Paul Levesque aka Triple H is without a doubt one of the greatest pro-wrestlers of all time -- but how "great" is his height?
Well, Triple H is certainly above-average tall but there are loads of other big and bigger guys in the wrestling world, which makes Triple H kind of average tall for a pro-wrestler.
Like Triple H looks like a giant against someone like little Rey Mysterio (5'2"), but looks tiny against real giants like Kane (6'8"), Undertaker (6'7½"), and Big Show (7" in his prime).
WWE "billed" Triple H as 6-feet-4 inches tall. That is the height he himself has claimed to be in the past.
You might be wondering what this "billed" height is anyway? Well, "billed" height is used in the pro-wrestling world to denote how tall a wrestler is supposed to be with footwear and whatnot -- for example, Kurt Angle was only 5-feet-10 inches tall (as his Olympic record show as well) but he was "billed" by WWE as 6-feet-2 inches tall wrestler.
Yes, WWE inflates its wrestlers' height (sometimes weight too) but not as much now as it used to do in the attitude era and before.
So Triple H is certainly not 6-feet-4 inches tall, so how tall is he exactly?
If you look carefully at Triple H, you will notice that Triple H looks around an inch shorter than 6-feet-3 inches tall guy like The Rock (He really isn't 6'5") or Dave Bautista (not 6'5" again), and against a genuine 6-feet-4 inches tall Randy Orton, Triple H looked around two inches shorter.
In fact, Triple H has been almost identical in height to 6-feet-2 inches tall pro-wrestlers like William Goldberg and Brock Lesnar. And slightly taller than someone like John Cena, who is slightly above the six feet mark.
These height comparisons and some more made us believe that Triple H was really around the 6-feet-2 inches mark in his prime on a stadiometer.
Though he is not in his prime anymore and looks a wee bit shorter than he used to be. Height loss with age is a real thing -- it happens mainly due to the compression and dehydration of the spinal discs -- due to age, injury, and disease.
The height of Triple H is
6'1½" or 187 cm
Height in his prime was 6'2"
