looks like bret hart was roughly the same height bare footed if not smaller

Anyone got a Bret Hart/Yokozuna staredown because Yokozuna was 6'0.5" and if I'm correct, he wrestled barefoot.
tom said on 21/Aug/12
yep hes a 6 foot guy.
Hob said on 28/Jul/12
WWF peak 6'4. 6'0 only if he stand straight. 5'11 here

Owen Hart 175cm
Bret Hart 182cm
Jake T. said on 8/Feb/12
Bret did look around 2.5 to 3 inches taller than Owen Hart, I think 6'0 as a peak for Bret and 5'11.5 today.

Bret is a regular 6 footer, im in the police and have been digitally measured at 1.85. I met bret at book signings around uk - he is clearly 2cm shorter and we even had the same trainers on...

A legit 182-183cm guy.

5-11 to 6 feet depends on the footwear,but looks right for that height
logan noll 1996 said on 12/Nov/11
About 6 foot. Ykozuna was 6 foot 0.5 inches tall and bret seemed a teeny bit smaller than yokozuna. Bret looked taller - but bret had 1 inch lifts on his boots - so bret was 6 feet tall.

I met Bret at a book signing in 2009 (I think, may have been 2008). He was sat down so the pics I have are useless, but I was one of the last people in line and when he stood up to leave I was surprised at how tall he actually was.

I have a friend who is a legit 5'11" (180cm) guy, and Bret looked taller to me than my friend, so I can't see Bret much (if anything) under 6'0" even today at 50+ years old.

looks taller in the picture with rob

Looks 5'11 with Rob

Is he in his prime with Rob? Is he even coming close to standing up straight with Rob? I think not. Would you want someone to base your height off of a picture of you hunched over?

Some people here just want him at 5'11, even after Rob met him and estimated a non peak bret at 6'...
jake, 1.82 m said on 4/Oct/11
To me he looks 6ft (1.83 m) for sure in the pictures.
the AMAZING Babushka said on 21/Sep/11
5'11" for bret, same height as Flair back in the day. Flair was NEVER 6'
John B said on 16/Sep/11
Have to question Bret's height he was 6 foot for sure there was no question about that, but after watching Raw this week where Bret teamed with John Cena who is legit 6'1 I say Bret is no taller then 5'11 these days, he has droped allot of weight and size over the last few years and is looking a little shorter.

I agree that in 1997 he did look 6'0-6'1 next too Vince.

- In the above pictures, bret hart looks nothing below 6'0
dicksock said on 6/Sep/11
Here's a question: Where is this supposed 5'11" billing I keeping hearing about for Bret?

Bret was around the same height as Vince McMahon and Roddy Piper. He was noticeably taller than 5'11" Ric Flair in 1998. All of this evidence has been posted (by me) numerous times. Bret was 6' in his prime. He may have been 6'0.5".
James said on 3/Sep/11
yep 6ft seems right
tell-em said on 2/Sep/11
if bret is 5'11" danimal, then that makes mamun and rob 5'7". i've met the man. hes 6'0".
Tuga said on 1/Sep/11
6' peak for bret hart.
miko said on 1/Sep/11
Bret looks easily 6'0 next to Rob and Mamun.

Drop Bret to 5'11, and Rob and Mamun are both 5'7.
Danimal said on 31/Aug/11
miko says on 30/Aug/11
Easy 6'0 in his prime. 5'11 listing means nothing.

6'2.5 Mark Henry is billed at 6'1.

HAHA... 5'11" peak for Bret and Mark Henry was shorter than Vader in 1996.

Might be 5-10.5 today, never taller than his billed 5-11 height.
___________

i have never seen a billing of 5'11 by an actual wrestling company for bret, i have seen 5'11 for him on 3rd party websites of course and in magazines, whereas wwe bill ted dibiase sr 6'1 on their website last couple of years Click Here and still give piper 6'2 Click Here

bret was noticeably taller next to christian on smackdown last week compared to kurt angle next to christian in tna so still around ~5'11 would be my guess

I'd say he's about 5'11. Met him a few times and he didn't seem overly tall.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/Aug/11
In the 80s and 90s he looked 6ft(183cm). In recent years he's been appearing more like a 5ft11(180cm) guy.

