Ted DiBiase still describes himself as being 6'4" peak. He never looked more than 6'3", which was his billed height in the WWE, where most wrestlers' heights were embellished.

So Dibiase was listed as 6’3” and if you think they’d list him at his real height you’re in fantasy land. He’s almost certainly close to the same height now that he was then.
Men don’t generally lose much height maybe an inch max and most of that comes in extreme old age and then only with people who have osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is something weight training and being a male makes way less likely to occur. 🤷🏻♂️
________________________________________-
I was 6'3 1/4" when I stood next to DiBiase in the early 1990's while we were working out. Ted had normal gym shoes on, and we were about the same height. The chances Ted was working out in lifts is unlikely. While I agree most wrestlers' heights are exaggerated, and a lot of them wear lifts, I doubt either is true in Teds case.

Just got to say, all this extreme peak height loss is nonsense. The reason it’s so common with the wrestlers isn’t wear and tear or back surgeries… it’s that they all had inflated height listings and wore lifted boots. Period. These exaggerated heights were more extreme in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Because of the lack of cameras and the internet being in its infancy they (WWF and WCW/NWA, etc…) could get away with these exaggerated heights. If you were a normal size guy 5’9”-6’ you’d be listed an inch taller than you were in boots. Example: Rick Flair was maybe 5’10” (close to average height for a male) and wore lifted boots for an extra 2” making him shoes on 6’ so his wrestling height was 6’1”. You couldn’t exaggerate normal size guys too much. Where it got crazy were the ‘giants’. These guys were WAY shorter than most people realize. 5+ inches of exaggerated height was common for the giants.

Ted was nothing under a solid 6ft3 peak and you could make the case for 6ft3¼.
Easy 3in on Virgil (still looks around 6ft today)

He's about 6'0.5" With ROb. He is 61 years old with Rob. Prolly was around and 1-1.5" taller in his prime. Not a Full 6'3, but pushing 6'2".
______________________________________________
Ted was my height in the early 90's. I stood right next to him at the YMCA. I was a tick over 6'3" (Army measured). I am 53 now and stand a tick over 6'2" on a good day. I actually measured 6'1 7/8" at my DOT physical last December. But that was after a 11-hour day at work. While me losing a full inch is a lot, it looks to me like Ted has lost even more. Something in the 2"-2.5" range. Crazy height loss.

6'3.25" peak, at least from what I could tell when he was younger. He seems to have suffered from some crazy height loss over the his life.

That's an unusually high height loss - 2.25". Is Ted old enough to have lost that much or has he had an accident, resulting in the loss?
Maybe Ted is older than he looks.
Peak - 6ft3; Today's height - 6ft0.75

Hogan was 6’3” to 6’3 1/2”... I couldn’t give Ted more than a peak height of 6’1”. As far as all the height loss due to injury claims... it’s rare that much height is lost. Think about it... why would they repair a joint or spine and have it made shorter!? That’s ridiculous and not factual. More often you actually gain (restore) a slight amount of height from such operations.
______________________-
I've seen Hogan at his peak in person and I saw Dibiase in the early 90's. Dibiase was my height at the time, 6'3". Actually a tick over. But this was early morning in the gym. Dibiase could have been a guy that lost 1/2"-3/4" throughout the day and ended up a little under 6'3" in the evening. I never loose more than 3/16" through out the day. Hulk I saw in 1980, He looked to be an inch taller or so than my 6'4" Grandfather. Today he looks about 6'2 1/2" to me.

It’s very rare FriedChicken. Much more likely to be claims heard by prowrestlers and people who live in fantasy glory days. Men in particular don’t shrink very much. Spine surgeries almost always increase height. If you look at these wrestlers at their peak they’re always wearing lifted boots. After 20 years of walking around wearing high heels these guys claim height loss when they retire in order to be comfortable in thier elder years.

For guys like wrestler I can believe large height loss is much more likely than with actors. So probably was close to his claimed height.

I met Dibiase in 2008 and again in 2016 and in the those 8 years there was significant height loss, a lot id say from posture. He's now very stooped.
In 08 I'd have said a solid 6'2. In 2016 he was at max 6'1.
he may have lost even more height today.

