It is kind of safe bet that you can take 1 -2 inches off the heights and 20 - 40 pounds off the weights of wrestlers to get the idea of their real size.

 

Ambrose is about 6 foot 1 or maybe half an inch shorter. Brock is 6'2 as he was reportedly measured a 1/4 of an inch over 6'2 at the NFL combine in 2004 barefoot.

Most wrestlers you would only have an estimate for but Corbin was measured 6'6 1/2 barefoot at the combine, Reigns 6'2 1/2.

 

I’m about 6’1” and have been around some of the guys you mentioned and I’d say your projections are dead on. I was probably equal to Ambrose in height and gave up an inch to Reigns. I was probably a smidge taller than Cena and had a good 3 inches on Shawn Michaels.

 

Braun is nowhere close to as big as I thought he was. I've been to NBA games and NBA big men make Braun look pretty small in comparison.

 

He is a big dude but height wise he is around same height as Corbin (they have a number of photos standing together outside wrestling). He is still huge at 6'7 350ish but the tallest nba players especially those 7 foot and over would make him look short.

Look how short the mountain (game of thrones) looks with two Icelandic basketballers

 

Most guys above 6'2 get their heights overstated by three inches and most guys below 5'10 get a couple of inches boost. Rey Mysterio is something like 5'3-5'4 but he is billed to be 5'6. Big Show in his prime was 6'10 or 6'11 but his billed height at one point was 7'4. Hulk Hogan in his prime was 6'4 but he was billed at 7'0 by certain territories. Undertaker is around 6'6-6'7 but he was billed to be 7'0.

 

Heights are exaggerated. Kane isn't seven feet tall nor is Taker. Don't believe Big Ass is either. I do know that Bryan is 5'8" :yes

omg Bryan busting out Cass for lying about his height could have been a great segment


"you're not even 7ft no wonder you can't teach that"

 

More than the heights of male wrestlers, I have a problem with female wrestler's weights. Natalya, Dana Brooke, and Nia Jax are easily several pounds heavier than what they are billed at.

 

Cass was listed 6'8 in college basketball so he isn't taller than that https://web.archive.org/web/20160427051232/http://www.gonyuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=24

He is noticeably shorter than big show anyway and show is old, fat, broken down and probably lost an inch from his peak in 1995..show btw was listed 7 foot as a NCAA division 1 center in 1991-92 so he legit was that tall early in his career or very close.

 

It's usually padded by at least 2 inches, but for giants it can be as much as 5. Notably Giant Gonzalez was billed at 8 feet, but from his basket ball stats he was 7'7''.

 

There is no logic to pro wrestling billings. Sometimes people are billed at or near their real height (Orton, Cena, Mick Foley, Mark Henry, Drew McIntyre) then others get crazy listings like angle at 6'2 or Batista 6'8 in ovw or big bossman 6'9 during his first run in WWF.

It's alot easier for people to believe Gonzalez was 8 foot because 99% won't be able to tell the difference between 7'6-7'7 and 8 foot anyway with say Mysterio at 5'6 (he is closer to 5'1 in reality) or Batista at 6'8 (around 6'2) or angle at 6'2 (was 5'10 probably shorter now)

 

Isn’t a height stat, but The biggest lie was the shark on wcw listed at over 500 pounds..

 

They just weigh them like once and keep that forever which is ridiculous. If they're not pleased with someone's height and weight they usually add an inch or two and add 10-20 pounds.
Look at Kevin, dude is actually more like 5'10 than 6'0.

 

Ambrose is fucking tall. The last time I met him, he practically had to hunch over halfway to fit in the photo cos I'm so short and he's so tall :lol

 

I always believed they were shorter than their billed heights I've seen Kane live in person when I was seated ringside and I was only slightly shorter than him, me being at 193 cm.

 

One person I actually thought was shorter than he looks up close is Sheamus, I don't know why but he never comes across like a "giant" to me but I bet he's not much shorter than Braun actually.

 

I remember couple of years back commentators (could've been Cole or King, not sure who exactly) kept mentioning how huge Sheamus actually is, they've said how TV doesn't do him justice, when you are close to him he is huge. He is about 6ft3 and billed at 6ft6 but he is 270 pounds easily so he is huge guy.

 

I sometimes find it hilarious how WWE is just randomly making up numbers and they sometimes get stuck with 2 wrestlers in ring at same time where one is supposed to be 7ft other one like 6ft6-6ft9 yet they are basically same height, so they have to switch camera angles and record from down looking up to hide it.