But you can't see their footwear though. I think Shawn liked to wear heeled Boots a lot..
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 12/Jul/11
It's not that rare, Shaun.
John Cena claims 6ft(183cm) and is listed by the WWE as 6ft1(185cm)
Steve Austin for years has been described as 6ft2(188cm) and claims to be 6ft1, although I think he's maybe 186-187cm.
Shaun said on 12/Jul/11
How unusual for a wrestler to actually state a legit height
mike said on 11/Jul/11
Didn't they say he was 6.3 in the 80's?
5'8.18758596 said on 2/Jul/11
Yeah, he looks quite the strong 6 footer for being a guy in his 50s and with back problems, do you think he could have been a weak 6'1 at peak, Rob?
Editor Rob
I doubt it
Danimal said on 20/Jun/11
Brotha says on 12/Jun/11
He's 6ft exact and was always around 235 lbs in his wwe/wcw days. Said so in his autobiography, and he's one honest dude.

5'11" (his billed height in the 1970's and 1980's)..
tell-em said on 20/Jun/11
i've met the man in person. 6'0" indeed. just like he said in his book.

182cm minimum...overall 6ft looks believable.

Looks 5'11 with Rob. Maybe a 6'0 peak.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 29/May/11
I disagree James...I remember seeing that Wrestlemania match years ago and if I recall, The Hitman (Bret Hart) was a little taller than HBK.

I think Bret Hart is 5ft11.75(182cm) and HBK is 5ft11(180cm)
James said on 26/May/11
he was a fraction shorter than HBK in 1997.

Today there probably around the same height
Steve Summers said on 25/May/11
Seeing Bret up close in person he is taller than I expected and I am 6' .Bret is A very big muan it was the best experience learning he lives in my neighborhood and does his grocery shopping where I work! He's the best there is the best there was &.the best there ever will be.
CJ said on 24/May/11
He looked more in the high 5'10 range standing with John Cena just now. Can't be 6'0
rafa said on 17/May/11
He doesn't look 5'11" in any pic, he looks about 6' in both pics
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Apr/11
Looks 180cm or 181cm with Rob
James said on 24/Apr/11
he looks smaller than 6ft with rob
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/Apr/11
6"0.5(184cm) peak Rob?
tell-em said on 9/Apr/11
well apparently he does look over 5'11" next to me, mamun, and rob so that billing is either a fib or inaccurate.
Danimal said on 8/Apr/11
Never been over 5'11", which was his ORIGINAL billing in Stampede Wrestling and in the 1980's before he became a STAR in the 1990's... Same height as HBK..
aaronious said on 8/Apr/11

He is a legit 6ft
J.J. said on 11/Mar/11
A solid 182cm man he couldn't be less than 5'11 and 5/8ths
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Mar/11
186cm is pushing it...
James said on 24/Feb/11
rampage are u blind? With rob he is dropping some serious posture and still and still looks 180cm.

With Mamum looks a legit 183cm.

so yeah maybe just 183cm peak but 184cm is not impossible either
James said on 20/Feb/11
184cm peak

Tuga said on 8/Feb/11
Rob met and took a picture with him and estimates his height at 6', the picture confirms it, if bret stood straight he would have Rob by an easy 4 inches.

This is an easy one and a good mesuring stick for many other wrestlers.

Here we have a 6'1"+ Vince McMahon in 1997 with 5'11" Bret Hart. This goes to show how much height Vince has lost since the 1990's (and he was already in his early 50's here). Watch at 3:53 onwards: Click Here

But in some how he was down to to 5'10 - 5'11 before 1996 which we can prove here when seing him next to your 5'9 bulldog Click Here Click Here then he did suddenly grow back to 6'1 at a later point? what caused vince to grow back those 2-3 inches at age of 50+?

