Nice name Lol, take a look at him in his strongman days firstly and tell me his not 6'10.. his even huge opposite Magnus Samuelsson, who is a legit 6'6.75.

6'8? Is this a running joke on this site to downgrade people all the time?
Why would someone that tall lie about there height? It makes no sense, WWE even tried to bill him as 7 foot, but he kept saying he was 6'10.
________
People lie about their height all the time. I'm 5'10" and I have met numerous people that told me that they are 5'10" as they were looking up at me. Beyond that, I have met dozens of people that have exaggerated their heights. Magic Johnson was listed at 6'8" or 6'9" in the NBA and always claimed 6'9" for himself. However, he was listed at 6'7" in the 1992 Olympics.
Josey Wales said on 22/Apr/13
Is anybody here familiar with former Dutch strongman Ted Van Der Parre? He won WSM in 1992. He was always announced as beieng 7 foot. Wouldve liked to see him and Nathan Jones togehther for comparrisson. I always thought he (Van Der Parre) was of much same proportions to Kevin Nash.

@Duhon: I have no idea about foot sizes, but while Nathan is said to be 208cm on one site and 211cm on another, Conan is described equally everywhere as 214cm. Depending on which of Nathan's heights you pick, that makes Conan 3-6cm taller. (2.5cm is an inch, roughly.) Hope that helps you?
ted said on 21/Dec/12
Yes but magnus beat Jones when he broke his arm in arm wrestling
I suppose he didn't realise the pressure when magnus had his arm almost down
Otherwise jones might have won words strongest man
Vegas said on 20/Dec/12
undertaker in 2003 measured up better next to jones than magnus did and matt morgan was basically same height as jones and ali claims morgan is max 6'6 so where does that really leave magnus and conan stevens if ali is correct
Clay said on 18/Dec/12
Magnus still beat Nathan Jones in arm wrestling easily even when he was lighter. Incredible strongman.
Corey Saint said on 16/Dec/12
@ Danimal
I saw Magnus in Atlanta in 2001 and managed to speak to him. I was in awe over how big his shoulders, upper back, and arms were. Not only was the guy thick, but very tall too. I'm a hair over 6'4" and I had to look up to talk to him. One word: Impressive. Magnus is a very nice guy who is strong but doesn't come across as too good to talk to you. As a result of that encounter, i'll say Jones is the full 6'10, after all the height difference with Magnus when they stood opposite was a substantial amount.
bigfern192-194cm said on 15/Dec/12
@ Danimal
Magnus is not 6,6. He is every bit a strong 6,7. He is massive and yes, he did fill out a ton. He is probably a lot bigger than Nathan is now in terms of muscle mass.
Duhon said on 11/Dec/12

Well, he made Magnus Samuelsson look quite skinny, but Samuelsson back in the 90s was much lighter than today, he's near 340 pounds now I think or at least was in his last competition. He looked 3-4 inches taller than 200cm Samuelsson so yeah, 6 ft 10 looks about right.
Ravin said on 24/Oct/12
@Mr Marko... At the start of that video where they are lined up, Jones is standing next to Joe Onasai (to Jones left). Onasai was listed as 6 ft 4 by the Dallas Cowboys and in his strongman days and Jones is clearly a head taller than him. I would say in shoes he was def hitting 7 ft. I watched the whole video and when he got close to the camera it just showed how big he really was . A true Megaman!
Mr Marko said on 13/Oct/12
Click Here The speaker announces him as 6 foot 10 in height.
Beefus said on 11/Oct/12
Jones easily towered over other strongmen when he was competing.
He was often called 7ft tall, and its been mentioned on this page already, but he was measured at 6'10.5" back in the mid 1990's.
6'10" easily.
Keep in mind those videos with matt morgan. The soles of Matt's boot looked thicker, Morgan had a full head of hair too. Jones was bald.
Those little things can easily hide up to an inch of height, so Jones may have been a full inch taller than Morgan.
Only way to know 100% sure is to put them back to back barefoot and measure.
If you cannot do that, then well, simply put you gotta take their word for it.
I see nothing proving Jones to be a liar when he called himself "6-10", and he may not have thought it important to mention the extra half inch.
If a guy is only 5'3.5" he will never forget that extra half inch. Guys over 6ft almost never mention it.

Sorry, I meant the part where Brock confronts Hayman with the debuting Morgan and returning Jones. Bigshow is a meter away from Jones but you can see that Jones is taller than Morgan and Show has what looks like 3-4 inches on Morgan.
Rikashiku said on 20/Sep/11
Really? Because I also remember JR and Cole giving him the 7'0" treatment, even going for 6'11" a few times.
No a very good pic there Vegas. Look at the formation of team Lesnar and you can see Jones is closer in height than Morgan is next to Bigshow.
Rikashiku said on 15/Sep/11
WWE had Jones at 7'0". It was Nathan who was saying the whole time that he was 6'10". He looked around an inch taller than Morgan so he could have been 6'9.5". I can't find the MMA listing him at 6'9" but apparantly its PRIDE and thats about as credible as UFC.
Click Here
A part of a news paper stating him as 208cm(6'10") and 150kg(I think thats about 330lbs. Wow I just guess that and google says its right)
He could have shrunken in height over the years. He is coming up to 41 now and my Papa told me that men who are really tall and heavy will struggle to stay tall for very long because their being brought down by the weight. Sore knees and bent backs.

Jones is a legit 6'10", he was measured in Prison at 208cm. He was billed at 7'0" by WWE while Bigshow was billed at 7'2", but Jones kept saying that he was 6'10" so that ruined what WWE was billing him at.

hyruler, I agree he is an "overqualified giant", I met him once and he said "six ten and a half". He has no reason to exaggerate.

Strongman is a real sport and when I looked him up on youtube they announce him at 6'10":

Don't know about that picture Vegas, they look close in height there, but it's not a good picture to judge height from. I've seen videos of matches with both Jones and Heidenreich performing in Japan, and Jones looked a easily 4" taller than Heidenriech. The picture you posted looks like a promo shot and he may be leaning closer to the camera to be level with his tag team partner. Whatever the case in the videos of matches they had together Jones towered over heidenreich.

