1. Jorge González, whose actual height is/was roughly 7'6.5"(230cm) was known as Giant Gonzalez in WWF and El Gigante in WCW.He is the tallest commonly known wrestler. He was billed 7'7" and"nearly" 8' tall.

2. Ron Reis, at 7'2", was also known as Ron Studd and the Yetiin WCW. Surprisingly billed this height even when The Big Show(then The Giant) was billed at 7'4" in WCW, and being as much as 2"shorter than Reis. As the Yeti he was merely billed as "THAT MAN ISTALLER THAN THE GIANT!" Over 7'1" is more than likely.

3. Dalip Singh, currently known as The Great Khali in the WWEhas been billed anywhere from 7'2" - 7'4" in the WWF andsignificantly taller than that in Japan but has found a home at7'3" as of late. His actual height likely to be about 7'1" (216cm)which has been documented before he arrived in the WWE, and alsohas been listed as low as 6'11.5" in his younger weight liftingdays.

4. Paulo César da Silva, also known as Giant Silva in Japan andand Paulo Silva in the WWF, is generally billed 7'3" - 7'5" andcomes in around 7' even (213 - 214cm). Generally wears thickerboots to increase his height for effect.

5. Paul Wight's, also known as the Big Show, height is suspectin the sense many feel he is clearly not as tall as he once was,and also wears slightly thicker boots than most current wrestlers.He was more than likely around 7' (214cm) in WCW as the Giant inhis 20s, and now around 6'11.5" (212 cm) in the WWE. He has beenbilled 7', 7'2" and 7'4" (WCW)

6. Andre the Giant was generally billed 7'4" and eventually 7'5"starting at Wrestlemania 3, then back down again towards the veryend of his career. He has one of the most widely disputed heights,being listed as low as 6'9.75" but it is generally agreed he was atleast 6'11.5" (213cm) in his youth, but this may be due to somelevel of manifested respect. Andre was likely no taller than6'10.5" by WM3.

7. Kipp Christianson, (former NXT competitor Eli Cottonwood) iscurrently listed as 7' and 7'1", but with not many real comparisonsto work with yet, at best he can be described as a vague 6'10".Could he be taller than Andre?

8. Kevin Nash, also known as Diesel and various other aliaseshas generally been billed as 7', with the occasional random bumpsand dips above and below. His website lists him at a generic 6'10"(208-209cm), so he could be slightly taller or shorter than that athis peak, but likely has lost some height over the years.

9. Robert Maillet, known to many as Kurrgan is approximately thesame height as Kevin Nash (208cm), and was also billed 7' tall inthe WWF. Easily in the upper 6'9" range.

10. Nathan Jones is self professed as 6'10" (209cm) and has beenbilled as much as 7'1." He is likely to be in the upper 6'9" range(208 cm).

11. Giant Baba of Japanese Wrestling fame was commonly listed as6'10.5" but oddly as low as 6'6.5". He was more than likely about6'9" (206cm).

12. Matt Morgan, known as Beast on the New American Gladiatorshas been billed around 7' for most of his wrestling career, comingin around a high 6'8" - 6'9" (205 - 206cm) legit.

13. Coming in at lucky 13, The Undertaker has had a consistentverbal and written height bill of 6'10.5" for the last 20 years inthe WWE/F, and billed 6'9" in WCW as Mean Mark. He has statedhimself as being "Six foot eight, six-nine", so roughly 6'8.5"(204cm) is probable.

14. Stan Frazier is sometimes a forgotten name in the wrestlingbusiness. Uncle Elmer (and countless other names) who was billedanywhere from 6'10" to 7'2" (based on unavoidable comparison withAndre), could very well have been over 6'9" early in his career.Due to his lack of marketability, his height was never emphasizedlike Andre's. His actual height is possibly a high 6'8" but likely6'8" even.

15. Kane is generally billed as 7 feet tall in the WWE, with theoccasional similar comparisons to his TV brother the Undertakerbeing around 6'10" or 11". He is roughly around 6'7.5" to 6'8" (202- 203cm) but due to thicker boots to give the impression he islarger than the Undertaker, he is billed taller.

16. The Big Cat Ernie Ladd, often billed 6'9" was probably 6'8"(203cm) and at least 6'7". It is worth noting he was listed as 6'9"in his football days.

17. Giant Haystacks, who eventually became Loch Ness in WCW, wasbilled as high as 6'11" during his roughly 30 year career, butcloser to 6'7.5" or possibly 6'8" at his tallest (202cm).

18. Sid (Sycho, Justice, Vicious etc) has been billed wildly6'8", 6'9", 6'10" and 6'11" in his career, depending on who thecompetition was beneath or above him but most often recognized at6'9". He is more than likely just above 2 meters tall at 6'7"(201cm), but possibly as low as 6'6.5" due to suspect footwear.

19. Big John Studd was very possibly an even 6'7" or a littlemore (201cm) and was always criticized for enhancing his heightwith various subtle techniques like extra thick boots, standing onhis toes, tall hair style, etc. He was generally billed 6'10".Video evidence from WM2 with Bill Fralic suggests Studd could havebeen as short as 6'6".

20. Big Daddy V/Viscera is often underestimated in height duethe illusion of his size at 500 lbs. He is just around the 2 meterbarrier at a very high 6'6" and possibly 6'7" (200cm). He has beenbilled 6'7 and 6'8" as a face and 6'9" mostly as a monster heel,with a random written billing of 6'6" for what are most likelyarbitrary reasons.

21. George Gray, more commnonly known as The One Man Gang orAkeem the African Dream, is another very large wrestler whosestature oftentimes skewed his menacing height. He was generallybilled 6'9", sometimes 6'10" or even 7 foot. Early in his career hevery well could have been over 6'7", but the Akeem we know "dances"around that mark between 6'6.5" and 6'7" (199 - 200cm). Gray beginsthe "grey area" where this list is defining extremely tallwrestlers, as he could be into the 6'5" range today.

There are various other wrestlers (most of them in the indies orno notable TV fame) who may be 6'7" or over. To try and verify thatthey are, compare them to other wrestlers on this list ifpossible.

To put a line between the tallest of tall and just below, other6'6" range wrestlers include: The Harris Twins, Big Guido, PrinceAlbert/A-Train, Dan Spivey, Black Jack Mulligan, Jerry Tuite (TheWall), Andrew Martin (Test), Brian Adams (Crush), Bryan Clark(Wrath/Adam Bomb), John Tenta (Earthquake/Golga), Wade Barrett,Vance Archer, and Hulk Hogan at his peak.

All of these men have been billed between 6'6" and 6'8", somevarying depending on the promotion, or the importance of theircharacter. Of course Akebono or Silo Sam could be on the detailedlist as well but their overall wrestling related importance is notas high as the legends on this list, or the up and coming stars whomay make names in the future purely through professional wrestling,and not acting, MMA, or other sports.

All wrestlers on this list could very well be slightly taller orshorter than these listings, but the order of height seniority andheight difference between them is relatively accurate. Startingwith Gonzalez there is no legitimate wrestler taller than him, andno one notable between him and the next tallest, so on and soforth. Again, there may be however, several wrestlers not mentionedwho are in between.
