Hulk, it did happen. Wepner got in a couple of shots before Andre picked him up and threw him out of the ring where he was counted out. If I remember right the fight was staged in an outdoor stadium (Shea in NY?). I do recall the ring was set up in a ballpark because Wepner landed somewhere near the pitcher's mound. I haven't done any research, but there has to be some mention on it on a website called "Obsessed with Wrestling." I'm going to check right now.
