This site confirms 'Taker's DOB:

yea show has about 15 inches on mayweather. he looks 7'0. taker didnt usually wear lifts. they weight to much and are hard to move around in.
Ben the GP said on 6/Apr/08
Here's how I see it all...Taker told me he was a legit 6'7.5 or 6'8 too. also Big show is a legit 7'0 feet tall , to. he had like 14 - 15 inches on Mayweather too. 5'8 plus 15 inches equals 7 feet too. okay.
OCD too.

Im just saying he does not look 7ft tall (barefoot) He looked taller in the past and yes i believe he use to wear lifts
Anonymous said on 6/Apr/08
The Undertaker is shorter than Kane, but he's definetly 6'8, 6'9. I mean who's gonna argue with him.
Alex said on 6/Apr/08
I would think Big Show has minimum 4 inches on UT.
1punchbob said on 6/Apr/08
On the april cover of wwe mag, Taker looks huge, not much shorter than show and quite abit taller than JBL...whats going on???
Frank said on 5/Apr/08
Im not saying he is 6ft 10 but he does not look 7ft especially next to a 5ft 8 inch man and Topdweeb Show had about 3 inches on Taker maybe 4 but not 5
KingNick said on 5/Apr/08
Murray Big , if you show us just a picture of you standing next another person or a door or something, you'll have less people harassing you about your height. We don't exactly need a photo of you and 'Taker.
Alex said on 5/Apr/08
Big Show probably would have about 5 inches on UT today.
topdweeb26 said on 5/Apr/08
Frank: well then the Undertaker must be looking about 6' 5 now days then. Considering that Khali has about 6 inches on the Undertaker and Khali only has one inch on the Big Show, if Big Show is 6' 10, then the Undertaker is 6' 5.
Ray said on 3/Apr/08
IMO Show does nto have several inches on Undertaker. Show has around 4" on Undertaker IMO from past videos and photos; Khali has around 5" on Taker. Taker 6'7.5" barefoot and maybe even 6'8"; Show around 6'11.5" barefoot and Khali 7'1" barefoot.
Frank said on 3/Apr/08
Yes your right Topdweeb but he is not looking like a 7 footer @ times
He dont look 7ft next to Mayweather and he does not look 7ft next to that 6ft 1 guy on the Big Show page.....He looked alot taller in WCW MAYBE HE IS NOT WEARING HIS LIFTS ?? Hes has been looking about 6ft 10 since he came back
I could be wrong but hes not looking 7ft tall
KingNick said on 3/Apr/08
Murray, the problem isn't that no one believes you met Undertaker, the problem is that some don't believe you're in the 6'10" range. We're pretty passionate about things on here :>) just upload a picture of you standing in front of a door or with another person or something and the wolves will back off.
topdweeb26 said on 3/Apr/08
Frank: I know you don't frequent the Big Show's page that often, so I decided to come to you to ask a question I asked on Show's page. When I used to frequent this page, you told me that you believed that the Undertaker was 6' 9. You met him in person, that's what he told you and you said he looked it. Ok, but you know the Big Show has several inches on the Undertaker. So how can you say that the Big Show is not a 7-footer if you can believe the Undertaker is 6' 9?
Spike said on 3/Apr/08
thanks for the info. Ben... PEACE
Spike said on 3/Apr/08
i agree with Murray
this height decreasing crap is getting old, me personally can tell how tall someone is
take UT for this example
id bet my left arm that hes 6'8 or 6'8 1.5
and Kane 6'8 1'2 or 6'9
Alex2 said on 3/Apr/08
Ahh, ok thankyou Frank :)
Frank said on 2/Apr/08
Alex2 we were on ground that was on an upward slope and i was standing slightly behind them makeing me look alittle taller
Matheus said on 2/Apr/08
Alex2, Kane was 7 feet... he should be 6'10 or something nowdays.
not 6'8
Alex2 said on 2/Apr/08
Didnt Frank say he was also on a stoop when stood next to taker? Or that he was on higher ground or something? Lol and yea Alex I know,there is always people who claim these stupid heights but NEVER proove it. I don't thinkone of them has ever shown evidence..
Alex said on 2/Apr/08
I find it funny when people come on here and claim to be huge heights such as 6'10 plus and say they met other tall wrestlers and don't show pictures.
Jeff said on 1/Apr/08
lol Murray... try to fool someone else man.
But yeah I believe Undertaker is 6'8", next to Frank he really looks 6'8".
Alex2 said on 1/Apr/08
Undertaker-6'8 Kane- 6'8.5 It's simple and believeable. Murray please provide pics for your claim.
Ben the GP said on 1/Apr/08
Sorry SPIKE he said 6'7.5 this was like a year ago this year I have yet to see him sorry for not posting a lot...lately I can't for a odd reason too... anyway yeah so i'd say he's a legit 6'7.5 mabey 6'7.9 too. But I am not the best estimater since i'm not very tall too i'm 5'10.7 not short but not tall too....
KingNick said on 1/Apr/08
Murray Big, it would make your life a lot easier on here if you showed us a pic with you standing with someone or in front of a door or something.
Frank said on 1/Apr/08
Murray Big when i met him and he told me he was 6ft 9 I believed him because he looked Hugh but with all the evidence i dont believe he is 6ft 9 barefoot
he might be 6ft 7 to 6ft 8 Barefoot
Atoadaso said on 1/Apr/08
Murray, I won't doubt your claim, but if you don't provide pics most will disregard you here as the nature of this site. It's pretty well proven that Undertaker is not above 6'8" barefoot. Still, that could mean you are only an inch taller than him, and a difference like that can be hard to tell any difference at all considering there is around 5" of height above our eyes, the view from which we gauge height.
chris said on 31/Mar/08
Murray his not 6'9 or 6'10... kane is bigger than taker and people are saying his in the 6'7 region (ARGUEING)
Scott B. said on 31/Mar/08
I think Taker is 6'8 Barefoot. People who are down grading Big Show to 6'10 puts Taker at 6'6.
Alex said on 31/Mar/08
I think UT should be dropped to 6'7 flat on the site. That or upgrade Kane to 6'8. Kane is at least 1/2 inch taller.
MK said on 28/Mar/08
Honestly Murray Big, you'll need to be more convincing and descriptive than that to make such a claim, if he stood right next to you and was 'exactly' the same height as you,i can honestly say on behalf of everyone here on CelebHeights.com, you're NOT 6'10.5''(still a tall guy tho)
Anonymous said on 28/Mar/08
Murray if he was the same height as you, then you are not 6'10.5" BAREFOOT.
I'm sorry but it is a proven fact that The Undertaker is not 6'10" barefoot- i think he has admitted that himself.
Tbh if he was 6'10" barefoot, almost no-one would guess him at less than that.
brother_h said on 27/Mar/08
we;ve been talking about height loss since i came here. its possible to lose an inch after and during your 30's. especially if your over 6'2.

