It just goes to show. I used to state on here how Hogan had 2-3 inches on Jesse in the 80's and I wasn't wrong. BTW, Jesse isn't short by any means. There is a pic of him and Bill Clinton floating around, where Jesse has him by at least 2" and Bill Clinton is about 6'2". Hogan was at least 6'6" back in the day.

If you're interested in seeing how big Andre's head was, check out them movie "The Princess Bride". The scene wear the man in black (just in case someone hasnt seen the movie i dont want to give anything away) is choking Andre, they're heads are right next to each other. It's incredible how large Andre's head was.

I would say Hogan was 6ft 5 and Andre 6ft 10 at Wrestlemania 111
Was Hogan wearing lifts inside his boots thats another question ??

Viper, how long is your head from top of it to bottom of chin? Mine is about 9 inches. Gotta check to make sure. From the top of your head to eye level is more than mine but we still may have the same size head.

Andre's head 6 inches, thats crazy if its true. Mine is about 4.5, maybe even 4 inches. I have an average size forehead but my entire head is 8.5-9 inches.

I'm at least on the 5 mark, maybe slightly over. I often have a problem finding hats that fit. :/ We got teeny weeny heads compared to poor old Andre, though!

My dad lost some height, when he was 60 he had lost almost 2 inches of height and he hasn't been wrestling. So it's not out of the question that Hogan has shrunk. 6'7 however seems out of the question. My guess is a solid 6'5 for his peak.
Jason you're right... when I remeasured my forehead down to my eye-level it was closer to 5 inches than the 4.5 I thought I had. So Andre has got to have had close to 6 inches on Hogan...but this poses an interesting question... was Hogan only 6'4 at wrestlemania? or was Andre in fact closer to 6'11 at wrestlemania 3 where he already looked like he had lost som height? It's a tough call... a theory could be that Hogan was indeed 6'5 back then and Andre 6'10.5... some thoughts on this anyone?

Did he have any vertebrae fused? That is quite unusual to lose that much height. 2 1/2 inches.
And I am no doctor, but I am not certain if knee surgeries affect one's height.

I would say Andre's top of head to eye level would have been around 6''. Mine's a full 5'' and Andre's head was bigger than mine lol. Andre had an immense forehead, more than just a mere half an inch on the average guy.

Richard, Andre's head is long and big but not sure how big his forehead was. Mine is the same as yours about 4.5 inches so Andre's is more 5 inches then. I can't see his eye level being more than 5 inches from the top of his head. Andre was then 6'10, but I tell you by the early 90's Andre didn't look anything over 6'9.

How is that possible Alex?
Hogan was at Andre's eye-level and his head was huge. Now, I'm 6'2.5 and the distance from the top of MY head is 4.5 inches, isn't it safe to assume Andre had a bigger head than I do?
I think he was between 5 and 5.5 inches taller than Hogan and if Hogan was roughly 6'5 back then it's safe to assume Andre was 6'10-6'10.5. At least that's an argument that sounds plausible to me.
As for Hogan's peak I would place him at a solid 6'5" perhaps 6'5.5 in the early mornings. However the 6'6 listing seems a bit too tall. I'm a Hogan fan, but I have to be realistic too. He looks more 6'3-6'4 now.

I've also heard Hogan was really 6'5 being billed at 6'8. That could be true and if so then it makes Andre was 6'9-6'9.5 during WM 3. Andre wasn't more than 4.5 inches taller than Hogan during that staredown. I could say Hogan was 6'5 at his peak but no less than that though. Looked too tall back then to be under 6'5.

I also agree that Hogan could be as short as 6'3 since rodman is 3 inches or so taller then Hulk. Thats why I told you guys to watch that video. I am a hogan fan and was amazed when I watched that video of Hogan looking about 6'3 or less.

I agree Jason. I find it hard to beleive he was ever 6-5 plus. I think he might have lost an inch to an inch and a half possibly. Could have been 6-4 at his peak.

The top of Hogan's head exceeds Nash's eye level meaning the difference between them is less than 4 1/2''. 4 1/2'' being the average man's top of head to eye level. Nash has a large overall head, but not a big forehead. If you look at the pic that's been posted on here once or twice before of Nash staring down Mabel, Mabel's forehead is way bigger.
I agree Mike & Viper, I sure can't see Hulk having lost that much. Height loss stories is just a convenient explanation favoured by some wrestlers to explain the discrepancy between their billed and actual heights.

Hogan doesnt look tall at all in those WCW matches even. He looks the same height as he does now, which is barely scraping 6-3, possibly shorter.

