I recently saw Hogan in a Rent a Center commercial with former Cowboys quarterback, Troy Aikman, who, at 6'4" seemed to have at least 2" on Hogan. Has the back surgeries shrunk Hogan to the point where he's now about 6'2"?
-
It's a very possible and fairly common occurrence in people who have back surgeries.
He's had several.
I think he's had a couple of knee surgeries, too; plus he's getting on in age.
-
You mean he is not six nine, two ninety five any longer?
-
Not sure if its truth or myth that one shrinks a tad with age but in his prime Hogan was a legit 6'5" tall. Factor in a weight of 302lbs and you have one big boy.

There is some truth, but I think it varies greatly; i.e. it doesn't affect everyone, nor does it affect everyone the same.
It's happened (to a noticeable degree) to quite a few people on my Mom's side.

Must have had the same guy measuring his height as Tully did his weight....238lbs..... ;D
I'd say Hogan's back surgeries have certainly contributed to him "shrinking" and it does indeed happen a bit with age as our spine continues to compress over time. and with Hogan always carrying a lot of size/weight, that would also factor in.

Back surguries along with age combined I would say.

Epic photoshop.

Don't fool yourselves, Hogan is a big boy regardless of age.

I am a little concerned by his penguin-like posture though.

Just a bad camera angle, brother.

That has to be a photoshop.....look how tiny Hogans feet are compared to Troy.

Absolutely a photochop.

This one, too?

Again, its just the angle. Unless the guy is taller. Taller doesn't equal "bigger". I know lots of guys in my gym over 6' that are skinny pipsqueaks.

No, that one looks accurate.....can't you see how much bigger Hogan is compared to Troy in the second pic vs the 1st pic?

He was another big boy in the early to late seventies.