The time sequence you refer to is laughable, cant you see by looking at the ropes and the crowd that the angle is being tilted ALOT?

Vegas has already posted several top to toe pics of vince and bret together, in each one bret edges out vince and you knows it. Bret 5'11 then vince 5'10 1/2 or bret 6'0 then vince 5'11 1/2 its your choice.

Hogan lost a bit of height due to knee and hip and back surgeries. plus he was a wrestler and really tall (6'6ish) to begin with. A man in their fifties who is under 6'5 will NOT lose anything more than a 1/4 which is there if he straightens properly. The only time people lose an inch plus is from surgery or some freak strain on their backs/spine. This losing height is bs until men are in their mid 70s. I have pics of my dad and he is same height difference with my grandfather back then and now.

I'm not a fan of height loss arguements. I feel they get overused and are lacking in evidence. But even I will admit Hogan has lost about 2" of height. The idea that he went from 6'6" to 6'2.5" is ridiculous though. More like 6'5.5" to nearly 6'4" now.

Wrestling as a I like to think is Fixed more then fake, but wrestlers heights are 100% fake. Here is a list of a few which are true and what wrestling billed them as ......

André the Giant Real height was just over 7 foot, he was never this 7'5 that wrestling had him down as. He lost height near the end of his life which he dropped down to 6'9 to 6'10.

Kane(glenn jacobs) was billed as a 7 footer but was lucky if he tipped 6'8. to this day many say the guy in bare feet is no taller then 6'5 ??

Kurt Angle - Remember the days when WWE billed as 6'1? The time when he faced John Cena and Angle looked 3 inches shorter but the WWE had Cena an inch taller lol, Angle was never taller then 5'10 but is looking close to 5'9 ?

Rey Mysterio, has been billed 5'7 - 5'6 but is 5'3''
Shantal said on 28/Nov/10
Looking at his boots, he can't be taller than 180cm. And he is probably shorter than that.

Red...the last pic you have, Bret isn't doing shoulders back military posture either like Alex in the pics and he could still be bending some holding the belt most likely. Good example but I wouldn't say on the nose! It'd be right an even 6 feet if Bret straightens up!

I always got Bret at 6'0.25"...not really far off from what you guys have him at. I have Savage at a dead even 6'0", given a 5.5" height disadvantage with Hogan. Bret comes slightly taller than Savage.

Met Bret. He was 5'11".
Met Davey Boy. He was 5'9"
I'm 5'9.5"-5'10", so I'm a good height for judging them both.

I met the bulldog a few times in the mid 90's and he really never looked 5'9.. He never seemed that short at all, i thought he looked nearly 6ft..i got 2 photos with him and he his posture was really bad, he had his arm around my shoulder on one side and my friend who was 5'8 on the other side, he was definetly taller then my 5'8 friend.. Going on meeting him and the pics i'd probably say 5'10 min... Not a lift wearer, he never seemed bothered about height.
This was may 1994, if you recall the shape he was in when he jumped into the cage match between owen and bret, thats what he looked like here...Massive and ripped... 5'10 and 260 lbs and really good to all the fans.. Ill try and dig the polaroid out and post it up on here...
Mamun said on 31/May/09
Yes my friend RED the possibilty to what you are saying is very much there !
But I have seen other pictures of Bulldog and Bret where the difference is
more than what I see here . Also he wasn't that much taller than Owen Hart !

My friend T , even celebs cry out for help a lot of times and thats how I ,

hope you beleive me ?

You have ALL seen pics of me on this site. I have nothing to hide. I am a strong 5'9.5". I have MET Bret Hart in 2001-2002. I have met Davey Boy in 1995. I have met Jake Roberts in 1990 and Iron Sheik that same year.