On WSM Magnus Samuelsson did look 3 inches shorter than Jones, Nathan is huge alright but 6'9 could be right for him.
Icehole73 said on 4/Jan/11
6'9" next to Taker and Show. He doesn't look at tall as Nash did next to Taker or Show. In Troy obviously they were making him look much taller with the camera angle and looked almost 7, I agree. Still a big man by any means and wished to see him and Morgan back in the day wrestle Kane but that would have messed up his near 7' listing with his big boots. Kane was shorter than Kurgan in Battle Royals but only by a hair. Taker, Kane, Nash, Morgan, Jones and Mane could all pass between 6'8" to 6'10" with the right boots.
NorthRose said on 7/Dec/10
I met Jones back in 2003 when he was still doing the Lesnar team thing. I asked him how tall he was and he said "about six ten and a half" and when I aksed him how heavy he was he said "around three fifty". He looked every bit of it.

Electric Shock,
the pic you got of Nathan and UT makes UT's head look far bigger than Nathan's, to the point of being evidence that UT was closer to the camera. Nathan's arm is extended more and the rope is in UT's arm pit. The videa that was taken from uses very odd angles, where telling the height difference of either is very hard, as anything closer to the camera angle looks far bigger.
Many of the WWE vids use odd angles. Often when the camera is to a wrestlers back, they seem to tower over the person they are near, but if you try to use same plane scaling, you would be wrong, as they are not in the same plane. If that were the case, then one guy has a head 3" taller than the other, and unless we are talking about Andre, that just is not the case.
Click Here pause on second 32 of this clip, right as the screen fades out. There Nathan looks several inches taller than UT. In the angles before hand, Nathan's head is so far away from UT's it looks like his head is half the size of UT's, and you will notice that NAthan is looking DOWN at the Undertaker.

Also, shoot fighting isn't any more reliable than Pro Wrestling for heights. They say Tim Sylvia's 6'8", and he's two inches shorter than Undertaker. Giant Silva has been billed 7'6.5" in a shoot match and he's about 7' even.
Electric Shock said on 4/Jun/09
Ben, the answer is in the half inches. I get Nash 2.5" taller than Sid.
Yaspaa, you've yet to show any evidence of Taker and Nathan Jones which shows Nathan Jones anymore than an inch taller than Taker. There is also no significant proof that Nathan Jones is anything over 6'9".

In or around the ring proof... is no proof at all but to tag along,what about the A-train/Taker faceoff? I was disagreeing with your opinion on their height difference,6'9 to bed.
You have big hearts in the eyes Undertaker love which is obscuring your cognitive functions into believing that the difference between Taker and Jones is only an inch......Undertaker...I...wuv you.
Electric Shock said on 3/Jun/09
I never said under 6'9"!
I said Nathan Jones is 6'9.25". That'd be over 6'9". I said under 6'10". Unlike you I don't believe Undertaker is 6'7.5", and I've proven repeatedly that he's over 6'8". Jones is 1 inch taller than Taker which makes him 6'9"-6'9.5".
Yaspaa said on 2/Jun/09
How do you explain the Conan Stevens pics?,give me some proof of Taker not in a ring setting there is nothing real about those events so why use them for evidence and you cant say 'even boots' because you dont know. All I know is he looks close to 6'10,his limbs look really long and he was easily taller than Samuelsson and there was no ring attire there. He was given a 6'9 at Pride FC and I'm going with that being his minimum.
The Ben said on 1/Jun/09

Yaspaa, Nathan Jones eyes are only an inch and a half max over Taker's. Taker has a substantial forehead. As for footwear, they were both wearing even boots.
Nathan Jones is NOT 6'10". He's barely hanging onto 6'9". Undertaker is 6'8.25", given that he's a half an inch taller than Kane.

Lebowski said on 13/Feb/09
There is no way Nathan Jones is 6'10 if you take a look at this video, where he attacks the big show (6'11).
If you stop the video at 0:37 you clearly see he is a good 4 inches shorter than the Big Show. If you stop it at 0:59, he appears to be 7 inches taller than Arnold Schwarzenegger. Both ways...he appears to be no taller than 6'7 to 6'8. 6'10 is really way off the mark.