MagicTouch said on 22/Mar/08
You cant compare the Bundy staredown pics with Taker and nash, Look at Taker's posture, hes blantantly slouching and thus throwing away nearly 2 inches, and not to mention that he might have bent his legs a bit.
tuga said on 22/Mar/08
Both Taker and Nash tower king kong bundy, undertaker has VERY BAD posture on that pic, but here
24=81 said on 22/Mar/08
I'm a much bigger NBA fan than a WWE fan, so that's my yardstick - Taker looks a bit shorter than Lamar Odom and a lot(!) heavier, having met them both. Taker's gotta be at least 6'8" with shoes and 275+ pounds.
KingNick said on 21/Mar/08
I think you can make an arguable point that there's only 3" there but there's certainly more than 2". I still see 4" and I think Nash has a full 2" on Undertaker, which would make him 6" taller than Bundy, which it certainly looks like in their pic.
nick said on 21/Mar/08
jt undertakers posture stinks in that picture also the top of his head is a little higher. I actually tried this , i had a staredown withone of my friends whos 5'10-5'11 and with a loose posture looking downward it really can make you look shorter
Click Here pause at 7:11 and tell me if thats the same kind of posture that he kad with khali or any tall people. He is still around 4 inches taller with that leaning in posture
Ray said on 21/Mar/08
I think Undertaker's posture has to be taken in to consideration in that Bundy pic; Taker could stand up a bti more straight IMO. ALso, if ALbert is 6'6" or mayeb even 6'7" then that would give more reason to believe Taker is close to 6'8". I also believe Albert to have been an internal lift wearer; even if he didn't Taker still had him by 1" or so.
Frank said on 21/Mar/08
JT, You can compare pictures Taker is slouching and Taker is taller than Bundy than that pictures shows.. Look at Takers Shoulder Blades he is not standing straight like Nash
Alex said on 21/Mar/08
A-Train had at least around 5 inches on Lesnar. I'd put A-Train at 6'7 legit. Lowest would be 6'6.
MK said on 21/Mar/08
Looks like a 3.5''-4'' difference between Bundy/Taker and 5''-5.5'' w/Nash which proves my 6'8.5'' estimate on Nash to be true. Take note MagicTouch.
JT said on 20/Mar/08
KingNick says on 20/Mar/08
JT, the UT/ Bundy photo you chose was the blurriest and the farthest away. What about the close up ones with good quality where UT looks 4" taller?
I'm not sure if there's 4 inches there KingNick and I

Seee Vegas when i met Taker he appeared Very Tall and when i got the picture Back he did not appear as tall but Taker is more than an inch Taller than Heidenreich that im sure off
Vegas said on 19/Mar/08
couple of interesting photos to post, chris daniels (whom i have a photo with) is the exact same height as kurt angle to the mm, a-train has 2 inches on tomko and 1.5" on abyss which is interesting

hs2008 said on 19/Mar/08
I hope you can get a photo with Shad of Cryme Tyme Vegas. I think he's billed at 6'7" but he never looked quite that tall, maybe around 6'5" but i'm not sure.
Vegas said on 19/Mar/08
i am wearing the same black sneakers with dupree as in the chart photo, i actually come out at ~184cm in that photo in shoes because my hair doesn't give me any height. as far as the shoes go, they give between 0.8-1 inch, i have a pair white nike running shoes and they definitely give more, roughly 1.1" (i am wearing them with heidenreich), i tried on my brothers 1.4 inch
Nike Shox the other day and it was like wearing heels lol.
MK said on 19/Mar/08
MagicTouch, Kevin Nash does look no more than 6'8.5'', the only 'blasphemers' on this site are wrestling fans who actually believe the wrestlers listed heights are true when there clearly not, the photos people post only aim to offer their own insight.
Alex said on 19/Mar/08
Vegas looks 5'11 assuming those sneakers only give an inch of height and not a bit more. Some sneakers can give 1.25-1.5 inches.
MagicTouch said on 19/Mar/08
Ok Vegas, if undertaker is no more than 6'7, then Kevin Nash is no more than 6'8.5 which such height to some of you would think is blasphemy
The photos some of you post to make Undertaker appear not so tall are usually when he has bad posture or the camera angle is grossly out of his favour - just shows there is an agenda with some of you here.
Vegas said on 19/Mar/08
yeah KingNick it was an indie show, i never heard of the guys before, their website says NLW, not sure if they are even Irish but it was the first proper wrestling show i remember in the west of ireland since the days when Giant haystacks used to perform over here in the 1980s so i had to go, the WWE usually only play the two big cities on the island (dublin and belfast) and ignore everywhere else, same with WCW when they were running and WWA too
Click Heredupree, eugene and Oulette were performing for the local fed (IWW) that a few of my friends work for. Sabu and Cryme Tyme will be there in June so hopefully i can get photos with them
Vegas said on 19/Mar/08
couple of points
Frank; i met taker in streets and that day he certainly didn't look 2 inches taller than heidenreich in streets, i would say its one inch max and at this point thats me been generous (unless the day i met taker he had an awful slouch), the video MikeV10 posted taker is clearly closer to the camera. i would like to meet taker again in person just to be sure though because he only walked by me but taker didn't look more than 6'7 to me that day.
taker looks about an inch taller than you compared to heidenreich and me but then you said paul bearer was 5'10 and if so taker would only be half an inch taller next to him than me, but then again photos don't give always a true view and taker i assume is in gear with you with heidenreich wearing sneakers with me
brother_h; i have only seen snitsky and heidenreich in backstage videos and in those steve austin barely looks 2 inches shorter than the undertaker so we know those cannot be taken trusted, as far as animal goes he towers over him by at least 6 inches+
Click Here Click Here Click Here the video wait until the end
Click Here thats more height on animal than earthquake had on him in 1992 in a staredown (i will try to find the video i have it on vhs)
i am surprised this photo has not been brought up, he is clearly 2 inches taller than this guy on flat ground and in streets and obviously leaning very badly
Click Here roughly same height difference with Big Vis

