Numerous people said WWE exaggerate height and weight on a superstar. Like Hulk Hogan, who the say is 6 ft 7 or 8. The thing i'm wondering is if he's that tall then how come Tiny Lister who plays Zeus is 6 ft 5 and stands eye to eye with Hogan.

Do WWE exaggerate height And weight?

They do to an extent. Some more than others. Some wrestlers have lifts in their boots to look taller than they are

They add anywhere from 3 to 5 inches to almost everyone. With weight, they do it as well but some guys are legit with their weight.

Andre the Giant never measured over 6'11" yet he was billed as 7'5". In fact, if you watch his matches and him standing next to Hogan, you can tell he was not a foot taller than Hogan, billed at 6'7" at the time.

And Giant Gonzales was billed at 8 feet tall when he was only 7'7". So yeah, they do.

And Rey Mysterio ain't no 5'6". I am 5'6" and he is shorter than me, I know because I've met him and he was shorter than me.
