Legit heights of the WWE superstars

[Guest SlowChemical6]

I have included my assessments on whether or not these heights are truly legit:

 

Albert 6'6" (Now I've met Albert, and he looked to be a legit 6'8" to me, but that could be with an extra 2" from boots or lifts)

Al Snow 5'11" (Met him, sounds right)

Billy Gunn 6'3" (I've met him as well, he's not 6'5")

Big Boss Man 6'5" (Met him, this sounds about right...maybe 6'4")

Big Show 7'1" (I've heard that this is legit, but the wider he gets, the shorter he looks)

Booker T 6'2" (He's billed as 6'4")

Bradshaw 6'5" (He's billed as 6'6")

Brock Lesnar 6'4" (Don't doubt it one bit)

Bubba Ray Dudley 6'2" (Billed as 6'4")

Bull Buchanan 6'5" (Billed as 6'6" to 6'8" by J.R.)

Crash 5'8" (Billed as 5'6", for some odd reason...I've met him, he's 5'8")

Chris Benoit 5'9" (Met him as well, sounds right...usually billed as 5'10")

Chris Jericho 5'10" (The King of Lifts)

Christian 6'0" (They bill him as 5'10" for some reason. I've met him and he's 6'0", if not 6'1". I guess the 5'10" was to enhance his "little brother" image.)

Chuck Palumbo 6'4" (Never met him)

DDP 6'4" (I think he's usually billed at 6'5")

Dean Malenko 5'7" (Met him, it's true...maybe the 5'8" he's billed at)

D'Lo Brown 6'2" (I think he's usually billed at 6'3". I met him, I'm 6'1", and I was just as tall as he was...maybe a little taller. Even the 6'2" is an exaggeration)

D-Von Dudley 6'0" (I met him, but he was sitting down. Sounds right)

Edge 6'3" (Met him, he looked 6'4" legit to me)

Faarooq 6'1" (Never met him, but he played football so I'm sure that this can be backed up)

Funaki 5'7" (Met him, he's somewhere in that 5'7"-5'9" range)

Godfather 6'5" (Never met him, he's billed as 6'6")

Goldust 6'5" (Once again, billed as 6'6"...do they add 1-2" for shoes or something?)

Hardcore Holly 6'0" (Billed as 6'1"...hmm)

Haku 6'0" (Dunno, don't care)

Hulk Hogan 6'5" (I heard he was 6'6"-6'7" legit. Scott Keith says he is only 6'4" legit. The WWF once claimed he was 6'8" legit, which is absurd since he was only a shade taller than The Rock during their staredown. I am betting that he is 6'5"-6'6" legit)

The Hurricane 5'9" (He's billed at 6'0", and he DID tower over Jamie Noble...maybe he wears lifts?)

Jeff Hardy 6'1" (Met him, he's 6'1" legit)

Jerry Lynn 5'8" (Don't know)

Justin Credible 5'10" (Don't know, but I believe he's billed at 6'0" or taller)

Kane 6'7" (I heard 6'9" legit...maybe that's with lifts on?)

Kevin Nash 6'11" (I heard 6'10"-6'11" legit, I'm sure 13 knee surgeries affects your height somewhat)

Kurt Angle 5'11" (I've never met him, but I heard that he is really short. Some people say 5'8" legit, but his Olympic vital stats say 5'10")

Lance Storm 5'10" (Never met him, but sounds about right)

Lita 5'7" (I've met her, she is pretty tall)

Mark Henry 6'1" (Never met him)

Matt Hardy 6'1" (Met him, he's 6'1" legit)

Maven 6'2" (He said that he was eye-to-eye with HHH on Tough Enough, so wouldn't he have to be 6'3"-6'4"?)

Mick Foley 6'2" (He's always looked a bit taller than 6'2")

Mr Perfect 6'2" (Sounds about 2"-3" too generous, but I've never met him)

Perry Saturn 5'10" (Met him, he looked to be 5'8"-5'9" legit. He was really small.)

Raven 5'10" - (I've met him, he was the 6'0" he's billed at...although I didn't take note of his footwear, so maybe he was wearing boots)

Rhyno 5'10" (No way is he the 6'2" the WWF first billed him at)

Ric Flair 6'0" (A little bit taller than 6'0" if you ask me, but I've never met him)

Rikishi 6'1" (Met him, but he was sitting down)

Rob Van Dam 5'11" (When he walked past me in the crowd at InVasion, he looked to be 6'0" or 6'1" with boots on)

The Rock 6'4" (Billed at 6'5", but he played football as well so his true height shouldn't be too hard to dig up)

Scott Hall 6'5" (Never met him, but police reports don't lie)

Scotty 2 Hotty 5'9" (Never met him)

Shawn Michaels 5'10" (Never met him, billed as 6'0"-6'1")

Spike Dudley 5'8" (Never met him)

Stacy Kiebler 5'11" (Met her, she was sitting down, looks tall on TV)

Steve Austin 6'2" (Never met him)

Steve Blackman 6'0" (Met him, sounds right)

Steven Richards 5'11" (Billed as 6'2" and looks it on TV)

Tajiri 5'7" (Never met him)

Taka Michinoku 5'8" (Met him, sounds right)

Tazz 5'7" (Never met him)

Terri 5'2" (?)

Test 6'6" (Billed as 6'6" to 6'7", and 7'0" when he first debuted)

Torrie Wilson 5'8" (?)

Triple H 6'3" (Billed as 6'4")

Trish Stratus 5'4" (?)

