Andre The GIant and Jim Duggan

[TheRandomSweed]

Now how come Hulk Hogan was considered a Real American Hero when Hacksaw always went around with the american flag and shouted usa usa usa..I guess having a beer belly and hanging snot isint good pr LOL. Im just kidding...

[B4rrio2012]

OBEY

[WaterCrystalline]

You people should know that WWE is all scripted... everything is rigged. They're all just a bunch of good actors.

[TheRandomSweed]

@WaterCrystalline Well no shit captain obvious... Youre about 15 years to late with that messeage.

[TheDaniel180895]

HOLY FUCK.

[MisterJammo]

I have the same name as him omg my name is James Duggan xD

[109367]

why is there even people in the stadium, they actually PAY for this . . . omg someone needs to watch a boxing match

[1granddragon]

@109367 yeah they're to orthadox, by the book, etc... it's always two combatants dancing around a ring, throwing mitts. This is everything. maybe it's all rigged, but it's entertaining

[xDonaldDx]

wtf?? is it me or does this look fake

[MsShrek1969]

Фигня!!!

[greenhound]

@oldschool6804 search for "professional wrestling" on wikipedia

it says quite clearly here that wrestling is fake. if you weren't blind and if you were older than 9 you would recognize this

[TheInsanityGame]

Andre the Giant vs Big Show, same suit different hair

[Randinoish]

Yes, they have to damage the CHARACTER that they depict. They may hurt themselves, but they still follow a general script.

[Purpleoj27]

@oldschool6804 If you open you eyes you would be able to see this was so fake.

[felpen537]

@Purpleoj27 Yes fake but still very very entertaining.

[oldschool6804]

@Purpleoj27 HOW? YOU LITTLE ASSHOLE!

[greenhound]

@oldschool6804 are you aware that ALL wrestling is just acting.

[oldschool6804]

@greenhound no it's not they sometimes really hate one another you're wrong ie shawn and bret hulk and orndorff!

[Classicgaming101]

The big show's insperation

[Purpleoj27]

@oldschool6804 Dude it's fake

[oldschool6804]

@Purpleoj27 noit's not you're an idiot he really was bleeding and he choked him FUCK OFF!

[oldschool6804]

@Purpleoj27 NO IT'S NOT FAKE HE REALLY CHOCKED HIM YOU IDIOT!

[whatthaell]

hes bigger than the great khali for real check it out your selves

[LizardKing985]

The Eight Wonder of the World.

[Demann5]

apparently he literally had 13 inch wrists

[MegaNIKID]

Yeah.. Too bad wwe is fake,

[Nwwlsfinest]

@MegaNIKID wwe is fake, but andre the giant brought the most fans back then. of course, his size, but he put on a good show. back then wwe was for entertainment, people new it was fake, people were tired of the Olympian athletes that were actually fighting for a metal.

[oldschool6804]

@Nwwlsfinest wwf isn't FAKE IT'S PREDETERMINED LOOK AT THE BROKEN BODIES AND EARLY DEATHS IT ISN'T FAKE THEY GET ALOT OF PHYSICAL ABUSE!

[SarsecPally]

@MegaNIKID OMG! Is that true? Damn you must be pretty smart because no one ever said that before.

[oldschool6804]

@MegaNIKID ITISN'T FAKE HE WAS REALLY BLEEDING AND CHOKING HIM ANDRE LOST HIS TEMPER

[vigobite]

4:23 Was that even FAIR? I was not aware that wrestlers were aloud to take 2x4s into the ring.

[1096olopez]

que lucha amigos

[yoyothriller]

Very entertaining! You gotta love Hacksaw Jim Duggan. I think Andre made him pay later for stepping over him at 3:51, but at least he had the balls to do it. 5 out of 5 Hacksaw Thumbs ups!

[KittColby]

Damn. That was awesome.

[nobodysperfect06]

if Andre the Giant was still alive and in his prime, I wonder if he would be able wrestle an Adult Male Silverback Gorilla

[Songspoint]

@nobodysperfect06 He can murder a bear!

