>HHH - 6'4>Cody Rhodes - 6'2Okay, I know wrestling heights are all worked, but I swear Triple H used to be taller. What happened to him? He looks shoot 5'9 now.
>>16208391codys isnt a work. everyone elses wasstone cold, hhh, etc were shoot 6'0rock was shoot 6'2
>>16208416yup, also here he has wrestling boots on so will be getting another inch over regular shoes depending on how insecure they are about their heights via lifts
It’s called aging.
don't bodybuilder types end up shorter over time from heavy weightlifting? that with getting old i wouldn't be surprised he shrunk
>>16208442less 'heavy weightlifting' and more 'their hormones are going back to what they should be and they're not cranking out as much of the good hormones that make you look good as before'. roid trannyism is very real.
Old people shrink
>>16208442>>16208446its bothheavy lifting especially stuff like squats where the weight is on your shoulders spine and back deffo shrinks you
Heitch has probably lost 1-2 inches of height since the 90s
>>16208391age and surgery, Haitch was taller during attitude and RA eras. Also perspective can make you think he is smaller, but they look like they're the same height.
>>16208391>>16208416Cody is shoot 6'
>>16208391People shrink as they get older anon
>>16208416You usually subtract 2 inches from the billed height but occasionally you get someone like Billy Gunn or Drew McIntyre who are billed correctly and it throws everyone off because all the other shoot 6'5" guys bill themselves as like 7 feet tall
>>16208391There's a link between cardiovascular problems and height loss. It's usually in the elderly, but his heart attack was legit life threatening.
>>16208532need some 6'4 gigachad to bill themselves at 6' just to silently trigger the rest of the locker room
>>16208442>don't bodybuilder types end up shorter over timehogan hasnt shrunk. most wrestlers just lie about their height. all the little guys around today that we call short claim to be 5'8. kurt angle was only 5'9 and nobody called him short so if these tiny dudes were really anywhere close to 5'8 they wouldnt look so damn tiny. friedman is 5'5 and he looks it yet claims 5'8. lol no way
>>16208597>hogan hasnt shrunk.lmao
>>16208597also
>>16208609compared to rogan (5'9) he still looks 6'4 here
>>16208625rogan claims 5'9 but hes probably more 5'8
>>16208391I think Gaitch was wearing lifts as a wrestler which is why we remember him taller https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pWxXO92ApCE&pp=ygUXY29keSByaG9kZXMgdnMgdHJpcGxlIGg%3D
>>16208625lmao sure
>>16208647why hasnt jake shrunk hes the same age as hogan.no roids? no heavy lifting?
>>16208609hogan is still taller than everybody he takes pics with. nobody towers over him>>16208616notice you dont see his feet because he has those special shoes on
>>16208416>Cody is deceptively tall, like his faggot brother goldust>stone cold was shoot 5'10, but now is even shorter>gaytch was 6, now 5'11>Dwayne was 6'2.5, now 6'1.5>Randy was 6'4, still is
>>16208657why is orton a turbomanlet on that pic
Paul has shrunk in his old age.
>>16208652shrinking isnt a guarantee and genetics and health problems and a million other things can cause it imo hogan's shrinking most likely was from taking bumps as an older dude
>>16208652no back surgery
>>16208597>kurt angle was only 5'9 and nobody called him short so if these tiny dudes were really anywhere close to 5'8 they wouldnt look so damn tinyNah it's all about presentation. Like look at Jeff Jarrett. Always a smaller wrestler, barely looked bigger than Bryan Danielson in their match but never gets lumped in with other shorter wrestlers from the 90s because he got the nepo push. Kurt similarly with his Olympic cred.
>>16208684>>16208525>>16208452>>16208431hes 50 not 80
>>16208671It's a mystery. Clock makes the fool of history.
>>16208699And Kurt can easily throw larger guys around with little effort. I find wrestlers like that sort of break the mental conditioning to the viewer on seeing them as small pretty often. Just a psychological threat assessment thing. If you watch a Honey Badger fuck something up you're not gonna see them as a weird little critter anymore.
>>16208701Yeah but he abused his body with roids for decades and has a heart issue so his body is probably behaving like an 80-year-old's. Hormones are fucked, test is tanking, etc.
>>16208732he looks like shit without the makeup and camera angles and all that
>>16208699>it's all about presentationnot when the wrestlers are standing in the ring doing a promo and you notice how short they are. back in the day neither angle or jarrett looked as short as mjf or adam cole do today
>>16208741yeah those guys are tazz level height
>>16208741you just seem like a haterif you watch wrestling with a grudge you're going to find countless problems
>>16208741Jarrett literally looks small in AEW.
>>16208747i just dont think JJ was that short when he was in his 30s, hes just shrunk
>>16208772
>>16208775brutal mogging by big sexy
>>16208767Jeff and Page are pretty much the same height without the camera wankery
>>16208446You're sub-90 IQ if you think triple H isn't on some kind of TRT.