gazz the height of both guys varies a LOT in that video. It was filmed with very distorted angles, and depending on what guy is closer to the camera at any frame they go back and forth so much it is hard to tell anything from it.
Predator said on 1/Nov/08
You make some valid points about his height, supermanfan280. He probably doesn't realy care. But anyway, he's HUGE.
And I don't know if the 320 kg dl was his PL record or in stronman 1996. I think it might be in 1996, because is was listed in a strongman book. Sons of Samson vol.2
So yeah, maybe his PL deadlift was realy near 900 lbs.
gazz said on 1/Nov/08
has nathan even got 1.5 on taker, that training video they look pretty identical in height, takers head is so long but his eye level is lower.
supermanfan380 said on 31/Oct/08
I forgot to mention a couple things in the last post. Jones has said himself
supermanfan380 said on 31/Oct/08
Predator, do you know if that DL was in 1996? If it was from the heat that he came in 3rd, that was the year right after his arm break. He had less than 6 months to train leading up to that contest.
His arm had to be fully healed before he could train it again. For example: in that heat his SQ was 285 kg, o 627 pounds. This was a way past parallel squat, deep squat. He failed at 310 kg, or 682 pounds. Numbers like those are NOT what got him to being the Australian Powerlifting Champion. Keep in mind however, that was only 6 months of training after letting his arm heal. Before his injury He was likely putting up over 100 more pounds on every lift.
Even if that was before his arm break, you have to consider that he is extremely tall. 711 DL is very very good for any one over 6'6", and we know that regardless of exactly how tall he is, 6'6" is still short next to him.
As far as him saying 6
Anonymous said on 30/Oct/08
It's not weird when you consider that Khali is usually mentioned "over 7 feet tall" when they could be precise on at least some 3 extra inches. Why are they rounding it below?Well, They are not always trying to impress you, you know!?
Anyway, back on the Nathan-Sid comparisson. Is there any recent pic of both men standing straight, no walking cane, no street shoes... next to each other? I don't think nathan has as much advantage as the video makes believe.
Predator said on 29/Oct/08
Well, I dunno either is it's realy RLC posting here. But I doubt it cause here they say he's 6'11, ,while he is always billed as 6'10. Thats a bit weird I think. And I found that his max DL was 320 kg. Thats 711 lbs. His SQ and BP can be right, because he was a good powerlifter. So his SQ and BP had to be high to compensate his DL. 320 kg still is a lot, but I dunno if it's enough to become a powerlifting champ. I don't now if that is true either, but I do know that his strenght was mostly in his upper body. Chest and arms.
supermanfan380 said on 28/Oct/08
Predator, RLC Motion Pictures really is Nathan's management company. I don't know if it is really RLC posting here. Even if they are legit, they may not know what Nathan's old powerlifting records from 1995 are. Honestly, with the low level of popularity that sports like that have. I think there is an old score card sitting in the rusting file cabinet of an old grungy gym. That was also Nathan in his late 20s. These days he is close to 40, and so those feats are not his current lifts anyway. This is not official, I cannot prove it, but on several powerlifting boards, a few years ago, Nathan's lifts were supposedly around 700 BP, 800 SQ, and 900 DL. Only one rep each, and with equipment like a squat/deadlift suit, and a bench shirt for the bench. None of those were world records, even in 1995, but the combined total of 2400 or so was what made Nathan the Australian National Powerlifting Champion.
Like I said, I could not find proof of those numbers either. Take them with a grain of salt. Likely RLC does not have access to the forgotten rusting old gym cabinet either (if anyone knows where it is). The only thing RLC could do is ask Nathan if those numbers I posted are correct, and take his word for it if he says
supermanfan380 said on 24/Oct/08
RLC, how is Nathan's left arm doing after the cement truck hit him? Is it permanently damaged, or does hejust have to give it a few months to heal and then hit the gym to rebuild it?
Predator said on 17/Oct/08
Well then, if you are his management compagny, why is he always billed 6'10? It's a bit stupid to bill him shorter as he is. So....I don't realy believe you actually. (if you realy are his management compagy, what's his DL, BP and SQ then? Don't exargerate them)
He's 6'9 or 6'10.
RLC Motion Pictures said on 15/Oct/08
We are Nathan's management company and can assure everyone that Nathan stands barefoot at 6 feet 11 inches or 211 centimeters.
Anonymous said on 1/Oct/08
Taker is 6'8", and there only seemed to be an inch or maybe an inch and a half between jones and taker in 2003. So nathan jones is either 6'9" or 6'9.5", or maybe taker is adding an inch to his height with some huge boots or something which is possible since taker probably didnt want to look "short" next to nathan.

wtf re u talking about nathan "in his prime" he's 6'10 now.

Nathan was definetely 6ft 10in in his prime although Kevin Nash was 6ft 9.5in or also 6ft 10in in his prime.
Red said on 20/Sep/08
I think Nathan and Nash would be the same peak height. Nathan slouches often even with big people like Undertaker he doesn
Steve said on 19/Sep/08
Is he taller than Kevin Nash?I would say he is but i am not sure.
M.o.r.g said on 18/Sep/08
yeah only u think that jimmy.
Jimmy said on 17/Sep/08
Red, that video plays a little trick on you there. Nathan is still taller than Sid, but the video makes it look more significant than it really is. First of all, the angle favours Nathan through most of the vid. Second, if you search for another video that shows the arrival of Sid at the event, you'll notice that Sid wears thin street shows (while Nathan wears regular wrestling boots wich are higher). Nathan has maybe 1.5 inches on Sid, the video makes it look like 2.5 inches or so.

Supermanfan380 said on 30/Jul/08
NathanW,
That video is about the worst possible to discern the height of either of them, compared to each other or anything else for that matter. The camera is at an angle pointing downward, Not nearly level, and odd camera seems to make anything even slightly closer to itself appear gigantic, while anything in the background looks tiny.
Notice how if either of them are even just slightly closer to the camera than the other, they appear to TOWER over the other, and then in the next instant be DWARFED by them.
The angles in that particular video are significantly worse than most wrestling videos, and a lot of them have bad angles to begin with.
As I said before, you would need to show me a level picture, head to toe, barefoot next to another very tall person of a known height to convince me otherwise. Too much evidence puts him at 6
NathanW said on 26/Jul/08
Click Here Jones has bout an inch or so on taker, id give him 6 8 - 6 8.5
Supermanfan380 said on 16/Jul/08
In person Magnus is a monster 6'6.5" easily. In the videos with Nathan and UT, Nathan did look taller, and the angles were really weird a lot too. Later as part of team Lesnar, he only looked about 2" shorter than the BigShow in the ring at the beginning of the match, and Jone
Drexyl said on 14/Jul/08
There's a good video somewhere of Jones arm wrestling a legit 6,6.5" Magnus Samuelsson. Judging by that I'd say 6,10" was spot on.