The first time I found out Hogan wasn't as tall as I'd been lead to believe was in 2000 when a question and answers thing in Powerslam magazine said although he was billed by the WWF as 6'8'' he was actually 6'4''.

Looked 1 inch between Rodman and Nash to me, but I won't argue with 1 1/2. If Rodman is 6'6 1/2'', that puts Nash at 6'8''. If Rodman is just a flat 6'6'' then Nash is 6'7 1/2'', or 6'7'' if the difference is just a square inch.

Rodman usually looked about 2 inches taller than Jordan. He was always listed at 6'8" and then for some reason his height was lowered to 6'6". It could be like Barkley wanting to be thought of as 6'4", to make his rebounding and scoring accomplishments all the more impressive. Rodman has around 2 inches on Hogan. Just about every picture of Nash and Hogan in the late 1990s has Nash with at least a 5 inch height advantage.

I think Rodman is 6'6.5 and Hogan looks 2.5 inches shorter than him making the Hulk 6'4 not 6'2 Viper.
Remember, the man has bad posture during the match, but in the closeups with Rodman he looks 2-2.5 inches shorter.
The interesting thing here is Nash... this would only make him 6'8-6'8.5 since he looked an inch and a half taller than Rodman.

Its pretty weird to think as Hogan that short in the 90's but I guess thats the case being as Rodman is 6'6, hogan does not even look 6'4. Its a shame.

Viper, by the way what was your guess on Test's height? Really I can't see this guy under 6'5. He looks 6'5 at least. I've heard more than a few times his real height was 6'5 and was just listed at 6'6-6'7. With Snoop Dogg he looked in the 6'5-6'6 range and both guy's footwear looked the same too.
When Test was on Fear Factor he was a good 5 inches taller than Matt Hardy who is 6'0 who was a couple inches taller than 5'8 Joe Rogan. And when Test was with Joe Rogan, Test was over a head taller.

Guys go to youtube.com and type in WCW the Giant. They will show a match between hogan and 6'7 dennis rodman vs. The Giant and Lex Luger. 6'7 denise rodman apears 3 inches taller then hogan who is wearing cowboy boots. It seems hulk is 6'3 tops in the ninties, so he cant be 6'4 now. Game cant be 6'4

Guys, I just checked out the girls gone wild 2003 tape and at the end Snoop, Test, Coach, Stacy and the girls are together and Test and Snoop were near each other a few times in a pretty decent camera shot and Test looked a good 2 inches taller than Snoop, maybe a bit more. Snoop I saw had on sneakers which is going to give him 1-1.5 inches of height and Test had on some black boot type shoes on, no idea how big the heel was. I'd guess they were 1-1.5 inches. Now I do remember when Brock only was 2 inches shorter than Test but I bet Test had on smaller boots while Brock wore lifts in that match to make the height difference smaller. Also Test was a good few inches taller than Coach who is about 6'3 himself. Even with all the girls on the stage Test looked a solid 6'5 guy, maybe 6'6 next to them all.

When I have my 1.5 inch sneakers on I am 1.5 inches taller. Same with my 1 inch sneakers. I always thought with boots or whatever footwear you have on unless its heels you are that same height of the heel.

I remember on Fear Factor a couple years ago Test towered over the 5'8 Joe Rogan and Matt Hardy was 4 inches taller than Rogan and Test was at least 5 inches taller than Hardy. But with Lesnar who is like 6'2 I do remember Test looked only 2 inches or so taller than Lesnar. I am thinking Brock probably had on lifts to be closer in height with Test.

Yeah, I think so. I used to believe Test was 6'5'' once upon a time, though. He's only 1 1/2, 2 at best inches taller than Brock Lesnar. I remember on another board (I can't remember what board, this was a long time ago) I read a sighting from a 6'2'' guy who said he saw Test one morning having breakfast at some place on the road and he was really suprised that Test was only like around an inch taller than him.

If the heel of a boot is 1,5 inches it doesn't give the person wearing them 1,5 inches. Just try it for yourself, you don't get the actual height of the heel. That's because the centre of the leg isn't at the back where you usually measure the sole. It's like the hypotenuse of a triangle, the height it gives you diminishes with the distance from the top of it. A 1,5 inch boot will give no more than 1 inch, at the very most.

Jason, Snoop is a good 6'3. He can appear a litte taller because of his skinny build. I remember on Girls Gone Wild on PPV a little over 3 years ago Test, Coach, Stacy, Torrie were on there and Test was at least 2 inches taller than Snoop putting Test at 6'5 minimum as most would think. I am going to check the tape out again where they are next to each other and I'll make sure the height difference. Thats why I can't see Test being as short as 6'3 as you estimated him at.