[nobodysperfect06]

@Songspoint even an Adult Male Polar Bear?

[Songspoint]

@nobodysperfect06 If he went back in time he can kill a Tyrannosaurus.

[lazarevic95]

@nobodysperfect06 oh hell yeah dude he was probably as strong as one

[nobodysperfect06]

@lazarevic95 strong as a Polar Bear? Grizzly Bear? Kodiak Bear?

[bAzTNM]

Look at the size difference too.

[bAzTNM]

What happened to the Brain?

[maggot13]

What year is this?



[Imadjinn]

Security for Andre the Giant...

HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!

[dezmania3]

Stfu

[subzerowarrior1]

Let's be honest here. Fast forward to 2011, can you honestly imagine these 2 clowns ever main eventing a wrestling match today?.....Lol, I didn't think so.

[CreatureLikeGod]

@subzerowarrior1 clowns? the miz is a clown, john cena is a clown. but andre the giant and hacksaw jim duggan are legends!

[subzerowarrior1]

@CreatureLikeGod They are ?legends" as you put it only because they were around in the golden era of pro wrestling back in the 80s. During that period you could be as crap as the Bushwackers and still end up being a legend in the future Miz a clown? Yes I agree on that but not John Cena. He has proven time and again that he deserves to be in the main event. He may not be the most skilled of wrestlers, but he has more heart than 95% of that WWE roster so yes one day he'll be a legend.

[JonasPolsky]

Jim the Giant Killer.

[Jgent79]

Jesse Ventura is hilarious

[lovethevids420]

when wrestlin made sence till 2001...

[BigPWilly123]

watch 2:26-2:28 lol he was stripping him and then he fixed it before pretending to wrestle lol.

wtf haha Jim. Cracked me up

thumbs up so people see please

[nixxanator]

This shit is so scripted...

[39120c]

@nixxanator No shit..

[oldschool6804]

@nixxanator IT WASN'T SCRIPTED HE BUSTED HIM IN THE MOUTH LEGIT

[HerzAmRechtenFleck]

The good old Wrestling, i miss that so much! WCW and WWF were much better than only a big show like WWE. They tryed to beat each other more and more up with greater shows, and now there is only WWE which dominates Wrestling.

Thumbs up if you agree!

[dx77ytss]

That little pussy had to have a fckn board to take Andre down

[MrCactuspuncher]

Holy shit He looks like a neanderthal

[MrSimayi69]

LOL ... i always enjoyed the commentators. they would make me laugh.  XD

[nobledb1023]

Kind of insulting to Andre - closest thing today to showing him off in a circus.

[ssamdgangster]

more like shrek ?

[B2B76]

1:25, lol at Ventura commentary..."This guys a crazy man!"

[galagajunkie]

Duggan was opened up the hardway or that was a hell of a blade job, standing in the middle of the ring like that.

[underpathunderpath]

@galagajunkie I think Duggan had a blood packet in his mouth. IT was that or one HELL O fa headbutt.

[tridentmovies]

@underpathunderpath

He got accidentally busted in the mouth almost right away.

[oldschool6804]

@underpathunderpath IT WAS REAL BLOOD HE HIT HIM IN THE MOUTH WHEN HE WENT TO GRAB HIM

[toucansam3]

What about Brian Costello? He totally had Andre too.

[B2B76]

7'4 I thought his height was, he gained a ton of weight late in his life, he was close to 600 lbs at the time of his death. Had terrible back problems.

[StephenAlexWalker]

@B2B76 He was nowhere near 7'4 he was around 6'9 but he looked much bigger because of his condition.

[beers2257]

this was a great feud , didnt last long because Andre was in his final years, seeing him on crutches a year before he died sucked... the king kong bundy , and big john studd matches were always great .... the man's height will always be a guess to wrestling fans, i dont know.....I would say he was a solid 7"0 tall and at 500 plus pounds towards the end i dont know how he performed....