Frank said on 19/Mar/08
Vegas, Taker towers me more than Heidenreich Towers you and im taller than you
so if Heidenreich is 6ft 6 Taker is atleast 6ft 8 or more...
brother_h said on 19/Mar/08
heudenreich was 6'5, he was an inch shorter than snisky. oh wait wouldnt that make him shorter? his billed height was 6'7 and 275. and i remember when he was with animal, animal was like 6'1 and wasnt that much shorter than him.
JT said on 19/Mar/08
Given that Heidenreich looks at least 6
KingNick said on 18/Mar/08
Hahaha you got me D-Lurker :>)
Great pics Vegas! Was that after an Indy show or something? I definitely agree Heidenreich is no less than 6'6" maybe he is 6'7" though WWE was billing him as 6'8". Snitsky's height still beats the hell out of me though unless he wears lifts.
Vegas said on 18/Mar/08
tanx guys; i am 5'11 barefoot or 6ft in shoes (whichever you want), my brother is 5'11.5-5'11.75" barefoot and my friend is 6'4 barefoot or around 6'5 in shoes
Click Here(taken about 10.30pm-11pm after bulls and celtics game in united center Chicago april 2006)
Click Here (that photo was taken after a few hours of hiking in the mountains around Innsbruck, Austria. The height chart is located half way up a mountain overlooking the city.
whatever about these guys true barefoot heights they were all nice guys (Dupree a bit arrogant but at least he posed for a photo). Heidenreich is so much different from his wrestling character, soft spoken, really nice guy, same with Pierre Carl Oulette formerly of the Quebecers who said he told me he was trying his best to have one last run in the WWE before retiring.
Anonymous said on 18/Mar/08
6'6'' for Heidenreich, 6'5'' Test and 6'6.5'' A-Train would be my guess. Vegas, would 5'11.5'' be right for yourself (do correct me if i'm wrong)
Alex said on 18/Mar/08
Vegas, I remember you said you were 5'11 plenty of times. Heidenrich looks between 6'5 and 6'6 there. I'd go with 6'5 1/2 compared to you.
Alex2 said on 18/Mar/08
How is Taker skinny? Lol, i agree he isnt bulk compared to Kane, Khali but i bet hes at least 260lbs.
hs2008 said on 18/Mar/08
They're cool pics Vegas. I'm surprised how tall Dupree is. I watched him wrestle the other day and thought to myself I bet he's like 6'1" really since he's billed at 6'3", but he does actually look his billed height. WOW! Heidenreich is deffo 6'6" minimum and I though Test was 6'6" legit but maybe he's more 6'5". I remember he wasn't that much taller than Edge when they wrestled just much, much bulkier. Btw, how tall are you Vegas?
Alex2 said on 18/Mar/08
Vegas, thankyou for the great pics, so Hidenrich had to duck under the 6'6 door? Wow. And how tall are you vegas?
Frank said on 18/Mar/08
Again Taker tilts his head down when with a shorter guy but when he puts his head up there is a couple inch difference between them No less than 2
MikeV10 said on 18/Mar/08

Being one of the lucky to meet Kane and taker. I've seen them both at the same time side by side and i shoke both there hands. kane was in some dress shoes and takers in a pair of nikes and when i walked away they were talking and from the view i had had Kane had .5 on taker looking eye to eye 2ft apart me at 6.2 was barly scraping kane or takers lip. they were both extremely nice and kind would love to meet them again
D-lurker said on 17/Mar/08
I think Kingnicks evidence is slightly biased, its really hard to gauge with the image moving like that..my estimate 6inches 7.5mm.
Frank said on 17/Mar/08
Taker had a couple of inches on Heidenreich
Vegas said on 17/Mar/08
Heidenreich told me he was 6'7 and 282lb, and he could have easily passed for that tall; he is just enormous. I honestly couldn't go below 6'6 for Heidenreich, i believe JT said that is what he was listed in pro football as?? He looked every bit as tall as kane and taker in streets, and had to duck under the 6'6 doors, my brother is a little in front of us here
Click Herefirst thing i noticed about Sandmans is that posture his awful in person, its not too bad here but i thought he slouched slightly as the photo was being taken so he could possibly be close to a full 6'2, though with his posture it would be very easy to underestimate this guy, at least 6'1.5 barefoot in any case
Click Here we are right next to the wall there and for reference that is a standard UK/Ireland 6'6 198cm door to our right
Click HereFrom my vantage point Test didn't look as tall as heindenreich in streets, masters didn't look as heavy as Dupree who really is big but he still looked about 235lbish, but for definite Test was two inches taller than masters in streets, they were standing side by side for a while, then walked to the dressing room with each other.
dupree does have a slight footwear advantage here, he is wearing 1.4"
Nike Shox as is my brother (so both have maybe half an inch advantage over me and my friend) and my brother is again closer to the camera there. Again there is a 6'6 door just behind us there for reference
Click Here its the door in this photo
Click Here my 5'11 friend got a photo with Eugene but it didn't come out good, eugene looks about half an inch taller. his posture is alot better these days because he is slipping in an out of character
Gangrel was also there one of the nights but it was hard to determine his height because he was wearing huge footwear to go with his gothic character (he was wearing boots goths normally wear) another ex WWE/TNA guy called Joe E legend was walking around after the show and he is billed at 6'4 but is about 6'1 in reality (maybe just slightly under)
here is Pierre Carl Oulette better known as Jean Pierre Lafitte aka one half of the Quebecers former WWF tag champs and then later as the pirate dude, he does seem to have a glass eye if you look closely at the pic, i thought he was just slightly under 5'11 even though he is billed at 6'1 and was billed at 6'2 at the show i attended. I didn't listen to what the announcers billed him at weight wise over the wkend but surely he is not the 235lb claimed on obsessed with wrestling (at least not as of right now). He looked at least 250lb to me in person, huge huge guy though, massive arms and his legs are just ridiculously wide
Alex2 said on 17/Mar/08
Alex I really do think Snitsky is actually 6'5, and Hidenrich is huge! Id go as far to say 6'7 and Test 6'5-6'6 sounds right. How tall did Hidenrich say he was Vegas?
Anonymous said on 17/Mar/08
Think in general wwe add 2 inch's to wrestlers heights. Undertaker has been said to tell people he is 6-8 and 6-9 out of character. So believe his peak height to be 6-8.5 thats where the 6-10.5 came from. But now believe him to be 6-7.5 and as skinny as hell!!
Alex said on 17/Mar/08
Vegas, cool. I agree with those heights mostly. Test I thought would be at least 6'5. Heidenreich looks 6'5 since he was an inch taller than 6'4 Snitsky. Masters I think was a strong 6'2 minimum, if not 6'3 at most. He was 260lbs at least at some point before he got off roids.
If you can post some of the photos.

Danimal said on 16/Mar/08
Hulk Fan, be aware that Taker has taken some serious punishment to his body in the last 20 years. Wrestlers are NOT the average Joe Blow who works at their office and drives home in their Subaru. These men put their bodies on the line 200-300 nights a year for decades. So, a 45 year old like Taker (who I do believe underwent surgery more than once) is not a typical 45 year old.
Hulk Fan said on 16/Mar/08
Whether Taker was born in 1965, or 1962 it is irrelevant to me because either way he is way too young to have lost any height unless he underwent a surgery, which I am not aware of.
hs2008 said on 15/Mar/08
He can't have been born in 1962 if he graduated high school in 1983! Plus there's this:

They are saying Big Show is only 6'10 which would make the Undertaker 6'6.
Taker looks to be 6'7 to me. I see a 4 inch difference between Big Show and Taker. 6'7 Barefoot for Taker.

