Sid Vicious
Sid Justice
Sycho Sid
Lord Humongous
Whatever you want to call him. There's absolutely no doubt that he was a top wrestler
And a hugely intimidating presence in the ring
But exactly what height does Sid Eudy claim?
Fellow wrestler Bret Hart once said
What Sid Eudy lacked as a worker, he made up for as a Great Looking Specimin
He was well muscled at Six Foot Nine, with a big Square Jaw
Now Sid indeed might have been billed as a colossal Six Foot Nine during his career
But did he ever actually claim that?
Well, he once filled in a datasheet
and gave his Height as Six Foot Eight and his Weight as 318 pounds
and his nickname was Skyscraper
I mean would you question Psycho Sid if he told you he was Six Foot Eight?
I know Hulk Hogan certainly wouldn't
Whenever those two guys were in the ring
It was Hogan who was staring up at Sycho Sid!
Hogan definitely could look near two inches shorter and Sid claiming Six Foot Eight certainly helps
Hogan's own claim of Six Foot Six
Now I've seen some people claim that Sid might have worn lifts in his boots
But whenever you saw Sycho Sid in his wrestling gear
His boots didn't look anything out of the ordinary
Ted DiBiase might disagree. I've absolutely no idea
What's going on there.
Sid looks like he's up right up there in Kevin Nash territory
Which of course isn't the case
Now Diesel does look like he's at least a couple of inches taller than Sid
But as much as 3 inches?
Well that's debatable!
What about one of the greatest wrestlers of all time?
Yes, I'm talking about the Undertaker. Was Sid really as tall as him?
Well I'm not convinced he was.
For an extremely big guy like Sid in the ring he stood remarkably well in face-offs
In fact, I'd call him the wrestling equivalent
of Sylvester Stallone
for maximizing his posture to intimidate his opponents
But the biggest shock of all is that this year Sid dropped an enormous?
BOMBSHELL
In a Podcast Interview, he was asked
What's your height?
for real!
Now Sid's answer caught most of us by surprise
except, for the Mexican Mentor
Who is that, you might ask?
Well the Mexican Mentor
is a mysterious figure who once popped up on CelebHeights.com
with his Hide List
Which is the true barefoot heights
of Wrestlers and on it
Sid was listed as 198 centimetres
or Six Foot Six
Surely not? Impossible, right?
Anyway, in reply to the Podcaster
Sid gave the brutal, honest truth
That no other wrestlers want to hear
Sid...is only Six Foot Six
BAREFOOT!
That's a whole inch less than the average guess on CelebHeights.com
Now I considered Sid around 6 foot 6 and a half
Because that's the bare minimum he tended to look in the wrestling ring
The thing is though, when Sid was arrested
He didn't actually look much above 6 foot 6 in shoes.
But to be fair...he isn't in his prime there
He's probably lost some height by then
There's one more photo I'd like to show you
and that's with a former contributor to CelebHeights.com
The Magnificent Mamun
Now Mamun measured himself at 5 foot 8 or 173 centimetres
And he actually met up with other Celeb Heights visitors
So he's that true 5ft 8 guy
And here he is with Big Sid Eudy
Now Sid might have a little camera and sneaker advantage
but both of them are standing very well and Sid, he looks absolutely Enormous there!
So what do you guys think? Do you really believe Sid measured only
Six Foot Six barefoot
Or do you reckon he measured above that
and simply forgot or doesn't care
about an extra half inch
