Can't be 6'4" not even close. 6-7 inches taller than Mamun who is 5'8".
So he is somewhere in the 6'2" range.

Google lists him at 1.98m, what a joke. I think the editor did a few typos, should be 185
Alexander said on 25/Mar/16
Back in 2005 I was close friends with Batista's gym instructor, the guy knew everything about Dave. This is from his mouth: "In the ring Dave wears 2 1/2 boot soles, and has shoulders as wide as 2 doorways, with such wide shoulders and a couple extra inches on his feet this allows him to exaggerate the look of quite a few more inches to his height".
Sam SL said on 16/Mar/16
Looks shorter than Pratt in Guardians of the Galaxy and no taller than him in all the media photos.
Kale said on 15/Mar/16
6'1 - Look at the picture of him with MMA fighters Jake Shields (5'11) And Nick Diaz (6'0) Also 6'2 RZA looks to have an inch on him.
In his prime lets give him 188-190 cm in his bootlifts, flat supposedly 6'-6'1; look at his body proportions, his torso to leg proportion is of an average joe, while his torso is obviously not very long, hence he makes up for this with his long neck. If he had the same torso he has with the legs or Orton, he'd likely be in the 6'3-6'4 range.
Alex said on 13/Mar/16
Nope, he's not 193 cm, Orton is a bit taller than him, around 2-3 cm. 190 cm is good for Batista.
Average Joe said on 8/Mar/16
LOL.....you guys make me laugh! This guy is most definitely not a small guy by no means! I met him at a WWE event, and he was quite a bit taller than me. I'm exactly 6'0 barefoot, precisely! Dave Batista had to be minimum 6'3 plus! My guess is right at 6'4. I have met many other WWE Wrestlers. As I stated, I'm 6'0 precisely barefoot, 6'1 in most of my footware.
I was probably an inch taller than Steve Austin. I had about an inch on John Cena. Randy Orton was close by, but I couldn't get that close to him. He looked around 6'4 or so? Kane walked right by me, and I couldn't even begin to guess that guy! Let's just say he's huge! Definitely up there in the 6'8 plus range! The Big Show was the biggest I've met. I would guess he's around 7'0? Give or take? These guys are a lot bigger than what they look on television.
wwf said on 24/Feb/16
@The Ben the ringside ground level for audience is lower than the ground that the wrestlers are on ... You can even tell since there is a pretty thick mat covering that area as well. Yes, WWE does everything they can to make wrestlers look bigger: ground level, lighting, camera angles, etc. WWF does twice as more
The Ben said on 21/Feb/16
I was ringside in 05 and would have said 6'5 for Batista, he must have had some HUGE lifts.
He has terrible posture, stood straight I could see 6'3. As for his normal stance I'd say 6'2.
He looks way smaller these days, I was surprised when he weighed a genuine 265 for his MMA fight. He must have been 280+ in WWE.
In an interview with muscle and fitness h appear said he diets down to 250 but couldn't get any lower, he's a monster if a man.
KPS said on 20/Feb/16
Well Danial Craig is 5' 10" and Batista looked like he had maybe 3 inches on him, so I'd say he's around 6'1" maybe 6'2". The WWF always throw an extra a few on their wrestlers (you have nothing to measure them against in the ring)
Hogan was always meant to be 6'7" but now is clearly nearer 6'2" - 6'4" at best (apparently ops have taken 3-5 inches off him... Yeah)

Batista looks over 6'5 compared to alex
rikki said on 12/Feb/16
You can even tell by the length of his arms that he is nowhere near 6'5 ... Though his arms are massive you can still tell, its really easy. Though people have different proportions a 6'5 guy nonetheless would have "above the norm" long limbs. His proportions are equivalent to a 6' - 6'1 guy
Vegas said on 10/Feb/16

Mamun was slightly a shorter 5'8 then Rob but a 5'8 non-the-less; he would be over 5'8 at some point in the day but could drop below 5'8. Batista was around 6'1 compared to him.