One thing I've noticed is he's looking more Indian (Native American) now that he's older. Apparently, it comes out more in those with partial Native American ancestry when they're older.

'Alex says on 12/Mar/08
Well I M D B.com which is accurate on birthdays and has UT at March 24 1962 which would mean he's turning 46 within 2 weeks.'
Not necessarily Alex. Data on there usually comes through agents of those listed and they act in their clients interest. I know of quite a few listings of birthdays that are off by between 1 and 10 years. Sometimes the wrong date also. Various people. I could mention a few but I won't. As Danimal said, UT may have been listed as 1961 once and now sometimes he comes up as 1965. Some people want to be older when young and younger later on when they are not. I do think Taker is nearly 46 though, so I think 1962.
KingNick said on 13/Mar/08
JT this is the picture I'm referring to

'Taker was born in 1965 unless he graduated high school at 21, lol! Like was posted earlier he graduated in 1983 therefore was born in 1965. He also said on an episode of WWE ByteThis is 2003 than he had a "couple of years to go" before he hit 40. Also Ric Flair's book stated that 'Taker was 16 years younger and since Flair was born in 1949, you do the math.

Sorry the comments here are out sink, Vegas, again, I didn't mean for the last comment to come out nasty, but still disagree. The shoes themselves look thick to me like there's padding inside, just my opinion.
KingNick said on 12/Mar/08
Haha good point there Vegas. Sorry if my last comment came out a little nasty I just read it and didn't want it to come out that way :>)
Vegas said on 12/Mar/08
that sid and taker photo JT posted has to be from 1992, taker wasn't wearing the gray gloves and kickpads in 1997, he changed to purple upon his return at summerslam 1994 (undertaker vs undertaker)
KingNick; edge is only wearing sneakers, if you look at other photos even the ones you posted you will see that. Edge has worn huge footwear in the past but as far as wrestling boots today goes he is getting about 1-1.2" boost as he is not even wearing the biggest sneakers possible. the kickpads are so low they give a distorted view, in reality the heel of his shoes are low

Alex said on 12/Mar/08
Well I M D B.com which is accurate on birthdays and has UT at March 24 1962 which would mean he's turning 46 within 2 weeks.
Vegas said on 12/Mar/08
well taker wasn't born in 1961 or 1962 if he graduated high school in 1983 (which i have seen on numerous websites), unless he graduated high school at 22 years of age lol.
the March 1965 figure seems correct
KingNick said on 12/Mar/08
JT, I can't speak for Alex2 but I think he was referring to the EARLY 90s. That pic with Sid you posted was from 1997
Alex2 says on 11/Mar/08
Tob be perfectly honest, Takers footware in the early 90's was flat as anything (like 0.5" max)
The pic with Gonzalez were the boots he normally wore up till Rumble '94.
Vegas, your photo showed only the bottom of his shoe, that doesn't prove anything. My point is not whether or not he's wearing wrestling boots my point is that I think he has extra leverage in what he's wearing.
JT said on 12/Mar/08
Alex 2, if Taker's boots gave him 0.5" max, what's your estimate for Sid's boots then??
Click Here Taker actually wore different boots when facing Gonzalez.

Ray said on 11/Mar/08
Taker's age is a mystery. Some places say 1962 for his date of birth yet others say 1964 and I even hear 1965. It is said he graduated high school in 1983. Actually, here's his high school's website trivia that says 1983 as his year of graduation - third line down:
Click HereSo if he gradutaed in 1983 he would be around 18 years old then and really could be as low as 43 years old if you do the math. I'll say 43-44 years old for Taker. Also, some interesting reading, here;s a link to Q&A on Taker from Good Ol' JR asked thru his BBQ website. JR sayd he doesn't know Taker's age but guesses late 30's - I don't know about that - prob just saying for character purposes and to be safe. JR sure gets plenty of Taker questions.

Alex2 said on 11/Mar/08
Tob be perfectly honest, Takers footware in the early 90's was flat as anything (like 0.5" max) and yet he stacked up so well to 7'6-7'7 Gonzales and 6'10 Nash, I think the reason we are all thinking he is less today is maybe because he never goes up against big men like Big Show like Alex said. Maybe well see when they go against each other if they do.
Danimal said on 11/Mar/08
Taker only 42? HAHAHAHA. Dude, he was born in 1962 OFFICIALLY. I have even read 1961 for him as well. He is minimum 45-46 years old, NOT 42.
Alex said on 11/Mar/08
Big Show/Undertaker feud would be nice again. This time for the World title assuming UT keeps his WM winning streak alive which I hope he does. I expect to see at least 4-5 inches between the 2 unless UT puts on lifts against him.
Vegas said on 11/Mar/08
edge is wearing sneakers there with kickpads not wrestling boots; the strap is clear here

KingNick said on 11/Mar/08
To be honest I think Edge has boosts in his footwear look at these photos just the first few
Click Here they're like Jericho's and he definitely has boosts.
hs2008 said on 11/Mar/08
Taker is 43 this month, he was born in 1965 not 1962 as has been reported on some sites (they are wrong!). At his age I doubt he would have lost much height naturally? I still say close to 6'8" for 'Taker when he stands up straight and stops slouching.
nick said on 11/Mar/08
nope turning 43
MK said on 11/Mar/08
Edge looks barely 6'3'' to me so maybe 6'6.5'' for taker at this point??
Big Show said on 11/Mar/08
Alex2 says on 8/Mar/08
Alex, Taker is only 42, i wonder how he lost that height? Was it because of surgery and all the toll he takes on his body? Or is he still around 6'8? I really question Taker's height.
Taker is turning 46 this month. In the 90's Taker held his own next to the other big men, such as Gonzales and Kevin Nash. He also held his own next to Khali, when he made his debut. Quite frankly Taker doesn't look any shorter to me nowadays than what he looked in 1999 and I have a ton of matches from that period. Rumour has it that Taker and Big Show will start a feud again after Wrestlemania, so we'll probably see how well they match up today.
Alex said on 10/Mar/08
Alex 2, well looking at him in the ring he just appears a little shorter at least. Likely just an inch he lost, that or he wore lifts back then. He def doesn't look over 6'7 today to me though.
Alex2 said on 8/Mar/08

