The world of wrestling is about showmanship
and Height Listings form part of that mythos
Wrestlers by nature are huge guys both in physique and height
And adding a couple of inches to their actual measurements
Makes them seem even more larger than life
In today's modern era, John Cena is one of the most popular and successful figures in wrestling
but in terms of stature
How tall is he?
Really?
As a wrestler John has been billed at a pretty consistent
Six foot One and 250 pounds
He's even been described as tall as six foot two before
During his career. He's fought and won against many of the biggest names in the sport
Cena holds his own with many of the best wrestlers out there and it's easy to believe
His wrestling listing is legit
Even with the giants of the ring like The Undertaker
Big show and the Great Khali, he's not exactly
getting dwarfed
But with basketball players though, that's another story
Check John out here with Yao Ming
Can you believe that Yao once tried to claim he was only 7 foot 3?
Or what about with the towering Taco Fall? Who measured in the 7 foot 5 range
To be fair, even Taco can make Kevin Nash look like Rey Mysterio
So exactly what height does John Cena claim?
like Sid Eudy, John falls into that tiny camp of wrestlers who actually claim
To be shorter than their billed heights
In a 2006 Khalej Times interview he mentioned
I know that i'm six feet
245 pounds and i'm a sports entertainer
Then in 2009 he doubled down on that figure
I'm, six feet tall and 250 pounds
but even if I look like the Terminator on screen there's a very human side to my character
Cena's physique could be the Prototype for a future Terminator
And he even looks taller than the original
but to be fair to Arnie
his Endoskeleton has lost a bit of height
John repeated his claim for a third time in the Sun Chronicle when he was asked how tall he was
I am six feet and if I wear cool shoes I'm maybe Six One.
You know who else claims six foot? Jimmy fallon
Moving on, here's another Jimmy who claims 6 foot 1, but was measured under six foot
John Cena reminds me of a modest Chris Pine who also claims to be an even Six Foot
But if you look at Pine with someone like Simon Pegg who claims to be five foot ten
Does that look like a two inch difference to you?
And Pegg has medical certificates to prove it.
I wonder....
Which Doctor measured him?
John's been photographed with many famous names in Hollywood
And he typically gives the impression of being a very strong Six footer
Well, most of the time
With John's stock in Hollywood growing every year
he's transformed himself into a dependable actor
even being allowed to out muscle and out measure
Vin Diesel
I reckon Cena is a good example of a celebrity
Who measures a bit over 6 foot but doesn't bother claiming the fraction
And the CelebHeights.com visitors agree
From 500 votes they reckon John Cena's height is 6 foot
and almost half an inch
