marella was recently arrested and booked at 225lb Click Here look how big he looks next to cousin sal who is an obese man himself Click Here lots of wrestlers have been booked at that station in the last year or so including test who was listed at 270lb there despite being billed in indie wrestling these days at 300lb (he was billed at 310lb at a show i attended in february) and Mikey from spirit squad who is billed at 230lb in wrestling but booked at just 215lb Click Here
Marella is also listed there at 5'11 which he ain't either. Austin had him by like 2 or 3 inches. Marella is billed at 227 lbs and Carlito at 220 lbs (to me Carlito looks to be the bigger of the two).
Marella is also not a very muscular guy either. He's not skinny or anything, but he's not that big either. You think Marella weighs more than Arnold Schwarzenegger did in Terminator 2? He claimed a weight of 220 lbs on the set of Terminator 2.

Dan, swedish strongman guy magnus samuelsson was a legit 320-330 lbs guy and he is way bigger than hogan ever was. he is also bigger than kane (not taller but heavier)
and the 280 lbs fralic didnt look smaller than studd imo
Actually, you better dig up some old school pics of Hogan then, if you think Samuelsson was way bigger than Hogan, because Hogan from 1978-1987 was one HUGE MOFO and was averaging 305-310 until about 1986. Watch Hulkamania 1 and you'll see how huge he was and btw, John Studd had an easy 40-50 pounds on Fralic. Everyone sees that but you.

Atoadaso is right, I have known guys in my gym around 6'4 = 6'5 and most are around 260 lbs and dont anywhere near hogans size in sheer bulk. They look alot leaner and thinner. Wrestlers weights are no where near as important as their heights, especially the average to larger wrestler, who really cares if they are 240 or 250 lbs? WWE had no real reason to over bill wrestlers weights as no one really cares. Hogan was easily 300lbs which is not alot for someone his size, samuelsson was around 330lbs minimum and isnt way bigger than hogan, maybe slightly larger.
You got to realise a guy with legit 23 or 24 inch arms (hogans have been measured at that) has to have a A LOT of bulk on the rest of their body.

@ Big Show, Mark Henry and Big Show are weighing what they are billed. Kane and Khali are pretty close. It`s not always the case, but in Hogan`s case, it is. I always wondered why they billed him as just 294 at WM3. I think Hogan was probably 275 at that time.

John Studd was billed at 6'11 388 at one time. Obviously 6'6 +/- 325 +/- was more the deal. He had his hands full with 6'5 280 Fralic.

Hogan could easily be 300 pounds. I'm 6'5" and 240, and i'm not especially big at that height. Hogan is significantly bigger than I am. He is (was) one big, thick dude.

Steve if you really believe that a BILLED 303 lbs wrestler weighed 300 then its your problem! If hogan was even CLOSE to 300 lbs irl then he would have been listed as 350 to say atleast
Not always, WWE actually arnet that far of with Weight, its the Height they inflate.
9 out of 10 times the weight gets inflated more than height. Some examples
Edge: billed at 250 lbs (yeah right)
Gregory Helms: billed at 215 lbs
Jeff Hardy: billed at 225 lbs
John Morrison: billed at 219 lbs
Santino Marella: billed at 227 lbs
CM Punk: billed at 222 lbs
Chris Jericho: billed at 226 lbs
None of these guys are even close to the weights they are billed at.

Hogan was 6'5+ maybe 6'5.5 and logically/normally rounded up to 6'6. Just like now he is 6'3+ maybe 6'3.5 and would round up to 6'4. Most guys who are just over a certain height are going to round up to the next inch. I just can't go up to a legit barefoot 6'6 for Hogan because he was just to much shorter than a weatherd 6'7-6'8 NFL legit Ben Davidson. But he was in the neighborhood and was no less than a solid 6'5. Davidson was put at 6'8 about 75% of the time and 6'7 about 25% of the time which means he was a big 6'7, probably 6'7.75 and after being retired for about 12+ years could have easily been down to about 6'7.5 Davidson had a clear cut 2 inches on Hogan, no less.

Ola your are mistaking muscle and size for weight,Arnold Schwarzenegger was every bit as big in size as Batista in the 1970s in fact his arms and chest were Bigger,22''and 58'',but his top weight was only 255lbs.It,s bulk that makes you heavy,muscle and fat,If Arnold had bulk up say take he's fat up to 15+% he would have been 300lbs,and if you want to see what that looks like look at the WCW fights of 6'2.5'' 335lbs Bill Kazmaier.