Frank said on 7/Mar/08
I sen both men close up and Taker appeared taller again i seen Taker in ring Gear and Sid in street clothes
nick said on 7/Mar/08
theres no point really to combine those pics as to the fact that sid has about 4 inches over taker in comparison to the boy. The kid does look older in the pic with taker and the photo perspective is off on the both as sid is closer to the camera and taker is farther away
Alex said on 7/Mar/08
I still believe UT to be 6'8 at his peak but since the early 2000's he has lost height and can look as low as 6'6 at times but I am not saying he's that short though. Likely pushing 6'7 still.
KingNick said on 6/Mar/08
Jimmy David, that's a great find. Someone should photoshop those two together, that could be interesting.
Another idea I've been wanting to ask forever, can someone on here photoshop one of the UT/Sid staredowns as if Sid's head was not pointing up? That could answer a few questions too.
nick said on 6/Mar/08
its all photo percpective jimmy
Frank said on 5/Mar/08
JimmyDavid look those pictures again That Kid looks older in the Picture with Taker and he probably grew
JimmyDavid said on 5/Mar/08
Here is a strange thing. If you follow the link bellow, you will see that Sid Looks a lot taller next to the same kid than Mark callous does. A matter of photo perspective or was Sid really quite taller than Taker in their younger days???
Click Here
Alex2 said on 5/Mar/08
Taker COULD have been close to 6'9" peak but we will never know, he always stacked up to 6'9"-6'10"+ Nash very well. But he is DEFINATLEY not above 6'8" now. I see 6'7.5" now.
Anonymous said on 4/Mar/08
Taker and Sid are (about) the same height,Taker has a high forehead resulting to a lower eye level.The verdict is 6'8" easily for Taker,about 6'8" for sid and 6'9" maybe 6'10" max for Nash.
KingNick said on 2/Mar/08
JimmyDavid says on 2/Mar/08
Even then he does not. Hell, i don't know, they both are tall that's for sure..
Agree with ya there! :>)
MikeV10, WM13 was in 97, so it was even earlier, still backs up your point. I don't think there's much of a difference in Sid and Taker's shoes in that pic
Alex2 said on 2/Mar/08
I believe that Undertaker has 5 brothers, I wonder how tall they are? Does anybody know?
Ryan Ennis of TX said on 2/Mar/08
I have met the Undertaker, he does stand about 6'8" the six-ten claim is just stretching it, or perhaps they bill him six-ten as in Loop I-610 that runs through his native city of Houston.
MikeV10 said on 2/Mar/08
Takers Ministry days (with his bigger boots) were in "99" , the Wrestlemania 13 match was in "98". I Think taker wears normal sized wrestling boots in "98" against Sid.
JimmyDavid said on 2/Mar/08
It could be... i don't know. I just know that somehow Sid always seems to be looking down on Undertaker. But Shouldn't Taker have some height on Sid at the ministry days? Even then he does not. Hell, i don't know, they both are tall that's for sure..
Robby said on 2/Mar/08
I believe Taker is barely taller then Sid. Sid has a higher eye level then Taker. when they're standing face to face, Sid eyes are looking down into Taker's. However Undertaker has a long forehead, which gives Taker the slight advantage. I mean we're talking about half inch or inch at most over Sid. if Taker had a normal forehead he would be around 6'6". in my opinion Taker 6'8" Sid 6'7". but I guess we will never know unless we get a tape measure and see how tall they are and take a picture as evidence.
KingNick said on 2/Mar/08
JimmyDavid, I just don't see that. I do think Sid appears bigger at first glance and taller, but in reality I think they're the same size or UT has him by maybe a half an inch b/c of his long forehead. UT's eyes are lower than Sid's so its decieving. Anyone else agree?
JimmyDavid said on 1/Mar/08
I don't know where all these people are getting the idea that Taker is taller than Sid because he clearly is not. Must be because he has more fans or something. Somehow, Taker looks taller than Sid when they are moving around the ring but it's when they get close that we can clearly see that Sid is a little taller. Just look at JT's pic down below for God's sake.. it's obvious. Even if you scroll down to RED's pics, you can see that they are from a time when Taker had the tallest footwear he ever did and Sid only regular boots, and still taker fails to tower over him, in fact Sid still gives the impression of being the taller man.
Alex said on 29/Feb/08
Robby, nice site that is. Yea, Jake must be wearing some big lifts there. Also comparing Batist and Khali to Big Show and Lesnar. Batista would have an inch on Lesnar I believe and the difference between Batista and Khali is bigger by more than a bit compared to Lesnar and Big SHow.
Robby said on 28/Feb/08
Jake Roberts wore some huge lifts. those lifts had to be about 2". its the first picture in my photobucket album. here is the picture of what I am talking about.
Click Here if you save the image and zoom in, you can get a better look. this could explain why Roberts was about 3 inches shorter then Taker back in 92. also interesting to note in this pic as well to see how huge Zeus boots are to make him look about the same height or taller then Hogan from Survivor Series 89.
Ray said on 28/Feb/08
Taker is taller than Sid by around 1" in my opinion in most of their staredown pics. Plus, Sid's footwear is suspect to me.
Alex said on 28/Feb/08
I still believe Nash to be a legit 6'10 at his peak. Today he looks 6'9 at most.
Frank said on 28/Feb/08
Taker is the taller of the two and Sid Tilts his Head back which makes hard to judge because they are close in height in ring gear
JT said on 28/Feb/08
Red says on 27/Feb/08
Ut and Sid are the same height in ringgear. I think Sid has slightly bigger boots ~0.5" more than UT
Frank said on 27/Feb/08
Paul, Nash could have been 6ft 10 easily and too be honest he could have passed for 7ft when i seen hin in cowboy boots but for some reason Sid did not look as tall as i thought when i seen him ??
Anonymous said on 27/Feb/08
The Undertaker in 6'8 Barefoot. I am 5'10 and stood next to him. He was in street clothes. My friend is 6'5 and Taker had him by 2 to 3 inches.
Red said on 27/Feb/08
Ut and Sid are the same height in ringgear. I think Sid has slightly bigger boots ~0.5" more than UT.
I give both a flat 6
Paul said on 27/Feb/08
Frank we know Nash was probably just over 6'10 maybe up to 6'10.5. Would you agree on that ? Look at the photo from Magic Touch. Close to 6'9 seems ok back then. We have similar views on UT but not on Sid.
Alex said on 27/Feb/08
Frank, you're totally right. When someone is say that much taller than you at 7-8 inches plus thats when its very hard to get a good estimate.
Frank said on 26/Feb/08
Anonymous, Taker told me personally he was 6ft 9 and he did look it too me and yes he probably did lie and it is hard to Judge tall people when they are alot taller than you
Anonymous said on 26/Feb/08
I personally think UT was just under 6'8 peak height; but the aspect to consider with your comment Vegas is that he did not appear 6'8 to you in casual clothes.
What this perhaps implies, considering your perspective is not that innacurate, is that he is indeed not over 6'8. The reason being is simply that if this man was over 6'8 BAREFOOT, then he would undoubtedly seem 6'9-6'10 or more to the naked eye by those considerably shorter than him: This is possibly why i think Frank could be a little off with his perception of Taker, visually seeming 6'9 in 'ring-gear'.
This is by no means proof though that Taker was not over 6'8 because as many point out, POSTURE must be taken into consideration with this guy. Saying this, the simple fact that he was not billed over 6'8 in his youth shows that he was likely to be slightly under this mark barefoot :)
Gollum said on 26/Feb/08
Undertaker is 6'8 and Jake Roberts is 6'5 I met both and have my pic with Roberts who was taller than me 6'2 and my brother 6'4.

