is feasible for Hulk Hogan in his prime and in boots 6’7-6’8”. He is only about 6’3” today so Ronster is right in that he’s lost considerable height. A few others who’ve met him here have said he’s 6’3-6’3.5 today. Looking at him with others he doesn’t look as tall as me and I’m 6’4”. Key factor is that all pro wrestlers are inflated so if Hulk were that height he likely would’ve been listed taller. Undertaker was a 6’7” guy in his peak perhaps even a stronger one and he got 6’10” listings. Taker always had 1.5-2” on Hulk Hogan and that is well chronicled with the pictures we’ve seen. Rob isn’t far off on Hulk Hogan as he was likely 6’5 range (maybe 6’5.5 at a stretch) and probably 6’6 out of bed.

Do you even read other people's posts? JT talked about Paul Anderson and I mentioned to him that there was a strongman by the name of Bill Anderson. Yes he was listed at 6'4" and no he's not the same person who's photographed with Hulk Hogan. Again that's Bill Anderson the Wrestler and he was listed at 6'2". This has been pointed out to you numerous times now, but apparently it still hasn't sunken in.

Sting was ft6,2 early 90,s. Well take a look at sting against big van vader face off in a ring 1992 or there abouts. Big van vader a 2_2.5 inches taller than sting and big van vador with physcho sid taking a stroll on a beach. Not a 4 inch difference in height there. Big van vador wasn,t ft6,5, but i can tell you he was in fact ft6,4 and as for his pic with snoop dogg. He was bending down noticebly. People that faced terry in a ring wore elevators to look much taller. Terry didn,t need to wear elevators, he was big enough as he was.

@RP: The only measurements I see are 6’4 5/8 and 7/8 and 6’4 1/2 for Barkley and the 6’4 7/8 if anything is the one I can’t confirm. 1/2 is likely rounded down from 5/8” but he could perhaps measure it if he measured 5/8 since that’s just 1/8” difference and likely could be a normal low. I never saw a reference to that until now when rob posted. The 6’4 5/8 has been reported repeatedly as his Olympic measurement and with what other players say relative to his own height they often call him 6’4”. To be honest I could believe 6’4 7/8 as something he would measure but the NBA does not use 1/8” they only use 1/4”s and 1/2”s etc. Barkley actually claimed to be “about 6’4 3/4” which adds up to his 6’4 5/8 measurement he got later as the other could’ve been earlier in the day. I don’t rule out especially with what Majerle etc have said about him that he’s 6’4 1/2 at a low in his peak.

Roel c: paul anderson was ft5,9 not ft6,0 and that would of made terry ft6,0.5 in that pic. That can,t be right. That was bill andeeson the strongman and by my research was listed ft6,4/1.93.

Donald trump never had a billed height of ft6,3. Ft6,3 prime and ft6,2 today.

By the way gents, i managed to find out donald trumps prime height. Ok he,s now ft6,2, 71 years of age don,t forget. But donald trump age 40 in 1988 was in fact ft6,3. He was measured at 75 inches and that would be a bare foot height. If you look on your phones or laptops what 75 inches in feet equals it will give you ft6,3. Going back to hogan, donald trump and andre the giant, there is a great pic of all 3 in a side on pic which would of been about terrys height where you could see a huge difference in height between terry and donald trump. This pic was 1988 and you will look at terrys footware. But his footware would of been 1.5 inches, give or take. So you could take off 0.5 for him, which would really mean nothing when you look at this pic i am talking about because trump would of been wearing 1 inch shoes himself. It,s a different pic to the 1 solitas gravas posted. Not the same 1 solitas gravas posted, but a side on photo of them with the photo being about hogans height. There are a number of pics of them. But there is also 1 of trump and hogan facing the camera that year. But a huge difference in height. I will try and post.

Again, I never said Khali was 6'9". I said he's now 6'10".
Here's a younger Rock w/ Khali... Click Here
Rock and Shaq... Click Here
(Ali was never 6'3". He was max 6'2.5". Again, I never said he was 6'1.5". Pay attention. Charles Barkley was listed 6'6" as a shoe height; he was max 6'4.75" peak height. Pay attention.)
P.S. It's not "Solitas." It's Greg.
@RONSTER Hogan in his early 40s had around 2" on max 6'2" Sting, yet you want ppl to believe he was 6'6-7" in his early 30s. No one loses that much height so quickly. Also, his surgeries began in 1998 when Hogan was 45. Your claims are nonsense. The stuff of fanboy wish fulfillment. The fact that you met him is no validation.

