Seeing as WWE, and wrestling in general are notorious for heavily over billing their stars....

I just can't believe that Kozlov is listed as 6'8 on the WWE website. Understandable why they do it, they want to bill him as a monster (or used to...). But seriously, 6'8? He looks about 6'1.5, or maybe a bit taller. I can't see how WWE would think the fans would buy Kozlov being anywhere near that height. Regal looked taller than him.

For the weight I think Orton being billed 240 is a bit too much, especially as Cena is billed the same weight (Cena looks a legit 240 pounder) and has MUCH more muscle mass.

 

[Geeee]

As far as Orton goes, it's a case of him being 240 previously and they just didn't change his kayfabe weight when he slimmed down.

I think one of the most egregious ones is billing Shawn Michaels at 227.

 

[wrestlingfan91]

Bobby Heenan billed Gonzales at 8 Foot.

 

[PBens21]

Kane being 7'0

 

[Hamada]

For ages Taker was billed at about 320 lbs, eventually they HAD to lower it - 305, 299... but for a while he was always build at 320 and he didn't look it.

Kane being 7'0

This would be my 2nd place, he's struggling with 6'7 these days.

 

[PJ Awesome]

Well probably for me it's them billing Rey at 5'6 175 when he's actually around 5'4 160

 

[Cerbs]

Pretty much any time Shawn Michaels was billed over 200 pounds.

 

[The+King_of_Kings]

The Holly's claiming they were over 400 pounds.

 

[Thumbinthebum]

The Holly's claiming they were over 400 pounds.

That wasn't ridiculus, Bob's teeth alone must've weighed 250.

Christian being billed around the 230lb mark is ridiculous these days. MVP being billed at 6'3 was clearly bollocks as well, even before his real height became known it was obvious he was much shorter than that.

You forget that Orton is about 6'4", while Cena is barely above 6'1", so of course Cena is going to look more muscular

 

[Nightmare_SE]

In all honesty I don't even see the point in having billed height and weight, they're completely meaningless in pro wrestling unless its someone exceptionally heavily (eg. Yokozuna) or exceptionally tall (eg. Big Show).

Whats funny is all the bitching Rey gets over not being a heavyweight whenever he's champion, yet guys like CM Punk, Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, and possibly even Orton aren't heavyweights (220+ lbs) either.

This one is minor, but I use to hate when they billed The Rock as 6-5 275, for some reason he looks so much smaller then that.

Rock is a legit 6'4 and was a D-1 defensive lineman, so 275 doesn't seem far-fetched to me

I agree, he's a little over 6'2 and was in the 260 zone in his career until later years where he looked as low as 230-240 at times.

The height I can believe, since Hunter is about the same height as him and he is a legit 6-4. It the weight that I always found far-fetch, he looked so much smaller especially in 2001-2002.

I always figured him around 245-250 range later, and closer to 260 when he was bulkier. Having 15 lbs added to your true weight seems like about the least amount they would add, lol

Not too sure about Hunter being 6'4 lol.

 

[wrestlingfan91]

Hunter is barely with Wrestling boots 6'2, which would make him 6'1.

 

[dave 1981]

Giant Gonzalez was billed as eight feet tall and i also remember in WCW when Hulk Hogan refering to Andre The Giant being 700 pounds when he was feuding with The Giant in 1995 which i found to be crazy.