191 cm peak, and 189 cm today. While I believe he has lost some height over the years, it can't be over 2 cms.

Rob, i think this might need a peak height. After working in the ring for over a decade and has gone through quite a bit of injuries, there is no doubt he could probably lose a bit of height. He definitely could look 6ft 2 flat nowadays.
Laami said on 20/Jan/16
@BobbyCrush do you do squats, leg presses, deadlifts, etc, and take a beating in the ring, for well over a decade? C'mon this guy probably lost at least an inch or so

Dave Bautista came into a store I managed back in early 2006. Super awesome guy. I'm 5'11", almost 6', and Bautista was basically my height. I'd give him an inch or so, putting at 6'1" tops. He is and was almost as wide at the shoulders as he is tall. Good grief he's a big guy.

Doesn't look more than 6'1/185 cm with the 'Spectre' cast. Definitely not 6ft 2.75 or 6ft 3. Here with John Cena he looks a TINY bit taller, wearing 1 - 2' taller boots/heels than Cena.

@Alex 6'0 wrestling boots can easily bring you from 6' to 6'3. As they have calf/ankle coverers so the wearer won't trip like women's unsupported heels.
Craiglist said on 9/Nov/15
@./ I thought you were making a bad judgement, but when I thought about it you are correct. Look at Batista's mma fight, he looks very short compared to his other appearances. Wrestling boots definitly give a few inches for certain.
./ said on 9/Nov/15
@Gianni Rory Kinnear, like any celeb, likely also buffed his height up a bit. He doesn't look 183 but could possibly be. Just take Batista as 183cm in sneakers, wrestling boots 185-190cm.
Charlie said on 8/Nov/15
No its not possible, look closer, he is standing slightly behind, not as strait and still is 3+ cm taller. So 190 is more likely.
Alex 6'0 said on 7/Nov/15
Never looked more than 6'3 tops with 6'4 Orton back then. Looked more 6'2.5 range. Today prob closer to 6'2 flat

So 185cm for Batista could be possible.
Mass said on 3/Nov/15
@Rampage(-_-_-)Clover not only lifts but they also use camera tricks, just like in WWE.
It is easy to tell, when wrestlers are walking to the ring, they look much shorter. The moment they step in the ring they seem like 12cm taller.
A man said on 2/Nov/15
It always made me laugh back in the Evolution days that Batista was billed at 6,6" and Randy Orton 6,4", despite Orton clearly being taller.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Nov/15
He looks gigantic in Spectre but probably in lifts to dwarf Craig and to have that classic towering Bond henchman look
./ said on 2/Nov/15
@Gianni he looks under 185cm actually, due to his big boot heels giving him a bit of height. And if anyone had higher ground level on that mountain slope, it would be Batista.
Gianni said on 28/Oct/15
Google "Dave Batista Daniel Craig". If it's true that Daniel Craig is 178cm tall (as it is listed here) then David Batista looks like 185 cm max. in the pics with the whole Bond Crew or with Daniel Craig and Lea Seydoux in the Austrian mountains.

PLB said on 7/Sep/15
One of the commenters here (Wiki_109) said that people don't shrink more that one inch. Wrong.
When I was a teen I was 6'3.5", I was always unhappy that I wasn't taller. But I continued to slowly grow in my early twenties until I reached 6'4". That's barefoot of course.
I stayed that height all my life. In fact I measured myself just before the accident and I was still exactly 6'4". I was 65 that day. I fell off a cliff at the beach. I was stuck in a chair for about a year. When I could finally get up and walk around I was only about 6'2.5".
It wasn't a big cliff and I fell onto sand but my back was a little too old for that kind of thing. I think this sort of fall is similar to what these pro wrestlers endure. I weight nearly 300 lbs. That much mass dropping onto the floor or the ground can cause damage, even if you fall 'right'.
Pro wrestlers are by their profession bulky guys. They may start out as lean and tall like Orton but drop them on the canvas a few hundred times and they tend to get compressed.
BTW I just saw 'Guardians of the Universe' last night, Battista has another career after wrestling.

