Okay, I know wrestling heights are all worked, but I swear Triple H used to be taller. What happened to him? He looks shoot 5'9 now.

yup, also here he has wrestling boots on so will be getting another inch over regular shoes depending on how insecure they are about their heights via lifts

less 'heavy weightlifting' and more 'their hormones are going back to what they should be and they're not cranking out as much of the good hormones that make you look good as before'. roid trannyism is very real.

You usually subtract 2 inches from the billed height but occasionally you get someone like Billy Gunn or Drew McIntyre who are billed correctly and it throws everyone off because all the other shoot 6'5" guys bill themselves as like 7 feet tall

hogan hasnt shrunk. most wrestlers just lie about their height. all the little guys around today that we call short claim to be 5'8. kurt angle was only 5'9 and nobody called him short so if these tiny dudes were really anywhere close to 5'8 they wouldnt look so damn tiny. friedman is 5'5 and he looks it yet claims 5'8. lol no way

Nah it's all about presentation. Like look at Jeff Jarrett. Always a smaller wrestler, barely looked bigger than Bryan Danielson in their match but never gets lumped in with other shorter wrestlers from the 90s because he got the nepo push. Kurt similarly with his Olympic cred.

And Kurt can easily throw larger guys around with little effort. I find wrestlers like that sort of break the mental conditioning to the viewer on seeing them as small pretty often.
Just a psychological threat assessment thing. If you watch a Honey Badger fuck something up you're not gonna see them as a weird little critter anymore.

Jake was a smart worker and didnt sawdust his back by taking retarded bumps
Hogans spine problem is from doing that leg drop night after night, especially on that old WWF ring which was apparently like concrete
