He was 6'6 max, making Ventura 6'2. Also, Viper is right, Barkley is 6 foot 4. He was never 6'6. Reason I say this? Because I was at one of their matches.
He looks 6'1 with Randy Orton who i do have a pic of when he was 17 and he towers his 6'2 father. He had a career ending back injury. The surgery most definitely lowered his height. Look at the video I sent.
The proof is in the pudding. Dibiase at least 2" on Ventura. Either way if you want to say Dibiase was 6'1. Dibiase said he was just under 6'4". He was also listed as 6'4" in PWI back in the day. He was clearly not more than 6'3", even if Dibase was 6'3. Peak Heights cm : Dibase - Ventura - Hogan - Click Here Comes out shorter than 6'3. Jesse with better footwear too. Unless you want to list Ted Dibiase 6'5. Ralf Moeller dwarfed Jesse. More than 2. He was wearing standard dress shoes.
I wore loafers. I stand 6'2". He was 6', 5'11" at the least. Big guy, but not anywhere NEAR 6'4". I am about six one; he was very tall. I would say 6'4 in that time. More like 6'2. He always had big boots. I wouldnt give him anything over 6'3" cm ;and I would never say he is 6'4" cm. I don't think he was as low as in the 80s.
I am loathe to estimate, but it was clear to me that Jesse was shorter than 6 ft 5 in Sven and taller than AhNold. They've played in a couple of films together and I can't remember how they compared to each other in height. Charles Barkley indeed isn't 6'6, he's 6'4, but in the pic Jesse is standing behind Barkley and he's leaning a lot more than Barkley is. So this pic really isn't a good way to judge Ventura's height. I give him 6'1. I don't think that he was ever any taller than 6'3".
I just think he had bad posture nowadays and appears shorter because of that. I think if he stands straight he'd be over 6'3" easily. Now I have to give him a good 6'3. He looks to be a good 6'4" and that wouldn't be surprising.
Monsoon looked alittle Taller than Triple H Triple H is 6ft 3 with lifts. So cm is correct height for him. I'm going to take a closer look at him, though. Even when they wrestled, Ventura looked small next to Hogan Now, Hogan is said to be no more than 6'4" today and it would be very interesting to see them stand next to each other with Hogan's obvious loss in height over the years I have read that Ventura is 6'2" and pounds today, but I have also seen him listed at 6'4"-6'5" His heighest weight in the WWF was pounds I believe ventura is about 6''6" he was about the same height as 6'6" gorilla monsoon who was a few inches taller then 6'3" mohammed ali.
I don't know if he's as tall as Hulk Hogan, though Guess he's another one of those people who can't decide what height they are. Brenda Fricker.
