"When I graduated high school, I was 6-5 and 305. I think I swallowed a magic bean pill."
~ Braun Strowman
One of the biggest and strongest pro-wrestlers of WWE -- Adam Scherr aka Braun Strowman is a man known for his raw and naked strength. He is a big brawny fellow who looks like could twist a normal human being like a towel (you can thank us for the graphic image in the comment section).
Anyway, the question is how big exactly is Mr. Strowman?
WWE lists Mr. Strowman at the respectable height of 6-feet-8 inches, and that's the height Mr. Strowman claims for himself as well.
Do we agree with it -- no, like we don't agree with everything WWE says. WWE was at one time inflating its wrestlers' height by 2 inches on average (perhaps in the hope of making them look even bigger and thus even more intimidating).
Though WWE doesn't inflate the height of its wrestlers as much as it used to do, we believe that it has added a couple of inches to the already mighty stature of Braun Strowman.
Why do we think so? After carefully looking at Mr. Strowman and comparing his height to that of some other celebrities like Brock Lesnar (6'2"), Randy Orton (6'4") Tyson Fury (6'7½"), and some others, we think Mr. Strowman looks like his height belongs between the numbers 6'6" and 6'7" -- not close to 6'8" -- more is the pity.
He is tall enough to be considered a giant but just short enough to be not included in the elite giant club of the wrestling world, whose exalted members include wrestlers no less than The Undertaker (6'8" to 6'6½"), The Big Show, Kane (6'8"), Kevin Nash (6'9"), Andre the Giant (7"), Big Show (7" to 6'10"), The Great Khali (7'1") and the mighty Giant Gonzalez (7'6").
The real height of Braun Strowman is
6'6½" or 200 cm