Supermanfan380 said on 12/May/08
Mattiew,
That is a tough call, being that no picture of the two togetehr, barefoot for that matter, at a level angle, and equal distance from the camera, really cannot say for certain that Nash is taller than Jones.
Wearing flats, clearly evident, when UT had cowboy type boots on, Jones still looked a little taller than UT, but if you consider the different footwear.
When Nash was paired with UT at Wrestlemania, Nash was the one wearing the thicker footwear, and at the time, UT was not wearing the biker/cowboy boots that he later was wearing durring the Jones angle, 8 years later.
Both of those references, are totally scewed, as boot thickness, bad angles can severly scew the way wrestlers look in height. There are pictures with Jones looking within 2" of the Bigshow, and some where he looks 5" shorter, with angles clearly giving the advantage to show. The same has been seen with Nash and BigShow (Giant) in WCW. I remember there being times the two looks only 2" appart, and other a half foot.
Personally I think Jones is a solid 6'10", and that Nash used to be a solid 6'10", and is now with all his injuries closer to 6'9". Nash is a lot older than Jones, but I think the peak for Nash was spot on the same as Jone's current.
Mattiew_- said on 6/May/08
I find it odd that this site Nathan Jones at a 6'10 height , while it has Kevin Nash at 6'9 ...
Kevin is obviously as tall if not taller than Nathan Jones ...
Predator said on 5/May/08
Who would win in a real fight? Nathan jones vs Big Daddy V or Khali? And does anyone knows ho much he can deadlift bench and squat? And does anyone thinks he is stronger than
Mark Henry or Khali? I think he is stronger than both.
Yaspaa said on 21/Apr/08
Nathan is too heavy for the UFC anyway
Supermanfan380 said on 20/Apr/08
Nathan is NOT a UFC fighter. Strength is only 1 aspect of the game. I give credit due on his height as a strong 6'10, his extreemely impressive build he had especially circa 2003-2004, his powerlifting feats etc...
However, his size alone would slow him down for a KO with the worlds best and much faster opponents. He likely does not fear any of this however, as UFC fighters do not go around picking fights in public, and anyone else is not going to pick a fight with Nathan. 99.9% of the huma population Jones could beat into hamburger. Besides UFC has a weight limit of 265, and Nathan is out of that by anywhere from 60-85 pounds, depending on how much he has been hitting the weights recently.
Alex2 said on 20/Apr/08
i guess if Nathan was in UFC he would be built 7'0", oh and wheres your evidence of Undertaker wearing "huge boots"?
Predator said on 19/Apr/08
Nathan is very strong. If he goes to the UFC that is an advantage. He is also a blackbelt in martial arts. I don't know what Martial art. And if he goes training with a former champion, (Bas Rutten, for example) he can have a chance. But he needs some training first.
Jason said on 16/Apr/08
Bob Sapp didn't do too badly. Heck, he would have (with, like, 6 months of training) beaten Antonio Nogueira if their match back in 2002 had have been a street fight ... that woulda been the pavement Nog's head was being slammed into, not the canvas.
Me said on 15/Apr/08
Nathan in the UFC? It would be just another disappointment to add to his resume. The guys in the UFC are for real. They don't train to look big, they train to beat the crap out of other people. Nathan is just a mighty-looking-to-the-average-guy actor.

Nathan Jones is 6'10. Undertaker wore huge boots. Nathan didn't. He is 6'9 at least. I think 6'10. And untertakers billed height is 6'10.5

Even though Takers boots are not as thick as Kane

OMG dave, those backstage videos have about the WORST angles and perspective you could find.
WWE plays with these all the time to make some people look taller/shorter, more imposing etc
brother_h said on 4/Apr/08
yea ive seen those, and i remember taker didnt wear huge shoes back then. kane did on the other hand. actually jones was taller than taker in tose vids.
maybe he wore smaller boots or something. nathan is as tall as the other 6'10 wrestlers and almost as tall as this 7'0 guy theres a pic of him with these people in this thread somewhere.
he just doesnt have a 6'7 look to him. hes huge, like actually looks tall and not look like undertaker and kane. he actually looks like a 7 footer, or near 7 footer.
MagicTouch said on 3/Apr/08
Dave says on 3/Apr/08
Ok look at this video, the undertaker has the edge over Jones and the undertaker is about 6'7.5 so Jones is at best 6'7, still big but not a true giant, if Jones was really 6'10 then the undertaker is 6'11 and Kane must be a shade under 7'0 and they're nowhere near that.
--------------------------------------
And the same video, if you check the camera angles you will find that both wrestlers edges over each other depending where the camera swings.
Backstage videos are a poor way to compare heights, and this is no exception.

