Big John Studd hated working with Andre The Giant, because Andre The Giant would always work very stiff whenever he wrestled Studd. These tales you hear about Andre The Giant being a gentle giant. Ha! He wasn't so gentle when he wrestled Big John Studd. All that gentle giant crap went right out the window.
This was wrestling to me as a kid...larger than life characters battling it out. I know that NWA fans will cringe when I say this and I was also an NWA viewer, but I liked this better.
@Derby14 I loved NWA too but I agree. Hate to admit the showmanship and larger than life characters mean so much but it's true. Most of the characters today just seem like lame colorless thugs with no personality and not much in the way of gimmicks. I miss that cartoon era when wrestling was the Saturday morning cartoon that it really is and was FUN.
When I comes to wrestling I take it serious I bet u any amount of money u can't lasses up them boots an go put there every night get slam by man in different weight class every night an than wrestle after injury or while your injured to plz the Fans respect those man on our t.v screen today they are the new generation that will entertain our children I understand what u man u by today is trash but u gotta have the balls to do it respect Vince an plz most def respect the wrestlers peace

Lets see your evidence fukglory? Here in Calgary, Stu Hart had spawned WWF. You can witness some Andre matches (including 8 man brawls) on YouTube - and see KILLER KOWALSKI.
You are a fool. Andre crushed everyone in untelevised matches. Stud was BEAT. They made Andre to look like an Oaf - in reality he could swat anyone like a fly
Andre sure sounded scared at the end during the commentary. His real life fear could not be hidden at the end. The word is that Andre was genuinely afraid of either Studd or Bundy in real life. Well, I guess there is good reason for it and Bundy and Studd could fight much better in reality.
Because they move better, are more athletic, and strong and powerful even though I don't deny Andre's strength. People have the right to their own opinion, so its all good.
You are one stupid motherfucker! Hogan has lied his ass off many times and he lives in his own fairy tale world of egomania. Hogan is a self promoter who knows that a big part of his legacy and popularity is matches with Andre(most notably W-Mania 3), so Hogan likes to portray Andre as highly and huge as possible like being invincible. Get a reality check fucko. Time to grow up. Andre was big but there is plenty who would kick his ass such as THE GIANT JOHN STUDD!!!!!!!!!!
You are a fool. Andre crushed everyone in untelevised matches. Stud was BEAT. They made Andre to look like an Oaf - in reality he could swat anyone like a fly
Besides the four wrestlers in the ring you've got Jesse at the announcer table and Albano & Heenan as the managers. Nothing but legends in this match up. You really got your money's worth back then at a WWF event !!
I got entertainment out of it. Haven't you ever seen a movie that was, in real life, ridiculous? But yet you still enjoyed it? What's the difference??? I, and millions of others like it. I never liked Star Wars and thought it was lame even though millions of people loved it. They "got" those movies and I didn't and that's fine. I "get" wrestling and you don't, so what does it matter? MMA is is a sport and this is show business. So lay off.
And i agree that star wars sucks too, i'm here to give my own opinion on this vid, and you give yours on mine, hey man you lay off, comment the vid, not me, if you ike it, just WRITE IT, thats all...
and by the way, MMA is a show business too, it's just better...
This was wrestling..not the BS rocky maivia and stoned cold bs..those two killed wrestling not vince..vince is just a squirrel trying to get a nut like the rest of us
i remember andre the giant when i was a kid andrew won big john studds huge watch wow holk hogan is as big as andre andre used to come maui and wrestle i shook his thumb which is as big as a normal hand
I really enjoy watching Andre the Giant's wrestling matches, even though wrestling turned out to be just for enterainment back in the 1980's. I didn't really know who Andre was during the time he was alive, but I became interested in watching his videos not long ago. I would like to see him go against some of the wrestlers today, but then again, if he were still alive, he wouldn't be able to wrestle, given his health and physical condition even back in the early 90's.
This was one of the very first if not the first saturday nights main event. Thanks for putting it up. Brought back alot of memories. Wrestling hasn't been the same.
hehe I remember the first scene in Highlander, he's attenting a wrestling match at msg that features Big John Stud and two other wrestlers vs Jimmy Snuka and the Head Shrinkers I believe
I think you're right. I remember Michael Hayes strutting and the rest of the Freebirds wrestling Jim Brunzell and maybe the Tonga Kid. Can't remember who the other one was.
compare andre to the big show. adre wasnt agile like the big show is i think it would be a nice match but id give it to the show cause hes quicker and is more agile then adre was
plz anyone has the match wer paul orndorff turns against hulk hogan??...i remember it was Big John Studd and King Kong Bundy vs Hulk Hogan and Paul Orndorff,wer Orndorff turns againt the Hulkster.
At 1:30, notice that Vince McMahon calls Andre The Giant....."The Big Boss Man."
After they watched this tape later, Vince probably thought that sounded like a GREAT name for a future character. --And a couple years later, the WWF had THE BIG BOSS MAN.
I like how he called Andre 'The Big Boss Man' !!
