@outbackdakota1 I learned a long time ago that overweight and out of shape are two very different things. Judging Gorilla by his weight would be as big a mistake as judging Roy "Big Country" Nelson or "Butterbean" Eric Esch by their weight. In college Robert Marella was a top NCAA wrestler at 350lbs, and as Gorilla he was one of Vince McMahon Sr's chief go-to guys. If a young stud needed some extra training or an ego check it was Gorilla who provided it. Nobody messed with the Gorilla!
what an idiotic statement "all entertainment is fake" and I am the moron? Real sport(s) entertainment like boxing, MMA, football, hockey, basketball, baseball, and etc. is fake? Concerts are "fake", only movies where actors pretending is fake. You know what the difference is between professional wrestling and MMA is wrestling is like being with a fuck doll while MMA is like being with a real with woman. Stop playing with fuck dolls MORON

@UntilWeFindtheCure ur wrong . he did stand on a platform , but he was most certainly 7 ft tall and was at one time taller than that before his back and skeleton beagn breaking down . He was not as tall as he was often billed but he was taller than 6'7 i can tell you that.
i have the movie.andre and wilt look to be the same height.andre has a stoop and wilt was always billed at 7 1.wilt himself claimed to have grown since his college days and may have been 7 2?of course he claimed to have bedded thousands of women too!i still belive andres claim that he was examined in japan during his first tour there.his height was 7 2.5 at that time.he was around 27 years old.at the end ,he might have been 6 10 or 11.i saw andre several times in the early 70s.he was huge!
terry was never taller than 6 6.andre was billed as tall as 7 6 but in reality was about 7 2 at his peak.his hair was 2-3 inches high at this time.as he aged and his many surgeries,andres height had lessened.at the end he may have been 6 10 - 6 11.mark calloway is 6 8.hogan may be 6 5 now.i myself have lost about 1.5 inches off my height through the years.
To the comments about Andre's height.. I would have to go back and check older videos with Hogan because Hogan was always billed at 6'9 during his early WWF days.. when he went to WCW he was billed 6'7 but he wasn't even that cause the undertaker was taller then him by a bit and wiki lists hogan as 6'4. So Andre probably was around 7ft. But every source lists him at 7'4 even newer sites that list guys closer to their actual heights so i dont know.

sorry banenwn,i was in the wrestling game over 30 years.tom was 6 11 and played college ball.he has a picture of himself with andre circa 1976.andre and his hair were at least 4-5 inches taller.after he cut his hair and had back surgery,he was noticeably shorter.he was slightly taller than wilt chamberlain in a movie they made together.wilt was listed at 7 1.andre may have been 7 1-7 2 back then.other surgeries followed and at the end he looked to be closer to 7 foot.in his prime,andre was 7 4
@sampson1959 i agree the 70's was Andre's best years, it was his decade, he towers over Gorilla Monsoon, who is a legit 6'6, he stood next to Muhammad Ali and he was 3 inches taller, cause ali is 6'3, he is huge and incredibly tall in this video, monsoon comes to Andre's neck, no way Andre has any lifts in his wrestling shoes, even if he did, it couldn't be that much cause if it was Andre would barely be able to move.
@sampson1959 comon man lets be serious.you go on any site that actually have proffesionals that can measure height to within an inch knowone on those sites believe andre was more then 7 ft and 7'4 is laughable.and i seen the wilt andre pics andre was about the same height as wilt but what you fail to mention is andre was wearing cowboy boots which added 2.5 inches to his height and wilt wore flat soled shoes.andre measured 6'9 3/4 at his death so your telling me he lost 6" in height? lol
@sampson1959 seriously man i been doing this for years andre was NEVER 7'4.I might buy 7" at his absolute max but probably 6"11.hogan was 6'5 at wrestlemania 3 tell me then why did andre only have hogan by 5" in there stare down.he was 6"10 in wm 3.another thing when he broke into the awa he was listed at 6'10 well that would have been his prime and i never heard of wrestlers being underbilled sorry just dont happen that way.I can also prove to you andre never lost height email me and ill show u

