Jericho is one of my all time favorites, but I'm 6'4 and I met the guy in a bar and he's not 5'10 or anything like that. That 5'8 rumor might be true. He actually kind of struck me as even shorter than that, but maybe just because I was surprised in general that he was so much shorter than I would've expected. I just remember reaching down to give him that friendly slap on the shoulder when I shook his hand. That's a credit to him though. He first got big in the business during a time when being a giant was still so much more important than it is today. His presence was gigantic.

[@daerth4423]

I met Jericho at a signing (at a gas station🤣) in his later WCW days. I'm 5'8" and he was definitely taller then me but not by much at all. Maybe an inch, inch and a half at most.

[@DevendraSharma-gq7sb]

Of course, he is shorter than he really is 😂😂 ever saw his boots he wore lifts.

[@MarcGillen-nv1tj]

Jericho is definitely tiny. That's why when he's 15lbs over weight, he looks so fat. He has a pudgy guys fake six pack. I got him at 5'7"....I'm 5'11...a real 5'11, I'm 6'in work boots. My dad is 5'7"and I tower over him in a way that's clearly obvious. 75lbs heavier also, at 235. It's a huge difference.

[@youssefnasser9183]

I think his billed height was before his legs bowed so he was probably about 5'9 during wcw and wwf

[@terryindachat7296]

Jericho stood next to Ernie Johnson on TNT, and Ernie is 6'1 and Jericho looked like a midget next to him, so he has to be 5'7.

[@scottsacala]

Have a friend who took a pic with him who says he's 5'4" himself. He was a good two inches taller than Rey. Usually when you want to see how tall a wrestler is, look how tall they are compared to the top rope. Some of the women are up higher next to that than he is. It's come to the point where Rey bounces off the second rope during an irish whip these days, instead of the top rope.

[@stevemelnyk7480]

@@watchreport There are drawbacks to being taller too, though. For example, if you like/prefer women, not sure I'd want to be 6'5"+ as it would be hard to hold hands with your woman etc. Real tall guy/shorter woman couples just look very awkward. Also, in terms of equating height to dick size as I know quite a few people seem to do, look at a guy like Ron Jeremy. He's only 5'4" but women never complained about his penis size. Women should not automatically look at a shorter guy and automatically dismiss us as being small below the belt.

In reality though, unless you want to play pro sports like basketball or football, how tall does a guy really have to be? In wrestling, I don't think it's necessary to be tall unless it's a federation like the WWE who mainly hires tall guys. Same with other sports like soccer and baseball. Men who constantly harp on height and criticize others for being shorter I think prefer to bend over behind closed doors.

Taker told Trump on Six feet under that he's 6'8 and "compressed" from bumps. Either way he's still a very tall guy. *Edit* I'm finishing up the vid and I love you, Stevie. But you're BAD at this! I'm giving Jericho 5'9 at Best. Also, what you said about lifts is very true. Even for everyday use. Lifts tilt you forward in an unnatural position. And if you have a trained eye, you can easily spot men who wear them. Personally, I'd rather just wear shoes with thicker heels on the outside. But those probably aren't practical in the ring. Rhyno always looked taller to me! That one was a shocker. Still watching. But I just wanna say that CM Punk is legitimately whatever height they say he is, and he's deceptively large. I saw a fan pic of him with some guy at the gym, and his frame made him look massive despite not having an impressive physique. His most recent PPV match had him looking the best he's ever looked in his career. And with more time to train he'll probably come back looking even better. Also, there's an old EPSN interview with Coach and The Rock, and Coach actually looked taller than Rock. So I believe Stevie about Coach shrinking himself in WWE.

I've always taken off 2" as a rule of thumb. Undertaker is often someone who comes up on these lists. It's possible that at one point early on, he was legitimately 6'10".

Eddie is 5’8’’, whilst Benoit is 5’9’’. Minor, but there is a difference. Shawn Michaels was never 6ft+. He’s 5’10’’ or 5’10’’ and a half at best. Cena is exactly 6ft and Punk is not even close to 6’2’’. He’s close in height to Cena and you can see it in the 2,975 matches they’ve ever had. He’s 5’11’’ to Cenas 6ft.
