Chamberlain honestly makes Andre not look like he was always billed in the WWF as 7’5”. Was Wilt taller than 7?

Not saying wilt or Andre isn’t tall though
andre wasn't 7'4" he was barely 7'. At this point in his career he may have been shorter due to age and gravity.

But yeah, he used to stand on stepping stools when doing interviews next to Vince who was like 6'2" or 3" himself

Yeah. Died from an infection in his ankle.

quote:

On July 4, 1940, during a professional appearance at the Manistee National Forest Festival, a faulty brace irritated his ankle, leading to infection. He was treated with a blood transfusion and surgery, but his condition worsened due to an autoimmune disorder; he died in his sleep on July 15.

The article said there was no evidence that his hgh had stopped either, I can't imagine how much bigger he would have gotten.

I saw Arnold once in person and he really isn’t that tall at all…he didn’t seem very imposing in person.

You're not going to see many NBA sized Mr. Universes.

I don't care what the "claim" is about Schwarzenegger's height.

I have a buddy who is 6'1". He was a competition body builder.

He has a photo of him beside Arnold. Both are barefooted. He is at least 4" taller than the Terminator.
