Hogan v's Andre

Remembering the Giant

I saw this on Yahoo. I remember it well. Andre was one HUGE fella.

Posting for anyone who does not remember this giant of a man. One to share with the kids / grandkids!

I don't follow wrestling any more but this fake a@@ stuff was so entertaining. I believe he really could have taken Hogan with one hand.

To put it in perspective jus the size of this guy, he towered over Hogan the way Hogan towered over Stallone in Rocky.

I think in a REAL Hogan vs Andre fight it would be a pretty close match.

Andre really couldn't move much and Hogan couldn't wrestle to save his life

In a real street fight I think Hogan would easily win ... Love Andre to death but the guy's body was really delicate

[TrekStar]

I think Hogan in his condition could best Andre, younger quicker, would wear him out.

[fallensaviour]

No way Andre even in that condition would have destroyed hogan,if he chose to.
He was passing the torch to Hogan.
Watch the interviews with hogan years later he even says that.
Hogan was an entertainer Andre was the real deal.

You're also forgetting Andre once flipped over a car. Don't think Hogan's ever done that.

[Hector]

I'd take Hogan in a real fight too...as Andre suffered from Gigantism, a debilitating and progressive disease cause by a tumor on the pituitary gland...while physically strong due to their tremdous size...people suffering from Gigantism are also rather fragile as well...suffering circulatory and skeletal issues such as little stamina, weakened joints, uneven bone to tendon ratio, etc.

[Hector]

Not saying Andre couldn't take out Hogan in a real fight, sure, but it had to be a short fight...the longer the fight, the odds would tip in Hogan's favor...Andre had little stamina, blame his Gigantism for that.

If you want some real entertainment, play both those links I posted simultaneously on the same screen. Amazing!

Can you say "rock of Gibraltar" ?

[Hector]

Stallone goes around saying he's 5' 10.5", but in reality, he's between 5' 7" and 5' 8"...

Stallone in the middle, former boxing heavyweight former champions the Klitschko brothers on the far left and far right...



Stallone had no business playing a heavyweight boxer, lol.

Hulk Hogan's height has also been exaggerated, here he is standing next to LeBron (who is 6' 8")...



Now what really boggles the mind...in Rocky III, Hogan is a GIANT next to Stallone...yet here they are next to each other, holy crap...how you explain this photo???



Either Hulk Hogan shrank to fantastical proportions...or that Rocky sequence has the best illusions and movie magic ever made...

[Hector]

Wilt Chamberlin, Arnold, and Andre the Giant...



Wilt was a big man himself...the thing though, it makes Andre not look as monstrous.

It just all depends who is next to whom...

[Fitski]

Pfffff Hogan beating Andre! Hogan was no tough guy in his time he'd be crushed by a legitimate 500 pound giant. If your outweighed by 200 pounds in a fight your gonna getting your *** kicked. Google Andre checking oil for a laugh

[Hector]

Both would've gotten spanked in a MMA fight, lol.

Brock Lessnar beats both Andre and Hogan in their primes in his sleep, easy...

[Fitski]

This is Andre the Giant we are talking about Bro! Steroided up Brock still can't beat a giant! He can hardly beat his tummy troubles. I think your confusing Andre with the Big Show.

[Mikey]

I seen Andre in his prime wrestle live in Allentown when WWE was still WWWF.

Bob Backlund was the WWWF champion and was there too.

Good times i'll never forget
