Pro Wrestling legend Chris Jericho was never a tall wrestler. You just have to look at him to know he is far from tall. His body suggests that of a short, squat, but a fast man - which he is.
His body stature is very similar to wrestlers like Kurt Angle (peak 5'10"), late Chris Benoit (5'9") or even Mike Tyson (5'10"), rather than someone like John Cena who is slightly above the 6" mark.
Now Mr. Jericho once claimed to be six feet tall, then five feet eleven inches tall. Perhaps in due time he will come to five feet ten inches as well, which is where we think his real height is - but only on the wrong side of it (lower side).
The real height of Chris Jericho is
5'9.5" or 176.5 cm