Bret was MAX 5'11" when I met him in Calgary. He was slightly taller than me. He was NOT a full 6'0".
Davey was MAX 5'9" when I met him in Montreal. He felt to be slightly shorter than me.
Jake was 6'5" when I met him in Montreal at the hilton hotel. Had inches on my 6'2" step father at the time.
Iron Sheik was short, but then again, so was I when I met him (I was MAX 5'5" at that time).

I got the chance to meet Bret at a book signing yesterday. He was LOVELY, but I didn't get the chance to guess his height since he was sat down the whole time.

He looks 6'0" to me, at least at his peak. Bulldog never looked under 5'10" to me either, but Danimal seems pretty insistent that he was 5'9".

i believe bulldog was a solid 5'10 and no evidence so far here has proved otherwise, he was 3 inches taller than gene in gym shoes in 1987, taller than ozzy osbourne in 1986 at WM2 and no more than 2 inches shorter than vince in 1995

yet with vince mcmahon and several others,Bulldog was always in his wrestling boots or big boots...i've never seen footage of the man in casuals...BUT he looked the same height as 5'9.5 chris jericho at owen hart's funeral. the pic is in jericho's book.

i believe bulldog was a solid 5'10 and no evidence so far here has proved otherwise, he was 3 inches taller than gene in gym shoes in 1987, taller than ozzy osbourne in 1986 at WM2 and no more than 2 inches shorter than vince in 1995
TELLEM said on 29/Mar/09
bulldog most likely had lifts in his wrestling boots...he looked to have 2 solid inches over 5'8.5 owen hart.
Danimal said on 25/Mar/09
Red, why are you overbilling Dynamite Kid. He was only billed at 5'8" and that was his MAX height, yet you give him 5'8.5". I have met Bret. I met Davey Boy Smith and he was NOT over 5'9".
Red said on 25/Mar/09
Stop this nonsense, Shawn was never taller than Bret!!! Look at the Shawn Michaels page

Savage was NOT 6 foot tall !

I have to give savage 6'1.. I remember him onthe uk kids tv sshow going live back in 1992 and host sarah green comented on him being a really big guy... she wouldnt say that if he was 5'11.
He had really bad possture, always stood with his legs really bent at the kness and shoulders hunched up.
savage never stood at his full height.

Does anybody have any idea how tall Randy Savage is? He was billed at 6'2'' in the WWF but I doubt he was over 6'. If you search 'you gotta be bold to wear the gold' at youtube (can't get the link to work) he certainly doesn't look taller than Bret.

i personally think bret hart was no more than 5'11 at his peak...i was checking out the pics in his autobiography and he sure looked MUCH shorter than roddy piper..piper had about two inches on him..shawn michaels (6'0 peak) had an inch over him...he looked just about the same height as 5'10ish jim neidhart...i really think hart would wear lifts in the ring on certain occasions.
Bouncer said on 5/Feb/09
5'10-5'11 sounds accurate for Bret, i think 6'0 is a little too tall for him.

ill thicken the irony, i remember when austin and hitman were feuding in the mid 90's, they got nose to nose in the middle of the ring befor one of their matches and were practically the exzact same height, which would mean that either brett is taller than 5'11-6 ft range, or that austin is shorter than 6'1-6'2 range.

Bret - 5'11"
Austin - 6'0"

Do you realize in most situations, when a person is 2" shorter than another that puts the shorter person's eye level just below the taller person's nostrils?

I'm beginning to see why you saw 2"+ in the RR video.

I just cant see Bret being any more then 5'11. I met Davey boy a couple of times in the mid 90's and i'd say he was 5'10. Bret never looked 6ft.
I always thought Piper, hbk, Bret, flair, bulldog and a few others where all under 6ft with austin and a few other guys just over 6ft.

