I was just watching smackdown and Apollo Crews' entrance stats listed him as 6ft 1ins 😂

I knew Shawn was generally billed at 6'1 but never 6'2
Pretty accurate. Kurt might have been a bit over 200lbs around 2000-2002 though, he might have been 210lbs ish. Promoters generally inflate the hell out of guys weights. I don't think people realize how big a lean 200lbs on the average 5'9 frame. That's why when they bill guys like Gargano at 200lbs, it makes me laugh. The guy would be lucky to be 150lbs
Stallone is like 5'6 so visually you could buy Thunderlips at 7'0 if you're billing Stallone at 6'0

That's movie magic!
I know Idris Elba is a legit 6 ft 3in so Dwayne is def not over 6ft 2.5
Next to 6' 4'' Conan
Adam Cole has a small frame with narrow shoulders. If he were ever able to put on muscles they would look like they were Velcro'd to him. I had a buddy like him with little bones and skinny wrists who looked like he was wearing a muscle suit whenever he got on the juice.
Fair point. We know that Goldberg is legit 6'2 in height thanks to his nfl stats.
So I'd say HHH is 6'1,5 or 6'2 inches tall then 🙂
to be fair this is looks later in his career.
Speaking of shrinking
Is it normal to shrink 3 inches at any age? And are they still billing taker as 328 and Drew 260?

I don't think you realize Kurt was always around monsters like HHH, Kane, Taker, Show, Brock, etc so ofc he will look "small" and "skinny", but see pics of him outside the ring during that time, dude is HUGE.
Your point here is? This pic is clearly taken by some midget and is taken from down looking up, have someone their height take pic and you will see Kane has at least 2 inches on him. Kane is leaning, this guy is standing as straight as he can (also bit closer to camera) and still if you look closely you can see Kane is clearly 2-3 inches taller.
Drew himself said he is 6'5 and in his boots 6'7 and Taker is prob just under 6'7 these days and also has lifts on most likely. Not to mention camera angle. See this:to be fair this is looks later in his career.

6' Malone next to Taker. Looks almost same height here:
but then:
Taker fucking dwarfs him.
camera tricks are moot because in the footage there is a clear full figure shot of them with no angle illusions.

Prime Hogan was probably 6'5 or 6'6. But never 6'8
Sid is probably 6'8. Hes just as tall as Taker, or close to it.
Hogan looks to be 2-ish inches shorter than Sid.
One decade of wrestling, and multiple knee/back surgeries later and he's only as tall as The Rock.
Thanks.

Hogan was never 6'5 - 6'6. In his prime he was a solid 6'4 or maybe 6'4.5 if I'm being generous. You can see the 3 inch difference in the first Hogan/Sid pic(even with Sid sticking his chin out) with both of them standing in an even ground(middle of the ring). Where in the 2nd pic they seem to be close in height, the reason is Hogan was standing next to the ropes while Sid was standing right in the middle. To make it short, rings mats are not even.
In the last pic, Hogan is as tall as Rock. Due to multiple back/knee surgeries and age, he shrunk down to 6'3.
Youre probably right
I'm not good with american measurements, so I have a hard time determining how much an inch or two is, just by looking at pictures If Hogan is 6'4, I'm also more inclined to belive that Andre was actually below 7 feet. Sure, he's still half a head taller than Hogan. But I don't think he's THAT much taller.
Not the greatest angle, but it seems like theres the same height difference between Hogan and Nash as there is with Hogan and Andre.
With that in mind i'll definately add Brutus Beefcake to the mix. If Hogan is 6'4-ish, No way Brutus is the 6'4 he was billed at
Note, Brutus is also standing a bit closer to the camera, if you look at the feet.
