How tall was Andre the Giant realistically?

[O.iatlhawksfan]

No way he was 7'4, Wilt Chamberlain was 7'1 and he looks shorter

@Hogan in the Wolfpac

 

[Alexander The Great]

think he was legit between 6'10 - 7 ft

 

[Starboy52]

A shade under 7'0. Maybe 6'11.5

 

[HipHopStan]

Didn't he lose some of his height after a back surgery?

 

[jackswstd]

I think they always said he was a legit 6'10 maybe 6'11. Vince Jr. used to have him stand on something when he interviewed him to make him look taller, or something along the lines of that. Hogan was billed as 6'8 around the time of Mania 3.

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

7'6

does it matter? i heard the dude was miserable and that he had a major drinking problem - he had the ability to drink 156 16-US-fluid-ounce (470 ml) beers in one sitting

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

7'6

LET'S BE HONEST, HE WAS ONLY 7'5", BROTHER!

PHOTOS CAN BE DECEPTIVE, BROTHER! AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE SHADOWS, THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN DURING THE SUMMER SOLSTICE, THE REFLECTION FROM THE CHROME BUS ON THE LEFT IS DISTORTING THE IMAGE, AND ALSO ANDRE WAS A HUMBLE GUY WHO DIDN'T WANT TO OUTSHINE WILT CHAMBERLAIN SO HE GAVE WILT A PAIR OF BOOTS WITH LIFTS IN THEM BUT HE DIDN'T TELL HIM, DUDE! ALSO ANDRE JUST GOT A HAIRCUT, MEAN GENE!

"I said, "HOGAN!", uhhh, not Hogan, excuse me, I said, "GIANT! ANDRE!"

[ADK]

When I met him I towered over him by a good 3 inches
