Average hamstring at best Member 4663, 588 posts	I've always understood Hall to be 6'3" he just looks short because of his frame and short arms. I thought z was 6'4" but what difference does an inch make.....haha

I once stood in a line up for competition where every competitor (myself included) had stated they were 6ft+, much to the amusement of the crowd, who could see that it patently wasn't the case. I will however say that I'm pretty sure that Ed is genuinely 6ft 3. He might just look shorted as he becomes increasingly cubic. Someone here said 180kg recently I think?

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5207 posts	The wwe are the worst for heights. I stood next to the 6'6 Batista. He had about 3 inches on me at the most. I am 6.

level 4 bioCheese Member 5265, 82 posts	Yes they always seem to add a few inches and exaggerate the weight. Warlord was always my favourite when I used to watch he had some build, always wondered if his bench press on the show(if anyone remembers it) was genuine.

My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6051 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225 550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq	Rodger said: Martin Bayfield (6' 10") Same issue with Colin Bryce to a degree. Whilst not that tall he is a pretty stacked individuals and that can somewhat detract from the massive size of the competitors. They should get Peewee Herman to present WSM!

level 4 bioCheese Member 5265, 82 posts	Yes that's true, and even when they have had female interviewers in recent years they have usually been absurdly tall.

He's also quite broad for a "regular" dude. I love it though... They should state "Billed height" like WWE. At the end of the day, the public want freaks for strongman. I think they should all be forced to wear heal raisers for an extra inch or two.

Happily we rarely seem to be subjected to Commentators mentioning that a particular strongman has "arms the size of most people's legs" or that two strongmen "weigh about the same as a Rugby front row" these days.
