Undertaker nowhere near 6ft 9, on a rugby trip to south africa we shared a elevator with him and my team mate was legit barefoot 6ft 9 and dwarfed him, i would say 6ft 6 at the very most

Approx the same height as Hogan back in the day but in a lot of photos Jim’s shoulders are higher than Hogans but he did have Boulder shoulders. I’d say 6’5.5” peak and 6’4.5” now. Looked about 1.5” shorter than 6’7” peak Kane in a back stage photo on google.

Sid on his podcast has said his tallest bare foot measurement was a hair over 6’6. That puts a peak Hogan at 6’5-ish. Taker and Kane within 1” of Sid at their most.
Hillbilly always looked a solid 6’5 to me. Perhaps a little more.

If you see the video "13 minutes from Undertaker: Last Ride", at the 1:09 mark, you will see that 6'5-6'5'5 taker is about the same height or little taller than Jim. So I would guess Hillbilly to be a legit 6'5 guy.

HBJ a legit 6'5 and probably 6'5 1/2, Hogan while in Memphis in his late 20s was a solid 6'6 1/2. Never 6'8. Stud was 6'8ish at absolute best maybe half inch shorter.Andre not even close to 7'4" at his tallest he was 7'0 1/4. Most of his wrestling years 6'10, but nearly lost 3 inches in height from 28 to 46. Bundy 6'3" Rick rude 6'3"spivey, Sid 6'7 legit. Undertaker 6'9 Nash almost 6'11 Kane just shy of 6'10 whatever there billed, minus two inches Andre in his prime, probably before wrestling knew him was just over 7'0 age 25 or so

During his career as a performer, Hillbilly Jim was frequently “hunched over”, and he often wore a hat which made it difficult to gauge his true height. That being said, he seemed like a solid 6’7” peak.

if Jim was 6'5.5",Hogan was 6'6.25 at one point,when he won the belt in 1984 over iron Sheik Back stage with out the ring to throw the angle off most people don`t know that.Andre was 6 inches taller than hulk and andre probably had his thin souled boots on which takes him close to the 7'0" mark probably 6'11'.5" to maybe even 7'0" even in 1984.and I`m sure people can point out pics in the same circa where Andre dosen`t quite look that tall with other people of known height.But that`s what makes it such an interesting puzzle,especially if you believe like I do and think hogan with his injuries and steroid usage made him shrink more than many people think.Take a look at maybe 5'10.5" ronnie coleman aFTER 8 hip replacement surgeries I am afraid to see him near a tape measure.it`s from those 800lbs. dead lifts he was doing 10 years ago.I lost an inch and a half myself dead lifting and ronnie had me beat by a few pounds anyway LOL.But I wish him the best 8 times olimpiya champ extraordinary.

I will say 6'4.5"-6'5" in his prime and maybe even now. He's still in great shape. He looked a little shorter than Hogan and looked taller than he was because of his huge hair. No way was he under 6'4.5" though.

Absolutely love Hillbilly Jim, listening to his recent interviews, he seems so down to earth and a genuine kind person! During his run, he gave a pretty tallish impression, so somewhere in the 6'5 range is likely. I could have even bought 6'6, however he seems exactly the same height as Hogan during all their encounters, so 196-197 cm does seem correct. Even when he was in the Legends House with other former WWE wrestlers, he was the tallest one and still looked muscular and intimidating. It's funny to think, these days most guys his height are automatic heels so you can buy into the big bully, yet in those days he was a baby face and the heels were still around the same size or taller than him! It seems in the 1980's, 6'3-6'6 was the common range for wrestlers, in the 2010's the height has dropped to around 5'11-6'3 range.

he was shorter than Hogan who was 6´5.5"maximum.
6´4.75" is the tallest I can give him, same height as peak Scott Hall

I say Hill billy at a function once. He was standing on a bit of a platform, so it was hard to tell his exact height. I'm 6'4" and he didn't really seem to be any taller than me from what i could tell

Studd was less than 6'7 more like 6'5, when compared with Bill Fralic who may be 6'4 3/4. So that would make Studd less than 6'7. unless Bill is really 6'6 or 6'6 1/2.

After looking at the Hill Billy Delema with Bill Fralic and Bill being listed at 6'5, in the picture it looks as though Spivey is 6'5 instead of 6'6. Maybe Spivey's football Height is his height in shoes. Maybe Hillbilly is standing on his tippy toes with those guys.

One man gan was billed at 6'9", so based on the "Mcmahon" theory, he wasn't being billed as a giant, so that equals a 2 inch height exageration.
gang is also a solid inch and a half, maybe more, taller than HBJ on HBJ's website pics, so that puts gang at or around 6'7".

