    At the end of his career he could hardly stand and was held up by the ropes and opponent.

    Shame how he died.

    Yeah he was very young, but shit when you have a pituitary gland issue like that and hell just being big in general is a life shortening thing but being THAT big....it's difficult to carry such weight. It's difficult to be comfortable.


    Think about this, Andre spent a lot of his time in Japan.....JAPAN!!!! Uncomfortable plane rides (if I was him I'd have booked a flight with the US Army on a cargo plane), tiny ass hotels, tiny ass cars, tiny ass everything...just taking a shit would have been difficult and I heard tell he used to book 2 rooms at the hotels...1 to stay in and the other to shit in the bathtub because dude wouldn't fit on the toilet. And it ain't like the guy could fit in a shower either.

    I really enjoyed the Andre doco. He was a huge superstar, and seeing Hogan in tears, speaking about what Andre had done for him, to propel him into super stardom was touching.

    I saw a piece a while ago that talked about Andre in Japan and how he straight up spoiled a show or something. I guess they wanted his to put over a local star and he refused to 'work' it and reclined in the ring like he was waiting on a hot bath and cold beer case of beer. The circuits guys travel is pretty crazy when you look behind the scenes. Lower tier wrestlers travel together much like some struggling bands around the Country. You really do have to have an invested and honed stage presence. It always seem like the smaller guys really now how to work a mic as they don't have the physical imposing package to speak for them. Recently, well a decade maybe , Edge and Christian were two of the best I've ever seen like that.

    That was moving, I heard about this on the mainstream news. Hope he wins this battle.

    Poor Roman gets it from every direction. Not an hour after that announcement the conspiracies were flying about it being a wwe ploy to finally put him over. They've done some foul things, 'faked' hostage situations and Vinces death but don't play games with cancer.