Bobby. To me its crazy. I mean that's a lot of height to loose. But for sure Ted was at least my height in the early 90's. Of all the wrestlers I've seen up close, I think Ted is the one I am most confident about. I was eye to eye, and I had mirrors. We were essentially the same height. I think he may have even edged me out, but he did have that poofy hair. And I was every bit of 6'3" barefoot at the time. I think Ted and Hulk have lost about the same amount of height.

@Sotiris. We were both in regular gym shoes. Maybe his were newer and had a thicker sole, but I don't know that. Even if he did I doubt it would have made that much of a difference. His hair was poofy while mine is flat so that could contribute to me thinking he edged me out. He was in my opinion a little taller in the shoes he was wearing than Duggan was in work type boots. Barefoot to barefoot I bet Dibiase was a good inch taller Than Duggan.

Ted can have 6ft0.75 for today's height and 6ft3 for his peak. He is leaning inwardly but, being a wrestler, I imagine he's been measured as many times as he's been to the toilet - many, many times! 🤣🚽

Check out Billy Gunn’s page and you’ll see me standing closer to camera than him. The camera angles and positioning really make a difference!

I think 6ft1-2 range for Wyatt personally. IRS looked a decent 6ft2 in his prime (possibly near 189cm) and is still roughly that mark today. DiBiase I put at a solid 6ft3

Assuming Luke Harper is the full 6'5 (and I believe he is), no way Wyatt could be 6'3

Wyatt usually looks 6'1" or so. I've never seen him look as tall as 6'3" though, not once.

IRS at 189cm potentially pushes DiBiase closer to 192cm. Ted looked 2in taller than Vince in the 80's-90s.

And at peak, I'm guessing IRS was 6'2 1/2, give or take a quarter. And wasn't much smaller than DiBiase. And today, he would edge out Ted. I'm guessing even today he could still linger around 6'2, since he appears taller than his 6'1 son Bray Wyatt

He's lost A LOT of height. He used to be taller than I.R.S. (Mike Rotunda) and a few years ago they made a cameo appearance on RAW and Mike was taller than Ted. He had neck surgery, back, hip and knee I believe. He was a legit 6'3" man and at times could even pass for 6'4", but today I give him MAX 6'1" and that's being generous.

I don't know. He could be as much as 6" taller than Rob in that picture. He's seriously hunched over and still looks at least 4" taller. If Rob's a tad over 5'8", then I could definitely see Ted still being in the 6'1" range and possibly 6'2". He was probably about 6'3" in his prime; maybe 6'3.5". Didn't he email someone on this site claiming his peak was actually 6'3.75"? Perhaps that was his peak morning height and he rounded up to 6'4"?

If you only see Ted losing height and not me, then it is a biased observation because I am clearly not standing at 5ft 8 here ;)

No Robert, I get that you are trying to match his posture. Regardless, he has you by about 5". If you are a tad over 5'8" in this pic, he is at least 6'1". He definitely looks more than .75" taller than Bret Hart did next to you. I would put him at 6'1"-6'1.5" now and 6'3" in his prime. Buy hey, that's just my opinion.

Every time I recall seeing him next to IRS in promos or pictures they seemed almost identical with DiBiase having a small edge. I'd buy 6'3 peak for Ted and maybe slightly over 6'2 peak for IRS (Mike Rotunda). Footwear in pro wrestling makes it very tough to tell though, credit to Rob and the site for narrowing down a lot of the heights.

Ted was closer to 6'4" than 6'3" for probably just about his entire in ring career and after neck surgery, bulged discs, getting up there in age, etc he's basically 6'1" now. I recently discovered that bulged discs can really cut down on height. I have a friend who is 35, claimed 6'1" from high school up until maybe a couple years ago. He was never 6'1", maybe 6' on a very very good day, but I've seen him slip down to essentially 5'10" over the last several years. Discs, plus drastic weight changes, already lost almost 2" in height. It really hit him when he hadn't seen my best friend, who is close to 6'4", in many years, and his first reaction was "Wow did you get taller?" and I said "No dude, you've shrunk, a lot."

I guess its possible he had a slight footwear advantage, but none that I noticed. We were both in gym shoes as we were working out. I was actually surprised to see him that tall.