HBJ's website is awesome, because he has ALOT of pics on their with other wrestling superstars backstage..
what is clear from his photos: a 1985 hogan had a ful inch or better on HBJ, and his most recenmt picture with HBJ from a couple of years ago puts hogan at 2 inches shorter than HBJ, proviong that either a)hogan wore lifts, or b)hogan lost height.
i genuinely believe hogan lost alot of height. Multiple invasive back surgeries, 3 hip replacements, and 4 knee replacements combined with 30 years of dropping the atomic legdrop on opponents, its amazing the guy didn't loose 6 inches, let alone 3 inches, it is amazing he is even standing at all, let alone walking...

Well I think 6'5 1/2" for Billy Graham is a bit too downgraded. I'm sure that Graham was 6'7" in his prime but maybe he is at least 6'6" or 6'6 1/2" nowadays because he looks more than four inches taller than 6'1 1/2" Chris.

yes and andre was billed in england at 6'10 age 24, far from proving meltzer wrong we now have concrete evidence fully backing up his claims
flair is (or at least was) 5'11+ when i met him in 2004 and that video confirms it, he is taller than piper and roughly the same height as IRS, the police would not list him at 6'1 if he was 5'10, flair was never 4 inches shorter than 6'2 steve mcmichael (ex nfl) in the four horsemen

Hey Vegas....here are some of the photos you asked for. I also reposted the photo I have of myself and the Harris Brothers (who wrestled in both WCW and WWF)..They were often listed between 6'8 - 6'9...

I love the fact that it is not up for debate about HBJ not being under 6'5" and Hogan was taller than him in 3 pics from 1985-1989, THEREFORE, logic dictates that Hogan was a 6'6" man himself. Been a long time since Hogan had had an inch on a legit 6'5" man, heels or not.

dave meltzer told me Uncle elmer was a legit 6'8. He was billed as high as 7'7 under a previous gimmick in the 1970s believe it or not..........
Meltzer also claimed 6'9 3/4" for Andre. We've been over this Vegas.

Thanks MK for post.
Anyhow, here are a couple of screen captures I got with HBJ, Uncle Elmer (Stan Frazier) and Gene Okerlund. I know Gene is standing slightly in front of HBJ, but it will give you an idea. It is from 1985. Uncle Elmer appears to be around 6'8"...I have seen where he was listed as a legit 6'10" in his prime...I'm not sure if that was the case, though.

And, here is what footwear HJB was wearing that day:

I was wearing basic tennis shoes which probably put my height around 6'2 1/4"
The third picture of me and HBJ is abit skewed as we we both standing on a stage and the photographer was down on the ground shooting upwards...which probably made HBJ look alittle taller than he was.
And Hogan was taller than HBJ in 1985 (2 pics) and in 1989. So, what does that make Hogan???

There are two pics of Jim next to Duggan, one mnakes Duggan look way small, like 6 ft 1 in. One makes Duggan look a lil bigger at 6 ft 3 in.
And Dan Spivey looks aboot the height I would expect him to look. He was billed as 6 ft 6 in, when he re-entered the WWF in 1995. I think he may have lost a fraction is that was his billed height.

Thing is, I believe the 6'5 3/4" height listing of John Tenta over his 6'4" one. After his years of battling cancer, he probably was not as tall as he once was, seeing Hillbilly Jim was taller than him.

Hey guys, I'm the Chris in the photo above. I admit that most of the wrestlers that I have met over the 25 years are not nearly as tall as they were listed...and so was Hillbilly. However, I have two photos that I took with Jim that day and in both photos I came right up to his eye level. I'm an even 6'1 1/4" barefoot. We were both wearing tennis shoes in the photo. I would say he was a good 6'5 1/2" BTW, he was a very nice guy to talk to.

I remember Yokozuna was billed at 6'4. He looked no more than 6'2, maybe a little closer to 6'1. His weight IMO looked legit. He was 500lbs when he entered WWE and left at 600lbs or more. He died at 750lbs I read.