@Dan Reynolds: you say you wouldn’t downgrade his height to sound good? Instead you upgrade it and you’re at it again. Ali was actually 6’2.5 listed on the passport not 6’3. He also admitted to being 6’2.5. If you say you don’t like being insulted then I will say I don’t like having words put in my mouth because I never said you were not intelligent here. It Sounds instead as if you are getting sour upset and embellishing stuff just because nobody here agrees with you (you did say that you know what you’re talking about so I guess your feelings are hurt since it’s clear you don’t)

@Dan Reynolds: nobody here is taking an inch off anyone’s true heights. But it does seem to me like you’re adding an inch. So we can go there if you would like. And Well I can’t say everyone doesn’t drop by an inch but the listed heights in sports are just that, listed. They are in shoes. Shoes aren’t part of your body neither are boots or other gear. And where did I say anything about you not being intelligent? I never once said that below so you are putting words in my mouth. But making comments like you do you surely will have a hard time convincing me that you are especially when you chastise a guy like Sotiris for his estimates and claim that you know what you’re talking about. You have now inflated five guys Barkley, The Rock, Taker, and Bill Anderson and Hogan just to make Hogan the height that you want him to be listed. You do realize that Rob lists him at 6’6 right? That means it’s highly unlikely he’s more than that.

@Dan Reynolds: no offense but you really have no room nor are you qualified to critique Sotiris about bringing down people’s heights when you are simply using billed heights and wanting people to be taller than listed here. If you want to call him a downgrader we can easily call you an inflator for your ridiculous estimates for Hogan and Rock

Solitas gravas: you can continue saying what ever you really think. You do brilliant at bringing down someones true height. But i know hogan was ft6,6.5 late 70,s early 80,s muhammad ali was in fact ft6,3 not ft6,1.5 as you mentioned.
If you ever watch muhammad ali,s fights the tale of the tape always gave him ft6,3 in a ring and on paper, So that surely can,t be wrong. The great khali was ft7,1 not ft6,9 also.
---------------
Daniel, Muhammad Ali was 6'2.5" like he put on his passport. The 6'3" was just rounding and he wasn't that tall next to 6'3.5" Eastwood.
Charles Barkley is around 6'5" max, he is easily 7 inches shorter than Shaq. There is also a measurement of 6'4 7/8ths to back that up from the olympics.
Hogan was max 3.5 inches taller than Inoki who looked max 6'2.5" but could even have been 6'2". Hogan was this peak listing max but more likely a strong 6'5".

@ Daniel Reynolds ... Barkey’s NBA listed height of 6’6” is with his sneakers on. Charles has documented official barefoot height measurements from his playing days of the following 6’4-3/4”, 6’4-7/8” & 6’5”... obviously they fluctuate slightly due to what time of the day they were taken. It is also rumored that his official barefoot height measurement on his 1992 Olympic team was 6’4-5/8”. However, that cannot be officially confirmed . The 6’4.75” , 6’4.875” & 6’’5.00” measurements are confirmed.

Canson: charles barkeley was listed ft6,6/198m not ft6,4.5. So this points out what i have been trying to say. All celebs like i have mentioned before have a stat height of course when you look it up. That height would be on their record of being measured prime. You can,t just look at a celeb and just say. Oh his ft6,1 range for example when in fact he could well be ft6,2_ft6,2.5. Thats my point.

Hey Canson, yes I have met Hogan when he was in his early 30’s and again at 61 years old. He was easily 6’8-9” in his boots back then making him between 6’6-7” barefoot which makes sense. He was still over 6’4” when I met him last and took that picture with him, he was leaning in and had his knees bent quite a bit making him seem shorter. I have a son who is barely under 6’2” and Hogan stood 2” taller with me than my son would no word of a lie. Then he could still hit almost 6’5” if he stood straight after his major back surgery. Hogan lost 3 inches of height due to having bone shaved and removed from his knees, hips and his back was bent like a J at the bottom as there was a picture of it pre-surgery to prove it. I respect people’s opinions on here, but trust me unless you actually meet him up close you will never understand just how massive and tall he still is, let alone how big and tall he was in the 80’s.

But why would i lie about what i think. I do respect your opinons on terrys height. But i have seen enough of terry in his prime early 80,s ect and the clip i spoke about with him and the outlaw in 1976. Now you do agree terry in 1976 would of been taller than in 2000. My mind has not been clouded either. I am big on WWF and terry was noticeably taller than a ft6,3 man in a ring in action from a distance also. Like i did say anyone that thinks terry late 70,s was just ft6,4 is utterly insane.

Solitas gravas: i am paying perfect attention and let me just disappoint you here. Muhammad ali,s height had always given him ft6,3 not ft6,1.5. If you think muhammad ali stood ft6,1.5 in the 70,s and 80,s then that really does make me feel happy. Because i always knew he stood ft6,3 and he wasn,t ft6,2 either. But since i first watched muhammad ali,s fights when i was a kid. The tale of the tape in a ring had always given him ft6,3. I am a massive boxing fan and muhammad ali may well of been ft6,2 in his 60,s. You can,t seriously tell me muhammad ali had a billed height of ft6,3 because that really would be taking the cake. Ali never had a billed height and against the wrestler inoki he was exactley ft6,3 and not ft6,2. You are the only guy i have read mention muhammad ali prime height ft6,1.5. So it does prove you get your heights wrong even with all the pics you post. You get people saying yeah hogan was ft6,4 prime. I haven,t even posted 1 pic. Pherhaps i really should.

