Big John Studd vs Andre The Giant

[lowgeemudbone]

damn saturday mornings in the 1980s were the shit.

[LTDANMAN44]

lol i had one of those bags they put the money in. i took to school with me!

[rautrohit]

why never yokuzuna vs andre the giant vs the giant gonzalez happened??? :(

[PhoenixDarkWWA4]

I hate when people call pro wrestling fake, it's not fake, it's just scripted. Wanna prove me wrong, I dare you to go to just one tryout at a wrestling company and do some back bumps and then tell me it's still fake, I dare you to take just one bodyslam inside of a wrestling ring and then tell me it's still fake, trust me, I doubt you'll call it fake after that first day.

[danspivey91]

@PhoenixDarkWWA4 when a wrestler hits another wrestler he is not doing it with the full force he makes out he is as he is FAKING the hit, when the other wrestler reacts to the hit it hasn't hurt as much as he makes out as he is FAKING the reaction. In 1987 andre and hogan had a massive rivalry but outside of the ring they were very good friends as they were FAKING the rivalry. There you go, proved you wrong on 3 counts.

[PhoenixDarkWWA4]

@danspivey91

Have you ever been inside a wrestling ring before buddy? Have you ever been to wrestling school? In wrestling school, we pull our punches but we still connect. So yes you are right about the fakes in punches to that extint BUT when I say it's scripted and not fake, I mean in reference to stuff like falling off ladders and going thru tables and stuff, there are many aspects to pro wrestling that could never be faked.

[PhoenixDarkWWA4]

@danspivey91

Do you think when Undertaker threw Mankind off the top of a steel cell that it was fake, that man lost teeth in that match. As I said before, Scripted not Fake! Sure they were friends outside the ring, most wrestlers are(except for the ones who wrestle in NC Currently). So while you are not completely wrong, you aren't entirely right either.

[danspivey91]

@PhoenixDarkWWA4 obviously there are certain aspects of wrestling that are impossible to fake, but thats not what non wrestling fans are talking about when they call it fake (it should be made clear at this point im a massive wrestling fan) when filming an action movie there are certain things the actors do where they inevitably get hurt many times, how would you react if i said action movies were scripted but not fake?

[PhoenixDarkWWA4]

@danspivey91

I'd respond with Stuntmen, which aren't used in pro wrestling. Simply put!

[danspivey91]

@PhoenixDarkWWA4 I dont understand the difference? its still an actor getting hurt while filming a scene, even if he's a stuntman, the fact its someone else playing the character for one shot makes zero difference

[ccie12933]

Best part of this match is the ring announcing!

[epiphanym17]

both so tall

[B2B76]

Love it when Gorrilla & Jesse worked together, like in the early Wrestlemanias, such good chemisrty they had, maybe better than Heenan & Monsoon.

[NurseDakotaLmfao]

Is it true that Andre fell asleep during this match? :S

[DylanKnudson]

rip andre the giant

[Vebinz]

Thanks for posting this gem!

Now, if I remember correctly, Studd was one of the "bad guys", right?

[FrankypankyV8]

@Vebinz ,

That's correct...

[Cincinnatus1869]

i dont think any of you miserable freaks have any idea how tall these men actually were . Were any of you ever there when they were measured ? No ? well then ..

[LORDGOAT1976]

Was this 81?

[99wwelover]

i just got my account and i dont know how to sucribe

[hellzyes100]

thats scripted

[sakurablossom6001749]

R.I.P all passed on wrestlers

[Zergosss]

these shows are for retards

[JETSTA916]

@Zergosss thats why ur watching them...retard

[Cincinnatus1869]

@Zergosss and here you are !

[6inchSword]

Is this the match where Andre fell asleep.I know Andre had a match with Studd in which he fell asleep!!

[MrDerAbenteurer]

Colles match

[notchu1011]

He was great :D



[koenigsegg1000]

Big John must be between 6' 10" - 7'. He doesn't look much shorter than Andre who's is supposedly 7' 4".