Dave said on 2/Apr/08
He is nowhere near 6'10, just assuming the 7'0 and 6'7.5 bill for the big show and the undertaker are correct on here, he even looked a tad shorter than the undertaker. and show had him by at least 4.5 inches when they were part of 'team lesnar', even lesnar himself didn't look over 5 inches shorter than Jones, so maybe 6'7 is about right.
shawn said on 25/Mar/08
Huge, he is 6'10, i have saw this guy when he was in wwe with matt morgan who is a giant too like 6'10 also, i am 6'4 and these guys were a lot taller than me i also met bradshaw who is 6'7.
Predator said on 19/Feb/08
Maybe it wouldn't be bad if he used heavy weights for just a few years. Maybe until he is 42. But in the Asterix movie he doesn't look very lean anymore but stil very strong. (not as strong as before)
And he is 6 foot 10 indeed.
Supermanfan380 said on 18/Feb/08
He "could" get his strength back, but he is not into the heavy weights anymore, and does not want to hold a bodyweight of 350 either, as even if it is all muscle, it is too heavy to be healthy. These days he looks about 300 pounds, and is less cut, however he does look "healthy". look up the "asterix at the olympics" interview with him on youtube.
He still looks 6'10"+, especailly next to normal sized people.
Predator said on 16/Feb/08
You are right about the boots. He is a 6 foot 10 monster.
He had flat boots indeed.
But do you think he would do it good in MMA or UFC. But he is not to old to get his 1995 strength back. He is 37. And Phil Pfister won the WSM in 2006. He was 35 at the time. So I think he can get his 1995 strength back.
Supermanfan380 said on 16/Feb/08
I think he is a little old to have his 1995 strength back. He did win the world strength championships at the highland games then. That is a different contest than the WSM, with similar events.
Bakc to the height subject, as evidence that Nathan Jones had "flats" boots see this video:
Click HereHis feet look very flat there, and that is a sharp difference with the way Kane's boots look. There is No "wedge" under Jone's feet.
Alex said on 15/Feb/08
265lbs is the max weight in the UFC? I didn't know that. I don't think I've seen a superheavyweight fight in UFC yet.
Whats the cruiserweight range? 190-210lbs? I'd be in that range at 200lbs.
Predator said on 12/Feb/08
265 is the weightlimit of ufc for heavyweight. But for Super heavyweight there is no limit. And do you think he will do it good in UFC. I think he will. After some strenght training, so that he has his WSM 1995 strengt again, and his 2 blackbelts. He will do it very good.
mma fan said on 12/Feb/08
there was no weight limit in heavy weight devision in pride(pride does not exist anymore). UFC heavy weight devision has weight limit of 265. Brock lesnar had to cut a bit to make 265, he weighted 274 few days before the weigh in.
Supermanfan380 said on 11/Feb/08
UFC weight limit is 265, is it not?
Predator said on 11/Feb/08
The pride fight was a fake fight also. In real life he would have defeated that slow sumo wrestler. He is also a black belt in 2 martial arts... so he would do fine in the ufc. But maybe it is better if he returned to wsm and the ufc, so that he has more power.
nobody said on 10/Feb/08
Jones would be crap in the ufc, he fought in pride and got subbed quick by a summo wrestler, he and Lesnar should stick to fake fighting(wwe)
Supermanfan380 said on 8/Feb/08
If Jones were to return, first thing they would do is send him back to OVW to get back in shape.
He is not in the kind of shape he was in from novermber of 2003 through 2004 anymore, where he was around 330-340 pounds and very lean too.
These days he looks about 300 even, and about 16% bodyfat, as he has not been training much with weight anymore, as he understands the risks of being 300+ pounds.
I dunno, if he comes back, they would likely want him to come back in the same shape he was in from Nov 2003. When he came back to TV from OVW the first time, I was like "what happened to him!?!", he looked 40 pounds heavier than he was durring the Undertaker angle.
Big Show said on 6/Feb/08
Click HerePredator, it's featured on several wrestling news boards that Jones might return to the WWE. Nothing is confirmed yet though!
Predator said on 4/Feb/08
I am not sure, but I think he is a blackbelt in Mau Thai, and some form of Karate, maybe Taekwondo.
But I am not sure, I thought I've read it on internet.
And in one video on youtube they said he could lift more than 3 times his own body mass. He was aout 330 pounds. So that is 990 pounds.
And Big Show, how do you know he might return to WWE.
I would love to see hem wrestle again, but it would also be cool if he returned to WSM again.
On youtube is a video "asterix at the olympics". You can see him on part 2.He is not very lean anymore.
Big Show said on 4/Feb/08
Apparently Nathan Jones is in talks with WWE again about a possible return. Most wrestling journalists are not so thrilled about it, as they call Jones one of the least talented wrestlers the WWE ever had.
Supermanfan380 said on 2/Feb/08
Nathan is too heavy for UFC, and he does not stay in shape year round any more either. He still over 300 pounds however, not the ripped 330 he was for Troy, and not even close to the 350+ he was for WSM, but he is still way over the UFC limit of 265 pounds.
Predator, what martial arts does he have blackbelts in? And where did you hear he can lift "more than" 400kg? So far as I know 400 even was his best ever deadlift of only 1 rep too.
Alex2 said on 30/Jan/08
Nathan is truly a guy you wouldnt wanna mess with lol, he should try for UFC like Lesnar maybe.

Nathan is 6 10. And he can deadlift more than 400 kilo's. And he is a blackbelt in 2 martial arts.

So... I am still waiting to know of at least one person who truly believes that Jones has 4 inches on Sid... Anyone?? I think we all know it's impossible. Nash himself never had that much height over Sid. I really wanted the chance to see them both in the same ring one day to prove my point...

its because undertaker uses pretty thick heels on his shoes nathan jones doesnt

Supermanfan380 said on 13/Jan/08
I could be wrong on this, because it has been a while since I read it, and it was in a magazine (milo 1996?) like a decade ago, maybe a little more, but it said his BP was 275 kg, DL was 400 kg, and his SQ was 360 kg. You can convert that to the English system if you want.
None of those lifts would be WR

Nathan jones is a big dude, if hes 6'8(as said by viper) then that will make tony jaa on the protector 5'4. jaa is 5'6 in real life.
and i have seen jones in person aswell, he is big, slighty bigger than my brother(6'6)

i reckon he is 6'10 aswell, everyone says it, he says it, looking at him says it comparing him with other people says it.
he was even taller than matt morgan on wwe and about an inch taller than undertaker, who btw both made a cool team.

Supermanfan380 said on 21/Sep/07
He is right, and it is well known that your spine expands at night, so height is never consistent for anyone.
Check yourself right out of bed, and you will be over 6’6”, more like 6’7” and some change.
People of average height, and in good spinal health will expand about ½” to 1” at night, and really tall people, over 6’6” will usually expand about 1” to 1.5” but the extra height will be gone within about 2 hours of waking up.
Most of the wrestlers being compared are NOT from pictures taken at their house, having their morning coffee, but are from when they are at an event, usually afternoon, so they have already been “compressed”.
Jones says he is 6’10”, and has said he is 6’10” on multiple occasions. WSM listed him as 6’10”. Jones was taller than 6’7” Magnus by a solid 3”-4”. Sometimes the WWE would announce him at 7ft, yet other times 6’10” possibly because Nathan kept on saying such (and its hard to say a guy is 7ft when he keeps yapping 6’10” to everyone).
I will take that all into consideration, and say a solid 6’10” and possibly some change for Nathan Jones. I would guess his weight around 300 pounds when he was first in WWE, and 330-340 pounds after he got back from OVW (think “team Lesnar” if you don’t remember).
Tower66 said on 9/Sep/07
I met Jones at an airport back in 2004. By far the tallest 'muscular guy' I ever saw in person. I'm 6-6, and when I asked him how tall her was he said "6-10 in my barefeet, but even taller when I wake up".
Seeing him in person is crazy. He is not normal. I lift weights but I am still skinny, and he is a gorilla, but he was much taller than me. I felt not only short but like a toothpick too.
Alex said on 25/Aug/07
You lose more height in the day when you're working a physical job or working out with weights. Thats why I lose a full inch throughout the day.
Jason said on 22/Aug/07
Lugging around all that extra muscle gained from heavy weightlifting and you know what else wouldn't be conductive to longevity for anyone, let alone him. Not to mention consuming thousands of calories en masse. Good to hear he's made the right decision for his long term health. Obviously a smart bloke -- I've read one of his hobbies is building computers!
Dave said on 14/Aug/07
6'10 is fair for jones, give or take an inch... at that height alot of it is down to posture.... either way, he could pass for 6'10 ANY day.... even if hes only 6'8-6'9... he has a 6'10 look about him besides... if he stands straight he isnt much shorter than big show, and hes a shade taller than a supposed 6'9-6'10 matt morgan (remember matt had spikey hair and jones was bald, yet jones still looked taller)
Icehole73 said on 8/Aug/07
I just looked at the photo of Conan and Jones. Conan looks short for a 7 footer next to Jones. When next to the Undertaker, Jones looks about 6'9.5. Just my opinion and I'd give him 6'10".