Click Here its a photoshop by nick thats all :)
here is the original
Click Herei have met undertaker in person and stood right next to the guy when he was wearing sneakers and he didn't look as tall as 6'8 to me, neither did kane either and many think he is over 6'8 barefoot (a few have claimed to have measured him at 6'8.5") but based on my meeting with kane and standing next to him he looked only in the 6'7 range
Alex2 said on 25/Feb/08
I think it would be a good idea if Taker was upgraded to 6'8 PEAK and 6'7 NOW to make things more accurate, although i still see him minimum 6'7.5"
MagicTouch said on 25/Feb/08

JT, first of all, nash was 2 inches ABSOLUTE MAX taller than taker, there was a video with a staredown between them where the difference is actually 1 and 1/2 inches, did you also miss that?
Big show OBVIOUSLY has used bigger footware, his staredowns with nash are more than proof of it

This has been talked about on the Sid page I think. In all fairness, UT's toes are up slightly in that pic, just not much.

Tuga, so you are relying on Nick
tuga said on 24/Feb/08
Anybody that reads wrestlers pages will know how biased some people here are...
Now why downgrade guys like sid or bund or jake roberts to sell taker shorter?
Bundy should be 6
Alex2 said on 23/Feb/08
I see 1" between Kane and Taker there, and camera angle is pretty bad.
KingNick said on 23/Feb/08
I don't see anything wrong with JT's photos posture wise either, I just think his estimations are off. Everyone who thinks UT is shorter than 6'8" seems to forget how long the guys forehead his. It's what gives him the extra boost in height. Just look at the photos with Sid.
Again, I see him as 6'8", but he now has very bad posture compared to his younger years and really only stands straight on the rare occasion someone is taller, like Khali. I'd be willing to believe he's 6'7" now, I don't think that's an extravagant guess. I just don't see lower than that. And frankly, not higher than 6'8".
And no pun intended, Sid's height on here is here is sold way too short. I've said this many times. There's not much of a difference, if any, between him and Undertaker.
In regards to Roberts, the dude is tall! I think he's a solid 6'5" to begin with plus he wore huge boots. Just watch his WM8 match with UT, who wore boots that were nearly flat for his first 3 years in WWF/E. Of course everyone chooses to ignore that fact when I point it out tho :>)
Vegas said on 23/Feb/08
come on now tuga you talk about good posture in photos and you post
Click Hereyou consistently post the video of big show/taker where the big guys posture is like this
Click Herepersonally i see nothing wrong with takers posture in most of JT's photo, in the roberts photo taker is standing up straighter than roberts is, do not see much wrong with posture re: crush or sid either
kane looks a few inches taller than taker here which i find very strange

Taker with no more than a head size (~ 10 inches) on 5
nick said on 22/Feb/08
well lets not get crazy, 6'7.5 for taker right now is accurate
Shock of Electric said on 22/Feb/08
Taker is clearly a minimum of 6'8" based on comparisons with many other listed heights on this site. If Big Show is listed 7' here and Nathan Jones at 6'10", then it's hypocritical to list guys like Kane and Taker below 6'8" just based on visuals. Nathan Jones is straight up not taller than Kevin Nash. Comparisons show Nathan Jones to be no more than 1.5" taller and Big Show no more than 4" taller. I still want to see Taker's "lifts" from the Ministry era because I think there is some poor perception on the boots as I've seen some really terrible illustrations of how people think the boot heels work.
Khali 7'1" - 7'1.5"
Big Show 7' - 7'0.5" (possibly down to 6'11" now)
Nash - 6'10.5"
Nathan Jones - 6'9.75"
Kane and Taker - 6'8.25"-6'8.5"
KingNick said on 22/Feb/08
Alex2, they're right. I met Rico after an event once, he's only around 5'10". And Shock of Electric, I agree, UT has spoken many many times out of character saying he's 6'8" the quote above was when he was speaking in character (I use to have the magazine it was from).
dave said on 22/Feb/08
It seems like Rob is assuming everyone is inflating their heights by an inch or two, the only one he's taking their word for is Austin when he says he's 6'1''. Whats with this Rob? There's evidence of Dalip Singh looking his claimed 7'2'', Undertaker looking 6'9'' etc.

Shock of Electric said on 22/Feb/08
Does anyone have examples of the lifts I hear Taker wore during the Ministry days? BTW, list 6'7.5" for Taker, but 7' for Big Show and 6'10" for Nathan Jones just because they said it? But Taker said he's 6'8" or 6'9" countless times in interviews and that's not good enough? Truly backwards height amnesty here. In any event, he is at the bottom barrel least 6'8". I have a feeling it is based on this picture alone and you are underestimating the top of his head. Taker's eyes are virtually centered on his skull.

Whatever happened to the "6 ft 8 probable" mark on this page? That would make things more fair
hs2008 said on 20/Feb/08
'Taker actually looks 6'8" when he stands straight up next to legit 7'1" Great Khali. That surprised me actually because he usually looks about 6'6" next to Batista, i guess because his posture isn't great with shorter guys.

