I never understood why they exaggerated tall Pro Wrestlers
Like Hogan clearly isn't a legit 6'8" but he's not short....why lie? Especially when he has multiple matches w/ other touted, taller people like Andre, Sid, Kevin Nash, etc....
The Undertaker is not 7', etc.....
Yeah all those guys were already tall but the goal is to make them larger than life so they added a few inches its how they sold the show before TV when they traveled to local cities to pitch pro wrestling.
Pro wrestling is like the circus it started from the old days before national TV or the black and white era when they traveled to cities and spoke of mythical figures, guys who were already tall they made them even taller.
Braun Strowman is a legit 6'8 which is his billed height I believe, here he is staring down 6'9 Tyson Fury from yesterday
I think The Rock was billed as 6 foot 5, it was clear he was around 6 foot 2,
John Cena is one of the few honest wrestlers, he kinda kills it for the other guys with exaggerated heights though, because Cena is a legit 6 foot, he could have easily played along and said 6 foot 4 or something because he is not far off in height compared to the guys who list themselves as 6 foot 3 or 4.
Here is John Cena who is 6 foot flat on his bio with 6 foot 3 Brock Lesnar, the only thing I can think is maybe Cena down plays his height on purpose and pretend to be shorter, and is actually 6'2 but likes claiming he is shorter so people say man you are taller in person than I expected