@Dan Reynolds: that’s because WWE/F etc inflate everyone’s heights to portray them as larger than life. Triple H was listed 6’4” for Pete’s sake and he’s probably at his peak maybe 6’2 likely 6’1” range. And of course Andre was listed 7’4” when it’s very possible in his prime that he was 6’11”. That fits with guys like Taker and Hogan being listed 6’8” and 6’10 as there really was no more than 2” between them perhaps even 1.5” in their primes. But they were both 6’5-6’6 range and 6’7” range respectively. Today however I would say there is more of a height difference as Hogan appears to have lost more height than Taker. That difference today is probably 3” max 2+ inches minimum

Triple H was listed 6’4” for Pete’s sake and he’s probably at his peak maybe 6’2 likely 6’1” range. And of course Andre was listed 7’4” when it’s very possible in his prime that he was 6’11”. That fits with guys like Taker and Hogan being listed 6’8” and 6’10 as there really was no more than 2” between them perhaps even 1.5” in their primes. But they were both 6’5-6’6 range and 6’7” range respectively. Today however I would say there is more of a height difference as Hogan appears to have lost more height than Taker. That difference today is probably 3” max 2+ inches minimum

Vegas: i do wish i could agree with you. But anyone that thinks terry was just ft6,4 early 1980,s is completely mad. I know full well he was more than that. Just me looking at his pics with muhammad ali alone is enough to convince ne he was more.

Terry wouldn,t of stood ft6,8 in 1976 bare foot no. But ft6,6.5 is what he really was bare foot in 1976 no less guys. If terry did really stand ft6,8 in 1976 it really would of been wearing a decent pair of nike trainers out in public. That is what i am keeping for terry in 1976 ft6,6.5 bare foot. I know there is going to be a lot of you guys argueing my point. But ft6,6.5 1976 to me is what terry really was bare foot. That i am afraid cannot be changed. Sorry guys.

Can anyone please tell me this. Where did terrys height of his prime of given him ft6,8. I really don,t know the answer to that. Terry was always listed ft6,8. I can,t see that bare foot. But i could see ft6,6.5 prime. I mean i wish terry was ft7,0 in his prime because i was a great fan of him. But looking at him 1979 i would really like to think he was in fact ft6,8. But i will give terry ft6,6.5. He was listed at all kinds of heights. That is really weird. If terry was ft6,6.5 bare foot 1976 which i personally believe he really was strongly where does ft6,8 ever of come listed for him. I find it strange. I think yes indeed wearing thick soled nike trainers walking down the street terry would of walked ft6,8 in 1976. I won,t go under ft6,6.5 for terry in 1976 bare foot. I don,t care what anyone says about that.

All i am simple saying is hogan late 70,s early eighties not 1995_2000. People keep looking at hogan who was a worn and torn bear in the 90,s 2000,s. If you guys look at hogan the time i am talking 1979 then you will see for yourself. Johan 185 cm. You are comparing terry in 1999 against a young kevin nash. Terry 1979 would of been closer to kevins height than he was in 1999 for sure. Kevin would of been taller yes without doubt, but not by that much. Vegas, terry would of been taller in 1979 than 2000 for sure. There is no 2 ways about that i know. I have noticed that difference. So if i have then surely you can to.

@Dan Reynolds: absolutely. Ronster mentioned that he met him at his peak and recently and it was a big difference. I saw the pic he posted of Hulk in the more recent one but he didn’t look as tall as Ronster said in the pic and another poster Alan32080 said that he saw him recently and that he’s 6’3”ish (at a low) today. I just don’t believe that he was ever 6’7 in his bare feet. But saying he was 6’5-6’6 peak barefoot and being only 6’3” today is still a pretty significant difference especially when you account for his boots which he used to wear that made him seem much taller. I know being a hair over 6’4 and me having a friend who is 6’6 and one who is 6’7” a peak Hogan doesn’t look as tall as either imho but surely not as tall as the 6’7” one. I would really put a peak Hogan similar to my 6’5 range friend (6’5.25 at a low 6’6 out of bed)

Take a good look at rocky 3 again for anyone that doubts terrys true height. Forget the platform. Take an excelent look at terry standing in his corner. For anyone that thinks ft6,4 well they can scratch their heads all day long because ft6,4 is someone else. It is probably me standing ft6,4. I would truly say, get a grip any doubters.

