I've heard the same about John Studd. He never played the bad guy outside of the arenas. He was always kind to fans. The ironic thing is that there are stories that Andre The Giant had very little patience with fans and wasn't very nice to them.
@JohnnyBakery I met Andre and he was very nice to me. When I shook hands with him he laughed at the way i looked at the size difference between our hands, or course I was only about 14 years old at the time. lol
Fantastic! Big Show is well spoken and gave a simple, heartfelt induction speech. And Big John's son did the same. One of my all time favorite wrestlers from my childhood, Big John Studd.
@smpanish1 He was a nice guy. I had the privilege of meeting him at the '89 Royal Rumble and he was very polite to my family and myself. I have yet to meet a pro wrestler that's as nice as Big John was on that evening.
BJS was one of the true company men. He never refused to job for others and as much as he wanted to be the dominant big man in wrestling, he happily let Andre win their "fued" simply because that's what the WWF wanted. A true legend of pro wrestling.
Though I bet he couldn't act his way out of a grocery bag... I bet Big John Studd would have been a great casting choice for Thor... He has that classic Viking/Norse look... plus he was HUGE.
This is a great tribute to Big John Studd. The Giant delivered one of the most eloquent Hall of Fame speeches ever. R.I.P. John Minton; Big John Studd gone too soon, you will never be forgotten.
When I was a little kid, my dad met Big John Studd at an airport. He told him what a big fan his kids were of him and wrestling. Dad got him to autograph pieces of paper for us that said "Hold onto your dreams because you can make them happen" and I keep that piece of paper in a special place to this day.
I remember seeing Studd when he broke in as Chuck O'Connor back in '72 in WWWF, and later when he was part of the masked Executioners tag team with his mentor Killer Kowalski (1977, I believe). Studd was mostly used as a heel because promoters thought that no one would buy Studd as a good guy - he just looked so intimidating. I don't think that when Khali or Giant Gonzales pass on, they will be as fondly remembered as John Studd (if they're remembered at all).
RIP Big John. I remember seeing him back around '92 - buying gas at a gas station in Burke, VA. It didn't even register until after he walked away. He was so soft spoken.
i remember seeing big john studd as a good guy when andre was a villan during his second run in the wwf, big john was a referee in a match between andre and jake the snake roberts...
I heard Andre in the dressing room really disliked John Studd. I have heard it's because Andre thought they were was only supposed to be one giant in the WWE and that was him. But whatever his reasons he didn't like him.
@Sweetguy9009 They say that Andre did not like many of the wrestlers. He was always filled with himself and a jerk towards many of the other wrestlers.
Yes, you could be right. I did hear from several wrestlers that he didn't play to plan very well. That could of caused so much anger and bitterness. I saw Andre when he first wrestled in the USA some years ago. He was a different wrestler when he had his health.
@megaman2160, I was comparing the two as well and I think they are both about the same size. I have always wanted to compare Andre the Giant to Giant Gonzales. The best way to do it is to compare Big John Studd with Andre the Giant and then compare the Undertaker with Giant Gonzales.