Monsoon is clealy taller then hillbilly jim by a half-inch id say. I think if JBL were to stragithen out he would be the same height as jim. Hogan looks taller in one pic and shorter in another. THoguh it is still conclusive proof that he has shrunk a few inches. Volkoff looked a legit 6'5", earthguake 6'6" (bald head), one man gang 6'7". Show is now a proven 7' as well seeign as he looks 100' taller then jim :)
Austin and Warrior were much shorter then what i would have envisoned next to Jim.

ultimate warrior is only 6'2
the rock 6'4
vince mcmahon atleast 6'1 1/2
HHH is probarly 6'3
sting 6' 1/2
big bossman no way 6'5. i would say 6'3 1/2 in his last years in wwe.
UT and kane is in the same size. there is not more than 1/2 inch between them. i think UT is 6'8 1/2 and kane slightly taller.
Edge is taller than 6'3. closer to 6'4 imo

Louie, what I find amazing is that you over exagerate all the wrestlers heights, you also give before and afters dor Taker, Flair and others, but only give Hogan's present height and only Andre's peak. Your "ESTIMATES" are just that. DON'T start it off as stating that these are the "REAL" height. According to who? According to you???? You haven't been around long enough to make this flawed list. Try again.

Viper, have you been to Hillbilly's site? He stands next to EVERY wrestler. We see how he towers over everyone, including The Rock and many other. Hogan was actually taller than Hillbilly in the 80's, but is a couple of inches shorter than him today. Proof of his shrinkage. Check out Hillbilly's site and pics.

Man, I remember Hillbilly in the WWF but it seems like ages ago. I remember watching the main events on NBC in the 80s when I was real little. Hogan and Andre had a few matches on that program. The best part about Main event was Vince and Bobby the brain were so hillarious.

Rob, he wouldn't have lost any height when the pics with NFL players were taken. He was still young. We're going back 20 years here.

Today Hogan is 6'3" and change and I called this WELL before ever having viewed Hillbilly's site.

Cycklops, if Hillbilly is at least 6'5", how can you say that Hogan only looks 6'5"-6'5 1/2"? In that pic with Brutus, Hogan and Hillbilly, Hogan's head is clearly 1.5-2" taller than Hillbilly's. I give 6'6" and change. I dare say that Hogan would have been only marginally taller than 6'7" Studd during that era. Hmmmm, isn't that what I've been saying all along? Nobody listed though.

It's actually quite ironic that HillBilly is as much taller than Hogan today, as Hogan was taller than him back in the eighties. I say Hogan has lost closer to 4 inches, not 3. Gallery 2, pic 8 (1989-1990), Gallery 3, pic 27 (definitely 1985), and Gallery 5, pic 15 (2004-2005). Just for yourselves friends.

Look at Billy Graham in 1987, still at 6'4". Today, you'll see on Hillbilly's site that the Superstar has shrunk at least 5-6 inches. Hogan isn't too far behind. They have both had hip replacements, knee replacements, neck and back surgeries. Hogan was 6'6" and today is 6'3". The proof is on Hillbillyjim.com

Hogan looks 6'5"-6'5.5" in that pic. If the Hulkster cowboy boots weren't in effect...and they almost certainly were.

What's also interesting is seeing how much shorter Nikolai Volkoff was next to Hillbilly in the pic with him and the Iron Sheik and yet in Gallery 5, pic number 10, Nikolai looks like a strong 6'4".
Poor Supesrtar Billy Graham. Look at him today in Gallery 5, pic 13. He has shrunk SOOOOO much. He was 6'3"-6'4" in his DAY (legit). He was slightly taller than the 6'2 1/2"-6'3" Bill Kazmaier at the 1980 World Strongest Man Competition. We all know that the Superstar has undergone the same devastating surgeries that Hogan underwent. There was a pic of the two of them in 1987, when Hogan was at his peak and was even wearing his cowboy boots (2-3") and Superstar was only about 3 inches shorter. The man is about 5'11" today. We know what's in store for Hogan in the next 10 years.

Piper is 6'0" at best today. Same height as Vince and possibly slightly shorter than Vince.
Gallery 5, pic 7, we see that The Big show is only slightly taller than Hillbilly, but then again, he is MUCh further back. Still an interesting pic though.

6'3" for Ted Dibiase was DEFINITELY not out of reach!

Gallery 4, pic 1, we can see how SHORT The Ultimate Warrior really was. The man wasn't even 6'0". Outback Jack was a very taller man and JYD WASN'T.
Mr. Perfect appeared to be his listed height of 6'2"-6'3". This is very interesting and FUN!!!

Sorry I was a bit harsh there, Danimal ... but seriously, it's a basic fact of photography. Try experimenting with a camera, or look through your photo albums to see what I mean.
Thanks for drawing attention to Hillybilly Jim's photo gallery though, it really was a great find!

We also know what Owen Hart was, Bruno Sammartino in later years and the list invariably goes on...
By the way Rob, what is you take now on Hogan?
