How is Kai Greene too short, considering that the former champion, Dexter Jackson, was 5'6"?

Height has nothing to do with it. Its about who presents the best overall package on stage.

Average height is 5'8"; Columbu is 5'5"; Jackson is 5'6". Bannout is 5'7"; and Scott was 5'8".

i believe 5'10 is average height in America. 

Kai does not look to be the same height as Jay, he appears to be 2-3 inches shorter in those photos.  I would put him at around 5'5-5'6.

I agree that the Olympia should be tall, or at last around avg height.  Not a fan of the super short bbers

Then you're a fucking moron...where have you ever seen that he was near that height...

I think 5'10" is the height of the average man world wide. In the U.S 5'8"-5'9" is the average.  :-\
Bodybuilding was always a short man's sport. The exceptions like Arnold etc, would dominate. It wasn't until the huge increase in drug use that guys over 5'9" became as thick and dense as their short counter parts. Now it's the short guys that rarely win because they're standing next to guys 2-3" taller but just as thick and full.

No, not really, it's all in how you "look" at it---so a 5'11 woman told me---I'm 5'5... damn she was fine, and damn, damn, i miss her.

Discrimination against short BBr's is just an excuse for tall people who can't put on enough muscle to compete...........unless you think you can stand next to someone who's shorter (like me) and win..........shut your pie hole!

I would guess that Kai is 5'7.4483209840932483204320 8" based on meeting him at the 2008 Mr. Olympia.  He is taller than Dexter but shorter than Jay.  In short [no pun intended] he is tall enough to be Mr. Olympia.

Bill Willmore may have come in off but at 5'10 he must be huge in person carrying that much mass.

 ::) Translation : The argument used to rationalize Dorian beating Ray.

No , no the argument that Dorian beat Ray because he was much bigger , harder , drier and better balanced oh and wider too and just plain better   ;)

which proves my point , the judges have criteria they must adhere to and if someone meets part of that criteria better than others he shouldn't be awarded the title

perfect example despite not being the most ' symmetrical ' Dorian never lost a symmetry round ever wonder why? All rounds are physique rounds meaning symmetry is not judged as a separate and distinct entity , all rounds are physique rounds that means all the criteria is assessed in every round . muscular bulk , balance & proportion , density & dryness , etc

You can't give the overall title to a guy who is very hard and dry , yet lacks balance & muscular bulk , same with the muscularity round you can't give the title to the biggest guy if he's lacking in density & dryness , it's the guy who meets ALL of this criteria better than the others who is usually crowned the victor

Shawn Ray would have been multiple Mr Olympia if he was competing in 1981/1982/1983 the sport passed him by eons ago although he did very well for himself as did Lee Labrada

This is true.

I still think that the kind of physique that Ray and Labrada had would represent the sport much better but the reality is that the judges are going for a different look and as long as an athlete has that look for each round then they will be judged accordingly.

Still, I think that the whole judging procedure, the whole process, ought to be changed and made more transparent. But that's another thread right there.

As for Kai being too short, hell no.