>>16208391Gaytch has ALWAYS worn lifts in his wrestling boots. HBK did the same thing btw.
>>16208625Rogan claims 5'8, so he's probably 5'7 at most.
>>16208391spinal fusion
>>16208391Cody probably has lifts on and Hunter isnt wearing his
>>16208657Great Khali is shoot 7"
>>16208391why the fuck do wrestler heights need to be faked by a few more inches anyway?, most of them are already taller than the general population on average
>>16209517to increase the female audience
>>16208657Cody is small by WWE standards but bigger than the average person/indie wrestler. I remember going to a roh show when he was first there and he was noticeably bigger than most of the other wrestlers despite looking small in WWE at least compared to the main event wrestlers
>>16209517It's just part of the legend building, for the same reason they're often billed from "cooler" cities than their actual hometown.
>>16209517aura
>>16209726>small by WWE standardsYou mean past WWE standards?
>>16208747>if you watch wrestling with a grudge you're going to find countless problemsnot trying to be overly negative just seeing something as obvious as a difference height and pointing it out. if dudes today really were 5'8 then they wouldnt look so short because guys from the past that were only 5'9 never looked as tiny as modern day aew midgets>>16208775hogan didnt want to lose the belt to bret because he was so small
>>16210095there isn't even a major height difference between aew and wwe in 2024
>>16210122nahhook, jungle boy, mjf, lil nigga, lio rush are all 5'5 maxthen the bucks kenny hangman cole are all 5'8 maxthe smaller top guys in wwe like la knight are probably 5'9-5'10id say it was closer when hhh ran nxt than now
>>16210122thats why shelton is working as a heavyweight over there?
>>16210122we all laughing at how tiny adam cole looked last week. nobody in wwe currently looks like that>>16210164not only a height difference but weigh/muscle mass difference. cole, hook, the bucks weigh less than 150 and have almost no muscle definition
>>16210164Pretty sure Hook is at least 5'10. When he is standing next to his 5'7 dad he is at least a few inches taller. He just needs to bulk.
>>16210164bron, fatu, solo, carmelo, tozawa, gable, dragon lee, jd, rey, tyler bate, buch, the 10 lucha guys no one can name, etchangman is the same height as punk who mogs most of the guys he's seen withokada is around the same height as roman>>16210181He was Brock Lesnars sparring partner, I think you're just confused because he was painfully misused
>>16208391People shrink overtime. In his prime I think Paul was 6.3. Height we do know for sure are >Steve Austin - 6.2 (Police report)>Brock Lesnar - 6.3 (Police report)>Paul White - 7.0 (Police Report)>Chris Jericho - 5.10 (Police Report)>Scott Hall - 6.3 (Police Report)
>>16210193triple h is the guy who gave him a national platform in the first place. i don't think he should be in a ring like that but paul would be pushing him rn if tony somehow fired him
>>16210198taz is shoot 5'4 even he says the 5'7 was BS
>>16210213im shocked scott hall isnt taller than that desu
>>16210211>He was Brock Lesnars sparring partnerok? still a cruiserweight
>>16210231He's not. Presentation can warp your perception pretty wildly, especially in a fake sport like wrestling.
>>16210254>Presentation can warp your perception pretty wildlyYes and everyone else in WWE is bigger so he had to work cruiserweight. thats the whole point lmao
>>16210265He worked more athletically because he's a sick athlete
>>16210216>triple h is the guy who gave him a national platform in the first placeyeah he gives the vanilla midgets more of a chance vince wouldnt let cole appear on the main roster. only way was if he would become a manager>>16210224hall is taller than 6'3 no way steve austin is a ONLY 1 inch shorter than scott hall
>>16210273and would have sucked as a heavyweight since everyone else was bigger
>>16210308kek sure kid, that's why he wasn't pushed
>>16210095>guys from the past that were only 5'9 never looked as tiny as modern day aew midgetsNot even the height difference between an actual big guy from the past and a smaller AEW main eventer is as drastic as you're making it out to be. I don't even like AEW but get real man
>>16210322Daniel Bryan only won the world title multiple times because he's whiteShelton clears, Bryan is dogshit in the ring
>>16210322he didnt get a bigger push because he has no charisma but thats another issue
>>16210340>get real manhasnt seen mama wayne height mog little swerve
>>16210348I dig both. Too bad we never got a healthy Bryan vs his new version of Shelton in AEW.
>>16208647
>>16210389crazy, wwf gaslit me into thinking he was 6'7
>>16210302I think I fucked that up - he's either 6.4 or 6.5. Again, you can check records and mugshots. I think Bret Hart is 6ft.
>>16208652Jake was a smart worker and didnt sawdust his back by taking retarded bumpsHogans spine problem is from doing that leg drop night after night, especially on that old WWF ring which was apparently like concrete jump up in the air and fall on year ass night after night its gonna compress your spine and give you issues