Undertaker 6'8" (Sounds right)

Val Venis 6'1" (Billed as 6'2")

William Regal 6'2" (Billed as 6'4")

X-Pac 5'11" (Billed as 6'0")

[Guest Dmann2000]

I casn confirm that Tazz is short, cause when we got our photo's taken at Heatwave 98 me and my friends were all taller than him. And I'm only 6'0

[Guest jimmy no nose]

I met Tazz in 1997 when I was 16 and I was taller than him. I'm 6'1" now, so I was probably 5'10" or so.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

well now we know why saturn doesn't get pushed.

 

"yeah, saturnmark, cos he sucks! hahahahahahafuckingha."

 

thought i'd save whoever was first the trouble.

[Guest Storm Tracker]

I remember when Hogan first came to WWF and they announced him as 6'7" and 305 lbs. Years later I saw Hogan and Jimmy Hart on a talk show and he said that he was 6'5" and 245 lbs.

[Guest buffybeast]

"Albert 6'6" (Now I've met Albert, and he looked to be a legit 6'8" to me, but that could be with an extra 2" from boots or lifts)"

 

 

 

"Crash 5'8" (Billed as 5'6", for some odd reason...I've met him, he's 5'8")"

Is Albert as sexy in person as he is on television?

 

 

And I must disagree with you here. I met Crash two months ago here in NC and he seemed a legit 5'6 to me. I am 5'11, six feet with shoes and Crash was no where near 5'8 to me.

[Guest Rob Van Dam]

if albert is hot then tazz is tall

[Guest Mad the Swine]

Semantics, but the WWE lists Flair as 5'11". Based on people that have met him, that's probably pretty accurate.

[Guest undisputedjericho]

HBK 5'10"? I remember him being slightly taller than the 6'2" Austin during their feud.

[Guest Respect The 'Taker]

well now we know why saturn doesn't get pushed.

 

"yeah, saturnmark, cos he sucks! hahahahahahafuckingha."

He doesn't suck...he just needs more than one fan.

 

This has been the Taker Mark

[Guest TestKick]

Kurt Angle is legit 5'11. I've met him twice, and he was just shorter than my friend, who is 6 foot. Chris Jericho is about the same.

 

Test could be 6'7 or 6'8... he seemed a little taller than me, and I'm 6'5.

 

Stacy Keibler is 5'11.

 

Nash was 6'10 in college.

[Guest Shaved Bear]

wow i thought trish was shortest for sure

[Guest buffybeast]

if albert is hot then tazz is tall

To the Pygmy tribe, Tazz is tall. So that means Albert is indeed sexy.

[Guest deadbeater]

Molly's listed as the same height as Trish 5' 4".

[Guest redbaron51]

i remember that the WWE said the Rey Jr. is 6'1".

 

he was 5'7", unless he grew 7 inches in a year

[Guest TheRockIsTheEuropeanChampion]

i remember that the WWE said the Rey Jr. is 6'1".

 

he was 5'7", unless he grew 7 inches in a year

Judging by the time that I met Rey Mysterio Jnr., he was closer to Trish's height... but I could be wrong.

[Guest SlowChemical6]

I heard that Rey is 5'3" legit.

 

HBK 5'10"? I remember him being slightly taller than the 6'2" Austin during their feud.

 

That's because he was wearing cowboy boots.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

Rey is NOT nor will be 6'1" at any time ever. He's a questionable 5'7". Look at him compared to everyone else in segments. He made Edge look about 7' tall.

[Guest Incandenza]

Eh...SlowChemical's has about as much credibility as what the WWE claims these people to be.

 

Incidentally, WWE's fibbing on height doesn't bother me as much as they do on weight; Jeff Hardy, who's only an inch taller than me, supposedly outweighs me by thirty pounds, even though we have the same build. Bullshit.

[Guest starvenger]

The Hurricane 5'9" (He's billed at 6'0", and he DID tower over Jamie Noble...maybe he wears lifts?)

I met Shane Helms, and he seemed to be a couple of inches taller than me (I'm about 5'8" and a half) so I'd say he's probably about 5'10"-5'11"

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

Raven 5'10" - (I've met him, he was the 6'0" he's billed at...although I didn't take note of his footwear, so maybe he was wearing boots)

While we're on this topic, I believe one of Raven's legs is slightly shorter than the other, so he has to wear 1 boot that has a little higher sole than the other.

[Guest FeArHaVoC]

I think someone heard them say Rey's finisher "6-1-9" and confused it with his height.

[Guest Jobber of the Week]

Some of you guys need to remember what a real "really short" person looks like.

 

WWE is Home of the Big Men. A guy who's 5'8 or 5'9 does seem really small in that environment.

 

Maybe try using the Kevin Kellys and Johnathan Coachmans and so on as a bit of an idea as to what a "regular" person looks like in comparison to others

[Guest Just call me Dan]

Angle was much taller than Rey in their last smackdown encounter. I'd go on to say Rey is around 5'3" and not 5'7".

[Guest SlowChemical6]

If Rey Mysterio is 6'1", then Stone Cold Steve Austin is 7".

 

Seriously, the guy is 5'3" legit. When he first started out in Mexico, the promoter wanted him to wrestle as a midget.

 

Eh...SlowChemical's has about as much credibility as what the WWE claims these people to be.

 

I'd say that my credibility is pretty high since I've met the majority of these guys, my info comes from official sources (i.e. athletic records), and I have no reason to lie about their heights...

Coachman is 6'3.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Guys, don't fret about Buffy. We posted together at Squared Circle, and her gimmick was "The Only Albert Mark'' We used to tease her quite often about it.

 

Nice to see you again BTW.