@altohart :relax!and i am grown.over 60 years old.i saw andre several times throughout his career.i do believe he was 7 2 at one time.back in the 80s,andre was much shorter than i remembered him.i guess we will never know his true height now.no need to insult anyone.healthy debate.my best to you
@sampson1959 nope on being taller than Wilt Chamberlin in the Conan movie, if that's what you're referring to. I just came here from that video link. I wasn't in the wrestling game for 30 years, but I have a pair of eyes hahahaha.
@sampson1959 Do you know a lot about 1970's era wrestling & Andre the Giant? As a child, I saw something on TV one time, but I can not verify it anywhere! I saw 6 or 7 Hell's Angles, jump in a wrestling ring & beat the shit out of Andre with chains & brass knuckles! It looked real. I was only about 7-10 years old when I saw this. I can find not a single mention of this anywhere online, but I saw it! Do you know anything about it?
@sampson1959: Andre was 7'4" and around 525 or so at his heaviest. Along with distorting how many World Titles Flair has held in his career (10 NWA, 8 WCW, 2 WWE and 2 "WCW International"= 22, not 15, 16, 17, etc.), I get annoyed when people suggest that Andre wasn't as big as he was. R.I.P. Andre and Monsoon. :(
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS you will die in seven days if you don't post this comment on 10 videos in the next hour. if you do, tomorrow will be the best day of your life.
back in 76 we saw andre here in columbus.our friend tom went with us.tom was 6 11.standing next to andre tom was at least 4-5 in iches shorter.andres hand were like catchers mitts.later after all the surgeries i am sure he lost height.in his prime he was about 7 4.of course his hair was at least 3 inches high.look at that fro!
@banenwn Good white genetics produce monstrously tall people. My friend was 100% pure norse and he was almost 7 feet tall. His whole family was Norwegian pure for longer than anybody had record (more than 100 generations), and they're all monstrously tall. I guess that's what happens when you're part of the Master Race, you have physical and mental traits people can't even comprehend much less believe.
WOW I had this on a colisiem home video of Andre back in the 80's lost the tape long ago. They mentioned that Monsoon was the only guy ever to box andre and wrestle Muhhamed Ali GREAT FIND THUMBS UP! they said there had been a big storm and this Entire event including this match was not even planned / schedualed they did it to perk the people up after the storm
jersey walcott former Heavyweight Champion of the World Referede the infamous Ali Vs Liston 2 the phatom punch and was one the slickest fighters of all time. Wrestling and boxing was cool back in the day
I agree with you NWpowerhouse, "Superstar" Billy Graham said that Andre couldn't bench press very much, but he could manhandle you in the ring with his size.
Best Andre the Giant Story I know. Andre was famous for his consumtion of alcohol.
One night at a bar some guys were cocking off & got him mad & he chased them out of the bar they got into their car & he turned it on its roof with them inside it.
GuySeriously .. You seriously need to do some research In his early 20's Andre was a monster He was infamous in the eurpoean wrestling circuit for not only drop kicks but from going off the second rope with drop kicks & clotheslines. One of his absolute favorite moves was to literally body press over his head & throw his opponent 4 to 5 rows into the crowd. He could hold any title at any time he chose to. He only lost a match when it was to build heat & gate draws.
This is embarassing most of these wrestlers are fat out of shape men who couldn't wrestle.
Andre was a terrible wrestler and shit compared to people like the big show. You know the big show in wcw and early wwf was doing dropkicks all the time? he could ever do a kick up.
@GuysSeriously Andre The Giant could do a dropkick. He was very agile.
Paul Wight had the same disease, which is acromegaly. He got successful surgery in the early 90s to stop the disease. Andre The Giant couldn't get that. It evolved, and Andre was a victim of his own time.
