6ft2 and change peak looking at him in the 80's-90's.
Viking90 said on 3/Sep/23
Definitely 6'2 peak. Probably one of the only accurately billed wrestlers. Today probably 6'1.25.
James B 5ft8 said on 29/Mar/23
Sid could make him look 6’2 max
SeanR said on 22/Mar/23
Hi Rob,
Curious - how many inches do you think Sting has in his boots in the above pic? Looks like 2 inches at least.
He’s probably 6’3 1/2” - 6’4” there
Editor Rob
Could be near 2 inches, but I wonder if some of these wrestlers ever had custom boots with a kind of 1 inch lift...not many have admitted to it!
heightchecker34 said on 4/Dec/22
Sting and Goldberg faced each other during their primes in WCW, and Goldberg looked taller despite being bald with the same wrestling boots. Sting 6'2, Goldberg' 6'2.25.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Sep/22
187-188cm zone today is probable
Diesel1975 said on 14/Sep/22
Bang on 6’2” barefoot in his prime.
Most Legit 6'3 said on 13/Sep/22
I’d say that he was 6’2.25 in his prime and now is hovering around 6’1.5. I’d guess he was in the 220 range, but not 250.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Aug/22
Yeah Berta, I reckon those figures could work for Sting. When he was in that tag team with Warrior, he edged him out (20-30lbs lighter though) so near 189cm or him makes sense if Warrior was 187-188cm.
Today he's likely lost a fraction.
berta said on 31/Jul/22
peak maybe closer to 188,5-189 and today 187,5
Rsingh said on 19/Jul/22
189cm for his peak is fair, today he might hair under 6'2
Ben Bell said on 16/Jul/22

I got a pic with Sting as well, I measured myself bare foot and I’m 6’025 and Sting only had an inch on me. At the most I’d go 6’1.5 today.
Still a big dude with wide shoulders. One of the few wrestlers who I “marked out” for and went back to my childhood.
Like a huge geek I walked up to him saying “hey Stinger”, he looked at me like I WAS A GEEK and my friend burst out laughing at me.

Listening to the Buff Bagwell podcast.
Interestingly he’s given two heights for himself. He’s said just under 6ft and 5’10.
He mentioned telling Luger he was only 5’10 in the late 90’s, Luger replied “that’s acceptable”.
As for Sting. 6’2 peak, 6’1 today
-----------------------
Not 6'1. At the least 6'2. I'm 6'0, he was easily 2 inches taller than me.

When I saw it was Sting's Birthday yesterday, I thought, "Sting? Surely not!"
But there is another one, Steve 'Sting' Borden, and he turned 62 yesterday. I hope he had a happy time.
6ft2. 🎂🎁👌😁🍻💪😉

Jackson,
Sting is up to Nash's Mouth. Assuming Nash was as Tall as 6'9" ( lol ) , Sting would be 6'1 tops. That Picture is a bad one if you are trying to prove Sting is over 6'2.

Hi Rob,
Is there a possibility that Sting gets a peak and a current?
He does look like he hasn’t lost much height but could be as low as 6’1.5” today (Same as Triple H).
berta said on 11/May/20
maybe 1/4 over this peak and 1/4 under it by now
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Apr/20
I believe he could've been a bit over this in his prime
SeanR said on 8/Oct/19
Easily 6’2 peak.
Nowadays probably at 6’1.5”, same as Triple H.
He’s one of the few wrestlers up there in age that hasn’t lost much
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 23/May/19
Looking 6ft1-2 today
RP said on 18/Apr/19
Rob,
Steve “Sting” needs a peak & a current.
Peak: 6’2.25”
Current: 6’1.5”
IMO
Ben Bell said on 26/Mar/19
Found a pic of Stingers boots. Certainly a good boost whether deliberate or not.
Click Here
Ben Bell said on 26/Mar/19
I just didn’t see him as 6’2. The guy I was with who was measured that morning as bang on 6’2.5 and had a footwear disadvantage to Sting and his monster boots had 1” on Sting.
With me (also measured that morning) Sting had 1” tops so I’d give him 6’1.5 but not 6’2.
He was announced at 6’2 in the early 90’s. 25+ years ago yes but I think he’s lost a little height.
Also I’m not a
troll on here who downgrades everyone. Some of my favourite wrestlers ever have been shorter than expected. Sting, Warrior, Goldberg etc. Others I’ve met have been taller, Hogan, Jesse Ventura, The Mountie, Tito Santana all were bigger than I expected.
I’ve looked to find a pic of Sting with his boots on the day, I don’t think it’s possible to buy boots with a bigger boost.
Matt Haines said on 24/Mar/19
Sting is a legit 6'2 guy I met him today and me and my buddy are both around the 6'1 range and me and sting both had thick boots on