Editor Rob in a case like this it's matching posture, in an ideal world every actor would stand normal, if they don't then I can drop posture to match if I don't think asking for a pose will work.
I don't know if you ever watched The video in which I talked a bit about getting photos.
For instance with Harry Treadaway, a guy in front of me I watched with Harry and saw harry leaning in with him so thought better chance to get him standing better was back-to-back and I think it worked out perfectly. Similarly with jocko sims, that was ideal for a navy salute so we are both in good posture mode...

Editor Rob if I stood up straight too, he'd still be 4 inches taller...but then you think I'm standing straight here, which says a lot :) Ted is standing no worse than me...here is me standing well vs how I'm standing with Ted Click Here...about 4cm poorer than how I could stand.
which makes sense when you see of course Ted beside that
Near 6ft Crew and see the same guy beside Alberto Del Rio and Sam Jones to give a sense of actual 6ft 2 guys...

I knew he lost some height because I thought he looked an easy 6ft3 in his prime, now with Rob just 6ft1. Besides that he hasn't aged too much.

So Rob, you meeting him in person and thus being able to accurately gauge his stature isn't enough to give him a peak and current height?

Why the 6'3" peak? At 61 he could have lost averagely 0.25"
[Editor Rob: 20 years in a ring can do a lot of cartilage and disc damage. I think a fair whack of wrestlers by 60's lose far more than the average. How much he's lost is still debatable.
]
From this point of view, if Ali is 6'1-1.5" today he would have been 6'4" or more at peak...
I think 6'2" for this guy is just a nice gift! 1" at 61 is too much!

I think he could pass for 6'3" as he is clearly not standing straight in the picture. This is a very rare example of WWE billing someone shorter than they really are. A possible concern though Rob - Did he buy you off?!

Editor Rob if he measured over 6ft 1 I'd be very shocked, you can see him with Randy Orton as well.
Crew member who is near 6ft: DiBiase and Brian J Smith (another six footer).
That's the kind of height DiBiase looks in person, roughly 6ft, as I say he might still measure near 6ft 1 though, but he's miles off 6ft 3 in person.

He actually looked over 6'4'' standing next to my dad is 6'1''. I do believe Dibiase is 6 foot 3 these days and minimum 6'2 3/4".. All these people saying 6'1'' and 6'2'' are nuts. He slouches alot.. When he stands straight up, the man is at least 6'3''.

I would have guessed he was shorter than this...he was noticeably shorter than Daniel Tosh on Tosh.0 and Tosh is listed as being 6'3...he doesn't strike me as someone who would exaggerate his height. All I know is Daniel Tosh is very tall, and Ted Dibiase was shorter. I couldn't find a still of the two of them together, but take a look at the episode sometime. I suppose I should point out that Daniel was further away from the camera, and I guess I'm not sure if that would make him appear taller or not...

Actually it looks like he is the same height as the Spoiler and if he is shorter, it's like less than half of an inch which would make him around 6'3 3/4" which is how tall the man, himself said he is.. Dibiase Sr.has poor posture which makes him look shorter and only stands straight up at times.

That is true about Morgan. But to be fair to Ted, he was never known for his size and height like Morgan is. So he would have less reason to lie in my opinion. Plus, Dibiase stacked up to Jesse Ventura really well. Jesse claimed 6'4" for himself and claims 6'3" now. Recently he was on the Howard Stern Show and Howard, who is 6'5" himself, mistook an old Ventura for 6'5". I seriously doubt Ventura was anything under 6'3.5" in his prime and Dibiase looked about his height. I believe the 6'3.75" claim. He looked close enough to it for me not to question. Also, if he was lying, why wouldn't he have just said 6'4"? Maybe that's the genius of it...

Ted Dibiase came out about 6 inches shorter than Andre, 2 inches shorter than Hogan, 2 inches taller than Jesse Ventura, and 4 inches taller than Randy Savage. It's my belief that he was just under 6'4".

