Legit Height of Certain wrestlers......

[Guest The Mighty Damaramu]

Ok we know that the WWE inflates everything. And wrestlers heights are one of these.

But I was wondering if anyone knew the legit heights of some of WWE's "big men". Like UT,Kane,Albert, Big Show, and Batista among others. I mean are any of them really as tall as WWE claims?

 

Oh yeah I'm legit 6'4" 250lbs.. I wonder if I was in WWE if I would be pushed as "a 6'9", 300 pound monster!!!"

[Guest caboose]

You would probably be pushed at Rocky's stats cos, I believe Rocky is actually your stats.

[Guest AfricanAmerican]

I think the heights they give are pretty accurate. From what I can remember Big show is supposed to be 7'4", Kane 7', UT 6'10", Albert 6'6"

[Guest MillenniumMan831]

I think they LOVE to exaggerate the weight of wrestlers, but as for the height, a general 1-2 inch boost may be the best you'd get.

[Guest AndrewTS]

No. Show is billed as 7', Kane as 6'9", Taker as about that height, and Albert as 6'8".

This biggest exageration would have to be Andre the Giant, just for the record.

This biggest exageration would have to be Andre the Giant, just for the record.

His joints compressed so he "shrank" as he got older, and at WMIII he may have stood about 7', since he wasn't much taller than Hogan. However, I'm sure that his max height was certainly beefed up.

[Guest IB2BLACK]

Also, Hogan height was exagerated. When I was younger, and I shook Hogan's hand at the Capital Center, I thought he was a giant, larger than life.

[Guest IDrinkRatsMilk]

I'm pretty sure that Kane is legit 6' 8", but wore lifts in his boots to make him 7'. If he's currently billed at 6' 9", I doubt he does anymore.

[Guest Anglesault]

I heard that Adre wasn't too much larger than Earnie Ladd.

[Guest geniusMoment]

torch said big show is a legit 6'10"

[Guest Downhome]

There is no way that one is true.

[Guest CanadianChick]

agreed. Seeing Benoit and Show toe to toe, Show is more than a foot tallers than him and Benoit is 5'10".

[Guest LatinoHeat]

was the Giant Gonzalez really 8 feet?

[Guest Mole]

Andre was 7 feet tall and weighed around 400lbs.

 

There is no way Show is 7'4". I don't think Show is bigger than Andre.

[Guest CanadianChick]

I think Show is actuallu about 7"1' or 7"2'.

No, but he was VERY close.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Andre was 7 feet tall and weighed around 400lbs.

Andre was billed as 7'5"

[Guest Downhome]

TBS is closer to 7'4 than an even 7, I know someone who used to know him. As for Giant Gonzalez, he was 7'10 I do believe.

[Guest subliminal_animal]

Gonzalez is 7'7". He's listed in that big hardcover Guiness Book of World Records for 1999 as Tallest Professional Wrestler or something. I know that whatever the record was doesn't sound like a real one, just one they made up because he's a interesting piece of trivia. I believe it also mentions he enjoys his retirement living on his farm in Argentina.

 

Anyway, the heights and weight are big lies in a lot of cases. No way Jeff Hardy is over 200. And Test was once billed as 7 feet, but he's not much bigger than Triple H. It's just the legs.

Weights must be made up on the fly or something.

 

Undertaker's weight changes whether he's champ or not.

 

On an episode of Velocity, Shannon Moore was announced at 202. One week prior to that, they were saying 180.

Well, not really.

 

Until recently, he was called in at 328 pounds, IIRC.

Here's something else I wonder...

 

Why don't they ever mention female wrestler heights, weights, and hometowns? Is it so hard to do?

[Guest caboose]

It's not polite to reveal a woman's statistics.

[Guest TheyCallMeMark]

Yeah I think the statistics might be more than a little exagerated. I've met the Rock and the Undertaker, and they didn't really seem tall, at all. Maybe 6'2, 6'4 at best.

[Guest The Mighty Damaramu]

Well I remember reading in Sex Lies and Headlocks that Andre was about 6'11".

And i knew the thing about Kane having lifts in his boots.

UT seems to actually be the only one being billed at his legit height b/c that fucker is tall.

Tajiri's weight jumped from the high hundred-somethings (in ECW) to two-hundred something in WWF when he came there not long after ECW.

 

TAKA was billed as being 200 lbs.

 

It's ALL exaggerated, trust me.

[Guest SP-1]

Molly Holly is from here in SC, only about 30-45 minutes from where I live. She got a hometown pop from the Charleston crowd at RAW here.

 

And I've met Big Show. He's f'ing tall. 7'2"-3" , but he's taller than 7.

If I lived that close to her (assuming she goes back home when she has time off), I'd probably be stalking the poor girl. I know Chris would be.

 

As for Show--why would they announce him as being shorter than he really is?

[Guest The Mighty Damaramu]

I dunno. You could think that he's over 7" when he's only like 6'10" because it's really rare to see people that big.

I know I'm only 6'4". I say only because I'm so used to gigantic wrestlers but everyone tells me I'm f'n huge.