Hogan is looking 6'3.5 there but he's not that tall today. 6'3 tops for Hogan today. He hasn't been 6'4 since the early 2000s. His peak was anywhere from 6'5-6'6. I can't say how tall exactly but its within that range

184.3cm (Night) said on 24/Aug/15
Hmm on second thought he HHH looks 6'2 on that second pic but he has maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch more footwear. So unless Orton is over 6'4 he is 6'1.75" max. HHH needs a downgrade.
Batista does look his listing there though.
Height183 said on 24/Aug/15
@Alex 6'0'': I think I posted those ''Wrestlemania 30'' pictures back in 2014
We went through them last year.
The only reason Batista is looking 6'3'' there is because, those pictures are not showing most of the real height differences at all.
There is no way Hogan and Orton are around the same height. I remember back in 2006 Randy almost having close to 2 inches on Hogan. That's what it looked like.
By the way I kind of agree with all of your height listings, except for Rollins maybe Lol
I actually think he is more 6'0.5'' than a legit 6'1''. His height comes from those munster type custom wrestling boots.
Alex 6'0 said on 23/Aug/15
Batista is a 6'2 range guy today. His peak slightly more but in that pic with HHH and Orton he looks more like 6'3 lol

6'4 Orton next to a 6'2 Triple H ( He looked about 6'3 in that first pic but had a big heel.) Next to a 6'0.5 Cena. Hogan looks 6'4 there as well but most likely has more footwear than Orton. Should repost this on the Hogan page for the 6'2 believers.

Good pics guys. Orton 6'4. HHH 6'1-6'1.5 and Cena 6'0 there. Interesting Batista looks 6'3 there with HHH and Orton lol
Rollins looks more 6'0 range with Orton there but Orton has his head titled up adding bit of height. Rollins usually looks anywhere in the 6'0.5-6'1 range

He was never as tall as Orton, he was just once 'closer' to Orton's height, since back in the days he wore lifts, nowdays he doesn't, so it seems like he shrank, but people don't shrink more than 1 inch, especially only 46 years old!
Maxy said on 5/Jun/15
@Rodger JR I agree 100%, seen his mma fight? Looks nothing near to 190cm, since he is barefoot,. But in WWE he looks easily 190cm, since he wears boot lifts, which can easily give 5-8cm without any trouble.
Rodger JR said on 5/Jun/15
190 cm is Batista's height in his wrestling boots/shoe lifts ... Barefoot he is much shorter.

Batista is 6' on the mark flat, look at him in his UFC debut, same height as the 6ft octagon fence.

Batista is the same height as Dwayne Johnson, comparing both to Randy Orton. Dwayne Johnson is 6'1 ... (Charles Barkley 4 inches taller, at 6'5)
Makes Batista 6'1 also, but looks taller at times due to camera tricks and boot lifts.

Batista is one of those already tall guys who could look taller being huge and lean at the same time. Well today he's not as big as he was once but at his peak he was huge and gave a taller impression.

In his auto biography book. Batista mentioned that when he was in junior year in high school. He was 6'2 when he was in senior year. He was 6' 5. Maybe batista was a good 6' 5 at his peak at young age, he looked 6' 5 when he made his debut in 2002. He started looking smaller after 2003 when he had surgery in mid 2003. He looked more like 6' 4". when batista had injuries and surgery in 2006 of torn tricep .He started to loose height. He would be more like 6' 2.5" to 6' 3". He would also appear to be looking shorter than randy orton, during his evolution days he would look the same height as randy orton who is a solid 6' 4 or weak 6' 5. Due to hunching posture recent these years he would loose height. Nowadays he is no more than 6' 1.5"
He was never 6'5". Maybe 6'3" right out of bed, but nothing over that, today, or 13 years ago.