JT said on 19/Feb/08
Nick, try applying that x-ray photoshop to Taker's foot
Click Here like you did with Albert. It may be interesting:). Actually, the shine is likely coming from just the top half of the edge of the foot. The bottom half is below the shine; it
JT said on 19/Feb/08
nick says on 18/Feb/08
Click Here
this is what my take is on how alberts foot is looking in those boots of his, giving him closer to 2 1/4 inches...
That's a good job Nick, but every shoe has an inner lining above the actual sole, including Taker's. The back of Taker's heel is off the ground as high as Albert's is
Click Here I still think Taker edges out Albert but it's not even close to two inches, at least as of 2001.
KingNick said on 19/Feb/08
Also JT, Kane boots people in the face and he has huge footwear advantages.
KingNick said on 19/Feb/08
JT, sorry man, but I WAY disagree with that last pic. The arrow is way too high and the picture is too blurry.
nick said on 18/Feb/08
Click Herethis is what my take is on how alberts foot is looking in those boots of his, giving him closer to 2 1/4 inches
Alberts can be 6'6.5 barefoot i think taker at this time is 6'7.5 barfoot but 6'8 peak height. With that footwear advantage of an inch it brings albert to a little over the 6'7 mark. And taker has a quarter inch advantage over albert anyway.
Also you never know maybe albert was sleeping around all day and then woke for his altercation with taker. You just never know
nick said on 18/Feb/08
omg JT if that is the edge of his foot that means he is wearing lifts, there really is a big arch there and thats what iu was trying to say, where the foot arches is only because of the lift inside of his boot, and it does look that way in the pictures
Alex2 said on 18/Feb/08
I just think 6'6 is rediculous for Taker, i bet Albert did have 2"+ heels, Taker looked 6'8 last night at No way out.

men can grow out of highschool, he could have grown a half in more making him 6'6.5 or who knows maybe 6'6.75 and taker had around a centimeter on him in the video making him 6'7 without albert possibly having lifts
KingNick said on 18/Feb/08
If Albert is 6'6" and his shoes made him 6'8.5", and UT is 6'8" and his shoes made him 6'9", that would STILL explain the picture. Kane clearly wore boots that gave him a 2.5" boost.

JT do you notice the shine on alberts shoe that curves upward?, well thats his foot inside of his shoe curving upward because of a lift inside., alberts has lifts inside of his shoes, you can see a subtle shine on takers shoes and you will notice he doenst have an upward curve like that, and alberts soles themselves are slightly thicker. This was when they were pushing albert as a really gigantic man.

Was he not billed as 7'2 on WWE around 5 or 6 years ago and then they changed it to 7'. Around the same time I watched him being questioned on a British TV show and he claimed 7'1 then.
I haven't watched the wrestling much in past few years and I didn't see him introduced as Andre's son.All I know is he made hogan look like a little boy on that clip. I think he was 7'1 then and is probably 7'0 now, but I can't believe 6'10 though,not even now.
KingNick said on 17/Feb/08
JT, thats were I disagree, I think Albert's shoe looks to give more like 2" look at the pic on the left
Click Here no worries on our disagreement man I respect you a lot on this board just a different opinion :>)

I believe the baldo-bomber (Albert) to have been an internal lift wearer.
Vegas said on 17/Feb/08
Yaspaa; Big Show was never anywhere near 7'4, the only reason WCW listed him at that height was to play out the role of andre the giants son (andre was famously listed at 7'4), he also wore the same ring attire as andre had done in his heel years to further enhance the character.
wight was listed at 7'1 in basketball circa 1989-1993
Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Herehowever the fact that the WWE billed him at 7ft flat leads me to believe he probably was never taller than that though, very interesting that the WWE would bill a guy lower than what he was listed in a legit sport???
Yaspaa said on 17/Feb/08
Vegas,Big Show seems taller in that reel than he does now.Maybe because he is slimmer,but I was very surprised at how he really dwarfs Hogan. I don't believe the 7'4 announced but I think I could believe 7'2 just going off your first 'click here'.
Alex2 said on 16/Feb/08
I think Albert is more 6'7" for definate. At bare minimum is he 6'6"
JT said on 16/Feb/08
tuga says on 16/Feb/08
....I showed videos here he was not that close in height to taker
I must have missed those. Please re-post them.
JT said on 16/Feb/08
Click Here Albert's boots are on the left and look around 1.25" for sole height; Taker's are on the right and are of similar height.
KingNick said on 16/Feb/08
Tuga, agreed. Plus also every pic UT has with Batista he's pointing his head down. Someone posted once a close look with Albert's boots during that staredown and I definitley saw Kane-like shoes
Vegas said on 16/Feb/08
if nash was at least 6'10 then it was before his time in WCW or Big Show was at one time 7'1 at least
Nick; nash doesn't seem to gain 3 inches when there he stands on his toes
Click Here 6'9 for nash seems more realistic in my view
nash's posture with bundy (he is bending his head downwards)
Click Here is much worse than takers with bundy

....The only time I think UT wore "lifts" was very briefly in 1994 when he faced the fake UT and during his ministry days.
He may have when he faced off with Khali was well. If Khali's 7'1", which he certainly looks, Taker looked only 4-5 inches shorter.
Click Here Click Here Yet around this same time, there are pics of Taker and Batista where Taker looks only around 3 inches taller than Batista, or about 6
Ray said on 15/Feb/08
In KingNick's pic below of Taker and Kane, Kane has what looks to me 1" advantage and he had bigger boots for sure then and even today.
KingNick said on 15/Feb/08
JT, in regards to Spivey, if you look on youtube at their tag matches, he has on something like a cowboy boot. I don't think EVERY wrestling boot gives a full inch advantage, some may give .5" I've been pointed out many times from 1990 - 1994 UT's boots were almost flat. My point is if Spivey was 6'6" or 6'7" his shoes could bring him to the same height as UT in a normal shoe.
The only time I think UT wore "lifts" was very briefly in 1994 when he faced the fake UT and during his ministry days. When he was the bad ass, he wore something like a work boot which gives about 1.5" give and since he's returned as the dead man he's worn a normal wrestling shoe, which to me is at most .75" give.
nick said on 15/Feb/08
Takers posture with bundy stinks, he always does that. However, in the backstage altercation with nash and taker there was an inch and a half difference
nick said on 15/Feb/08
Well JT Kama is really up there on his toes> I tried it and i have done this before you gain about 3 inches when you cheat, Also I really do not think taker is really cheating there, if you want to compare you can literally see a near 4 inch gap under kama's foot and you dont see anything under takers, so you saying they have an inch of "cheating" between one another is out there. Funnt because i actually thought this was an impressive picture showing the undertakers height. With Kama cheating bringing himself to about 6'8 with his shoes on taker is still edging him out by a near two inches, but we will take an inch away making taker 6'9 with his shoes and 6'8 barefoot :)
tuga said on 15/Feb/08
Taker still looks 6'8 today, anything below that peak is just ridiculous.
There
Frank said on 15/Feb/08
JT. Taker looks down alot with Shorter guys so he dont look as tall belive me he is very tall You have to seem him up close to know what im saying and your right he could be 6ft 7 barefoot (possible) I dont believe Taker was on his Tippy toes in that picture because he looks the same amount taller than Paul Bearer like he always does
JT said on 14/Feb/08
KingNick, the problem is that Taker has been known to wear enhanced footwear as well, especially during the Ministry days. He
nick said on 14/Feb/08
yea taker has a huge peaked head. and the fuinny thing is is that he never shows his maximim posture, the only guy ever weas with khali and we all know how well that went, he looked like a 6'8er
KingNick said on 14/Feb/08
These two picks are two great examples of why I think UT could still be 6'8" today but no smaller than 6'7"
Click Here and
Click Here the Kane pic shows the era where we all know he had massive lifts and there doesnt look more than 2" between the two, maybe even 1", because UT has such a long forehead. Same thing with the Heidenreich pic (I don't think he's less than 6'5"). I think that's why so many people mistaken UT for 6'6" because of his eye line being so low. Look at the BACK of his head.
Robby said on 13/Feb/08
I would say Undertaker is 6'8". looks to be about two inches shorter then Nash who I think at his prime is 6'10". I have collected quite a few face to face pics as well. some I sure you guys have seen. some credit goes to me and a lot of credit goes to those who posted the pics. thank you all.