[TKnights15]

@koenigsegg1000 look it up, andre was actually about 6 ft 11, thats why 6 ft 8 big john looks almost as tall. Think of this as this days big show and kane

[kingvictoe]

press 9 over again!!!!!!!

[newmetalnow]

Man, too much energy is necessary to move 215 kilograms of mass.

[XKandoomagicX]

why do people watch thsi bullshit? i dont get it...

[AssasinOfBrotherhood]

@XKandoomagicX because its million times better than today's wwe

[oldschool6804]

@XKandoomagicX IT'S NOT BULLSHIT YOU'RE IGNORANT THEY REALLY HIT EACH OTHER YOU'RE WRONG!

[shawnv21]

Big john studd looks to be As tall as andre the giant

[MunsonRE]

Studd was so scared to death of andre that his worst fear was that someday he was going to do something or say something that was going to really piss of the gaint that he up and quit not to shortly after winning the royal rumble in 89

[lasfar23]

Woo que poder

[TrudieVessot427]

Dowwnload the audio from this song at thetunify doht cohm.

[GaGe701]

I love how small the ref looks between these two monsters

[charlitaker]

andré the giant the best forever

[creatureofthenight1]

andre looks thin by comparison to later years. Bobby Heenan, probably my favorite anything ever though :)

[xASxDragoon]

phew that was intense

[terminat1]

How much do you think Andre really weighed?

[goedmonton]

big johns long john is erect 

[TheFattDogg]

@goedmonton its always like that. hes not called big john studd cause he has a small penis!

[RonjoGeilePonjo]

just wanked off cant get enough of andree hmmmmmmmmm

[patsman191]

Andre didnt like John that much and Andre was one of the kindest people in the world.

[all028]

I heard Hogan on an interview and he mentioned Andre would drink before matches to help ease his pain. Apparently, he had some injury problems and they constantly nagged him especially his back. Hogan also mentioned he sometimes worried about Andre being intoxicated because he could hurt people bad....

[logik316]

@all028

Actually, Hogan himself often went on beer runs for Andre when they were traveling together. He knew from experience that wrestling with a sober and cranky Giant was a very bad idea.

[chaosad09]

if they realy did most of these moves on eachother they would all be dead very quick. besides it takes more skill not to hurt eachother then it would to realy hurt oneanother.

[TheHolyKnight57]

hell, staged or not id love to see any a u ppl got up against a 7'5'' 476lb giant

[Chicago1920]

good old time

[CemCena123456789]

what year was this ?

[JRocker69]

@CemCena123456789 1985.. teh very first WrestleMania is the event

[alexisPGM]

he was french ...; and i'm french ^^

[MrTolis96]

Andre is HUGEEE.............

[esco1972]

I remember watching this match. MSG used to have 3 hour wrestling extravaganzas once a month. This was when I still thought wrestling was real.

[mrbigck1]

i MISS HIM VERY MUCH

[MFMoshDEK]

It was way more fun to be a mark than a smart fan...I miss these days of WWF. I actually got smart pretty early-saw Samartino open himself up with a blade when I was in 1st, maybe 2nd grade. It was no less fun...I pretended I didn't see shit, and watched WWF for another year or so before moving to Ft Polk, La. and discovering UWF...Let me say UWF was such a good show that I couldn't care less if it was written or not. UWF/Midsouth was gnarly shit!!

[DLDO3]

SO FUCKING OLD !

[goedmonton]

big john studd has got small john nipples with his giant long john poking through his pants

[TheAz159143]

no before he went to wrestling he was 7 feet 1/2 inches but if you get giantism in older age you body grow larger but not longer if you are grown up and you get the possiobilety to shrink and he did so at wrestlemania3 he was about 6´10

[scotters201]

shame they both died so young..andre at 44 studd at 47 :(

[fixer16]

Big John Studd 6'6 and Andre the Giant 6'11 in their Prime.