He may have shrunk a bit over years but I can't see him under 6'9 now ( though I think 6'10 is still a fair estimation)

I never thought that UT was 350, ever, but with bodyfat, sure. Jones had bigger muscles than UT EVER had, and he was billed at 330, but in interviews said 295-300. Has has said he has been as heavy as 350 when he was not really ripped though at the time he had more of a powerlifters build. No six pack at that weight but strong as all hell.
Ben said on 25/Jul/07
Jones appears 6,10" to me, seems to be around 330lbs. I remember reading an interview with the undertaker in 99 or 2000 where he was talking about his ministry of darkness days and saying he was out of shape and got upto 350lbs, he's cut up alot since then and looks 280ish. 350s not ridiculous for a guy 6,7 or 6,8...And he's a lot bigger when you stand next to him, i met him in 94 when he looked thin on tv and he a huge bone structure and a giant head that made him appear smaller, theres so many variables to take into account when guessing hight and weight.
meathead320 said on 4/Jul/07
So couldn't Matt have been 5" taller than your friend? I mean you got this thing down to 0.5" which is kind of a small increment.
Then there is the fact that most people are another full inch taller, especially tall people, right when they wake up from bed.
So given that, Morgan could be 6’8.5” which I will call 6’9” as estimating within 0.5” is ridiculous, and when he gets out of bed 6’10” or very close to it.
Taller people also have a smaller% of height for an inch, so a 6’10” and 6’4” guy, 6” will look like less than 6” in a picture, as 6” for them is a smaller% of their height than ours.

i'm 5'11 barefoot. well i estimated morgan first standing up next to him. I first got a pic with him; then i estimated him next to my friends (he was approx 4.5" taller than my 6'4 friend) and then i was talking to him for a while (nice guy)
There was a basketball team in the same hotel at the very same time (first time i ever met cheerleaders, lol) and i can't remember any of them being taller than morgan, (they all passed by him because he was standing in the one spot for about 20 minutes)
Morgan didn't have wrestling boots on btw, it would have looked funny if he did though :)
meathead320 said on 3/Jul/07
How tall are you, Vegas?
You may have met Morgan, but did you measure him? That, and it is hard to tell which of them is close to the camera in a picture that does not show their feet.
If they have wrestling boots on, then it can be very hard to tell who is what barefoot.
Like I said before, I will give these guys the benefit of the doubt until I see concrete proof, like a mugshot (unaltered) of them being shorter.
Vegas said on 3/Jul/07
hi meathead good to hear from you man. you have been the source of a bit of controversy on this site, not least from me for a while now ;)
personally i don't believe nathan jones is a full 6'10. I met matt morgan face-to-face (the pictures have been posted; i will post the video in the next few days) and he was around the 6'8 mark in sneakers but not quite 6'9 (6'8.25-6'8.5). Jones was about 0.5" taller than Morgan based on photos of the two outside of the ring (i have a number and will post them tomorrow).
I first saw Jones in November 2001 at the WWA event where the guy announced him as 7'1 and he looked like a monster from the barrier. When he joined the WWE he did not look impressive (height wise) at all though, i was expecting him to tower guys like the undertaker (especially seeing as he towered the supposed 6'7 Magnus Samuelsson) but he didn't.
meathead320 there is a big problem with second hand accounts. My friend for example is 6'4 (claims 6'5 himself) and thinks everyone is shorter than him. When he met kane he told all his friends he was about the same height or no more than 1" shorter than kane. Of course i had the photos and the videos to prove there was 3".
meathead320 said on 3/Jul/07
One of the big problems I have found with the way we are getting our heights estimated, is that we have been playing the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game to determine height. "so and so is such tall compared to who, and so they must be this tall compared to so and so, and this is their real height". Not very good math because we can loose or gain a full inch every time we do that.
meathead320 said on 3/Jul/07
I meant never seen a picture with any one "taller" than himself. "shorter" was a typo. ;-/)
meathead320 said on 3/Jul/07
Vegas summons me?
Surprising to some but I have re-considered my stance on Jones’s height. There are several reasons for it, but not least of which was meeting seeing people he has been compared to in person, not he himself, but a couple guys I have seen in pictures with them, who I know the height of. My Wife’s cousin is 6’6”, legit, and he has met Jones, he said Jones towered over himself. I know that will not hold weight with the people here, but I have to say that I will give Jones 6’10” until I see concrete proof he is shorter.
Around a year ago I e-mailed Conan Stevens asking about Jone’s height, seeing as I had never met Jones before, and one of the people I got his height estimate from has a personal beef with Jones. According to Stevens, Jones is about 2” shorter than he himself is.
I have never saw a picture of Stevens with any one shorter than himself, and now I have been told by other sources that Jones is taller than I pegged him at. Sometimes I was too conservative, and I will just give the guy the benefit of the doubt now until I see real proof of him being shorter.
The guy who told me that Jones was more like 6’6” had a personal problem with Jones because of the way he exited the wrestling business, and Ben had been part of it at one time as well. He hates Jones. So any info I got from him would be severely undercutting Jones any way. I learned to never get info about a guys stats from someone who dislikes him. That is not a good way to get objective information.
Vegas said on 3/Jul/07
that first photo conan has uploaded with 5'10 listed Damian Mavis is interesting. If Mavis is a legit 5'10 (which i don't think he is looking at that photo) both jones and stevens comes out at approx 6'11.5" or so.
Mavis looks alot shorter next to jones than i did next to morgan
Jason said on 3/Jul/07
He says he's 214cm on his site but claimed 212cm here in Australia when he was ''7-foot Thunder''. He's neither.
Vegas said on 3/Jul/07
i wonder what our friend meathead320 will make of these photos??
meathead has been going on and on about how jones is only 6'6 and stevens is a legit 7'0, well i for one don't see 6" there; its 1" max in one photo and they look the same height in the other photo. Looking at those photos Stevens looks around 6'10 if Jones is around 6'9 (my estimation seeing as he was no more than 0.5" taller than Matt Morgan).
that claim of stevens as being the tallest bodybuilder-actor of all time is seriously under threat now looking at those photos (i would say Dalip singh would have him by a couple of inches)
Supermanfan380 said on 2/Jul/07
I know this is about Nathan Jones, but I just had to add this about Noah Steere, seeing as he has been brought up to compare to Jones.
Odd thing is, Noah Steere looks so much bigger in person at expos like the Arnold Classic, that it makes you think his claimed 6'6" and 335-350, is really a joke of his, and that he could really be 6'9" and close around 380 pounds, rumor has it he had gotten just a hair under 4-hundo at one point. Not sure what one earth would make a guy say he is smaller than he really is, but if you ever see him in person and listen to his sense of humor (cool as hell too), it makes you wonder if it is an inside joke. Hes at “least” 6’6” and 350.
Even Mark “Conan” Stevens claims on his site that Noah is the biggest bodybuilder ever, and Conan is a monster in his own right at 7'0.25" (tallest bodybuilder-ACTOR of all time), he is built like Jones, around the same weight, maybe 2" taller than Jones is, but between them it is not a big difference.
That is also proof Jones being about 6’10”, as in pictures with Conan, they are very close in height. Conan has them up on his site here:

