Here is a list with info for 21 wrestlers, past and present with some level of importance who are in all probability as tall, or taller than 6.5 feet (2 meters):

Giant Gonzalez

Reis

The Great Khali

Giant Silva

The Big Show

Andre the Giant

Eli Cottonwood

Kevin Nash

Kurrgan

Nathan Jones

Giant Baba

Matt Morgan

The Undertaker

Uncle Elmer

Kane

Ernie Ladd

Giant Haystacks

Psycho Sid

Big John Studd

Big Daddy V

One Man Gang

1. Jorge González, whose actual height is/was roughly 7'6.5" (230cm) was known as Giant Gonzalez in WWF and El Gigante in WCW. He is the tallest commonly known wrestler. He was billed 7'7" and "nearly" 8' tall.

2. Ron Reis, at 7'2", was also known as Ron Studd and the Yeti in WCW. Surprisingly billed this height even when The Big Show (then The Giant) was billed at 7'4" in WCW, and being as much as 2" shorter than Reis. As the Yeti he was merely billed as "THAT MAN IS TALLER THAN THE GIANT!" Over 7'1" is more than likely.

3. Dalip Singh, currently known as The Great Khali in the WWE has been billed anywhere from 7'2" - 7'4" in the WWF and significantly taller than that in Japan but has found a home at 7'3" as of late. His actual height likely to be about 7'1" (216cm) which has been documented before he arrived in the WWE, and also has been listed as low as 6'11.5" in his younger weight lifting days.

4. Paulo César da Silva, also known as Giant Silva in Japan and and Paulo Silva in the WWF, is generally billed 7'3" - 7'5" and comes in around 7' even (213 - 214cm). Generally wears thicker boots to increase his height for effect.

5. Paul Wight's, also known as the Big Show, height is suspect in the sense many feel he is clearly not as tall as he once was, and also wears slightly thicker boots than most current wrestlers. He was more than likely around 7' (214cm) in WCW as the Giant in his 20s, and now around 6'11.5" (212 cm) in the WWE. He has been billed 7', 7'2" and 7'4" (WCW)

6. Andre the Giant was generally billed 7'4" and eventually 7'5" starting at Wrestlemania 3, then back down again towards the very end of his career. He has one of the most widely disputed heights, being listed as low as 6'9.75" but it is generally agreed he was at least 6'11.5" (213cm) in his youth, but this may be due to some level of manifested respect. Andre was likely no taller than 6'10.5" by WM3.

7. Kipp Christianson, (former NXT competitor Eli Cottonwood) is currently listed as 7' and 7'1", but with not many real comparisons to work with yet, at best he can be described as a vague 6'10". Could he be taller than Andre?

8. Kevin Nash, also known as Diesel and various other aliases has generally been billed as 7', with the occasional random bumps and dips above and below. His website lists him at a generic 6'10" (208-209cm), so he could be slightly taller or shorter than that at his peak, but likely has lost some height over the years.

9. Robert Maillet, known to many as Kurrgan is approximately the same height as Kevin Nash (208cm), and was also billed 7' tall in the WWF. Easily in the upper 6'9" range.

10. Nathan Jones is self professed as 6'10" (209cm) and has been billed as much as 7'1." He is likely to be in the upper 6'9" range (208 cm).

11. Giant Baba of Japanese Wrestling fame was commonly listed as 6'10.5" but oddly as low as 6'6.5". He was more than likely about 6'9" (206cm).

12. Matt Morgan, known as Beast on the New American Gladiators has been billed around 7' for most of his wrestling career, coming in around a high 6'8" - 6'9" (205 - 206cm) legit.

13. Coming in at lucky 13, The Undertaker has had a consistent verbal and written height bill of 6'10.5" for the last 20 years in the WWE/F, and billed 6'9" in WCW as Mean Mark. He has stated himself as being "Six foot eight, six-nine", so roughly 6'8.5" (204cm) is probable.

14. Stan Frazier is sometimes a forgotten name in the wrestling business. Uncle Elmer (and countless other names) who was billed anywhere from 6'10" to 7'2" (based on unavoidable comparison with Andre), could very well have been over 6'9" early in his career. Due to his lack of marketability, his height was never emphasized like Andre's. His actual height is possibly a high 6'8" but likely 6'8" even.

15. Kane is generally billed as 7 feet tall in the WWE, with the occasional similar comparisons to his TV brother the Undertaker being around 6'10" or 11". He is roughly around 6'7.5" to 6'8" (202 - 203cm) but due to thicker boots to give the impression he is larger than the Undertaker, he is billed taller.

16. The Big Cat Ernie Ladd, often billed 6'9" was probably 6'8" (203cm) and at least 6'7". It is worth noting he was listed as 6'9" in his football days.

17. Giant Haystacks, who eventually became Loch Ness in WCW, was billed as high as 6'11" during his roughly 30 year career, but closer to 6'7.5" or possibly 6'8" at his tallest (202cm).

18. Sid (Sycho, Justice, Vicious etc) has been billed wildly 6'8", 6'9", 6'10" and 6'11" in his career, depending on who the competition was beneath or above him but most often recognized at 6'9". He is more than likely just above 2 meters tall at 6'7" (201cm), but possibly as low as 6'6.5" due to suspect footwear.

19. Big John Studd was very possibly an even 6'7" or a little more (201cm) and was always criticized for enhancing his height with various subtle techniques like extra thick boots, standing on his toes, tall hair style, etc. He was generally billed 6'10". Video evidence from WM2 with Bill Fralic suggests Studd could have been as short as 6'6".

20. Big Daddy V/Viscera is often underestimated in height due the illusion of his size at 500 lbs. He is just around the 2 meter barrier at a very high 6'6" and possibly 6'7" (200cm). He has been billed 6'7 and 6'8" as a face and 6'9" mostly as a monster heel, with a random written billing of 6'6" for what are most likely arbitrary reasons.

21. George Gray, more commnonly known as The One Man Gang or Akeem the African Dream, is another very large wrestler whose stature oftentimes skewed his menacing height. He was generally billed 6'9", sometimes 6'10" or even 7 foot. Early in his career he very well could have been over 6'7", but the Akeem we know "dances" around that mark between 6'6.5" and 6'7" (199 - 200cm). Gray begins the "grey area" where this list is defining extremely tall wrestlers, as he could be into the 6'5" range today.

There are various other wrestlers (most of them in the indies or no notable TV fame) who may be 6'7" or over. To try and verify that they are, compare them to other wrestlers on this list if possible.

To put a line between the tallest of tall and just below, other 6'6" range wrestlers include: The Harris Twins, Big Guido, Prince Albert/A-Train, Dan Spivey, Black Jack Mulligan, Jerry Tuite (The Wall), Andrew Martin (Test), Brian Adams (Crush), Bryan Clark (Wrath/Adam Bomb), John Tenta (Earthquake/Golga), Wade Barrett, Vance Archer, and Hulk Hogan at his peak.

All of these men have been billed between 6'6" and 6'8", some varying depending on the promotion, or the importance of their character. Of course Akebono or Silo Sam could be on the detailed list as well but their overall wrestling related importance is not as high as the legends on this list, or the up and coming stars who may make names in the future purely through professional wrestling, and not acting, MMA, or other sports.

All wrestlers on this list could very well be slightly taller or shorter than these listings, but the order of height seniority and height difference between them is relatively accurate. Starting with Gonzalez there is no legitimate wrestler taller than him, and no one notable between him and the next tallest, so on and so forth. Again, there may be however, several wrestlers not mentioned who are in between.