The thing is this. Mr t was 2 inches taller than stallone who was in fact by my researches 1.77m ft5,10 prime, not ft5,8 as some might say or ft5,9 and even if he was ft5,9 then mr t would of been ft5,11. Mr t for the record 1982 was in fact ft5,11.5 not ft5,10. I know that. Mr t wasn,t ft510. He really was ft5,11.5. If you take a look at the rocky 3 film crew that doesn,t have terry in that pic for what ever reason, mr t comes in between the heights of stallone and carl weathers who was ft6,2. So if mr t comes in between the height of these guys half way then mr t surely had to be a good ft5,11 not ft5,10. I say ft5,11.5. You can argue that. But this is where people get the height with inches and celebs wrong. Mr t in 1982 was a good ft5,11_ ft5,11.5 guys not ft5,10. He was ft5,10. I can assure you.

A standed sitting room or bedroom door would be exactly ft6,6. Terry in his 20,s would of tipped that height bare foot no problem, indeed he would of done. I am ft5,10 and i have analised it myself. Terry wouldn,t of been any less than ft6,6 bare foot when i was born in march 1977. Looking at enough pics and videos. Terry with trainers would of ducked slightly under a sitting room door. No question at all. I,m sorry.

You can make comparisons with terry like everyone else. But you could be out by 1 inch. Terry wouldn,t of been any less than ft6,6.5 in my opinion.

Yes as i have said i was i big fan of terry and i think terry personally is the greatest WWF wrestler ever. He took alot of punishment since the late 1970,s. But look at him now. What is terry now ft6,3. When you compare everything that terry has been through he has done very well for himself. But terry can,t even stand straight up today and that,s 1 of my points. Can you see my point space, canson. Terry was involved in WWF wrestling longer than anyone else.

That wouldn't make any sense though. Rob has met Kevin Nash and had him at 6'9" but he has 4 inches on Joe Mangianello ( sp)Who got downgraded to 6'4.75". Kevin has said many times that when he got into wrestling he expected a guy near his size ( hulk was billed at 6'8") and instead he was looking at the top of his head.
He always looked a steady 4inches on Hogan as he does nowadays with Joe but I do think he was 6'9.5" peak. He was a good 2 inches taller than Sid with bigger footwear and Sid was a weak 6'7". Sid also had 1.5 in on Hogan alot, the difference was noticeable and he was also billed 2" higher.
Undertaker was also around 2" taller than Hogan and he was nomore than 6'7.5" at most peak.

@Heisenberg89: I think 194 in the morning is too low for Barkley. In his peak I could see him waking up 196 range and being 194-195 at a low. 194 would mean that he’s 192 range which looks way too low for him. Even today he doesn’t appear to have lost a lot of height. Maybe he’s 193-194 minimum but his peak the 6’4 5/8 he measured in 1992 is very much believable over 6’4 flat,

@Vegas: I’m not seeing what you are I guess. And you hold on to Dwayne Wade measuring 6’3.75 so youre not challenging his measurement so why do you challenge Barkley measuring 6’4 5/8? That seems to me like you’re the one picking and choosing which measurements you want to believe just as you accused me of on the Rock’s page. Barkley measured that at the Olympics in 1992 so he is not taller than that. The only debate is whether or not that is actually a low for him. As for Danimal while I respect his opinion and yours, He also believes that Hogan was a full 6’6” at his peak. That would mean Barkley was over 6’6” when he clearly wasn’t. In addition, he believes Conan’s claims of being 6’4 1/2 in his prime “because he says he was”. It’s clearly obvious that 6’4” range guys edge Conan out.

in that picture of Barkley and The rock the height difference is very significant. So there was even more of a height difference between 1980’s Hogan and The Rock compared to Barkley and The Rock?That’s incredible considering Hogan is now The Rock height today,

Yeah Barkley is more like 194 in the morning at his best.
Still close to Hogan that btw was never taller then 196 in my opinion.
But I think now he could be 192cm, I doubt he lost so much.

@Space: Barkley was not as tall as 6’5 at his peak. If Hulk were really shorter than Barkley 6’4 5/8 it would mean Hulk was significantly shorter than he actually was. You see that Rob has both guys listed 6’6 and 6’4 7/8 respectively

Space, I have Barkley slightly over 6'5 and JT has him taller. Both of us have Hogan at 6'5 peak give or take
Canson, Hogan is 29 in the video I posted, highly unlikely he was taller in the 70s. I have not seen any evidence Hogan was taller than Barkley unless you care to share it? You steadfastly sticking with 6'4 range Barkley means you can't have peak Hogan taller than max 6'4..just the way it is I'm afraid. Danimal is biggest Hogan fan on this site and he will admit Barkley was not shorter than peak Hogan.
As for Barkley it's pretty obvious from that clip he is taller than 6'4 range given how much height he has on Gene/Flair, just length of his legs alone. Guys just short of 6'5 like Big Ben or Joe Manganiello haven't looked that tall inside a wrestling ring. Compare Manganiello on Raw with Miz and Barkley with Flair who in 1990s was around modern day Miz height

Guys, Everyone who is comparing the pictures of Hogan & Mean Gene from the early 80’s vs the pic with Gene & Barkley from the mid 90’s or (neglecting to factor in one thing ... that Gene likely lost a little bit a height in that 12 to 13 years span. I would guess at least A 1/2”... possibly even a full 1” depending on his lifestyle , body type and genetics.