yeah sorry about that, i keep thinking 198 is 6'7'', yeah 198 is 6'6''. SOrry about the mistake.
Viper said on 20/Jun/07
Im automatically downgrading everyone by an inch that the 6-7 guy says since he has 6-6 in his screen name :)
Jason said on 20/Jun/07
Hang on a moment ... you're 6'7'' but your screen name is 198andstillgrowing?
198andstillgrowing said on 20/Jun/07
In my opinion, the following height of WWE wrestlers. Big Show at 6'11' now (7'0'' peak), Nathan Jones at 6'9'' (HIs height in PRIDE FC) although i would give him half inch advatage, Kane at 6'8'', Taker at 6'7.5'', Great Khali (7'05'' to 7'1''), Matt Morgan at 6'9'', The Rock (i've met him when he was in Melbourne Australia) at 6'3'', Goldberg 6'2.5'', Brock Lesnar at 6'2'' and Batista at 6'3''. I'm 6'7'' so i had quite alot of height on the rock 4 inches top.
Jason said on 18/Jun/07
Noah's about 6'6 1/2'', he said he's 6'7'' when he first wakes up. I don't think Jones is that much taller. Noah said practically everyone estimates him at 6'8'' or taller.
Vegas said on 18/Jun/07
Alex; what about that dude who claims to be friends with steere and posted that steere said he was just 1" shorter than wight. that same guy said nathan jones was 6'11; making wight approx 4" shorter than jones in reality
Alex said on 18/Jun/07
Nathon Jones actually reminds me of Norah Steere the bodybuilder and he was 6'7 335lbs going this bodybuidling magazine I just picked up. Jones is just a taller version of him I think.

Have a look at the height difference between Tony Jaa and Nathan Jones although Tony is in a low stance at 56 seconds.