Alex 6'0 said on 22/Jan/15
Orton always looked to have between 1 and 2 inches on Batista back then so yea 6'2.5 for Batista is good. Being tall and so jacked it could make him appear even taller that's why on TV he could pass 6'4 or more
Height183 said on 18/Jan/15
Alex, Orton always had 2 inches on Batista. If Batista was 6'3'' Orton would've had to be 6'5''. I think 6'4'' for Orton is enough. I think Batista was a good 6'2.5'' in his peak. Cena is also dropping height in that picture, not just Batista.
Alex 6'0 said on 16/Jan/15
That's a good pic of Batista and Cena from in their early days in WWE as both came in 2002. Looks at least 2 inches possibly 2.5 inches. Batista does seem to be leaning in slightly so maybe nearer 6'3 there? 6'2.5-6'3 peak and today at 46 maybe 1/2 inch less.
Height183 said on 13/Jan/15
He looks a Solid 6'2'' here with Cena, maybe even 6'2.5''..

You know it wouldn't surprise me if Dave has lost some height like HHH. Dave is about 46 years old now. He still looks no lower than 6'2'' to me today. Maybe he was a little more taller like 10 years ago.

Obviously never near 6'5-6'6 billing. I use to think 6'3 peak but with Orton back then he looked maybe 6'3 tops. Prob more 6'2.5 but today looks more 6'2 flat so 1/2 inch lost at his age seems right. Still a pretty big guy today even after losing plenty of weight but not the monster he once was.

He looks about on par with Pratt in GOTG, has clearly lost a great deal of height over the last 10 years or so, still a decent 6ft 2 - 6ft 3 guy and looks huge on film.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 28/Oct/14
Somewhere between 190-191cm is a fair range. No more than 1in shorter than Randy Orton (solid 6ft4) and has about 1in on Triple H (solid 6ft2). You think 6ft5 is a bad listing. He was listed 6ft7 in WCW!
184.3cm said on 25/Oct/14
Just watched a film with Dave called 'House of the Rising Sun' and ive got to say it was surprisingly good. I expected a john cena type movie but no he gave a pretty strong performance. He slouches alot and i thought he was 6'2 flat but he has an easy 2 inches on the antagonist (guy from blade, prison break)who Rob has here listed at 6'1 so a weak 6'3 seems reasonable.
Aza said on 12/Oct/14
Batista is at least two inches shorter than Orton so if Orton is 6'4 (which is very believable) then Batista is 6'2 evening height. This is still a great height to be.
vipul said on 6/Oct/14
i don't think he is so short.
Back in his feud with undertaker, he looked only 2-3 inch shorter than him.
taker was a legit 6'8" then, & consider that his shoes can't have more than 1" on taker's shoes, so he could not be less than 6'4 , but for now, he's lost lot of height, & is not standing straight, plus the shoe difference makes him look shorter.
Also, he has lost much mass, making him look smaller. Orton is definitely above 6'4" , & stands pretty much to his full height , also 2.5" boots.
rick said on 3/Oct/14
My fellow cop and friend told me he saw Batista in person at the gym and that he's no more than 5'8. My buddy is 6'4. I obviously don't believe my fellow cop, but from my observation, Batista appears to be around 6'2. I base this on his mma fight where he was about 3 inches shorter than referee, Dan Mirogliotta, who is 6'4 and was wearing shoes while Batista was Barefoot.

I thought Batista and Pratt can look similar but Batista has him by a hair, more noticeable in the movie than in photos. But if Lee Pace is 6'3.75", there's no way Batista is over 6'2"-6'2.25" range since Pace has at least 1.5 inches on him.

Alex 6'0 said on 12/Sep/14
Probably always in the 6'2-6'2.5 range. Today perhaps a small fraction less at 45 years old. He always had a huge muscular build on a lean frame which can give a taller impression especially on TV. Back with Evolution 6'4 Orton always seemed to have over an inch on Batista. Batista was also a little taller than HHH back then too.
Sam said on 8/Sep/14
He does look close to his listing in Guardians of the Galaxy, maybe closer to 6'2.5" than 6'2.75" though.

I think fully stretched out Batista can look close to 6'3 on occasion, but in reality he's a very solid 6'2.5.
A Batista/Rock staredown would be very interesting, I think Rock would have the edge but it would be incredibly close.