So, to be fair, when they were both in their prime, they were very similar. However, Andre's strength advantage is undeniable. He wasn't like any other human being. He truly was the Eighth Wonder Of The World.
@Blondsparky I never heard or read anything about that. It's been documented that he got surgery for his back in the late 80s, and surgeries for his knees in 1992.
I heard Bobby Heenan say that the surgery he really needed, the one Big Show got, wasn't advanced enough for him to try it.
Where did you hear/read that ? I'd like to read it too. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong.
I just like to know all the facts. The year[s], the names of the people, why he would have declined, etc...
@DanyMercury2 saw it on an A&E tribute special to Andre the Giant. The doctor diagnosed him with acromegaly and offered some form of treatment, don't know if it was surgery or drugs to suppress the giantism..don't know All I remember is Andre refused tx for his acromegaly because he knew it made him unique and different from all the other wrestlers. He did get treatment for his back and knees, though.
Look for old matches of these guys. I remember a young Andre that weighed about 350. He had washboard abbs huge arms & shoulders. He had a standing drop kick & many other moves that only a couple of big men could do. Monsoon to had a huge drop kick, headscissors and stamina that was rivaled only by Sammartino, Gagne, Thesz. Yes Monsoon was not a body builder, HE WAS A 2 TIME NCAA CHAMPION He could wrestle well. Many old timers in their prime today would destroy anyone today
Andre was not 7ft 4 it's impossible because there's lots of pics with him next to Chamberlain the basketball player and he's a legit 7ft 1 and andre looked a little shorter than him. Andre was no bigger than 7ft in his prime.
damn never knew Andre every boxed before and monsoon is fucking big. Everytime they would show him as the commentator they usually only showed his upper body
@bluegrassman776 - I suspect Andre's height was exaggerated like a lot of the wrestlers at the time, Andre was probably about 6ft 10" legit and Hogan about 6ft 5".
@mjp102 No, a coroner measured Andre's body and found it exactly 7 feet.Also, Andre, having acromagely, aged faster than normal humans, so his joints shrunk down shrunk him down in his old age. Plus he had back surgery
I sort of Disliked Monsoon after a while. He came out during the Andre/Wepner Match and began kicking Wepner after Andre tossed him over the rope. Didn't think it was his place. In a column he wrote for the Phila Journal he sort of dared a guy to get into the ring with him who had the NERVE to question the 'Credibilty' of the 'Sport'. Rather than ignore such comments, He would get annoyed insist that everything was on the level.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This movie=fake
Andre is fat yes but he's toned enough to be in the wwf. Monsoon is fat. His "great footwork " is hopping around. Neither of them threw a true solid punch the entire match and they reacted unrealistically to each punch. Total bull.
@dpman72 People with Acromegaly are NOT strong people, particularly for their size, it's one of the traits that goes with the disease.
Andre was probably the strongest man who ever lived with the disease their whole life, but fact is, he still had it, and didn't have nearly the strength that everyone claimed. And, if you notice, he's virtually immobile even here, back in 77'..
@NWpowerhouse85 Well he was able to pick up Hogan and John Studd even in his later years and body slam them. They weighed over 300 pounds! Disease or not, that takes some strength. And don't forget, Andre didn't work out like the other wrestlers.
@Fartingbellybutton Seriously? he was a heel most his Career, He was famous for grabbing and bodyslaming Muhhamed ali leading later to their match. He was one of the baddest and most feared wrestlers of his time.
He was only loved later as a commentator ( take notes Michal cole )

