Andre the Giant

I was reading Hulk Hogan's book the other day at the bookstore. I never pay for a book, just hang out at the bookstores and read when I get a chance. Anyway, he said the The Giant was the one guy that nobody could beat if the shit got serious. He said when other guys pinned you in a fixed match, that you felt that you could kick out of the pin or get loose if you wanted to, but when The Giant pinned you, you weren't going anywhere. He said that Andre use to sit behind him on the bus and bounce beer cans off the back of his head. In one match that was supposed to be fixed, Andre got pissed and thru him all over the ring and damn near killed him. He said that poor Andre couldn't fit into any of the bathroom stalls in Japan or the bathtub and that one time Andre came to Hulk laughing hysterically and took him to his hotel room and showed him where he layed out a newspaper on the bed and took a dump in it. Hulk said it looked like a horse had taken a shit. He earned Andre's respect by not being run off by him and they became friends. He said Andre could sit down and eat for 8 straight hours. It was a fun and enlightning read into the world of pro(fake) wrestling.
 
I'd imagine someone who was 7'4", 500+ could eat some chow, lol. He once drank like 110 beers, thats pretty crazy.

Although Andre is more respected and loved than Paul Wight, I'd imagine Paul Wight/The Big Show would be more dangerous if provoked. He is many times more agile than Andre ever was.
 
THATS SOME FUNNY SHIT BITEME.


I SAW HIS BIOGRAPHY ASLO. I FORGET THE EXACT AMOUNTS BUT HE COULD DRINK AN INSANE AMOUNT OF VODKA IN ONE SITTING. SAME GOES WITH BEER. I THINK THE TOTAL WAS OVER A HUNDRED BEERS BUT I CANT REMEMBER. I COULD BE WRONG.

Yeah, andre was scary big. The big show is a monster too. In reality, if that guy went on a rampage, no one could stop him. It would be like a bear mauling you.
 
THE BIG SHOW HAS THE SAME DISEASE THAT KILLED ANDRE THE GIANT. ITS COMMON IN PEOPLE THAT SIZE. SOMETHING WITH THE ORGANS I BELIEVE.

Paul Wight & Andre the Giant have the same disease. Typically people with that disease die of heart failure. You get so tall and big that the heart cannot pump all of the blood you need and you end up dying of heart failure or a heart attack. They dont expect Paul Wight to live too far past 40.

I have seen Paul Wight/The Big Show in person, it is almost unbelievable how big he is. I'm guessing he could throw up 500+ on the bench for reps and probably make a serious run at the world record if he worked at it (which he probably wouldnt do, he has a rep for being a lazy fuck behind the scenes).
 
I met Andre the Giant at a wrestling match when I was a kid. God, this was like 1975 or something. All I remember is how fucking huge this man was. When he shook my hand, I just remember how odd it was his hands were beyond big.
He knelt down to have a picture taken with me. He was over the top nice to all the kids.
Wow, I havent' thought of that in a long time. Ha! Fritz von Erich was there too. But Andre stole the show........
 
Andre used to be really agile when he was in his early 20's/ before his health got so bad. This guy was a monster, he could slide an egg through the ring he used to wear on his index finger.

You've probably never seen early tapes of Andre in his late 20s, early 30s. He was MUCH more agile than Wight. And remember that Wight is only like 28 or 29 now and can barely move around the ring.
 
Andre the Giant was good in the Princess Bride. I saw him in person in the mid-80's at a wwf show whenever I was like 10 or 11, he was a big fucking dude.

Maybe I'm romanticizing the past but I think Andre the Giant will be remembered as a much more successful wrestler/entertainer than Paul Wight. The Big Show seems to be a big fat ass, not very mobile in the ring and he is a relatively young man.

Umm i thought we are pretty much all cro-magnon. Maybe you meant neandrathal(sp?). That was the previous species of humans which lost the evolutionary race.

I'm pretty sure humans are reffered to as homosapiens now.

I saw the same one. It was a gallon of vodka to get a buzz.....
Thats too much for a normal human..:mix:
 
Andre was the man. I remember when i was really young watching old school WWF... those were the days.... WWE is garbage now.... only people like Stone Cold make it interesting.
 
did hogan ever actually bodyslam the giant? i remember kids tellin me taht when i was little...if he actually did it had to have been a 1/2 ass bodyslam right? right?!
 
i saw the last 3/4 of the biography channel's special on him. How he drank 110+ beers in one sitting (an alcohol content equal to 1 & 1/4 gallons of whiskey).

That guy played Caption Insano in THE Water Boy. He is huge, but not as big as Andre. I think his actual height and weight is 7'1" and 420 lbs. Big enough to slam Shaq Daddy's ass. He needs it , the racist.

Wrestling ain't as good as it was in the 80's. Those hot chicks doesn't make it interesting.

You can see hot chicks in every channel 24/7.


Hulk Hogan
Andre The Giant
Randy "Macho Man" Savage
King Kong Bundy
Big John Studd
Don "The Rock" Muraco

etc. were something.....

Hmm..it was more like Hogan helping Andre do a cartwheel than a real bodyslam. But it still took a LOT of effort to even just do that.

I was flipping through Hogan's book and I think I remember him saying that he tore one of his lats when he did that body slam.

Off the subject, but being the great athlete that I am, (J/K sort of ) I did a one hand pullup without using the other hand( That is not a one hand pullup) with my arm totally stretched( Not a partial pullup). That was several years ago and I still have pain in my upper lat muscle from that feat.

That is fucking impressive, my good man. Bummer on the muscle strain though. Funny how those muscle tweaks can hang around and come and go for years sometimes.
 
andre was a fatass... its weird how they have him wear all these open tight clothes even tho he has this messed up shape, just because he is 7"4

With hands big enough to crush your tiny skull.
 
I remeber seeing a piece on Andre's biography, about an episode he had in a bar. Supposedly, 3 or 4 guys pissed Andre of some how. They angered him so much, that he actually chased them. The guys all jumped into there car to try and get away. Seeing this, Andre proceeded to grab the bumper of the car and flip the entire vehicle over on to it's roof. Andre tehn fled teh scene leaving his assailants with only a story of how they antagonised an angry giant, and how he flipped there car!
 
yeah - a powerslam in which Yoko provided all the speed and momentum
 
Hulk Hogan not only bodyslammed Andre the Giant and Yokozuna, but many years later in the WCW, he bodyslammed The Giant/Paul Wight/The Big Show as well.

The Hulkster is still impressive after all these years. 6'8", 275-295ish.

Do you think they may have helped him out a little there?
 
i think hulk is relatively close to that height. lots of my relatives have met him, and they said he was very very huge
 
He's been on Best Damn Sports Show and he was a tad taller than cast. Not sure of their heights but I imagine Hogan isn't much taller than 6'3 - 6'4.