Hogan’s peak was in the 70s where he was 6’5 range (at a low). Barkley has always been 6’4 range (weak 6’5) at a low

Another famous athlete I met was the late Reggie White. I met him in 1997, so it was 17 years between seeing Hogan. I think Reggie and Hulk would have been pretty close to the same height. Reggie was always listed at 6'5" and 290-300lbs. I do believe Reggie Had about 2" on me, so 6'5" sounds right. I remember Hulk as being overall bigger muscle wise, so its possible that he was over 300lbs in the late 70's early 80's.

@Johan I hate to break it to you, but Antonio Inoki was max 6'1.5". You say Hogan had 3.5" on him, putting the Hulkster at 6'5" peak height. (Hope Daniel reynolds is paying attention, lol.)
Here's Inoki and max 6'2.5" Ali, footwear visible... Click Here , Click Here
--------
So ALi was 6'1.5" also? You do realise that in that second pic they are exactly the same height?
Thats the problem with downgrading , there is no logic or common pattern to be found.
I only see the possibility of a 6'2" inoki minimum which still puts him at peak 6'5.5" a figure I have argued for 9 years.

@Space: I think if he’s less than 6’3” it’s a negligible difference. He is similar to Undertaker in that he has poor posture just like Alan32080 said when he met him. In my opinion, he’s exactly how Rob lists him above today and 6’5 and change peak

Idk if hogan is 6’3” today. He looked eye to eye with The rock,, Goldberg, and Lesnar in the late 90s and early 2000s. Those 3 guys were all 6’2.5” at the very most. Also, Hogan just didn’t look quite 6’6” at his peak. Id bet his 6’6”-6’6.5” measurement was in sneakers. Otherwise you’re saying Hogan used to be as tall as Braun Strowman which just seems off.

Ft6,6.5 is my final estimation for hogan late 1970,s. He has had all sorts of heights over the years. Lets just say he was ft6,6.5 in his 20,s, his billed height of ft6,8 would of come from him wearing thick soled nike trainers of 1.5 inches. So out in public he would of been ft6,8 how ever people chose to see it. i say 1976 just as a perfect example of his true prime height. In 1979 he would of been the same height as he was in 1976 for sure i believe. But 1995_2000 he wouldn,t of been. I know that for a full fact. So people that doubt my quotes will always say hogan ft6,4.5_ft6,5 2000. Fair enough. But i am always looking at his younger years not his worn, wear and tare years. I am not overating terry 20,s height because i was a big fan, but because i see it myself. But i wouldn,t down grade his 20,s height either and for anyone that thinks i am just being 100% fantasist or fake for the sake of it, well no i am being 100% accurate and true. Ft6,6.5 1970,s hogan bare foot morning i think is a accurate as i am going to say. Ft6,8 wearing thick soled trainers out in public sounds 100% genuine to me indeed.

Roelc: there is footage of hogan or terry boldour in 1976 against a fella called the outlaw in 1976. You as i have done can see for yourself as i saw the footage. It was just a match. Not with the WWF. I have seen the footage on youtube and ft6,6.5 back then for terry to me does sound very much on the money against a fella that was listed ft6,2. A towering difference.!!

Canson: terry in 1976 as i said before may well of been ft6,6.5 out of bed in the morning at his very peak height. You can,t rule that out altogether. I am going to stick with that. I do respect your points very much. I feel like terry surely tipped ft6,6.5 1976 in the morning out of bed. I use 1976 as my perfect example canson due to the fact he was only 23 then and just joined the wrestling world.?

@Sotiris: that proves Conan was never 6’4”. Lewis was measured at that but no guarantee it was a low for him being we don’t know what time of the day. But I don’t go less than 6’4.5 for him either. Maybe 6’4 5/8.

Shaq looked over 7 foot with Magic, LeBron, Stoudemire, Roethlisberger, Jon Jones and recently enough with Wilder. Basketballers usually keep their height well so it's unlikely Shaq has lost any height yet from peak and was measured over 7 foot barefoot initially
Daniel reynolds, 6'5 (give or take half an inch) is fair for Hogan's peak. Tajpjer was about 6'7 peak.