They would bill Batista at 6'5-6'6 and Orton at 6'4-6'5 when Orton was clearly taller. That's the problem with some billed heights. Gotta bill the wrestlers evenly Lol. Orton at 6'4 really puts Batista more like 6'2.5
Sam said on 28/Jul/14

avalanste said on 14/Jul/14
i saw him in Singapore few days back, think was the promotion for Guardians of the Galaxy, he doesn't really look as tall as i would expect him to be, prolly around 6'1-6'2 (I'm about 5'10), definitely not 6'3, but he's pretty well-built, solid figure.
Alex 6'0 said on 28/Jun/14
Batista could have lost a fraction. Its possible. He's never looked over 6'3 anyway. His weight is much less nowadays too. I remember when he had left WWE back in 08/09 he was still massive but not quite as big as his earlier days in WWF 02-05. Batista is still a pretty big guy today but a good difference from what he was.

MJ said on 6/Jun/14
Batista was billed at 6'7( with one person on you tube saying that he was 6'8, which I do not think can be true, but anything is possible). JR used to say "Batista 6'6 maybe 6'7" on different occasions(the 6'6 part, but don't about the 6'7 part).
I have also seen WWE billing the undertaker at 6'8 or around and then later billing him at 6'10. I wonder why they do that- bill someone at some height and then reduce it and later increase it.
AKK said on 30/May/14
Just saw the episode of WWE Vintage with Evolution. Holy crap did Orton tower over everyone. Triple H was saying Batista was 6'5" and 325 pounds(to be fair, HHH seemed to be stooping a little, and Batista did look legitimately taller than him by a couple inches). But then they switched to the hard cam for the group pose with their arms raised, and Orton looked almost a whole foot taller than Flair(though admittedly, his hair was way poofier back then).
VM said on 30/May/14
Batista is taller than Sheamus with his hair(as proof in a 2009/2010 video) You could check it yourself if you want Rikashiku. Also, Randy Orton suffers from hyper mobility so he might look taller than he really is I guess.
@ Aaron: People are taller than they are?Also, tell me why you think it isn't? How do you know that HHH is not 6'4. Professionals and trainers associated with this have said that the height difference between Batista and Kane is 4 inches. Kane is definitely at least 6'9. Also, the hunch concept and when people gain weight they look shorter should also be considered. Extra weight can result in Spinal cord compression, which I think many of the wrestlers have faced it(including HHH). It is mostly children who think that people are as tall as they look and no more, because they probably doesn't know about spinal cord compression and other health related conditions that can occur.
Click Here
Batista in an interview said 6'4, but years ago he said he was 6'5 and OVW billed him at 6'7 or maybe even 6'8.Also the CBA billed him at 6'8(the reason I would like to know as I don't think he is taller than 6'7).They are a professional MMA association and I would like to know how they measure people.
Note: All these are theories of mine and should only be considered as such, I request.
Rikashiku said on 23/May/14
Sheamus is pretty tall in comparison. In the few pics I can find, Sheamus(not counting hair) is clearly taller than Batista, and even with Orton, Sheamus looks about the same height.
Clay said on 7/May/14
MMA listings have been terrible as well, such as Randy Couture at a laughable 6'2.
Sam said on 30/Apr/14
Well whatever lifts Batista wore a decade ago he's clearly passed on to Orton. Batista clearly looks around an inch shorter than he did during his first WWE run. Meanwhile, Orton, at least to me; looks a little taller than he already did in years past. Triple H looks roughly the same, but I could see some height loss. He has been wearing dress shoes a lot over the past couple years instead of his wrestling boots.
Magnusver said on 28/Apr/14
Whatever his Mixed Martial Arts listing is, it's probably the most accurate. Obviously WWE exaggerates 2-3 inches, but I believe the MMA leagues actually measure the athletes' height.
Penton said on 28/Apr/14
From the previous post it clear to see Batista is not Randy Orton's height, even when he is close to the camera. Granted his head is stooping, I still do not see him a centimeter over 6ft 2 flat. What do you think Rob?

