The Brodie Lee topic got me thinking. We know every wrestling promotion and their moms inflate the heights and weights of their wrestlers, some more than others. Anybody know the actual heights of anybody? I've never been in good enough seats at shows to really assess myself, though I feel like only Big Show and Khali are legitimate seven-footers. I think someone even might have said that HBK and Angle are actually shorter than six foot but I dunno how accurate that is.

Yeah, I think Angle is about 5'10", and HBK is 5'11".
They used to be ridiculous with their exaggerations, sometimes adding about 4 inches to a guy's height (with Big Show especially).

Eddy G was like 5'9, but billed as 6' for a bit.
HHH is billed as 6'4, but he looks like he might be around 6'1 or so.
Taker is 6'9, and so is Kane, but he wears/wore lifts. I remember Big Daddy V being billed as 6'9, but being the same exact height as Kane and Taker, which made me LOL.

Isn't HBK WAY shorter than he's billed as?

I know back in the day they said Hogan was 6'8" and then when the feud with Rock 10 years ago came about, he and Rock (a billed 6'5") were about the same height.
Then again Hogan DID have some knee surgeries...

I'm sure Taker is around the 6'7-6'9 range

Despite being billed at 5'10'', Daniel Bryan has stated that he's 5'8''. He's still taller than Rey. |

Hornswoggle is billed as 4'4, but in actuality is closer to 4'1

He was still being billed as 5'3 when he first came into WWE in '02. Maybe he finally hit puberty and had a growth spurt since then. |

Test was billed as 7ft in the WWF N64 games, then back to 6'6.
Vladimir Kozlov was like 6'8 for a while (he looks this height in the WWE games), then 6'5, Wikipedia lists him as 6'3.
Mark Henry changed from 6'1 to 6'4, could be those bulky boots he wears now.

Being near ringside at one show made me realise how flexible they are with the heights. All the main eventers (who are usually billed at around half a foot taller than I am) were nowhere near that.
TV doesn't do Khali justice though. That guy is GINORMOUS.

Great Khali is billed at 7'1" but after seeing him live, I don't think he is more than 6'9" or 6'10"

I believe Stacy is billed shorter than what she was. Billed as 5'11. She's a legit 6'0.
Chyna was always billed as 6'0 when she's 5'10.
I remember Raw on XBox billing Trish as 5'8. I had to laugh hard at that. Trish is about 5'3 -5'4.

I know when I met RVD he was on eye level with me.
He's billed at 5'11....I'm 5'11. So it seemed reasonable enough.
His frame was much smaller than mine though as far as bone structure goes.
