| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00  | I was flipping channels last night and came across a Biography of Andre on TLC. Did anyone else happen to catch it. It was nice to see one of the legends of the sport get the respect they deserve. Only one thing about it, they spoke about how Andre put Hogan over at WM3 because he was on his way out while Hogan was shooting to the top. Its a shame that is a lesson Hogan never learned. If it is replayed, I recommend that you guys watch it.  AIM: SkiT4you First Member of the JWO Kindest regards to Grumpy for the sigpic | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Apr. 01 | hi, i have a question about Andre The Giant seeing as i'm not old enough to remember him...was he 6'10' or 7'4''?? Alex Shane and some guy from smashwrestling.com were having this quiz and the question was "who was bigger? Big Show or Andre The Giant?" and i thought it was Andre but they said it was Big Show. my website "WELL, IT'S ONE LOUDER, ISN'T IT?

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | I always thought andre was bigger...at least when I saw him in matches against hogan, and tehn later saw hogan vs big slow matches...hogan looked to be smaller in comparison to andre than big slow. not definate about that though.

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | quote: Actually, he was both. When he was younger and in his best shape, he was said to have topped out at 7'4. But as he got older, his spine contracted due to his disease (Acromegaly) leaving him at about 6'10 by the time WM 3 came around. If you watch the tape, you'll notice that he's not much taller than Hogan at that point, even though he's still MUCH more massive. A couple of interesting Andre facts: Although over 7 feet tall, his body had the proportions of a man standing 5'2". He was NOT undefeated going into WrestleMania 3, having been defeated by Stan Hansen, Antonio Inoki, and Giant Baba, among others. The only singles title he ever held in his entire career was the WWF World Heavyweight title, which he held for about 2 minutes. Andre's grandfather was allegedly BIGGER than he was, topping out at 7'8".  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00 | the best part is when they said how much he drank. something like 80 beers and shit. the saddest moment is when he came down at the end of his carrer/life w/ the bushwackers "i hate people that dont get it!" | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | Like i said andre was one of the main reasons i began watching wrestling the man did more for the WWF than anyone, including Hogan.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00 | Andre was amazing...he was the first truly legitimate BIG man to receive notariety. I think according to that bio, he did top out at 7'4" and his weight maxed out at about 580lbs..which is just massive. In comparison, the Big Slow is consistently listed at 7'2" and around 500lbs even. Could you imagine the battle between those two then, if both are in their prime?? Would make Andre vs. Studd or Andre vs. Hogan look like Kane vs. Hurricane last night. Funniest Andre story I remember is when he flipped a car over outside of a pub in France. I believe the driver was a reporter who pissed him off. What the F was that guy thinking??? E-Mail Me  09.11.01 - To those who we'll never see again - you'll be in our hearts forever | ||||