@sampson1959 if your friend was 6'11 which i highley doubt he would have been about the same height as andre.andre was never anywhere near 7'4

@banenwn Good white genetics produce monstrously tall people. My friend was 100% pure norse and he was almost 7 feet tall. His whole family was Norwegian pure for longer than anybody had record (more than 100 generations), and they're all monstrously tall. I guess that's what happens when you're part of the Master Race, you have physical and mental traits people can't even comprehend much less believe.

Best Andre the Giant Story I know. Andre was famous for his consumtion of alcohol.
One night at a bar some guys were cocking off & got him mad & he chased them out of the bar they got into their car & he turned it on its roof with them inside it.
That's the strength this man posessed.
GregoriousGregori9 1 year ago
GuySeriously .. You seriously need to do some research In his early 20's Andre was a monster He was infamous in the eurpoean wrestling circuit for not only drop kicks but from going off the second rope with drop kicks & clotheslines. One of his absolute favorite moves was to literally body press over his head & throw his opponent 4 to 5 rows into the crowd. He could hold any title at any time he chose to. He only lost a match when it was to build heat & gate draws.
GregoriousGregori9 1 year ago
This is embarassing most of these wrestlers are fat out of shape men who couldn't wrestle.
Andre was a terrible wrestler and shit compared to people like the big show. You know the big show in wcw and early wwf was doing dropkicks all the time? he could ever do a kick up.
GuysSeriously 1 year ago
@GuysSeriously Andre The Giant could do a dropkick. He was very agile.
Paul Wight had the same disease, which is acromegaly. He got successful surgery in the early 90s to stop the disease. Andre The Giant couldn't get that. It evolved, and Andre was a victim of his own time.
So, to be fair, when they were both in their prime, they were very similar. However, Andre's strength advantage is undeniable. He wasn't like any other human being. He truly was the Eighth Wonder Of The World.
DanyMercury2 1 year ago
@DanyMercury2 actually he was offered treatment by a Japanese doctor when he was wrestling in Japan..but Andre refused..multiple times.
Blondsparky 1 year ago
@Blondsparky I never heard or read anything about that. It's been documented that he got surgery for his back in the late 80s, and surgeries for his knees in 1992.
I heard Bobby Heenan say that the surgery he really needed, the one Big Show got, wasn't advanced enough for him to try it.
Where did you hear/read that ? I'd like to read it too. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong.
I just like to know all the facts. The year[s], the names of the people, why he would have declined, etc...
DanyMercury2 1 year ago
@DanyMercury2 saw it on an A&E tribute special to Andre the Giant. The doctor diagnosed him with acromegaly and offered some form of treatment, don't know if it was surgery or drugs to suppress the giantism..don't know All I remember is Andre refused tx for his acromegaly because he knew it made him unique and different from all the other wrestlers. He did get treatment for his back and knees, though.
Blondsparky 1 year ago
@Blondsparky Ah, alright. I'll try to watch that.
If it is indeed true, it cost him his life at a very young age. I would call that bad judgement.
Well, thank you for the information.
DanyMercury2 1 year ago
Look for old matches of these guys. I remember a young Andre that weighed about 350. He had washboard abbs huge arms & shoulders. He had a standing drop kick & many other moves that only a couple of big men could do. Monsoon to had a huge drop kick, headscissors and stamina that was rivaled only by Sammartino, Gagne, Thesz. Yes Monsoon was not a body builder, HE WAS A 2 TIME NCAA CHAMPION He could wrestle well. Many old timers in their prime today would destroy anyone today

Andre was not 7ft 4 it's impossible because there's lots of pics with him next to Chamberlain the basketball player and he's a legit 7ft 1 and andre looked a little shorter than him. Andre was no bigger than 7ft in his prime.

@GuysSeriously It has been documented that Andre The Giant was 6'11, so you are right.
In the late 80s, he may have been even shorter, due to surgeries.

I sort of Disliked Monsoon after a while. He came out during the Andre/Wepner Match and began kicking Wepner after Andre tossed him over the rope. Didn't think it was his place. In a column he wrote for the Phila Journal he sort of dared a guy to get into the ring with him who had the NERVE to question the 'Credibilty' of the 'Sport'. Rather than ignore such comments, He would get annoyed insist that everything was on the level.

@dpman72 People with Acromegaly are NOT strong people, particularly for their size, it's one of the traits that goes with the disease.
Andre was probably the strongest man who ever lived with the disease their whole life, but fact is, he still had it, and didn't have nearly the strength that everyone claimed. And, if you notice, he's virtually immobile even here, back in 77'..

@NWpowerhouse85 Well he was able to pick up Hogan and John Studd even in his later years and body slam them. They weighed over 300 pounds! Disease or not, that takes some strength. And don't forget, Andre didn't work out like the other wrestlers.