[rhcp16flea]

that's a large man.

[madskizophrenik]

I know that to some of you this might be entertaining despite the fact that is fake...but to me its just too much of a show...like could people fighting be that fucking stupid...come one he took like 5 minutes to pick up the damn 2X4 and then he didnt even hit him hard to knock him out...Im sorry but this is just fucking stupid.

[oldschool6804]

@madskizophrenik HE WAS BEING CHOKED LEGIT AND ANDRE ACCIDENTALLY HIT HIM IN THE MOUTH WHEN HE WENT TO GRAB HIM THE 2X4 REALLY LANDED TOO.

[bumtaksi]

andre wasn't tall..he was a fat!!

[ESTMarkus]

@bumtaksi I would consider being around 7 ft very tall.

[misterE2012]

@bumtaksi You don't consider 7 foot 4 to be tall?

[bumtaksi]

@misterE2012 the problem is,that he wasnt 7ft 4,he was about 7 ft....big show is taller!

[hazem203]

I'mma about to go Andre da Giant,

You a sell out, but i ain't buyin'

[WaxenMeatpatty]

Back when pro wrestling was fun to watch.

[PsychoNinjaPirate]

Only here cuz of Lil Wayne :/

[spurs647]

wrestling was just as fake back then haha

[AnArrogantFrog]

@spurs647 WWE and it still is. The acting just got better.

[oldschool6804]

@spurs647 IT WASN'T FAKE YOU'RE WRONG!

[dssin]

when wrestling was worth watching

[ToxicxShots]

How do you fake this ? o.o

[miro9963]

that shit is real

[itsthemexicanguy]

That*

[itsthemexicanguy]

Was theat Ryan Dunn?

[jodm4now]

OBEYY!!MOTHERFUKERS!

[KianMusicPratten]

pause at 1:40 Jim Duggan is 6'3 and is abit smaller than eye height of Andre theres not way Andre is 13 inchs taller than Jim if Jim is at eyes height Andre is about 7' here at his death he was 6'9.5 because his spine was bent and had bad knees and legs because of his 565lb frame he lost about 3-4 inchs in his carrer starting out at 7'1 ending at 6'9.5 because his back,knees and legs couldnt support his weight so his spine bent his knees gave way and his legs hurt also because of his boots lifts

[fjccommish]

@KianMusicPratten The top of Duggan's head comes to just under Andre's nose, not to just under eye level.

[KianMusicPratten]

@fjccommish no it doesnt pause at 1:37.

[CanadianGuitarist]

@KianMusicPratten There's a picture from the early 80's with Andre and Wilt Chamberlain, who was 7'1. The Stilt's got a bit on Andre. While Andre certainly lost some height as his joints began to give way in the later years of his life, I'd say he was more about 6'10.

[KianMusicPratten]

@CanadianGuitarist yes thats right at his peak 7'0 death 6'9.5-6'10.

[TheLightningspeed]

we need jesse the body back as a commentator

[nookie22100]

omg andre is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggg­ggggggggggggggggggge

[abdboji]

What a time of wrestling was !!

when i was a kid i always watching Andre and Hulk Hogan match ..... oh man , time is running so fast ....i would if time is going back !

[23spacecase]

do i hear jesse ventura?

[killerdugong]

@23spacecase yes. he was a commentator in the WWF for a long time.then Hogan got him fired lol

[bathingapes112]

i cant imagine standing next to him, im 15, and 4'10, 112 pounds. e____e

[KianMusicPratten]

@bathingapes112 15 4'10 and 112lbs im 10 5' and 76lbs.

[Adiakite8]

He was arrested for punching the poor cameraman!!! hahaha :D

[Snailbarf]

people take alot of hard blows during their wrestling careers. Andre died relatively young and I think this blow may have shortened his life. The first responders were very poorly trained. You shouldn't attempt to move the victim there. You should call an ambulance straight away. I feel the family of Andre has every right to sue WWE for negligence based on the irrefutable video evidence

[MrZone]

@Snailbarf You're an idiot. He died from Giant's syndrome, case close.