I disagree Anonymous. our good friend Ola also thinks that Dibiase was only 6'1.5". Ultimate Warrior is listed on this site at 6'1.5". here is some evidence that show that Dibiase measured closer to height with Hulk Hogan then Ultimate Warrior did. here is Dibiase and Hogan Click Here

Robby, I think the reason Dibiase wasn't billed 6'4" is because he is a type of 6'3". My dad is 6'3.5" and just refers to himself as 6'3". I am 5'9 2/3" but I just call myself 5'9".
There are other guys like Rick Rude and Mick Foley who seem to come out about a half an inch over their bills. I don't know why this happens, but it does. Really, there was no excuse not to bill Dibiase 6'5", given that they were billing Boss Man 6'6" and Hogan 6'8".

I do remember that Warlord and Ted Dibiase teamed in one way or another for three straight years at the Survivor Series. 1989 they teamed with Barbarian and Zeus vs. Hogan, Demolition and Jake. 1990 they teamed in the Grand Finale with Rick Martel, Hercules and Paul Roma vs. Hogan, Warrior and Tito Santana and in 1991 with Flair and Mountie vs Piper, Bret Hart, Bulldog and Virgil. I remember them to be very close in height. almost dead on. I would say Dibiase is a little bit taller. If Dibiase is 6'3 3/4" then Warlord is 6'3.5"

Robby,
I believe you. I've actually gotten Ted Dibiase at approximately 6'3.75" before. I do believe the angle slightly favors Dibiase in that staredown I posted.
I could see putting Dibiase peak somewhere between 6'3.5" and 6'4".
Out of curiousity, what do you get for the Warlord? in 1989 I got Dibiase approximately .25" taller than him.

oops I mean 2" not 2.5". so I believe that Dibiase was 6'3". not 6'2.5" like I said before.

on Ted Dibiase myspace page(yes his actual page not a fan's) it says his height is 6'3" nice pics on your photobucket page. with Dibiase I see about 2.5" between him and Hogan.

Click Here a bunch of wrestling heights I did based on Hulk Hogan. I also have many of these guys against each other. My friend and I have accumulated approximately 300 height comparisons.

you're right about Christian being under billed at 5'10" I do remember that now. yeah Christian is 6'0".
Like I said before I only see about one inch max between Ted Dibiase and the Big Bossman.
Hogan and Earthquake JT has done a lot of work with comparison's between the two Click Here and I put Hogan at 6'5" and Earthquake at what he was measured at 6'5 3/4" now Hogan could have been 6'5.5". again we're not talking about a huge amount of height difference here. definitely less then one inch in my opinion.
Electric Shock we will find out Dibiase's true height. Just give me some time on that. trust me on this one.

Hogan was taller than Quake. I have seen the pics you use to dispute that, and in them Hogan is clearly in a bent stance doing the finger wag. In their MSG match from about April, Hogan clears Quake by .25" in even boots.
Ted Dibiase isn't the only person in wrestling history to be underbilled. Christian in the late 90s was billed 5'10"; he's no shorter than 6' even. Tugboat was also underbilled at 6'3". If Tugboat was only 6'3", then Earthquake was 6'4" max. Earthquake was also billed 6'4" at one point, which we know isn't true.
I have no idea why this is done, but underbills DO happen.
Big Boss Man btw, had a pretty small forehead. Eye height has NOTHING to do with where your head ends up. Yes Boss Man's eyes are higher, but they come out completely identical otherwise.

I am still sticking to my story. just like I am sure you're sticking to yours. Dibiase had a lot of hair on the top of head which gives him added height. so he seems taller then what he is. Hogan was more then 2" taller then Dibiase. I know on this site it says Hogan was a peak 6'6". I believe Hogan was 6'5" because Earthquake was clearly taller then Hogan. Dibiase at 6'4"? I just don't see that. he was billed at 6'3" 260 pounds. Why would they under bill him? in a world where they over bill wrestlers heights dramatically. Andre at 7'4"? what a joke. he was 7 feet tall at his peak. the Big Show when he went to WCW was billed at 7'4" when he came to WWF in 1999 he was 7'2" and now they bill him at 7 feet tall which is now believable. another example is that they had Bossman billed at 6'6" 357 pounds and he is barely taller then Dibiase was, as I said earlier was billed at 6'3". hey I am only saying that Bossman is only 1" taller its not like I am saying its 3". whether my picture stills with Bossman and Dibiase are accurate is debatable. I still believe Bossman is taller because his eye level is higher and Dibiase has that afro on the top of his head.

