can your friend magically tell how tall someone is just by looking at him or did he say "taker stand here for a second while i measure how tall you are"?

I'm 6'3 and I've seen to a WWE live show and these real highs are bullshit.

Big Show was defo almost a foot taller than me, so was any the guys who are billed at their height... And considering Kane and Big Show squaring up, there is only an inch or so between them, it makes sure for Kane to be the right height.

Too much looking into nothing.

I'm around 220...

The reason wrestlers die is because of their weight and their height... It's too much pressure on the body, if I lost all the fat I had and gained it all in muscle, my heart would be under so much pressure.

People don't think shit through before typing.

Whats sad is almost everyone is over 6 feet. It's a shame WWE doesn't give littler guys bigger chances.

Only "little" guys really to make it big is Punk, Bryan, and Mysterio. And to a lesser extent, RVD.

Average height is 5'10". Most people measure height with shoes on boosting them to 6 foot. 6 foot then being the average it makes sense that so many are that or above not to mention the fact that most people in athletics in general tend to be on the taller side. Shame on them for not pushing smaller guys but can you name 3 smaller guys in the past ten years that should have had it?

Was directed towards OP and people presuming that wrestlers die from their height.

It's all about how much pressure they put on their hearts... I'm five inches above average, so I should drop dead real soon according to what people have said in this thread. Kinda dumb.

I know from being around some of the guys they are smaller then what you are used to seeing. However, I also know some of them are rather large! In fact my kids went to school with one of them and he was absolutely huge and built like a chicken house!