[RangerRob2009]

@fixer16 You are the first one to have that correct. Stud was only 6'6" and Andre was 6'11" (In his prime). a couple of years before Andre's death, he was measured at 6'9 1/2". Have a great day!

[xismxist]

3:05 to 3:10 he is only 6-7 inches taller than 5'10 tops heenan

[xismxist]

@xismxist must take that back... its more like 5 inches, was heenan 5'11+?

[massivebeatzz]

wow, 6.8 FT John looking small versus Andrew...towering in both height and width !

[xismxist]

@massivebeatzz studd was 6'5

[massivebeatzz]

not true. i'm 6"4 and i saw studd - he's much taller than me.

[xismxist]

@massivebeatzz bullshit! he was same height as 6'4 1/2 fralic

[massivebeatzz]

bullshit yourself. i bet you cant convert feet to cms properly and exactly. 23 - as a megalomiac you add another inch til your mid 20ies easily. anyone else commenting on studds height. i gave him a 6'6. i saw the guy - and i know im 6'4".

[xismxist]

@massivebeatzz I can, right on! can you? according to you he grown to his death... so he would been at his tallest before his death!!!! but wait!! now all the suddenly idiots said he shrunk?!

[massivebeatzz]

i can - you just made a mistake..and why do you want to shrink anybody..are you some small little guy that nature left out that you are angry at big guys or something. everyone here agrees andre in around 6.11 - resulting from same height as wilt, who was 7.1 and looked skinny and skimpish against him... anyways - dont get so angry and unhappy about the big world out there.

[xismxist]

@massivebeatzz why to u want to overbill every one?! bring up some evidence then who proves that andre was 6'11+ (i can prove he was billed to 6'10 in france)

[massivebeatzz]

well and he was billed at 7"4, billed means nothing, especially in wrestling..i just checked the french sites, 2m26 , 2m18 - so your "billed" means as much as that. some site measures 2m16 - i read and write french well enough to scan through these sites. so tell me , how much is 6:10 thats 6 X12 +10 inches =82 inches *2.54 cm = that would be 2m 08.. here's your math buddy!

[xismxist]

@massivebeatzz it was BEFORE his wwf career your dumbass! at age of 23, he was listed 6'10 so he wasnt taller than that! go to a doctor! you are brainwashed by billed stats

[massivebeatzz]

u fucking MINI DICK MAN..i've had it with your insults...all u do here is trash talk. too stupid to do conversions, too stupid to read french site, calling Andre 6,9 - studd 6.4 and getting upset when someone corrects u , u fucking little weasel rat! STFU and dont ever talk to me like taht again, mr small man.

[xismxist]

@massivebeatzz I getting upset?! you are going nuts your dickface! and no, iam taller than you ;) (sorry) iam not calling studd 6'4, dont need to!! check out him next to 6'4 fralic and see it for yourself, fuckface

[xismxist]

@massivebeatzz AND NO, studd is lucky if he ever saw a 6'5. check out his staredown with 6'4 1/2 bill fralic!!! still in his huge lifts studd was barely taller...

[otoxkage]

Andre was 7' even at the time of the first wrestlemania. By the time of his death, he had grown to 7'4'' and verifiably weighed 560 lbs.

[fixer16]

No 7'4 was his billed height. Andre shrinked in his late years. He was nearly 7 Feet when he was young and 6'10 in Wrestlemania 3 after several surgeries. He also needed support corset in his later years.

[Slider68tg]

Now this is wrestling!

[TheLukiieBoii]

is andre the giant taller than the great khali ?

[DukeofColumbia]

no . . . Andre's legit height was 6 feet 11 inches IIRC.

[Mglosk]

@DukeofColumbia Incorrect, Andre was 7'3" at his hight and started to shrink when he got older and started to lose his posture and slumped.

Defiantly much taller than 6' 11", don't kid yourself.

[xismxist]

@Mglosk Andre was billed to 6'10 in france dumbass! he was tops 6'9 barefoot

[Mglosk]

@xismxist If you say so.