Robby...neither of those shots have Dibiase in an equal stance with Boss Man. at the very end he stands up straight and their virtually identical.
Also the difference between Earthquake and Boss Man is NOT 2"+ it's more like 1 1/2. Earthquake is tip toeing, in superior foot wear and at a camera advantage and still doesn't come out the 2.75-2.5 you claimed.
Dibiase peak was no shorter than 6'4", and was more like 6'4.25". I've seen examples where Dibiase came out as tall as 6'4.5".
I'd be willing to go with Dibiase at 6'4", but no lower. Hogan doesn't even have 2 inches on Dibiase in their matches; are we going to bump Hogan down to 6'4.25" peak? Because that's the only way I could see Dibiase 6'2.5" peak.

Bossman Was a little bit taller then Dibiase on the Brother Love segment they had back in 1990. Click Here Click Here judging the height that Earthquake had over Bossman JT has some good comparison pics between those two Click Here I would say their is about 2.5" that Quake has on Bossman. I would put Earthquake at 6'5.5-6'6". he was actually measured at 6'5.75". Bossman 6'3"-6'3.5" Dibiase at 6'2.5" just my two cents

when bossman rejoined the wwf in 1998 he was only 35, no way did he lose 1.5 inches by 35, he was only 40 when he died

Ted Dibiase was 6'4.25" in his prime. There's a staredown where he comes out exactly even with the Big Boss Man who was 6'4.25"-6'4.5" in his prime (by the attitude era, Boss Man was 6'3"). Neither man came out a full 2 inches on Hogan.

Hey Ben don't take what Ola says seriously. Ola has a hard time respecting other people's opinions and jumps down people's throats when they think differently from him. you're not the first person who Ola has offended. you won't be the last. Ola apparently doesn't read too well about how this website is suppose to be good natured. OLA= One Lousy Attitude in regards to people's opinions with a person's height or now it seems a person religious beliefs. Rob I beg you ban this guy. PLEASE! I am a christian and I am offended! he crossed a line by attacking a person's religious beliefs. what does that have to do with Ted Dibiase's Height? you crossed the line when you attack someone's beliefs.

Was an EASY 6'3" in his prime (he claimed to be 6'4" in his prime). Stood taller than Hacksaw Jim Duggan in the early 80's. Could have dropped to 6'2" over the years.

Dibiase seemed 6'2.5 to 6'3 to me... I was totally suprised by his size and height... in his autobiography he talks about getting upto 350lbs and having health issues (IMO if dibiase could hit 350 then hogan could back in the day)
Ive met plenty of wrestlers who were much smaller then billed height, Animal, honky tonk man, christian, lance storm spring to mind... and ive met plenty who were taller... Tito santana, The mountie, Al snow....
Its so hard to judge heights on tv...

I met Dibiase and from a distance i would say he looked 6ft... Very wide body and huge head.... When you get up close he's alot taller...Probabaly between 6,2 and 6,3.

ok I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say Tugboat had foot ware advantage over the Undertaker.. Did you watch the video and see the stare down between them? how is that five inches they were looking eye to eye and granted we know that Taker has that massive forehead. I would say Tugboat at his peak 6'4". we usually disagree Ola, but its only over 1" of height most of the time. which to me isn't a big deal.

I don't think Tugboat was 6'3". I believe he was taller. he measures up really good with the Undertaker(Taker's Peak height)this match was one of the first big matches Taker had either in late 90 or early 91(he was managed by Brother Love in this match). I believe Undertaker is 6'8" peak. I honestly don't see five inches of height between the two. Tugboat wasn't wearing lifts either.Click Here all I am saying is if Tugboat is 6'3" then Taker is only 6'6" I only see about 3 inches of height between them. so with that being said go on your rant Ola. you always entertain us.

i live in jackson, ms area and was on a flight with dibiase from atlanta 2 years ago. i'm 5' 10.5" and the overall impression i had at the gate was that dibiase (now retired) was nowhere near 6' 3". also had put on some serious pounds.