Show had to be 7ft back in the day, he made 6ft8 Taker and Kane look short, and keep in mind that they had huge lifts putting them at 6ft10 easily, and still at times they seemed 4 or so inches shorter. Show also had lifts in his boots but not as massive as Kane's.

Cena is about 6ft and half, billed at 6ft1, and then Miz is billed at 6ft1 I think yet he is taller than Cena, and then Ambrose is 6ft4 and yet he is basically same height as Miz in some of their segments I've saw. You could say he is slouching but loosing 3 inches is too much. He is 6ft1, Reigns is 6ft2 and Rollins prob 6ft1 max.

Basically if you are 5ft9-5ft11 you are billed at 6ft, not only in WWE but also Hollywood, if you are 6ft you are 6ft2, if you are 6ft2 you are 6ft4, if you are 6ft4-5 you are 6ft7, and then 6ft7+ you are near 7ft, or 7 ft. With shorter guys its easily noticable, because most of people are 5ft10-6ft these days, but when you see guy like Kane, Braun, Taker, Rowan, Nash etc it's hard to guess their height because they are so gigantic.

I work with these 2 guys, one is prob 6ft7 (Hard to guess, but I'm about 6ft and look like child next to him) and guy is 310 pounds he looks fucking huge, and then this other guy is normal weight but he is 6ft9 and basically we all look like kids next to him, and everybody assumes he is 7ft so he gets asked a lot how tall he is. When they stand together you can tell 310 pound guy is bit shorter but if you just see them at diff times this 310 pound guy looks like he is 6ft9+, because he is fucking huge.

Same with Kane, Braun, etc, a lot of people who meet them claim they are from 6ft5-6ft10, when someone is so fucking tall and also 300+ pounds they can either seem shorter because of their width or taller because they are so intimidating.

Anyway, Samoa Joe and Rusev are 5ft11, Ziggler 5ft10, Zayn prob 5ft11, Brian 5ft7-8, Cass about 6ft9, Braun 6ft7-8, Ryback 6ft1, Owens 5ft9-10, Mahal 6ft3, Brock 6ft2, Sheamus 6ft3, Cesaro and Orton about 6ft3-6ft4, Jordan 6ft, Bray Wyatt about 6ft1, etc.

 

Meeting the wrestlers really puts in perspective how they exaggerate heights. I'm 5'9" and I'm the same height as Jericho and Angle, who have both been billed as 6 foot. Balor and AJ Styles have a slight edge on me in height, I'd say Balor is a legit 5'10 and Styles is 5'11. X-Pac was billed at 6 foot and based on our pic together, I think that's accurate. Because he was a cruiserweight, there was no need to embellish his height by a couple inches. Kane might not be a legit 7 footer, but he's still the tallest person I've ever met by a considerable distance. Felt like a child next to him.

 

they said Angle was 6'2 lol

 

Angle 6'2 and Cena 6'1, you can see at 1 minute 10 seconds how much taller Cena was than angle (maybe 3 inches) wearing similar footwear

 

Cass is 6"9...I know someone that trained with him at the performance center

Kane is running for Knoxville mayor and I've spoken with him many times and he's 6"9-6"10, undertaker is actually a little shorter

Bob holly was not in fact well over 500 pounds

Your first 2 sentences seemed perfectly genuine. Why did you have to ruin it all with this vicious lie???

Crash Holly was "allegedly well over 400lbs" and Hardcore Holly was bigger than him.

 

Andre The Giant's height was greatly exaggerated and it is ridiculous that there are people who believe that he was 7'4''.

 

He was more like 6"10 right? But whatever about his height.. dude was just massive(even more so than big show).

Really? Because most people who have met Kane say he's more like 6"6.

 

still find it funny that anyone thinks Ambrose is actually 6'4 the dude is 6'2 AT BEST

 

Booker T is billed 6'3'' and Ambrose damn sure isn't taller than him. Ambrose isn't even 6'2''.

 

Brock Lesnar - Height of Laziness
Randy Orton - Height of Boredom

 

I don't know about modern wrestling but back in the day there was major exaggerations, Hogan was billed as 6'8 when he was probably about 6'4 and Andre as has been mentioned even in his prime was never more than 7'0 and by the mid 80's was several inches shorter than that, at Wrestlemania 5 for example he stood face to face with Big John Studd who in kayfabe was 5 or 6 inches shorter than him but they were clearly almost the same height when face to face.

 

Lesnar is taller than Reigns and Ambrose. So the 6’4” stuff is a load of crap.