Piper was easly over 6
Danimal said on 29/Dec/08
Piper was over 6'0" in the 1980's. The man underwent MAJOR back surgery and an entire hip replacement in the 1990's. He lost some serious height, as did Hogan and Superstar Billy Graham. IMO those men lost the most height for their age.

None of that is true. Bret Hart looked at times to be barely taller than Mean Gene in the mid 80's WWF interviews and YES, he WAS billed at 5'11" in the 1980's in the WWF and so was SHAWN MICHEALS and so was DAVEY BOY SMITH. When the British Bulldog made his debut into wrestling he was billed at 5'9" and Dynamite Kid at 5'8". These are ALL their ACCURATE heights.

I had a beer with Bret in downtown Calgary. This was exactly 7 years ago. I was visiting an ex-girlfriend of mine at the time who lived in Calgary. Bret was a nice guy. I stood up after our beer and shook his hand. He didn't feel taller than me. He was around 5'11". Owen was 5'8"-5'9". Bulldog I met in 1995 in Montreal, when I was in grade 11. He was about an inch shorter than me. So, MAX 5'9" for him. I met Jake The Snake Roberts with my step dad the summer of 1990. Jake was in town for a match at the old Montreal Forum. My step father and I met him backstage and he signed an autograph for me telling me to believe in myself. My step dad WAS exactly 6'1 3/4" at that time (he was only 38 then) and Jake was between 6'4"-6'5" easily. My step dad later told me that he felt short next to Jake. I also met Iron Sheik when I was in grade 7 or 8. He came to my school in Montreal. I couldn't gauge his height, because I had yet to go through my growth spurt. I was only around 5'0" at that time.

His billed height is 6ft1. The guys only 51 he could have only lost a cm in height. I could be wrong becuase he could have suffered injuries in wrestling which might have made loose a little bit of height.

His billed height USED TO BE 5'11" up until the early 1990's.

This is ridiculous, I met the hitman myself just over a month ago. I spoke to him him - he was standing straight, it was around 8pm.

If Hart is only 5'9"/5'10", keep this Click Here in mind when analyzing that Andre-Backlund pic that supposedly proves Andre was 7'0". Andre would be no more than 6'9". IMO, Hart is around 5'11", maybe a bit taller, but no more than 6'0".

the man was a peak 6 footer if straight and in peak, no doubt.... besides hes clearly not bothered by what people think of his height from the pic with glenn, so i would reallx doubt if hes under his own 6ft claim.... usually non legit 6 footers (who claim it) stand uber straight at all times.... besides, even now, if bret was to stand straight id say easy 6ft.

6ft flat today

You got this one wrong Rob. Bre was billed at 5'11" throughout the 1970's and 1980's and only got his 6'1" billing when he started making a name for himself. Met the man in Calgary almost 7 years ago and had MAX 1" on me. We spoke for a long time. 5'10.5"-5'11" MAX.

Vegas, nice pix - that was obviously the same show (either that or his uses the same runners and tshirt). Red, I am somewhat Obsessed With Heights so I am extremely accurate hence messaging myself at 181.5cm - I have a picture with him when he was sitting down signing autographs but non standing up as I only got to talk to him for about ten seconds as he was getting dragged away by security. Brets posture was fine as he stretched his back and stood up straight. He is definitely 6ft tall.

I think his height usually confuses my like back in the WWF Bret Hart must of been 6'0" but maybe in 1997 he was billed at 6'1" then when he went on WCW he was taller than Ric Flair on the 1st episode of Thunder. And close to his retirement he was billed at 6'0".

The thing is Bret was billed at 5'11" prior to winning the WWE title in 1992. It was after that where he was billed at 6'1".

At about the 5:07 minute mark you'll see Stone Cold and Bret go faces to face and they are about the same height you could make a case that Bret is actually a little taller than him there. I believe this was before Austin had his neck problems or knee surgeries so he was at his peak height. Judging by this I dont see how Bret Hart was lower than 6ft maybe 5'11.5 at the least at this time.