[massivebeatzz]

he kept groing. into his early 20ies, like every big man does.

[xismxist]

@massivebeatzz Andre was billed to 6'10 in france at age of 23

[xismxist]

@Mglosk Andre was not 7'3 he was 6'9

[massivebeatzz]

no, because he stands head to head, slouching with wilt chamberlain - so both are 7 feet. at 500 punds he's just not standing straight always. i've seen andre and my buddy who is 6'8" - Andre's a head taller than him.

[xismxist]

@massivebeatzz and pigs can fly

[barbapartida]

Brilliant match although I was cheering Bog John all the way... he's such a legend!

[kvarsity10]

studd was just awesome in his own right. the guy was put together better than any wrestler at nearly 400 pounds.  awesome stuff

[WillHear432]

Studd: The TRUE giant of wrestling!

[xismxist]

@kvarsity10 400? he was barely 300

[RyanInLA]

lol @ $15,000

[mariodarren123]

Andre the Giant did have Skill.

He had problems. We all see that later in his career he was hunching over, feeling the strain of gigantism. But he still kept it up to be as loyal to his fans as they were to him.

I have respect to the Giant and I hope that he rests in piece.

R.I.P The 8th Wonder of the World.

[raff23]

absolutely agree with this, watch his earlier matches in the 70s when he was much more mobile, was a good technician in the ring. Unfortunately the strain of his giant frame caught up with him but anybody whos says he didnt have skill doesnt know wrestling.

[mariodarren123]

I correct my earlier comment.

Rests in Peace.** <<--Rather than Piece.

[Drandon]

@mariodarren123

You're right. Also, early in his career Andre was freakishly agile for such a huge guy.

[Yotashi]

@mariodarren123 Yo wrestling is all staged man, real fighting is boxing ufc and pride all that wcw wwf wwe shit is fake man, dnt mean to burst your bubble but andre the giant and all the other wrestlers staged it, not saying they cnt fight cuz look at brock lesnar hes a beast lmao

[DrStrangefate]

@Yotashi

You're just now telling us!!!?!??? OH NO!!! NOW ALL OUR CHILDHOODS ARE WRECKED!!!!

Yo dumbass...we know it's staged. We know its scripted.

But you can't fake being hit over the heat with a chair (which is now banned mind you) or fake a 16 foot drop off a steel cage.

Ask Lesnar what he did to people who told him wrestling is "fake". He took them to his personal ring and gave them a few body slams. They didn't call it fake anymore.

[mariodarren123]

@Yotashi Lol. Dude I'm aware of the falseness of Wrestling, however it is good entertainment and I was simply defending a man who was undergoing physical strain because of his side. Peace.

[oldschool6804]

no the wretling isn't ll staged when andre choppped you he chopped you!

[imsljr420]

man these 2 guys were way overrated, no wrestling skills at all.

[goregantua]

They didn't need skills!

[CsabeexD]

RIP André

[cantfindaloginname1]

The NWO went downhill when they recruited Andre

[kingpinofcrime]

lol :P

[thndrct218]

Andre was dead long before the NWO was formed

[Coverdale32]

andre the giant, 7 feet 4" 525 pounds awesome power, wwf/wwe legend.

wrestling in it's best 80's era.

[Silks]

subtract about 6 inches

[PATIZAROB]

R.I.P both

[all028]

RIP Studd

[kumar9874123]

Andre the Giant is 7 foot 4!

[xrunescapemoneybagsx]

"I am not going to debate this with you anymore, watch UFC or something. "

[arsonx1]

Big John Studs daughter is my aunt.

[dajohnnyboy252]

cool. is he your grandad or something?

[xrunescapemoneybagsx]

wow this is the fakest lamest shit I have ever seen, if this entertains you, you are a retard.

If you believe this is real then you should be shot.

[BerzerkerEK]

Congrats you must be 15 years old. Everyone knows this is "fake" but we all still love to watch it. Perhaps when your testicles drop you might understand.