Here's a pic of Hogan & Snoop Dogg from 2007.
Click Here
Both have a slight lean, but Hogan looks to be leaning a little bit more. Not sure about Snoop Dogg's footwear there, but Hogan is in sneakers.
Does anyone have any good pics of Hogan & Inoki from 2007. I saw some on that photodatabase beginning with a W, but they're too small to make any judgments on their height difference.

Danimal i dont buy those weight claims in hogans book. he never looked above 300 just compare him to batista, hogan had thin legs and he wasnt big as batista at the shoulders either. batista at his heaviest was easly 20 lbs heavier than hogan at his heaviest - if not more.
Alex no way, bundy wasnt even close to any 6'4! MAYBE 6'2 1/2 - 3/4
Wrong.
LOL

Danimal,
I'm just saying Ventura might have actually been closer to 6'2. I remember an interview segment where Zeus almost towered him and Zeus was 6'6 max.
Monsoon could have been close to 6'5 in his early years, but in the 80s he was shorter than Bundy who I believe was max 6'4.. Monsoon also seemed to have 4-5 inches on Bobby Heenan who was 5'10 I believe.

GHOST, if Jesse was wearing his infamous high heels and yet was STILL the same height as Monsoon and you give 6'3" for Jesse barefoot, what does that make Monsoon? Minimum 6'4" and imo closer to 6'5" peak, seeing he had AT LEAST 2" on Muhammed Ali in the 1970's.

IT is stated in Hogan's own book that when he first got involved in wrestling in 1975 he weighed 230 pounds soaking wet and the following year one of his old friends saw him and said "what happended Terry?". He supposedly went up to 295 pounds in a year and then continued to gain weight and hovered between 320-330 pounds until he left the WWF to wrestle in Japan. Upon his return (1983) he was down to 305-310 pounds and maintained that weight until the late 80's.

WRONG. Hogan had 2" on Ventura in 1981-1982 (it's on youtube). Ventura was NO LESS than 6'3". Monsoon was minimum 6'4", seeing Jesse was the same height as Monsoon when in HEELS and King Kong Bundy was 6'4". SO THERE!!!!
Oh, please... WRONG!!! Please try to act your age.
Hogan 2 inches shorter than Ventura? Why not. Hogan 6'5 and Ventura 6'3 MAX.
Vader was in my view around 6'2-6'2,5, since he looked no taller than Mark Henry and Monsoon was the same height as him in the 90s. He could have been 6'3 in the 80s but no more and he was also shorter than Bundy.

Hulk Hogans weight was easily true, who ever questions Hulks weight whether in prime or out needs to go back to school. 303lbs for Hogan in his prime is not that much for a guy who was around 6'5 and had the bulk he has. I'm 6'2 and about 260lbs and I can tell you I look alot smaller than Hogan. He had a lot of muscle as well as fat covering it. He was no bodybuilder who was ripped to shreds with little bodyfat.

Jesse Ventura certainly wasn't 6'4. He wore big boots and was no taller than Gorilla Monsoon who was max 6'3 in his older days (he was shorter than King Kong Bundy and same height as Vader who was probably under 6'3, since he looked very close in height with Mark Henry.)
And Big John Studd is now 6'7 minimum? More like 6'6 max. He was no taller than OMG. Explain his staredown with Bill Fralic.

Alex you have to take in consideration that Ola thought the 6'3" Will Ferrell is 5'11". Ola you need pay attention to what I said. I said Godfather is no less then 6'4". I cant even buy 6'3.5". Minimum 6'4" max 6'5". you said he is 4" smaller then Taker. Taker=6'8"-4" = 6'4". as far as you saying the footwear advantage I watched the match between Taker and Shango and I would say Taker had soles that were 1" and Shango had 2" soles. in the pic Taker looks to be 3" taller and Shango barefoot would be 4" shorter. also Shango was bald. he would look even taller if he was the Godfather with the braids. so I say Shango is a strong 6'4". its funny on WWF TV back in the day. the announcers had Shango at 6'8" 330( we all know that Wrestling and Sports exaggerate on heights) and then in Sega Genesis Royal Rumble video game he was listed at 6'5" 330. which is believable. same thing with Kane being listed at 7' on tv and magazines and then in the video game WWF Warzone he was listed at 6'9"

All this talk about guys having 2" footwear advantage IN the ring is rubbish.
The average guy wrestling will have about 1.5" of heel. I seriously doubt any of these guys would walk around let alone wrestle in 3.5" heels.
The absolute maximum a wrestler could have in footwear advantage is an inch, otherwise there would be a lot of broken ankles.