I just find it crazy to think Hogan used to be 6’6” in his prime. He’s like The Rocks height today (weak 6’2”). If you look at the picture of 6’5.75”-6’6” Charles Barkley with the Rock, you can see a huge height difference. Do you really think Hogan went from Barkley’s height in his prime to the Rocks height today?

At his absolute peak, 3,5 inches taller than Antonio Inoki. This is actually a good instance of him looking Rob's 6'6" listing. Antonio was billed 6'3" or 191cm in New japan but when he fought Muhammad Ali I didn't see any difference. So lets say he was 6'2.5 that would be Robs listing. I can't see him under 6'5.5" peak now.

@Sotiris: to be honest, I’m even not sure if Shaq ever was over 7’0” or even. I say what I am because with Celebheights we define their height as an afternoon height so by that logic 6’11.75 isn’t impossible for him. He was clearly 2” shorter than Kareem even when Kareem was in his 40s and beyond. Kareem was retired 3 years before Shaq was drafted. Sure he was very close to the mark but there’s a real chance he dipped to a weak 7’0”. Kareem is a good measuring stick in his prime because he was measured and claimed his proper measurement whereas others were overlisted. Examples Hakeem Shaq Ewing Mourning. Hakeem was 6’9” range Ewing at most 6’10” Mourning 6’8” range as he admitted. Shaq also admitted 6’11” although he isn’t a flat 6’11”. He’s closer to 7’0”

Lol I’m 6’4 and none of those guys in that pic look that tall. Again just because a guy claims 6’4” doesn’t mean he is. I have a former college basketball teammate who was listed 6’7 when he played with me and still claims 6’7”. He’s not even a full 6’6” if measuring in the afternoon more like 6’5.5-6’6 range (shorter than my legit 6’6” friend is). But he claims 6’7” so does that mean he is? He even knows he isn’t but he claims his shoes. It seems like some people are making up excuses and finding them just to make Hogan 6’7” like he claimed. If we are going to argue, argue facts, not lies or made up propaganda. This isn’t a place for being fanboyish or biased.

And in the pic with Vince McMahon that I've posted it clearly show's Anderson is nowhere near 6'4".

@RP: you have some people like that who only upgrade people or only downgrade them. It’s obvious especially when you keep hearing “well Terry said his mother measured him 6’7” among other things and hear that others are taller than they’re listed as well

It says here (assuming that this is the same guy that we are discussing) that he is 6’2”. So once again, it is buying someone else’s claims when they may or may not be accurate. That’s no different than the 6’2” rock claiming 6’5 and Hulk claiming 6’7”

Once again, Anderson never has claimed 6’4”. I don’t get why people are trying to make a guy who only was listed 6’2” in his career 6’4”. If he were listed 6’2 it’s likely he was really less not more. That is why people assume Hogan was 6’7”. Some food for thought, Rob has done his research here so if he doesn’t believe he was ever over 6’6” like he lists him then he wasn’t. If anything Rob is going to overlist someone before he underlists then so it’s far more likely that Hulk was only 6’5.5 or even a strong 6’5 at a low than being 6’7” or 6’6.5. Some of The same people that are saying Hogan is 6’7 are also saying Andre was 7’4”. Andre was likely at absolute best 7’0” prime perhaps even 6’11” range

@Dan Reynolds: to answer the question I do believe he was taller in 1976 than 1995. And 6’6.5 out of bed is not a terrible estimate at all. But unfortunately the Celebheights site is based on afternoon heights. Now I don’t rule out 6’6.5 out of bed and 6’5.5 at a low in his absolute prime. In fact my estimate isn’t far off that. I think 6’6 maybe 6’6.25 out of bed and 6’5.25 at a low which would be the height that we would use for his listing. The lowest I would go is 6’5.75 out of bed and 6’5 at a low. I don’t go for the 6’4.5 as a height he measured in 1976. He was at least 6’5” back then but by 1995 he looked 6’4 range. And by the way, Rob bases heights on afternoon measurements unless there is an athlete that received a certain measurement he will list them as such. Hogan does not have an official measurement. Only the nostalgic 6’7” claim that he made of his mother measuring him which may have been in shoes or may not have occurred at all. At least if he really were near 6’7” out of bed and near 6’6 at a low then I could almost see it being fit since Rob lists him at 6’6” on this site. But I would never go above 6’6” at a low for him as the evidence actually points to him being less than that at times. Today, however, I doubt he is much less or more than 6’3”

Have a very good look at terry in 1976 v the outlaw youtube folks. Have a good look.
------------------
Hulk Hogan didn't even started wrestling yet in 1976! His first match was in 1977 and he didn't started using the Terry Boulder name until late 1978. That match is from May 26, 1979 to be precise. It was the day after his NWA Heavyweight Championship title match against Harley Race.

