Wrestling Height Logic

[thedag]

I remember being genuinely disappointed to learn that Andre The Giant was only around six ten or eleven. When Vinnie Mac used to interview him, he would always take his shoes off, or have Andre stand on a box or something.

Example

he was 7 feet when he died.

Maybe some of these guys were measured with and without their shoes. I'm just at 6 foot... but when I put on my shoes I almost 6' 2" tall... It could be the case of just being measured with and without shoes.

Your shoes add 2 inches to your height?! What the hell are you wearing?! Platforms?! High heels?!

It's Dennis so I'm saying either Cuban heels, Wellington boots, Clogs or Platforms with goldfish in the soles.

I used to work at an arena, the Air Canada Center and was 'backstage' or just at work early being a wrestling fan and bumped into Rey Mysterio. He is 5'3 in real life I can confirm that.

LOL, you can't just say I can confirm that! You can't confirm anything. I could say "when I was in the Army I went to Tribute to the Troops and Big Show slapped a helicopter out of the sky, I can confirm that."

Was he wearing Jerichos lifts when he passed? Not too sure where you got that from, but that's a tall tale if ever I heard one.

Due to illness and the fact that his body was breaking down on him, Andre was actually shorter than six feet ten when he died.

Also they are not billed at correct weights.

What? Pretty soon someone is going to tell us these guys are using fake names or dont really come from where they are billed.

IT'S REAL TO ME DAMMIT!!!!1!ONE!!11!!ONEONE!!!