Hey, just because you're short, doesn't mean you've gotta bring other guys down. During his wrestling career, Ted Dibiase was 6'4". Back surgery can cause height loss. My uncle was 6'5" fell off a ladder and broke his spine. He needed surgery to repair it and is now 6'3". Hogan had the same thing done and lost almost 3"

Ted Dibiase might have been 6'3" in his wrestling boots. I don't buy it for his height barefoot. in my opinion and that's all it is, is my opinion this why this website was created as a forum where people express their opinions. some people take it too far and insult people and say their opinion is garbage and say its "laughable" yet those same people have been exposed in having One Lousy Assessment with how they view heights. but regardless its their opinion. I believe Dibiase was 6'2" at his peak. the reason his son looked taller is because his son was in wrestling boots. Dibiase was in flat dress shoes. yes people do lose height that's fact. its a scientific fact. some people do lose height and some people don't. some people get old and their stance suffers. some people who have played physical sports later in life their stance suffers. not all people who played physical sports lose height. Dibiase is probably 6'0.5" 6'1" right now. now why would you say he has lost height? I saw a shoot interview with Dibiase and he said he had chronic neck and back problems. he had neck surgery that ended his career in 1993. I know their have been instances where some guys could have the same problem's as Dibiase and not lose height. here is the difference Dibiase was slammed on his back 300 days a year for most of his career. if I was slammed on my back for 18 years I think I would walk hunched over. Wrestling may be entertainment but the risks for injuries are higher then ever and remember their is no off season in wrestling like their is in sports.

Ted dibiase in the early nineties was indeed a tall man! 6'3'' legit is really tall for a man. whats really ironic, is that ted dibiase wasnt much shorter than the fake undertaker brian lee. dibiase had to stand with his legs spread apart to appear much shorter. so today i believe 6'2'' right on.

"no one take me seriously" atleast i can prove my claims! so danimal... when did YOU prove your claims last time?! you have dibiase at 6'3-6'4 and bret hart at 5'10... the truth(which you dont like) is that dibiase was only 2-3 inches taller than bret and ric flair. do you also remember that you had vader at 6'3 and the rock at 6'2? yet the rock was the taller one by 1 inch... and how was it again with hulk hogan?! 6'6 right... yet he wasnt even 5 inches taller than your 5'10 bret hart... go home and do your math! then maybe some ppl here will take YOU seriously"
Everyone takes Danimal seriously before we take you seriously. You have no respect for others' opinions. Why do you assume Gene Hackman lost 3-4 inches? Not all people at 70 lost that much height, if any height at al. Hogan was slammed on his back daily for over 20 years and was a steroid user.

Rob won't ban Ola, BECAUSE Ola bring A LOT of controversy to this site with his good cop/bad cop (bipolar) "ROUTINE". NO ONE takes him seriously and I don't think he even takes himself seriously. Rob won't get rid of him. As much as he bothers EVERYONE on here, he will stay, because all the rest of us are normal, but Ola.....Well, Ola is special ;).

do you have memory loss Ola??? you don't know who Will Ferrell is? Yet On July 22nd you said the following Ola says on 22/Jul/08
looked 5'11 since he was no way taller than jay leno at the tonight show. If you don't believe me look on Will Ferrell's page. I am certainly not talking any "crap" Ola! I am only pointing out what you said and making a mockery of your own words. I am sick and tired of you insulting people on their opinions. I mean scroll down on this very page and see the stuff you have said.

Ok Ola whatever you say. you're the same guy that said Will Ferrell is 5'11" you really like downgrading everybody. I have actually met some of the WCW wrestlers back in the day.1998 to be exact, at a Monday Nitro on March 30th, 1998 at the United Center in Chicago. Me and my friends knew what Hotel the wrestlers stayed at. I met Ric Flair, Lex Luger and Kevin Nash. Flair at the bar. Luger and Nash in the lobby. I am 5'9.5" barefoot. 5'10.5" with shoes. Flair was wearing dress shoes and he was taller then me. I would say 5'11 barefoot and 6' with shoes. judging from this pic that I had posted with Flair and Dibiase at 1991 Survivor Series. Dibiase had 3 inches on Flair. Click Here I would say Dibiase is 6'2" barefoot and 6'3" in boots. Dibiase was quite a bit taller then Gene Hackman who is listed at 6'2". lets say he is really 6'. then Dibiase still had Hackman by 3 inches. considering he was in his wrestling boots. probably 2 inches taller. Luger I would say was 6'3". Nash definitely 6'10" at that time. he was about a foot taller then me. absolutely huge huge man. these heights I listed for Flair, Dibiase, Nash and Luger are peak heights. Ola if you disagree, which I am sure you will. its your nature. I really don't care. no one takes you seriously anyways.