I will ask anyone to post the pics i am talking about with hogan big bill anderson and the pic with terry and chris loyd ft6,1 i will do so myself but ronster if you are reading this. You would see for sure how terry towered chris loyd ft6,1 by 7_8 inches. I will ask you please what do you see wrong with the pic i am pointing out to these guys. Walking along side by side. Now ronster terry looked ft6,9 in that pic so can you dispute ft6,6.5 terry 1976, because i seriously can,t i hope you can agree with that. I mean seeing is believing. People can post what ever pics that suits them. But i can tell you guys if you did look at terry hulk hogan 1976 and i use 1976 as my best example possible for terry at his very very best. Then show me a bad pic with terry at his ultimate best and i am pointing out 1976 fellas.??? 1976.

Roelc. I have watched enough WWF wrestling since 1984 and sadly to say you are not going to change my mind now. No. I have looked at enough pics and videos over the years to know that terry was a good ft6,6.5 1976. Other wrestlers way well of worn elevators in their boots to look bigger and i am sure they have. The pic i am pointing out is seeing believing. If hogan was wearing trainers then loyd may well of been wearing good healed shoes also. But you are looking at a good 7_8 inches in height. A ft6,4 man would not look that tall against a ft6,1 man. No way. They are side by side and this is what im talking about prime terry, prime pic. That pic is in your face. I doesn,t matter what you say i have watched terry long enough since 1984 and i do agree ft6,9 no way at all. Ft6,6.5 1976 terry yes indeed. I am not loopy lol. I know my WWF wrestling dince 1984. Im 42 now not 22.

Roelc. I thankyou for you oppisite response. But for 1 you never met terry in the 1970,s and neither did you measure him either. So my point is plaining saying if you don,t know for sure because you are just a fan like me and i don,t know how old you are but im 42 and have been watching WWF wrestling since 7 1984. I know full well what i am talking about lol. The pic i am talking about with terry and chistopher loyd is as accurate as you can get. Loyd was in fact ft6,1 from my researches and terry looked ft6,9 in the pic. Now if he looked ft6,9 then can you really argue with ft6,6.5.??? No. I have looked at your pic and the pic i am talking about is simple seeing believing. You might think oh. Footwear. Terry was looking down on that pic which means he would of lost 2 inches by doing that alone. Loyd comes up to his chin. Now i ask this. Does that look like a man ftft6,4 late 70,s before all the knocks and surgeries. I have done my research many years ago. Im not 12. Take a look at terry shaking hands with big bill anderson who was ft6,4 actual both wearing same footwear terry is a goog 3_4 taller. Both standing on level ground and then tell me i am rambling on about rubbish.!!!! Terry was a good ft6,6.5 simple. 1976 i am looking not 1995_2000.

Terry 1976 was ft6,6.5. Im not talking 1995_2000. If you look at terry 1976 when he was very new to wrestling. Compare terrys height over his men in 1976. On youtube you will see terry against a fella called the outlaw. Maybe just an eliminator in 1976. Watch that footage on youtube. Post it if you really want for everyone to see. Terry was 23 and new to wrestling then and look at the way he towered his man in 1976. Take a look at that footage guys i urge you.👍👍👍

Coming off of hulk hogan for a moment. Steve cram, sebastian coe, said ouita, ronnie o sullivan,jimmy white, steve interesting davis and alex hurrican higgins are more of my favourites along with mo farah are also michael phelps. I have loads of heroes. Usain bolt, the only race he ever lost was against justin gatlin 2017 world championships. Usain was disqualified in the 2011 world champs 100m for 1 fault start. Now back in the 1980,s 1990,s it was 3 fault starts per 1 person and then disqualified. Absolute non sense how usain wasn,t allowed another try. He would of won that 100m, i know that and the whole world knows that. Daley thompson was undefeated between 1978_1987 in decathlon. What a warrior. From 1987 though daley started to go down with unjures, groin, etc and came 5th in 1988 olympics because of it and i will never forget when he did a pole vault jump and the bar snapping in half as daley was in the air. I don,t know if you guys would remember that moment at all. I was so sad. He did terrible in 1987 worlds also because if sustained injuries.

To me he was the greatest WWF wrestler of all time. Terry is the greatest, he follows like the greatest muhammad ali in boxing and i was a massive fan of muhammad ali oh yes. Muhammad was world heavyweight champion when i was born in 1977. God bless that heroe.

In honor of the Easter Bunny and the world of make-believe where Hogan was billed as high as 6'8", I thought I should mention the movie "Harvey." Jimmy Stewart (6'3") decided to make Harvey the invisible rabbit 6'8", looking up at the rabbit throughout the film, even though the script lines weren't changed from the play that preceded it... keeping Harvey's height at 6'3.5".