[xrunescapemoneybagsx]

I am 18 years old

Not everyone knows this is fake, I have met 3 people who thought this shit was real, and I know for a fact there are more people out there

what does that last bit even mean? aren't humans born with testicles outside their body

omg you have balls inside of you :D lol

[dajohnnyboy252]

:L ide like to see you take a powerslam from andre. and then maybe a big splash. see if you think its "fake" it scripted. but it hurts alode.micky rourke a former pro boxer even said its incredibly hard to be a boxer. " should be shot" thats pretty sad.

[xrunescapemoneybagsx]

Andre is dead, so bring it on. And you are a fucking mongoloid if you thinking boxing and fake wrestling are even close, Boxing you get punched in the face for real, look at these 2 fat fucks dance around the arena, they are so sluggish they can't even do their fake moves properly.

[dajohnnyboy252]

have you ever done pro boxing?? yes its tough. micky rourke did. and he even said wrestling is a hard thing. and he found extremely hard to keep up. that coming from him. plus this was years ago. so the moves wernt very high tec. people today like jeff hardy jumping of those rafter things. however you do it that takes guts and its going to hurt. so its not a little play fight it may be scripted but what im syaing is it hurts.

[xrunescapemoneybagsx]

he said wrestling is a hard thing, real wrestling mother fucker, learn the difference. Ever notice how when you were beat up as a kid you bled like a mofo.. why don't WWE bitches bleed? They don't get hurt is why.

[dajohnnyboy252]

Btw he was onna bout WWE its where he trained for his movie didnt you see him at wrestlemania 25? thats why he was there supporting the athletes because he realised how tough it was. wwe superstars do bleed they cut theresleves its a hard bussines and they get hurt all the time wtf are you onna bout they dont get hurt. they break there necks ribs and everything. now go back to playing your little runescape :L:L

[oldschool6804]

@xrunescapemoneybagsx WHATS FAKE ABOUT THE CHOPS? I HAVE SEEN ANDRE LEAVE WELTS ON STUDD AND OTHERS CHEST! IT'S NOT FAKE!

[RVD2267]

LMAO so you find a little shitty game with crap graphics (i dont even consider it a game) entertaining?

[xrunescapemoneybagsx]

I don't find it entertaining, I find the thousands I made off the game rather entertaining though.

[RVD2267]

lol you find poorly animated money entertaining?

and wrestlers do get hurt theyre athletes you need to fucking watch some matches dipshit you cant judje wrestling if you dont watch it! i saw the other day a guy tore open his leg and continued the rope were replaced with barbed wire i understand its fake but alot does hurt i mean how can you fake barbed wire? how can you fake getting thrown of a 20ft steel cage?

[xrunescapemoneybagsx]

Real money you twat, I made thousands of real money(United States Dollar) selling fake money to nerds.

I am not going to debate this with you anymore, watch UFC or something.

[RVD2267]

im pretty sure selling fake money is illeagal and why not pussy? this is entertainment wrestling can garentee a good show ufc cant i'd like to see you be a wrestler besides dont you think anythings change scince this match? after all this match was in 1984

[deanpap]

I remember this match, I was about 14 years old, As John Studd was leaving the arena and entering the lockeroom, I poured a large coke over his head , I ran for my life and got away. good times

[dave12373]

This was such a great feud with studd,bundy,and patera against.I remember being so mad when they cut Andres hair.

[silverbeast75]

look at andre big friendly giant

[foreverhulkamania]

THAT'S THE GIANT JOHN STUDD!!!!

[HugeDickNick]

There will never be another andre the giant!! he was great!

[DeathShallRise]

[Undertaka92]

[jkoff76]

I loved Andre. So did everyone I think.

[oldschool6804]

@jkoff76 alot of wrestlers didn't like the man he was tempermental

[jonneale8494]

I Miss Andre

[hitla01]

[oldschool6804]

[Visfen]

[beers2257]