Rock and Orton both at 6'3? impossible. Orton between 1 and 2 inches on Rock. Most on this site will put Orton at a legit 6'4. He sure looks it. He's an easy inch taller than Batista too. Batista is more 6'2.5
James B said on 26/Apr/14
Orton really does not look a legit 6'4 but he does look 6'3 1/2 or 6'3 flat. Batista looks 6'2 or 6'2 1/2 and I would say more recently the rock looks 6'3 but did look 6'2 a few years back when he was more bulky.
Alex 6ft 0 said on 15/Apr/14
Orton I think is a legit 6'4. He's always at least an inch taller than Batista and likely its a little more. He looks to have a good 2 inches on HHH which puts HHH 6'2 max and Batista likely is 6'2.5 same as The Rock.

Rikashiku said on 10/Apr/14
6'2.5" is the lowest I'd put Batista at. Don't compare him to Orton so much. Ortons boots are pretty thick compared to others. The most I've seen between them is 2".
Orton looked about the same height(or slightly shorter) as Jake the Snake who could be a slight over 6'4". Next to 6'4" DDP in older pics with Scott Hall, Jake is taller than both by an inch. Maybe Jake is was 6'5" back then? Looking at old pics and new pics, he does look a little shorter(and lighter).
So, how about Orton is a little more than 6'4"? Batista can't be 6'1" or 6'0" like a lot of people are assuming here, just because he's so-in-so shorter than Orton. he is taller than 6'1"-6'2" Benicio.
Alex 6ft 0 said on 9/Apr/14
With Orton at 6'4 Batista would be nearer 6'2.5 I think.
miko said on 8/Apr/14
It can look 2 inches at times but Orton could be over 6'4 himself.
Rikashiku said on 8/Apr/14
You guys are being horrible with the height estimates down there. 3" shorter than Orton? Most I saw was 2" with a guy who looks 6'4" or slightly more, and that was because Orton boots have some pretty thick soles compared to Batusta's fairly flat boots and shoes. These past few weeks, the height difference has varied from less than an inch to a clear 2".
I still say 6'2". Benicio del Toro is a fairly tall guy himself. About 6'1", listed at 6'2" on celebsheight. Lee Pace always looks really tall no matter who he's with. 6'3"-maybe near 6'4". For some reason he looks gigantic in that GotG pic. Batista definitly looks shorter now than he did in the earlier days of his career. 6'2" solid? He's shorter than Sheamus and Sheamus is taller than 6'2-6'3" Roman Reigns.
jimmy j said on 6/Apr/14
Watched WM30. Orton and Dave were face to face outside the ring during the main event. Randy towered him in my opinion, at least by 3 inches. Considering some camera angles of course,but it was obvious to say the least. Batista was 6'2 peak, i'd say dipping below 6'1 now give or take.

He looks nowhere near 6'3 with Randy Orton, or Lee Pace. He should at least be downgraded to 189, Rock is taller...

I'd say in 2014 he is 6'2" barefoot. Peak height was 6'3"

On Raw to night in the ring with Orton and Lesnar Dave looked a good inch shorter then Orton - which Orton is in the 6'3 - 6'4 mark . lets say Orton is6'3 and a half that makes dave 6'2 and a half. But man did yiu see the brown boots he was wearing given him at least inch and a half to two inches in extra height - dave bare foot has to be standing 6'1 tops with these boots he wears this pushes him up a good two inches almos. ..

This is odd, re-watching the episodes from smallville he absolutely towered over tom welling who can pull off a 6'4 but looks a good 6'3, I guess he was wearing some serious lifts

Interesting bit on observer radio today.
Dave Meltzer says he'd been around Batista loads backstage and the he was an inch shorter than Orton (6'3). He said that over the last few years Batista had lost serious height and said he now looks just over 6'1. He came off his supplements and has lost weight as well. 45 now and the height loss the seems to really effect wrestlers has kicked in.
