  @San Achmad They always exaggerate wrestler heights, or are inconsistent with them.
  
  Back in WWE when Jon Moxley (then Dean Ambrose) was feuding with Dolph Ziggler, Ambrose was billed as 6'4 and Dolph as 6'0. But nose to nose, there wasn't more than an inch between them.
  
  I've actually met Jay Reso (Christian) at a couple of conventions and signings. I'm 6'3 and he's shorter than me.
  
  Nick Wayne's height is also wrong. He's 5'11.