Hogans could bench 550 legit, believe it or not, he was a very big and strong guy in his prime, full of juice obviously. I have a friend in the states who use to train in a gym hogan went to a few times, this was back in the mid 1980s. He told me that he saw hogan bench 550 for a 'few reps' i dont know how many that is.
I believe my friend as he isnt into heights/strength or any records.

I know NBA player Ben Wallace maxed out at 420, so Hogan had to have been able to do more than that. He bodyslammed Andre the Giant in 1987, who was a good 500 pounds at that point. The 555 may have been exaggerated, but I can believe he was able to do 500 for at least a few reps.

Danimal, do you think Hogan could have been a little over 6'6" prime? Like 6'6.5-6'6.75" since he WAS taller than tenta.
I think he could have been as high as 6'6 1/4". The way I see it, is that Hilbilly Jim was slightly taller than 6'5 3/4" Tenta (on Hibilly's website) and Hogan was about an inch taller than Hilbilly Jim in the 80's, so NO WAY was Hogan only as low as 6'5" in the 1980's. It is just not logical. Today, Hogan is lucky if he is 6'3"-6'3.5" today (compared to how he measures up to Hilbilly Jim in 2004-2005 (again on Hilbilly's website).
Thanks Dan, ill check that out ;)

Hogan had dropped below 6"5 when he fought Warrior, and was 6"4.5, and was still 2.5 - 3" taller than him, which put's Warrior at 6"1.5-6"1.75, which he was at the time.
It's fairly obvious, and I will never claim Hogan was over 6"6 (more likely a 6"5 guy), then again, it's fairly ridiculous to start claiming he was under 6"4 at his peak.
If Hogan was 6"3, he could have not looked 2" shorter than 6"7 Sid Eudy and 6"7.5+ Undertaker! It's impossible gain anything more than 1/2 an inch on others whilst wrestling, so footwear advantage was tiny. (Remember, the other guy's in the ring are wearing boots too!)

So really, Hogan had just under an inch on Hilbilly at his peak, and Hilbilly was over 6"5 - of course Hogan possibly had footwear advantage, but then again Hilbilly was never barefoot himself - so at most Hogan would have had 0.5" advantage under his feet.
Hogan was taller than Hilbilly at his peak, but whether it was a 1/4 an inch or more I'm not sure.
I do think Hogan was closer to 6"6 than to 6"4 at his tallest.

Danimal, do you think Hogan could have been a little over 6'6" prime? Like 6'6.5-6'6.75" since he WAS taller than tenta.
I think he could have been as high as 6'6 1/4". The way I see it, is that Hilbilly Jim was slightly taller than 6'5 3/4" Tenta (on Hibilly's website) and Hogan was about an inch taller than Hilbilly Jim in the 80's, so NO WAY was Hogan only as low as 6'5" in the 1980's. It is just not logical. Today, Hogan is lucky if he is 6'3"-6'3.5" today (compared to how he measures up to Hilbilly Jim in 2004-2005 (again on Hilbilly's website).

I'll try and predict Hogan's height over the last 20 years:
1988: 6"5
1993: 6"4.5
1998: 6"4.25
2003: 6"4
(When Hogan had hip surgeries and other large surgeries)
2008: 6"3.25
This would show that Hogan had lost an inch by the time he was in his late 40's, which is highly possible for a man of his size (on average men lose an inch by the time they are 50). Then after around the year 2000, major surgeries take place, which chop another inch or so off his height.

No way was hogan 2 inches taller than the rock, they had stairdowns galore, they were the exact same height to a tea. That would mean a 6'3 Hogan cb2978.

Yeah a lot of posters have some sort of vendetta out to get Hogan. I dont think he would tell that big of a fib unless he really did lose some height after surgery! I think 6'6'' peak and 6'3.5/6'4 today.

