I've wanted to see that. I used to work with a gal who was a bartender at a hotel the wrestlers would stay at and she said she always felt bad for Andre because for whatever reason guys would try to pick fights with him, they'd never leave him alone.


Andre was larger than life, one of the guys who epitomized a character archetype....The Giant much like Big John Studd, Giant Gonzales, Giant Baba, Big Show, Earthquake/John Tenta, Giant Haystacks, Big Daddy, King Kong Bundy...you know just the fucking huge dudes but unlike most Andre could work pretty good. Big Show does well, Undertaker (who could be in that category if he weren't you know the Undertaker).


Funny how he got on (or didn't) with Macho



Andre also hated Iron Sheikh for whatever reason....but Sheikhy is one of those dudes who may have been a bully he was definitely a big party guy as well doing drugs and what not. Imagine how much Andre would have to snort or smoke to get high and then a high giant...wowzers that would be trouble. Good thing he just drank apparently (and boy did he drink)
