Guest RollingSambos Report post Posted June 4, 2003 Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't seem like The Big Show is 7'2" legit. He doesn't even look 7'. Maybe it's that he's gotten WIDER over the years, but he just doesn't look that tall when compared to a guy like Nathan Jones, who looks every inch of his billed height of 6'11". If I had to guess Show's true height, I'd say 6'10". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2003 (edited) Yeah, and he hasn't been 500lbs the entire time either, I heard one time he was down to like 470. Edited June 4, 2003 by 5_Star_Frog_Splash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted June 4, 2003 I've met the Big Show before. He was seated when I went to get my autograph, but he is a very big man. I made him hold his hand up so that I could put my hand up beside it, and he did so with an ink pen in his hand. My hand was at best half the size of his and I couldn't feel the pen. That's a big man... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mach7 Report post Posted June 4, 2003 Wrestlers are hardly, if ever, billed at their actual height and weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest notJames Report post Posted June 4, 2003 I don't think he's really that close to 500 lbs. More like 425, if that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mattdotcom Report post Posted June 4, 2003 "Big Show is just too big to be measured accurately! That's right, fans. Nothing in WWE exists that can measure the big man! Come see us LIVE just to see how big he is!" They should use that to market him, kinda like Yokozuna back in the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rob Edwards Report post Posted June 4, 2003 I think he's about 7", Taker's 6"8 I believe if anyone can find a pic of them together we can make a guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest edotherocket Report post Posted June 4, 2003 While we're on the subject, how tall legitamately was Giant Gonzales? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted June 4, 2003 TBS is a legit 7'2", Giant Gonzales is a legit 7'6" or somewhere around there, and Andre the Giant was a legit 6'9"-7'2" depending on the time in his career you want to talk about. I'm pretty sure the above is what guys like Scherer have said in the past, but I'll ask around and make sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wrestlingbs Report post Posted June 4, 2003 5 foot even. It's all about the camera angles. All I know is that he technically is the largest wrestler in the WWE, since Andre's disease caused him to become shorter later in life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Quik Report post Posted June 4, 2003 7 feet tall, or 7 feet wide? God I hate Big Show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest notJames Report post Posted June 4, 2003 They would probably do that with the women, if they listed their stats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LatinoHeat Report post Posted June 4, 2003 Why dont they list the womens weight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bannable Offense Report post Posted June 4, 2003 I'd say etiquette it's not really proper to give a woman's weight. That and it's not really intimidating when you hear a wrestler's weight announced as anything below 150 pounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest OnlyMe Report post Posted June 4, 2003 That and it's not really intimidating when you hear a wrestler's weight announced as anything below 150 pounds. Fink: "...And the opponent, weighing in at 7 1/2 pounds... Stacy Keeeeeeibler." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest evilhomer Report post Posted June 5, 2003 Actuall, Terri weighs 7 1/2 pounds... only after a big meal though. This thread reminds me of the Holly's super-heavyweight gimmick they had going for a while. How big did Crash get up to... something like 6'6" and 400 lbs.