I do believe he was 6'6" to 6'7 " in his prime. I also believe 100% he lost 3" from surgeries. wrestler Superstar Billy Graham was a legit 6'4" in his prime and now is about 6'0" due to double hip replacement surgery.

Hogan was still in good condition until about 2000 onwards, it's only in the last 8-9 years or so that any height loss has been noticeable (co-inciding with the bigger surgeries he has had).
DEAD ON MIKO. I can't agree enough with that statement. I remember watching the very last days of WCW with Hogan in 2000 and he still looked long (tall) and healthy and then I saw him 2 years later when he came back to the WWE and I was like WTF!! He totally looked like he was physically compressed (he was noticeably shorter than only 2 years before and it showed when he stood next to 5'11"-6'3" men and looked barely taller then them, when only a couple years earlier he actually looked like a tall man. In 2002 his neck was shorter and his lower body looked strange (hip replacement/knee replacement). Since 2002, he seems to have gotten even worse.

Hogan still looked a strong 6"4 (6"4.5) guy in the mid nineties, but from 2000 onwards he slowly approached and possibly dropped slightly below 6"4 (6"3.75). Although when standing straight he still can pass for 6"4.

Yea i remember a guy saying he was 6'5, saw Hogan pass him and said he was taller than hogan.
this is impossible since the padding adds 2-3 inches for the people walking on it and then there are the boots which ar 1-2 inches thicker.
so if Hogan is 6'3.5, add 2 inches of padding and 1 inch from the boots he'd be 6'6.
and about the 100 surgeries thing.
i didnt mean hogan. another guy said some dude had 100 surgeries and is still tall and alive.
i doubt that, he should be dead or disabled.

Legit 6'4" David Hasselholf is taller than Hogan today. Hogan was taller than Hilbilly gym who was taller than 6'5 3/4" Earthquake. You do the math. If you are too lazy, go to Hilbilly Jim's website. Check out Hogan next to him in 1985 and 1989, where he was a good inch taller than him and then check them standing next to each other in 2004-2005 and see how Hogan is at least 2" shorter than him. 1" height loss is B.S. Hogan had 4-5" on Vince McMahon 28 years ago and had about 1" on him in 2002-2005. Hogan had at least 4" on Ed Leslie in the 1970's/1980's and is the same height as him today. 1" height loss is B.S.

I still can't get over how Bill Fralic sized up with big john studd. He is almost the same height, he is less than 1 inch shorter, Fralic was listed by the NFL as 6'5 And studd was getting 6'11 Hogan was having matches with studd at that exact same time in the mid 80's and he did not size up as well with studd. Studd was getting 6'11-6'10 and hogan was getting 6'8-6'7 which seemed right at the time because studd was 2-3 inches taller than hogan. Whatever Fralic's true height was it was at least an 1.50 inches more than hogan, I have always been the first one to say that Hogan must have been at least 6'5.75 in his prime, but that video makes me think he was way less, the only thing that would make a little sense would be if Fralic was 6'6 and that would at least maybe give hogan 6'4.50. I saw a pic of Fralic with HBJ who is always put at 6'5.50 and he is at least as tall and thats including HBJ FRIZZED out hair, pics with hogan and HBJ show about the same thing. I'll give Legit heights of 6'5.75 for Fralic 6'4.50 for Hogan and 6'4 for HBJ without the finger in the light socket hair.

I find it hard to believe that hogan has lost 2 - 3 inches either, but all the pics that have been posted here do actually proof it. Hogan was AT least as tall as Tiny Lister (I'd even say .5 to 1" taller than him, as seen in the staredown when they are the same height, but Lister wears heels on his boots).

PEAK 6'3 3/4 and today 6'3 1/4 sounds good. thats a half inch, i dont believe he lost anymore than that! (no one should) since its impossible

Hogan didn't lose all of his height through surgeries, he lost most of it due to terrible posture, the guy is basically bent forwards! He can't straighten himself out - just look at his knees.
Peak 6"5.5
Today with surgeries 6"3.5 (+ poor posture 6"3)

Science isn't always right. theres theory and then theres experience.
and i didnt mean Hogan having 100 surgeries someone below my comment said some dude had 100 surgeries and is still tall and alive.
you have to agree he shouldnt be alive mate.
But it is true that some men over 6'2 can lose height at a early age. some men have even lost height in their twenties.
this just goes to show that not everyone is the same.
and now back to Hogan. i remember a guy saying he himself was 6'5 and saw hogan walking by him at summerslam. this is obviously false.
because hogan would be wearing his big shoes and the padding around the ring and the concrete behind the barracade give an advantage to the wrestlers when they walk by. making it seem like people around the wrestlers are almost 5'0.
the height difference with the padding and concrete is 3 inches.

