Rhyno was said to be 285 pounds but at only 5'10. That's pretty freakin' big. If he was that heavy he would either be as "big boned" as Bubba Ray or as jacked as Lesnar.

W asn't hogan billed as being as being 6'8 at one point? One of the PE coaches in elementary school (who was a pretty tall guy) said he met Hogan which isn't hard to believe because this is Florida and all. He was kind of playful and said "Hey guys, this is Hogan!" he said compared to him he seemed a little shorter and no doubt is below 6'8. |

Crash Holly. No way was he well over 400 lbs. I'd have to say he was 395.

Jimmy Jacobs. Judging by the one time he (quite literally) ran into into my wife and I at a show, there's no way in hell he's 5'7".

From what I recall, Lance Storm said that oddly, they underbilled Christian's height at 5'10 or so, when he is more around 6'0. Presumably because he debuted as a Light Heavyweight.

Edge gets overweighed I'm sure.
Shawn Michaels probably weighed in about 50 or so pounds less than his billed weight in his last few years. For the best at that stage, less strain on the joints.

I remember, even as a young mark, being annoyed when Vince McMahon would say on commentary, "The eight-foot tall Giant Gonzales," knowing full well that Gonzales was El Gigante from WCW, who was always billed as 7'7". That's five inches difference. I can see calling someone a seven-footer if he's, say, 6'10", but five inches is pretty noticeable.* * {Spoiler}That's what she said. |

Andre The Giant. He may have been around 7'0 but there is just no way he was much taller than guys like Undertaker or Kevin Nash or even Big Show.

I've heard/read that Andre was closer to 6'11 than 7'5.

I've heard/read that Andre was closer to 6'11 than 7'5. Too bad he never got to have a match with Undertaker. Undertaker is a legit 6'10(maybe 6'9) |

Dusty Rhodes - 285 lbs. BULL. <Ventura>Because I know DAMN well Sapphire weighs 2 and a half! ANYWAY, here's one I like: the height they bill Rey Mysterio as I think is 5'6". When I remember he was mentioned as being 5'2" in WCW. |

Isn't Shawn Michaels' height drastically overbilled?

I remember reading on WWF/E.com back in the day and it said that Test was 7', as well as it being said in Wrestlemania 2000 the video game, when it was later changed to 6'7".
Also, Christian being billed at 5'10", when I heard that he is over 6 feet tall.
This one always seemed off to me. I am talking about The Big Show during his WCW days as The Giant. It was said that he was 7'4" 450 lbs at one point, but in 1998, it was later changed to 540 lbs. In my opinion, I thought that seemed a little inaccurate and it didn't make much sense. Real weight or not, I doubt someone would or could gain 90 pounds within a few months. Then when he came to the WWF, it was said just 7' and just 500 lbs.

Crash Holly. No way was he well over 400 lbs. I'd have to say he was 395. Conversely, I don't think that Playboy Buddy Rose was ever a slim, trim 217 lbs. |

Shawn Michaels
Back in the 90s he looked to be 225lbs, but today on TV he doesn't. But if you see him up close and personal, he actually does look to be close 225lbs in real life. He just looks small compare to the bigger guys. Now I know his body shape has change over the years, but he's still about the same in weight. Its just that he used to be just muscle and now he's more of both muscle and fat now.

According to Nash/Hall: HBK is a legit 6'0 or 6'1".

I will say this: Whatever Garrison Cade was listed at, it should have been bumped up 10 lbs. He had muscles on top of muscles that didn't necessarily show up on TV.

Hogan in his prime was pretty tall but never 6'8. I think he was probably 6'6 at his peak and is down to about 6'4 now as he's in his 50's and had knee/back surgeries
When I think of guys in the 275's and over, it's the huskier wrestlers. Duggan, Road Warrior Animal etc
