I'm surprised for him to even mention Chris Benoit. I'm glad despite what happen outside the ring people still remember how fantastic he was in the ring
The wrestling world heights are different from real world heights. In real life, being 6 foot is tall. Wrestling, 6 foot is average. Angle was like 5'10, so in wrestling, he's below average.
Shawn was 5'11 ½ in his peak. 6 foot in ring with his wrestling boots on. Just like Bret Hart, Jeff Hardy, RVD, etc . He wasn't as small as the guys mentioned in the video (who are 5'8 to 5'10 peak)
@@JustErik92 billed height was 6'1. Real height (in his peak) was 5'11 and a half. Over six feet in ring with boots on. A good 3 inches taller than the peak height of guys mentioned by taker.
It's not in the real world though. In the real world 5'9 is the global average height, so 6 feet is considered tall. But in professional wrestling yeah, 6 feet is considered short or small. You gotta remember, back in The Undertaker's early career in the 80's and 90's, wrestlers were huge, most were at least 6'3 or above in height. Today that is long gone and very different but I can understand where he is coming from, his perspective is basically still from the 70's 80's and 90's, so that makes sense.
Chris Benoit wrestled a whole summer in the early 90s in Vienna, Austria, for a promotion called CWA. Nobody knew him, but he stole the show every night. I also remember taking a picture with him and getting his autograph. Wish I still had it.
That is a great list. WWE was smart to give the smaller guys their shine. They did such an amazing job, especially in the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression Eras. Honorable mentions for me would have to be Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, and I'm missing a bunch of names I'm sure.
I'm glad you put Benoit on this list, His mark on wrestling is legendary the guy was a great wrestler one of the best I personally ever seen. I've always refused to comment on a wrestler's personal life because I do not know that person, I'm not that familiar with who Mark Calloway is. Yet I grew up knowing who the Undertaker is. I like having that line in the sand so I can let my imagination run wild without it being tainted by who they are as a person. I feel like a lot of wrestling fans get that mixed up they see somebody on TV for years and think they know that person when in reality they're just fans of a character, Benoit was a walking stick of dynamite in the ring.
Sorry but im going to have to remove Angle from the list. He IS 6 feet tall. Replace him with Rey because he is the blueprint of what a "little guy" wrestler should be
As far as Kurt being 6’ as an eligibility, Bret Hart was also “only” 6’ tall, so… 🤷♂️. I’m really surprised that Shawn Micheals wasn’t on the list. AJ is the Phenomenal One… but he’s not Mr. Wrestlemainia! 💥😎💥
Honestly, I respect him throwing Benoit in there. Dude was a fucking madman in the ring and I LOVED watching him. It’s hard when you gotta separate the art from the artist.
Great list their all of my favorites, wouldve added Rey, Y2J, Jeff Hardy, RVD, CM Punk and Christian and thats my top 10 not necessarily in that order, but yeah I agree for sure.
Rey would be number 5 for me couldnt really put him above the other 4 in my opinion but also couldnt argue with someone who put him number 1 as wrestling is about perspective and peoples personal taste
@@JustErik92 5'10" is taller than the average male. A small guy is someone 5'6" and under. Its not that complicated to understand. Rey Mysterio is a small guy, Kurt Angle is not. Evan Bourne is a small guy, HBK is not. Neville is a small guy, Chris Benoit is not.
Chris Benoit, the character, belongs in the hall of fame, even if Christopher Michael Benoit does not. The man is dead, he does not get anything out of it, might as well introduce the character in the hall for the sake of the amazing matches, and for his remaining family.
I'm sorry, there is just no one, NO ONE who could compare to Rey Mysterio, small man, big man, whatever. His athleticism, talent, and acrobatics in the ring were just other worldly. He may not be the most "famous," but he could do things that no other wrestler would even think about trying in the ring. He doesn't get enough credit and for the undertaker to not even acknowledge him here is a shame on the deadman.
To leave Mysterio off of this list especially since he is still doing it at his age just as agile with his moves as he was 25 years ago is just, as Stephen A. Smith would say, BLASPHEMOUS!!!
Fantastic list. Yeah I don’t agree with what Benoit did to his family at all but he was an incredible performer. I believe hbk is over 6ft but you can make a strong case for Rey n Jericho. Not sure if I’d swap out any of those four for these two but great list
newsflash Undertaker, you were never 6' 10" you were lucky if you reached 6' 6" peak height with heels on the wrestling boots. Now at your current age, you be looking barely 6' 4". Six foot is not short, I'd say under 5' 9" is short
The Olympics listed Kurt as 5'10", but of course WWE added a few inches. Bret actually seemed to be 6' in his prime when you compare him to other wrestlers and celebrities.
Exactly. I never thought of Angle as one of the small guys. Or what about Shawn Michaels? Isn’t he smaller than both Angle and Hart? Why wouldn’t he be on Undertaker‘s list considering Undertaker views him as the greatest in ring performer of all time?
Taker... Redo your list brother. Two of the men you mentioned are average height. I'm 6'1, I've stood next to AJ, he was only an inch or two shorter than me. Got the picture picture prove it. That's average height for an American male. I'm slightly above average. You sir, are big as hell. Lol Now I don't know how tall Angle is but he also may not fall into the category of "Short guys". They may be short to you but they aren't short in general. And don't tell us they're considered short in the wrestling business because that also isn't true. Most of you are billed way over your actual heights. And if you take into account all of pro wrestling, not just WWE where Vince preferred giants, they are well within the average across the business. They aren't short guys Taker.
Shawn was 6'1 in his prime years in the WWF. Now he might be a bit under 6'0 feet since he is much older but back in his prime, he was a solid 6'1, so he does not qualify for Mark's list.
Put your personal feelings aside and look at art in the craft that they worked in. Benoit was better in the ring, on the mic and way more intense. He added the rawness to it, that few other men could. And Rey is definitely not one of those men.
@@dixonb.tweenerlegs4225 And then he used that same raw intensity to eliminate his family. You can't separate the wrestler from the man, he destroyed his own legacy, stop making excuses just because he did that "wrasslin'" oh so good.