RP, where do you get off saying anyone should be Banned? Big Bill Anderson the strongman not the singer was every bit 6’4” and that was a barefoot height. Hogan did have him by 3 inches minimum barefoot, not because of cowboy boots either. The pictures are there of Hogan with him and many others over six feet tall like Lloyd which prove Hogan was well over 6’6” and at least 6’7” pre- height loss. This is not fan boy fantasy, and saying that does not discredit anyone either. Hogan was never 6’8” or 6’9” like they billed him, but he also was never 6’5” as some of you think, he just had way too much height on guys in that range. Oh, and saying Lister said Hogan was the same height as him means nothing, by the time Hogan did that movie he had been wrestling over 10 years and had lost close to if not an inch by then making him 6’6”, Lister had bouts that gave him a 2-3” advantage over Hogan in those scenes and still was only an inch taller.

If you guys are just fans then whos to say you are exactly right. When we look at pics is 1 thing. But i will try and post hogans pics with ft6,4 bill anderson with hogan looking every bit 3_4 inches taller and hogan towering a ft6,0.5 christopher loyd by a good 7_8 inches. Thats what i mean by prime folks.
-----------------
First off Bill Anderson claims 6ft2 for himself and even that seems an exaggeration. He's pictured with tons of other wrestlers and looks 6ft-6ft1 at best. Vince McMahon had at least an inch on Bill Anderson, so I guess McMahon is really 6ft5. Click Here
Second, you keep rambling about Hogan's prime being in the late 70's, but here you are claiming Hogan looked prime height next to Christopher Lloyd in a movie that was filmed in 1990. So what is it? Did he lose height by then or didn't he. Make up your mind!
That pic with Christopher Lloyd is a horrible pic to judge height for a number of reasons. If you can't even see that, than it's useless to debate Hogan's height with you. Neither man is even remotely standing straight, and the ground doesn't seem to be level either.
Here's a better pic of Hogan & Lloyd. Click Here
Both guys now have decent posture and the ground is level as they're standing on a rooftop. There's at best 4-5 inches difference, and Hogan might even have a footwear advantage there.
When Hogan wrestled Andre in Canada back in 1980, they billed him at 6'6", 330lbs.

Click Here
So you can forget about Hogan being any taller than that. And that's definately his prime height.
This is what a legitimate 6ft7 guy looks like next to Hogan.
Click Here
That's Ben Davidson on the left. Former Defensive End for the Oakland Raiders. He was listed both 6ft7 and 6ft8 by the Oakland Raiders. He easily looks an inch taller than Hogan there and he's not even standing straight, whereas Hogan is standing as straight as an arrow there.
Hogan wasn't 6ft7, not even in his prime. He looked at best 6ft5 to me. Anywhere from 6ft4.5 to 6ft5.5 seems a reasonable guess to me. 6ft7 is way too high, and people like Henry who claim Hogan was at least 6ft9 are obviously not taken the least bit seriously over here.
Years before Kevin Nash became a wrestler he went to a wrestling show to see Hogan wrestle. This was somewhere in the mid-80's and Nash expected Hogan to be 6'9" and was surprised he was nowhere near that height. He claimed that inspired him to pursue a career in pro-wrestling. He estimated Hogan at about 6ft4 back then.

So you can forget about Hogan being any taller than that. And that's definately his prime height.
This is what a legitimate 6ft7 guy looks like next to Hogan.

That's Ben Davidson on the left. Former Defensive End for the Oakland Raiders. He was listed both 6ft7 and 6ft8 by the Oakland Raiders. He easily looks an inch taller than Hogan there and he's not even standing straight, whereas Hogan is standing as straight as an arrow there.
Hogan wasn't 6ft7, not even in his prime. He looked at best 6ft5 to me. Anywhere from 6ft4.5 to 6ft5.5 seems a reasonable guess to me. 6ft7 is way too high, and people like Henry who claim Hogan was at least 6ft9 are obviously not taken the least bit seriously over here.
Years before Kevin Nash became a wrestler he went to a wrestling show to see Hogan wrestle. This was somewhere in the mid-80's and Nash expected Hogan to be 6'9" and was surprised he was nowhere near that height. He claimed that inspired him to pursue a career in pro-wrestling. He estimated Hogan at about 6ft4 back then.

@Daniel reynolds. Where did I say I thought Hogan was 6'4.5" peak? I can tell you that he was not much taller than my 6'4" Grandfather in 1980. Hogan had stopped right in front of us on his way to the ring. I can tell you that my Army room mate, who had seen Hogan up close several times, thought Hogan was in-between my at the time 6'3 1/4" and our other room mate who was 6'6". I can tell you that my step father, who sat next to Hogan on a flight from Japan back to America thought Hogan was quite a bit bigger than my Grandfather, but didn't say how much taller. My guess is Hogan was a solid 6'5" throughout most of the day. Could he have been 6'6"? Maybe. He sure looked close to that in his late 70's match against a 6'3" Ted Dibiase. Personally I think its just a little taller than he actually was.