"give me a break! chris isnt even close to any 5'11 how in the heck can he be 6'1 1/2?! he havent prove he is 6'1 1/2 i believe he is 5'9 or so"
Are you that delusional? A 5'9" Chris means DiBiase is 5'10-5'10.5". Not possible.

The Guy in the picture named Chris at the top of this page says he is 6'1.5" Dibiase is clearly taller in that picture. so how is Dibiase barely 6'1"?

If you're getting slammed on your back regularly for 20+ years, you will lose a significant amount of height. Combine that with steroid use and it's only natural to lose height.

what I don't get is the guy in the picture with Dibiase, named Chris is 6'1.5" yet Dibiase is clearly taller then him. so how can Dibiase be 6'1.5"? the eye level is the same between the two. however Dibiase has a much larger and longer head.

yes Danimal flair was maybe only 5'11 or a TAD taller in his very young days. but i just cant see dibiase close to 6'3 he wasnt 3-4 inches taller than flair but i could go for 2 1/2 inches taller which puts dibiase at 6'1 1/2 peak(around same height as the warrior) and that will make IRS indeed 6'1 since dibiase was only a tad taller than him. barry windham looked 3 inches taller than rotunda which makes him 6'4, also windham was not taller than scott hall(who i also believe was "only" 6'4 tops) now we have gone full circle ;)
Derek, bret hart had nothing more than 1 inch on bulldog and bret was nothing less than 5'11 so 5'10 for bulldog is the lowest we can go
Robby, warrior is standing more hunched down so i believe they are at the same height, also warrior dont have his legs straight as dibiase has... warrior is NOT shorter than dibiase
Ola, I met many of these men you speak of. I am only 5'9.5"-5'10" (you can see that by my pics). I am a pretty wide guy though. Anyways, I have met Davey Boy Smith and he was shorter than me (MAX 5'9"). I have met Bret Hart. He was my height exactly. I have met Ted Dibiase. He was around 6'2.5"-6'3". My 6'3" friend and him were the same height. I have met Jake the Snake Roberts. He was at least 6'4". He had my 6'2" step dad by at least 2", if not 3". I have also met the Iron Sheik. He was around my height.

Flair was 5'11" peak, 5'10" today. Dibiase (who I MET in Connecticut), was a tall as my 6'3" friend. We were in line right behind him at a restaurant. My friend is 6'3" and weighed 220 pounds was identical height with Ted, but looked THIN next to him. Dibiase had at least 40 pounds on my friend. At the very least, Dibiase was 6'2.5". IRS (Mike Rotundo) was MAX 6'2" and could have been as low as 6'1". Barry Windham (who he partnered with in the mid 80's) had about 3-4" on him.

I agree with the standing of what the website says that Dibiase was 6'3" at his peak and 6'2" 6'1.5" right now. you have to remember Dibiase has had numerous surgeries with his neck and knees. which do take away height. take Hulk Hogan for example. he was around 6'5"-6'6" in his peak and now around 6'3"-6'4" right now. people says that Dibiase's son was taller then his father. however Jr. was wearing wrestling boots and Sr. was wearing dress shoes. the only way heights will be factual is if you measure the people and have photo or video evidence until then its one's opinion. I believe what I believe. if you agree good. if you don't then fine its your opinion. if you want to sit there and lecture me about why my opinion is wrong then my answer is simple I d-o-n-t- c-a-r-e!

I know that when WWF stars were on Family Feud, I wanna say Bossman and Crush were standing next to each other and Crush had 2" on Bossman. I would say 6'3.5" For Bossman in his prime. just my opinion. Click Here
