Here he is next to Andre the Giant...who stood around 7'3/7'4-ish. This would be I guess what you would call Hogan's prime. Back in the day, Hogan was around 6'7/6'8 dude. Hogan himself and other wrestlers have acknowledged this. The multiple surgeries he had on his back made him shrink 3-4inches...it's insane what he's put himself through.
Dude really fucked up his back and even when him and Rock clashed, the guy shouldn't have been wrestling then...but he needed $$$ and has one of the biggest ego's on planet earth.