[MackVirus888]

Wow I remember watching this episode when i was a kid...how I miss those times...Wrestling was the best

[MasterGhidorah1117]

I don't care if he looks weird Andre the Giant Rocked!Much better then the Great Khali.

[StanBennet]

In Sioux Falls SD. It wasn't even a televised match. My brother and I and our friends were sitting in the front row. Hacksaw vs Andre. The match went as you thought it would and then Andre wrapped his upper strap of his singlet around the neck of the Hacksaw and pulled him off the ground and shook him back and forth by his neck and blood glushed out. It may be staged, but that night, that match left us all looking at each other going what the F!

[oldschool6804]

@StanBennet THAT WASN'T STAGE ANDRE ACCIDENTALLY HIT HIM WHEN HE WENT TO GRAB HIM

[jesusgonzalezbecerra]

wwe is fake because wwf superstars had alot of injuries so they called it wwe wwf stands for world wrestling federation wwe stands for world wrestling entertainment

[oldschool6804]

@jesusgonzalezbecerra WWE ISN'T ENTIRELY FAKE PEOPLE STILL GET HURT!

[jesusgonzalezbecerra]

its not fake its scripted wwf is more real than wwe almost everything is fake

[jesusgonzalezbecerra]

oh ma gawd he just did the stunner!!!

[Purpleoj27]

That was more fake than a porn star's boobs!!!

[metal0737]

@Purpleoj27 WHAT? YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT? OF COURSE WRESTLING IS FAKE! BUT IT'S STILL FUN TO WATCH!

[oldschool6804]

@metal0737 no it isn't fake you're wrong he was really bleeding stfu!

[oldschool6804]

@Purpleoj27 actually it wasn'tfake he really was bleeding and andre was choking him

[greenhound]

@oldschool6804 are you 9

[oldschool6804]

@greenhound IT'S NOT FAKE THIS WAS REAL, AND MUCH OF THE CONTACT IS REAL!

[greenhound]

@oldschool6804 let me guess santa is real too

[TOM71292]

I think andre was an absolutley awful wrestler, he couldnt sell shit or dish it out, he had two left feet! He was famous for his massize size, and he has undoubtedley had a big influence on some of the big guys we see in wrestling today like Kane, Big Show and Khali. Andre should be respected for that!

[whythefamilyguy]

@TOM71292 that is true of andre towrds the end of his career , it was due to a bad back and massive wieght gians , but check out any of his matches prior to 1985 especialy his matches in new japan pro wrestling , and you will see the andre that inspired big show kane and khalie

[MrHandsallover]

@colew8g why don't you shut the fuck I am sure a torn pec muscle or dislocated kneecap is staged shitbrain fucktard

[linksmola1]

It sound like the announcer from Spongebob, and Peter from Family Guy lol!

[JackMehoff845]

how bout like if your a fan of wrestling and are not here because of lil faggot wayne huh?

[nath909]

Andre ate a ham 'n' egger.

[underpathunderpath]

Andre the Giant, the best man to ever step into a wrestling ring OR A BAR. This guy was the man!

[recklesslife85]

@underpathunderpath Well said. He was a legend of a man and a really nice guy. One of a kind for sure.

[blazerrips91]

He's also a drinking legend

[Cincinnatus1869]

ir wrestling were real , Andre would be champ and the others would be dead

[malfoydude]

@mrach198 I have that on the Best of Saturday Nights Main Event

[eLRaFi26]

like this if you only watching this video because you heard lil wayne mention andre the gaint in the "im on one" track

[IBanishUndead]

@eLRaFi26 lil wayne's a faggot. like your dad. fucking die.