wtf if that guy had 100 surgeries then he shouldnt be alive no matter what. he shouldnt have legs or arms or a neck.
all men. and i do mean all men will begin to lose height pass the age of 35. this rule especially applies to men over the height of 6'2 and men who suffer stress and high blood pressure.
by 50-60 a man would have lost between 2-4 inches in height yes this is possible.
The scientific evidence points towards a loss of 1 1/4" for men by age 70 and 2" for women by age 70. As each passing decade men and women alike loose another full inch per decade. Your 2-4" height loss by 50-60 is absurd and has NO scientific basis towards it. Furthermore, Hogan has not had 100's of surgeries. Another extreme exageration from you. He has had a few back surgeries, a few knee replacements, an entire hip replacement and a neck fusion. There is a reason the man doesn't wrestle anylonger and walks as though he were a zombie and of course has appeared to have lost a solid 2.5-3" of height since 1990 and no, I have not even accounted his age into the equation.

Well, that is what he may officially be today, but I have muscle and fitness and FLEX magazines dating back to 1981 where he had competed in many competitions dating back as early as 1982 where he had been described as 6'6", 6'7" and 6'8". IFBB is not the WWE. Anyways, he must be older now and surely has dipped below 6'6" if he is claiming his current height to be 6'5.2"

Well, that is what he may officially be today, but I have muscle and fitness and FLEX magazines dating back to 1981 where he had competed in many competitions dating back as early as 1982 where he had been described as 6'6", 6'7" and 6'8". IFBB is not the WWE. Anyways, he must be older now and surely has dipped below 6'6" if he is claiming his current height to be 6'5.2"

"Derek and mike, so only WRESTLERS lose several inches? lol when will you guys wake up and realize that the wwf was/is a world of lies?! ppl realize how short they really is, and thats where the excuses comes in the picture, like excuses?
swedish former nhl player borje salming havent even lost a TAD! he is 56-57 yrs old and still 186 cm today like he was when he played. and he have had well over 100(!) surgeries all over his body! now compare that to hogan(3 surgeries?) you dont lose height couse of surgeries! thats a stupid excuse"
If you were slammed on your back day in and day out for 20+ years, you are going to lose height. That hockey player was not slammed on his back daily for 20 years and I'm willing to bet most of his surgeries were not on his neck or back.

I don't understand why the Hulk thinks his daughter is 6 foot when she obviously isn't. He towers over her so much, so you would think he'd downgrade her and not upgrade her.

Hogan gets slighted on this site, he might have schrunk up to about 6'3.75 in his old age but back in the 70's he must have been about 6'6. he was about the same height as tiny lister in the late 80's and that's tall, Lister was about the same height as ralph moeller who is always put between 6'5+ and 6'7 so I can't see how a about 1978 Hogan (25yr old) would not be all but 6'6. To many people try to judge a guy's height in there old age and not there prime, I see on the Burt Reynolds sight where people are looking at a recent pic of him and saying he does not look as tall as he has said, the man is like 83yr old. he was 25 in like 1950.

Sorry, but Ralph Moeller was nothing under 6'6" and most likely taller. In bodybuilding he had a 6'8" height listing. 6'5.5" is just too low for him.
Peak Hogan - 6'5.5"-6'6"
Current Hogan - 6'3"-6'3.5"

Ola most people have lost some height by the time they are 50. Rob will clarify this, some people lose millimeters, some lose a couple of centimeters.
Hogan's surgeries and years of wrestling have worn his body down, combine this with his terrible posture (basically bent forwards), and 2 inches isn't as huge a loss as it sounds.
I can easily go from 6"0 to 5"10 by bending my knees slightly, and leaning forwards.
I remember that Hogan recently looked within 6-7 inches of the 7"1 Great Khali in a staredown, that would have put Hogan around 6"5. He obviously isn't that tall nowadays, but he was standing fully straight (for once) - and looked tall.

