[toys2cool]

Andre was indeed immensely strong.

Some of the stories shared by his co-stars on "The Princess Bride" make really good reading.

love that movie

They had better create one huge horse if the John Wayne side wants to ride one

I'd like to see some scientist dig up Andre and John Wayne and make a clone hybrid using BOTH their DND

My apologies for any misunderstanding on my part as well. All's good and no matter what if we always agreed on everything this would be such a boring place. Back to the fun!

I never said the physical action wasn't real, reading is fundamental. I said it's scripted and that's true. The outcomes are decided before the match even begins. Don't turn this into something political because one thing has nothing to do with the other.

I think you misunderstood my reply, first off I was making a joke, I completely agree with all you said, wrestling is definitely scripted and the match is rehearsed earlier that day, the scripted mud slinging leading up to the match just reminds me of the political mud slinging between opposing delegates, that's all I was saying, didn't mean to upset anyone, so I'm for forgetting all this and getting back to what the original post was intended for.

Yeah and wrestling isn't scripted is it

What do you mean it's scripted? oh and I suppose Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny aren't real either, geez.

Political debates are scripted.

there is a book called hellraisers that has a bit about him ,it's mostly about movie people a good read.

Andre was indeed immensely strong.
In later life, he was also in constant pain because of his condition.
The rumours of his drinking prowess are not exaggerated. He could down 2 litres of vodka before he even started to feel "warm".

Check out this amazing footage, starting with Andre at age 19...

My sister, who is a French speaker, translated for me...in this interview, Andre says he is 2m 10cm tall, which equates to 6' 11".

But of course with Gigantism, he grew taller...then when he got older, and near the end of his life, he shortened in height.

Here's another interesting take on his various reported heights through the years...

Andre was a fascinating person, no doubt...

Sorry but the Ultimate Warrior beat both Andre (which I witnessed) and Hogan at Wrestlemania, plus back in the late 80's
I met the wrestler called the Warlord, and that was one huge chiseled specimen. IMO the Ultimate Warrior could beat
both Andre and Hogan in a real street fight.

I'm with ya
