Jd Mcdonagh's Real Height Examined: Side-by-Side Photos and Tale of the Tape
By Alexander Ross
Promoters have embellished superstar measurements for over a century. Andre the Giant was billed at 7 ft 4 in despite standing closer to 6 ft 11 in during his prime. Hulk Hogan’s legendary 6 ft 7 in frame hovered around 6 ft 4 in once back surgeries and spinal compressions took their toll. This convention did not vanish with the arrival of corporate boardrooms. It evolved.
WWE superstar measurements serve dramatic pacing. A wrestler listed at 5 ft 10 in sounds like a standard light-heavyweight who can believably trade strikes with an upper-midcard powerhouse. A performer listed at 5 ft 7 in is immediately pigeonholed into underdog cruiserweight territory. For JD McDonagh, retaining a listed height near 5 ft 10 in preserves his aura as a legitimate threat against the red brand's heavyweight division.