Real name Terry Gene Bollea.
I suspect he is. Because Nick definately has those facial features.
I know so many pro wrestlers though. Arabs love wrestling in general, and even more so when it's glamorized as it is.

Ferrigno was measured and weighed in 1994 (just before the Masters). He was 42-43 years old. His stats for the show was slightly over 6'4" and weighing 298 pounds (down from 325 from the previous year). I had the article in Muscle and Fitness in 1994. Was that his PEAK height? It was probably the 6'4.5" he claimed and that was rounded to 6'5". SO, if he was slightly over 6'4" in his early 40's, which I believe he was (seeing he had a clear 2-3" barefeet on the 6'1"-6'2" Paul Dilett at the 1993 Mr. Olympia), the question is, HOW MUCH has he shrunk since 1994 (14 years)? I say he is still over 6'3", but by how much?

The co-star with Hogan in Thunder in Paridise was Chris Lemon who is said to be 6'2-6'3. If thats true Hogan was a good 2 inches taller than him but no more than that. Making him 6'4-6'5 at most in the early to mid 90's. So maybe 6'5.75 late 70's for Hogan.

Ola, fact for fictions? Are you serious? You claim hogan shorter than ferrigno but hogan is even taller TODAY.
Your 6'4 claim for a peak hogan is way off, if you bothered to check all the evidence here there is more than enough proof that a peak hogan was not below 6'5, NO WAY, the FACTUAL discussion is if he was 6'6.

There's a slight camera tilt in your pic Ola (look at the "E" symbol). Hogan is clearly taller with the tilt eliminated. Click Here Another decent camera angle with Ferrigno. Click Here Hogan clearly looks taller though we can't see the footwear. Hogan looked to have normal dress shoes on with Stacey Kiebler (~ 5'11") in heels and he somehow towered over her. I still think he could be around 6'4" today unless he's wearing lifts.

Here's a video of Hulk returning to the WWF in 1993. He has cowboy boots on and being interviewed by Vince McMahon in the middle of the ring. Depending on the camera angle, the difference can look from 1 inch up to 4 inches, but I'm thinking it's more like 2-3 inches. I believe Hogan had more height on Vince in the 80's, but the difference looks about the same as what it was in 2002.

Hogan had pretty narrow shoulders, unlike guys like Sid, Nash, Lesnar, Warlord, etc., so he never appeared that huge (except his arms). At his peak (steroid) size, he could still probably hold his own mass-wise with most others, including Lou.

Hogan wasn't as big body wise as Ferrigno - but this site isn't about muscles, simply height - he was, and still is taller.
Probably 1.5" taller in the 80's and perhaps 0.5" nowadays.
To say that Ferrigno is taller than Hogan is pure stupidity.

Hogan has about 1 - 1.5 inches on lou, depending on which photo you see. If you look through the many photos they have together from that night, hogan is taller in EVERY photo! Even if Lou was 6'3 in 2005, hogan would be minimum 6'4 - 6'4.5, which i say he is today...no less than a solid 6'4
Hogan was a big man, easily 303lbs as billed in peak condition. Hogan just carried more fat than Lou. Hogan wasnt a bodybuilder, Lou was, that simple. No point comparing the 2 weight wise as they have totally different professions/lifestyles...

hogan was in the ring in 1986 with a bigger man than ferrigno in john studd who was 330lb minimum and hogan didn't look small next to him

Well if it's a fact that Hogan was bigger on a TV-show you probably won't have any problem by providing the evidence to that so-called fact (i.e. a video of the tv-show itself). As far as I know that so-called fact was mentioned by someone at a wrestling board and after that it has taken a life on it's own. Unless I get to see that program myself, I consider it a urban legend. Looking at The Incredible Hulk where Lou was huge (his bodyfat percentage was a lot more than during his bodybuilding days, so I guess he weighed more than 275 lbs at that point) and I have difficulty believing Hogan to be 'dwarfing' Ferrigno in size.

Even a very young and small Lou from the early/mid 70'2 (275 lbs and very thin) would have been almost at the same weight as a PEAK hogan. Lou was 6'4 1/2 peak while hogan was nothing over 6'4
You call 275 lbs very thin, you must be weighin' 500 lbs yourself then. Lou was thin before he started bodybuilding. After that he became a man-mountain. At 275 he dwarfed the competition, but size alone wasn't enough to beat Schwarzenegger who was much more defined than Ferrigno.