Me at 6’025 with Sting who had min 0.5” footwear advantage.
With the photo tilt corrected I’d give him a strong 6’1 barefoot

miko said on 12/Mar/19
I think his safer less crazy style of wrestling will have saved him from the usual ravaged bodies most wrestlers have.
miko said on 10/Mar/19
I actually saw Sting up close at Comic Con Liverpool, no photo's unfortunately but he looked every inch of 6'2.
I was half expecting with all the downgraders currently on this site that he would be 5'11 or something crazy but he is actually the height I'd expected him to be.
I don't think he's lost any height at all since his prime, he still has great posture for a man who is 60 in 10 days time.
Editor Rob
He might have lost a fraction, but maybe there are a few select wrestlers who scrape through their 50's with not any noticeable loss...must be rare though.
Ben Bell said on 9/Mar/19
Sting was wearing the big black military style boots, rubber and canvas.
Ben Bell said on 9/Mar/19
Just met him today at Liverpool Comic Con. big boots, I’d say a very strong 6’1, could pass for 6’2.
Went with a 6’2.5 friend who also got a photo and met him, my friend had 0.5” on Sting and a footwear disadvantage.
Very cool guy, perfect posture.

Luger was around 6ft3 maybe today a little under that

I was taller than Luger in 1988 or 1989. He was not ever the full 6'3". Not barefoot anyway
Dan Trojan said on 12/Oct/18
I met sting and I can say he looked every bit of 6'2" of course he was in his gear so there might of been a bit of a boost but I didn't pay attention to them so I can't say for sure
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 30/Aug/18
Luger was around 6ft3 maybe today a little under that
62B said on 4/May/18
Maybe 6'2" peak. But I can tell you this. Luger seemed about a full inch taller than Sting. I know for fact that a peak Luger was no more than 6'2 3/4". Maybe not even that tall.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 23/Apr/18
189cm peak, 187-188cm today
Leno said on 16/Apr/18
Sting's peak was 188, but, I believe he haven't lost a full cm, maybe he did, due to neck injuries, but I doubt it, probably 187 today at the worst case.
Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 26/Jan/18
Best case 186.5cm today
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Jan/18
187cm is arguable, not sure he looks as low as 186cm
Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 25/Jan/18
@Agent Orange
I agree. 186 is where I put him as well, as he looks similar to Triple H who's also 186 today
Click Here
Agent Orange said on 24/Jan/18
He is probably 186 today and 188 peak.
miko said on 22/Jan/18
He still looks close to 6'2.
His peak is debatable, I'm not sure he was much over 6'2 if he was so maybe 6'2.25 prime is possible. Half an inch loss at nearly 60 isn't too bad given a long career. Maybe 6'1.75 today.
Hogan was look at least 1.5' taller than him last week, but Hulk still clears 6'3 in good posture IMO.
RP said on 21/Jan/18
Rob, I think he needs a peak & current height.
Peak: 6'2" to 6'2.25"
Current: 6'1.25" to 6'1.5"
IMO
Looked 1.75" shorter than Hogan in most pics from a few days ago in Arizona.
HeightcrazyRed6ft said on 21/Jan/18
6´2" peak, always worked with big soles.
about 6´1" today, usually looks 3-4" taller than 5´9-9.5" Flair and 2" shorter than Hogan today

Lex Luger’s peak has to be 6’3”. Looked no more than an inch taller than peak Sting.
________________________________________________________________________________--
I was in the Army at the time. I usually measured 6'3" and occasionally I would measure 6'3 1/4". Measurements were always taken in our socks. Luger was for sure shorter than me. I immediately turned to my friends when he walked by us and they verified that I was taller. He was at least a half inch shorter, maybe even a full inch.

_________________________________
Lugers foot wear is always suspect for me. When I saw him back in he was in the NWA he was not as tall as me. I was always measured between 6'3" and 6'3 1/4" back then. I believe Luger was being billed as 6'4". He seemed more 6'2.5" to me. With 6'2 1/4" joeyb33 Sting looks maybe 6'05" today. He might not even be that tall.

heightchecker34 said on 7/Nov/17
6'2 is correct, Rob. And he has maintained that height pretty well, and he is nearly 60. He seemed taller than Triple H at their Wrestle Mania match up a couple of years ago. (Triple H looked 6'1.5) I think 6'2 is the perfect wrestling height. You would never be called a small guy, but you can still hold your own against taller foes, and not seem far fetched.
Sean said on 7/Nov/17
Thanks for adding Rob. You mentioned in a previous post somewhere you thought maybe peak 6’2.5”?
Editor Rob
he could look that, although his footwear wasn't what you'd call 'thin'!