He looks to be 6'7 Barefoot.
Alex2 said on 11/Feb/08
Thanks for the info Frank, yea i know what you mean i saw a guy today who must have been easily 6'6" if not more but i could not estimate his height well as if i could estimate a 5'8-6'0 guy.
Frank said on 11/Feb/08
Alex2 When Taker told me he was 6ft 9 he looked it but then again anyone 6ft 7 and up its hard to judge and Paul Bearer i would say is 5ft 10 no taller than that
omar g said on 10/Feb/08
i remember paul orndorff being an arrogant idiot back in 85 when he and piper were feuding. i tried to talk to him but he cursed under his breath and just ignored me and my friend.i know undertaker is 6'8 little taller than my 6'7 friend. but than again this was in 1997 during raw.by the way owen hart was super cool.i went to an event in san diego,and i stood at some regular hotel out there, i think motel 6 or something,and owen hart was checking in.i could not believe it.i started talking to him he was a down to earth awesome personality guy.i was surprised he was by himself.no other wrestlers were there at all.that was a good moment.seemed to be 5'8 or 5'9 though.different than bret.bret seemed to be a bit arrogant,snobbish type.no encounters or conversations ever with bret.does anybody know out of experience what kind of person he seems to be outside of the ring?
Alex2 said on 10/Feb/08
Frank, how tall do you think he looked in person? He was probably easily 6'8 when you met him. Any guess on Bearers height also? Hes always looked 5'10 to me.
KingNick said on 10/Feb/08
Frank, that's awesome man. I know one or two people that have met 'Taker and have read about other experiences. Generally most people say similar to what you said that he's very quiet but real nice. Someone told me once that he was giving autographs at a hotel. He excused himself, went to his room to get paper to write on, and came back down to sign more autographs. Now there's a cool guy
Frank said on 10/Feb/08
Alex2, Bearer seemed grouchy and Taker did not talk alot but he was Friendy
When i went to the event i seen Taker and Paul Bearer talking in a corner and me and my friend snuck pass a Security Guard and i went up to them and asked them if i could take a picture with them and Taker seemed willing but Paul Bearer seemed annoyed and i said to Taker Damm Your Tall how tall are you and he replied 6 FT 9 and then i thanked him and wished him and his family a Merry Christmas because it was a Christmas event @ the Paramount Theater in Madison Square Garden ...Taker did not talk much but he came across friendly
Alex2 said on 9/Feb/08
Vegas, Gonzales foot isnt that much bigger than Taker's, im willing to say Taker takes about a size 15-16 maybe.
Anonymous said on 9/Feb/08
paul bearer seemed pretty cool with me after wrestlemania 12 at their hotel bar.he was just talking about the missing link.it was a classic moment.you are right batista was an ass.he sucks anyways.no wrestling skills.
Alex2 said on 9/Feb/08
Frank, do you mean Bearer was just acting as he annoyingly does in his WWF mood or he was just nasty? And did Taker actually talk much? As he was playing a guy who really doesnt say much lol.
KingNick said on 9/Feb/08
Yeah we have to consider the fact that its possible to meet ANY celebrity on a bad day. I never met or know anyone that's met Paul Bearer but he seems like a cool guy in all the shoot interviews I've seen him in.
Speaking of Grouches, I don't mean to sound like one, but please post a pic to back up your claims if you're just going to right "so and so is this tall" I could be just as aggravating and say Undertaker is 7'.
Frank said on 9/Feb/08
Taker seemed nice but Paul Bearer was a Grouch
Alex said on 9/Feb/08
About Batista in person. When I got a picture with him and Melina in late 2006. The guy looked kinda mad sitting at the table so I didn' even bother asking him to stand and he could have looked happier for an autograph session. Could have been a bad day because I have seen fan pictures with him smiling before.
Vegas said on 9/Feb/08
actually Orton is quite nice in person, kane and show are ok, the last time i met both, neither were in a good mood, especially show but he took time out to take photos and autographs anyway, when he said "I'm going" nobody argued or followed him in case he decided to eat us all lol. first two times i met big show he wouldn't stop for photos though; my brother met lesnar and said he wasn't nice at all.
on the subject of gonzales he wore leather covering his boots which may have made them look bigger, his foot is far far bigger than takers so comparing gonzales' foot/boot to that of takers is like comparing your own footwear to that of a 5 year old child
Click Herei am posting this here because nobody reads khalis or big daddy v's pages, anyway khali towered over BDV last night on smackdown, at times it looked as much as 7 inches
Click Here here is the full video
Click Herehard to believe big daddy v stood the exact same height as one of the tallest players today in the nfl in a number of photos ie max starks, gives you an idea how tall khali truly is there
Jim bakerly said on 8/Feb/08
The undertaker may say he is 6'9" but is only 6'6" 9 cm
KingNick said on 8/Feb/08
Alex2, thank you! I've been saying that forever lol
Alex2 said on 8/Feb/08
Im willing to bet Gonzalez had at least 2" in his boots for boosted height. Watching that undertaker vs gonzalez match, taker's shoes are really flat and gonzalez looks like hes wearing high heels lol.
Alex2 said on 8/Feb/08
Id say Orton is abig jerk. Lesnar is a jerk, Kane is cool and also Big show is very down to earth i believe.
Vegas said on 8/Feb/08
omar g; from my own personal experiences both batista and ric flair were not nice in person, i have heard that john morrison (aka johnny nitro) can be a bit of a d**k at times and that jbl is horrible (i have never met either so i don't know for sure). most others i have met were great but especially the likes of matt morgan, ron simmons, mick foley, steve austin, john cena, bob orton, kid kash who were really down to earth. The rock seemed a great guy in person taking time out to sign autographs even though his security people were trying to usher him out of the building. tajiri and funaki we only met for a short while but they are completely crazy (in a good way), i would love to go for a drink with those guys it would be an experience....
KingNick said on 8/Feb/08
omar g, I met Rico too. Right before he was released. Me and some friends were waiting outside the meadowlands to try to get autographs. Rico was the only one who stopped and took the time to sign. There were about 50 people outside and he got every one and chatted with them a bit, he was real cool.