Obviously when Hogan was bigger/taller than Lou way back when he had his boots on. Those pics show that at worst Lou is the same height as Hogan. The boots gave Hogan a couple of inches and most of the time Lou was only about 275-280, so a 300 lb Hogan was a little bigger. Years ago, Lou was about 6'4.75-6'5 and Hogan was 6'5.

some of you are so desprate,to make a peak Hogan under 6'4''that you will make every one shorter then they are,you show me where Great Antonio is listed under 193cm,and we know for a fact Hogan was taller than 6,4.5''Lou Ferrgno,in 1978,or are you going to say he was only 6'2''.

Hogan was about at max, 6'5 5/8". At that height he could be about 6'8 in the big cowboy boots, and still lose a normal 1 1/8" down to the 6'3 3/4" I think he is now.

A 6"3 Inoki would result in a near 6"6 Hogan.
I have always pinned Inoki at about 6"2.25 - a fraction shorter than Ali, which would result in a 6"5 Hogan - which he clearly was.

The absolute lowest within reality I could take would be 6"4.75, but that is pushing it. Ola, Hogan had Flair by about 5 inches at his peak (remember he was always looking down at Flair, with poor posture) - that would make Hogan 6"5 and Flair 6"0 - that seems fair.
I personally feel he was probably 6"5.5 out of bed, and probably hovered around 6"5 during the day.
Nowadays, 6"3.75 out of bed, around 6"3.25 during the day.
That would equal a more realistic height loss of around 1.5 inches.

I think Benoit might have had a little extra in his oots in WCW. He looked suspiciously taller there than he did later. Anyway it's more like 2 inches between him and gene.
In my view Okerlund was 5'8 in his prime and later went down to 5'7, thus explaining how he always seemed to be the same amount shorter with Hogan.

It would be highly unlikely that any wrestler would be able to wrestle convincingly in much more than 2" boots. Hogan#s boots at his peak would have took him from 6"5.5 to over 6"7 in the ring.
But REMEMBER, other wrestlers wore boots too, so the advantage gained would be smaller. The talk of 3" boots whilst wrestling are absurd, but out of the ring - possible.

Years ago I'm sure many would have doubted the words of the security guy due to Hogan's inflated billed height and popularity, but now as time goes on it is more evident that Hogan is not the giant that people were led to believe.

I see things are rather hillarious on this page as usual. I agree Viper. 6'5 is a joke and 285 is just as funny. I just wanted to point out that on a recent American Gladiators show that there was a man competing who was stated as 6'2, a former college football player. I think his name was Landen. Anyway, when he stood next to Hulk Hogan for the interview, Hogan appeared to have nothing on him in height. They looked about the same. I think Landen even almost looked taller at various points. When the camera evened out, they looked about the same in height and the younger man's build looked naturally(key word,lol) more impressive than Hogan's as well and with a bigger frame. It was strange seeing this, but it is just further evidence that Hogan is and was always much shorter than people thought and so are many celebrities and wrestlers that Hogan has worked with. It had been noted that some of the gladiators have dwarfed Hogan. Yet another good point. I know that Hogan's custom cowboy boots among other shoes he has worn in public over the years have given him plenty of lift but his wrestling boots may have given a good deal of lift as well. I am not gonna bother with stating an exact estimate for Hogan's height at this time, but I can barely refer to him as "tall" anymore. I'm not sure how much I'll post here or at all, but it's nice seeing you all here again. Peace.

If Rodman is listed by the NBA at 6'6, he'll probably is a legit 6'6 and Jordan and Pippen both were measured in shoes, as Pippen looks to be the same height as Rodman and Jordan is clearly the shortest of the three.
Karl Malone was listed by the NBA at 6'9 and IIRC he was barely taller than Rodman when they both appeared at the Tonight Show.

If Rodman is listed by the NBA at 6'6, he'll probably is a legit 6'6 and Jordan and Pippen both were measured in shoes, as Pippen looks to be the same height as Rodman and Jordan is clearly the shortest of the three.
Karl Malone was listed by the NBA at 6'9 and IIRC he was barely taller than Rodman when they both appeared at the Tonight Show.

Click Here Pippen was measured at 6'7.5" when he was drafted by the Bulls in 1987. Rodman was also listed at 6'8" in the NBA. Pippen probably edges Rodman out but it would be close.