Vegas said on 18/Jun/07
Alex; personally at this particular moment in time; i think jones is 6'9. he looked too short next to wight to be 6'10 imo.
They measure people in prison now??? don't know how much credit i would give to those type of measurements though. Big show has 7'2 down as his measured height when he was booked so............
Viper said on 18/Jun/07
Vegas called me a bully on here :)
Jason said on 17/Jun/07
Alex, I've heard 202cm (which is 6'7 1/2'') was Nathan's measured height in jail at age 19. Though this is completely unconfirmed...
Jason said on 17/Jun/07
He also said 6'11'' *give* or take a cm. lol. Not that you needed to read into that to know this fella was attempting to take the more gullable here for a ride!
Alex said on 17/Jun/07
Thorgrim could be 6'11 but we haven't seen a picture with him and Nathon Jones though, but even without it we haven't seen where Jones looks 6'7-6'9 either. I agree with Vegas, that he's probably 6'10, 6'9 at the very shortest.
Jason said on 17/Jun/07
Man, way to lose your temper over nothing much. I didn't even abuse you. lol
Well folks, this post should confirm this dude's fudged his height by at least a foot...
Editor Rob
thor has said on Yahoo he's 6ft 10 and on celebheights he's 6ft 11. That's all I know...I've never seen a thor pic with a wrestler, but if he ever showed one, I'd question why give 2 different heights...
Jason said on 16/Jun/07
I wasn't in the cheap seats - I was in the ringside area, just not on the aisle to get a good estimate.
And I akowledged this: ''i hate being a p***k about this jason, but so far thorgrim "steve" has shown us as much evidence about his height/his meetings with wrestlers as you have about yours..... none'' when I said ''You're welcome to debate this, though, as like your opinion of his height, it's not a confirmed fact...''
I'm not the one claiming to be 7 feet tall and saying my encounters end the debates here. Oh, and a strongman and having hung out with Nathan. Come on, mate...
Brah said on 16/Jun/07
Awhile back on youtube, I saw the Nathan Jones versus Koji Kitao fight. He was billed as 6'9" in that fight.
Vegas said on 16/Jun/07
jason cmon man; in fairness you mentioned before you were miles back when you saw nathan jones, how you could estimate him from back in the cheap seats baffles me :) i was up at the barrier when i first saw jones in 2001, but i am not gonna bother with an estimation even from there. my friend still raves at how big jones looked even today after meeting kane, morgan, big show, taker in the meantime etc
i hate being a p***k about this jason, but so far thorgrim "steve" has shown us as much evidence about his height/his meetings with wrestlers as you have about yours..... none
of course thorgrim might be telling us tall tales, but the fact remains, jones is listed everywhere at 6'10 and unlike alot of ex-wrestlers most of these listings are non-wrestling listings and we have video clear as day where he is 3-4" taller than Magnus Samuelsson who is listed at 6'7.
having said all that i think Jones is shorter than 6'10 after reviewing recent evidence.
cantstop25 said on 16/Jun/07
even though I normally dont agree with jason I will here, thorgrim until you show us some pics im not going to believe your 6'11"
Alex said on 16/Jun/07
Jones was in jail. Is there any chart or sheet that would have his height down from his time in jail?
Jason said on 15/Jun/07
Thorgrim "steve" says on 14/Jun/07
''OK, of all those who seem so sure of this mans height, HOW many of you have met him?.... or know him persoanlly?.... doubt me all you like, but i dont think youll be so confident when i find the pictures and post them. hes a good 6'9.5-6'10 i know this for a FACT (that means something that is true, no questions asked) theres no way nathan is only 6'8.''
Yeah, yeah lol. I of course knew you wouldn't be able to back this up. You're not 6'11''. I know it, you know it, others here know it. I have in fact seen Nathan Jones in person and whatever he was, he wasn't 6'10''. You're welcome to debate this, though, as like your opinion of his height, it's not a confirmed fact...
Alex said on 15/Jun/07
6'8 and up its tough to estimate unless you're right near them but even then its tough unless you're in that height range. But still I think Jones is 6'9-6'10.
Thorgrim "steve" said on 14/Jun/07
thats a good point.... it is true that when you reach a certain height it is harder.... and 6' guy once thought i was 7'1!!!!, im tall.... but thats a good 5-6 cms at least there.... so your point is well taken.
its just i thought i was correct. And its a little easier when you are eye level with them.
Viper said on 14/Jun/07
Its VERY easy to overestimate a legit 6-8 man. 6-8 can look 6-10-6-11 in person depending on build. Ive done it a few times with Basketball players. When I saw NBA star Carlos Boozer at a restaraunt once, I could have sworn he was the 6-9 he was listed at. But to my shock when he got measured he came out at 6-7 1/2. Estimating guys 6-7 and over can be tough.
Thorgrim "steve" said on 14/Jun/07
sorry to have gotten angry, but im sure all of you know what its like to be SO sure you are correct, and have someone not believe you. Especially someone assuming on the power of pictures alone (which can be subject to bad angle, bad lighting, posture, standing positions etc etc)who think they know exactly what height a man is without having met him, ever.

''This should end this debate fairly quick, i am a legit 6'11 with NO SHOES ON, repeat NO SHOES ON. And i met nathan back during his body building/strongman days multiple times, hes at LEAST 6'9.5 - 6'10..... we even used to compare for fun, without shoes, and i was a maximum of one and a half inches taller than him, maybe one.... me and nathan and a few onlookers agreed on this....
so, debate over.... nathan is a solid 6'10, give or take a cm.... end of story. thanks.''
If you post a full body pic holding a piece of paper saying ''Steve@celebheights.com'' ... *then* then debate will be over. Til then... :D
I maintain 6'8'' at most.
Alex said on 12/Jun/07
Steve, yea I too believe Nathon Jones looks a legit 6'10, at the lowest would be 6'9.

Alex said on 25/Apr/07
I think Jones could be closer to 6'10 as he was billed at 6'11-7'0 but he could be wearing lifts though. So the shortest he could possibly be would be 6'8-6'8.5.
Viper said on 23/Apr/07
Jones looks 6-8 Max to me.

nathan said in an interview im 6 foot 10 350 pounds of bone crushin terror then he went and still growin and he laughed. but wwe had em listed as 7 foot 380 but thats just for show 6 10 350 is his real height.

jones is a solid 6'10, he is taller than morgan e nash imo
Alex said on 7/Mar/07
When Big SHow first came they did say he was 7'0 but sometimes 7'2 and even once I remember them saying 7'1, but after a few months they continued to say 7'2 for years up until late 2002 when they started saying 7'0 again.
anonymus said on 27/Feb/07
according to vegas morgan is 6'8.5" jones is 6,9".i agree ,but i would put morgan at a solid 6'8" no more based on the pic he provided of him standing next to morgan.

if nathan jones is 6,10" then it,s safe to say show is 7,1"
Big Show said on 15/Feb/07
Supermanfan380, you're wrong about the WWE, they really don't give a crap what wrestlers are billed at before they enter the WWE. The Big Show was billed at 7'4 in WCW, but WWE billed him at 7' when he entered the WWE. Kurt Angle was billed as 5'10/5'11 during the Olympics, yet WWE billed him at 6'2. The same with Brock Lesnar and countless other WWE superstars. Some wrestlers even change height during their run in the WWE (like Edge). I personaly have stopped tryin' to find some kind of pattern in WWE's height and weight listing, because I doubt if there is one.
Jason said on 13/Feb/07
Jones doesn't look more more than 2 1/2 inches taller than 6'5 1/2'' MMA-listed Sylvester Terkay. I've seen Jones in person before and he definitely didn't look 6'10''. WWE aren't concerned with what wrestlers have been billed at in the past in sports; they're not even concerned with what they used to be billed at in other wrestling promotions or the WWE themselves.
LV said on 31/Jan/07
He's undoubtebly 6'10". He is clearly 3 inches taller than Magnus, who is a legit 6'7".
Alex said on 12/Jan/07
Cantstop, I can see Jones at 6'9 at least. He looks taller than 6'7-6'8.
Alex said on 9/Jan/07
Big Show, I agree with most you say. I been guessed at 210-215lbs at least and I'm 200-205lbs. Muscle gives people the impression that you weigh more than you do.