[prettyboyswag317]

@eLRaFi26 no andre been famous he a legend so u prob da only 1 b/c alot of ppl already watch him

[colew8g]

to bad wrestlings fake and staged

[Cincinnatus1869]

@colew8g really ? thats a revelation isnt it . you must be proud

[BozzBalkan]

haha that guy is so funny looking :D

[jibbity99]

wow

[brace110]

WTH this is fucking fake!? who the hell brings a piece of wood to a wrestling match

[Cestro]

@brace110 wow you just realized that now. Have you been living under a rock all this time? We all know this is fake. Of course its fake. Doesn't mean its not entertaining or fun to watch. If you don't like it, don't watch it

[harrypottersdaddy]

@Cestro it's still fake

[oldschool6804]

@harrypottersdaddy it's NOT FAKE YOU ASSHOLE PEOPLE GET HURT ALOT IN WRESTLING!

[oldschool6804]

@Cestro IT'S NOT FAKE ANDI RESENT YOUR COMMENTS WRESTLERS GET HURT BADLY IN MATCHES

[malfoydude]

@brace110 if you watched his Hall of Fame induction you would find out why.

[oldschool6804]

@brace110 IT WAS REAL AND THE BOARD IS REAL GO FUCKOFF!

[brace110]

@oldschool6804 I guess the board was real. The rest isn't

[oldschool6804]

@brace110 you're wronghe was really hurting duggan prove otherwise dick!

[jurellann]

man.. what the killer goliath!! he was larger than the big show in 1 inch!

[RicoLen1]

@mrach198 Which headbutt and which Poffo? Andre wrestled all of them, Angelo (the father of), Randy (Savage), & Lanny ( the Genius) Poffo.

[jakobbije]

thumbs up if you are here because of lil wayne's verse in the DJ Khaled song "I'm On One"

[mrbigblacknutz]

@jakobbije Sure as hell not lol. I'm here cause classic WWF was the shit and Andre is the biggest baddest mother of all time.

[Randinoish]

This is how I respond to wrestling being called "fake". These people are acting, but they have to damage themselves slightly to make such scenes, and that is not fake.

[oldschool6804]

@Randinoish THEY DAMAGE THEMSELVES NOT SLIGHTLY THEY DAMAGE THEMSELVES GREATLY IT'S NOT ACTING!

[AceDagger1]

That 'young man' that Andre stepped on seemed to be Shane McMahon

[OldSchoolRasslin]

We need men like Hacksaw Jim Duggan to defend America today.

[RyanIncorporated]

DAMN! Using his singlet strap to choke Duggan?! BRUTAL! XD I'd say that's one of the most heelish things I've seen him do.

[IxdokuxI]

500 lbs? HOLY SHIT!

[ripppking]

the real days

[seth5220]

That probably never did any good to his pituitary tumor in his head

[FilmmakeroftheFuture]

I have never been more infatuated by wrestling in my whole life!!!:D

[guitaro5000]

He had excess GH (growth hormone) which made him huge as a kid, but as an adult the excess GH didn't stop. It gave him acromegoly which made his bones keep thickening (which is why his face looks like that).

[Nox360]

@guitaro5000 Plus his hands and feet.

[cne08]

Andre wasn't a good heel.

[Jilltle]

lol andre is like ima sit on u if u dnt shut up ROFL

[rlouie05]

I wonder what would've happened if Duggan actually won a title during this time...

[mkeysou812]

That was brilliant, they did that so well. Andre was wild and totally out of control

[Mp25DIII]

@mrach198 The Duggan-Andre feud happened in 1988, Jake-Andre was in 1989

[oddlane]

wow- i can't believe I stumbled across this- I was in the crowd for this show! This was filmed in the Winston Salem (NC) colosseum around March of 88. Great night- they filmed about 3 episodes of wwf superstars of wrestling that night. Dark matches included, it was nearly a 4 hour show.

[slipknot789able]

@oddlane was it at the lawrence joel coliseum if it was called that back then

[oddlane]

@slipknot789able yes, that's right. From what I remember, the show took place about a month before wrestlemania 4. The first 2 episodes were aired the first 2 weeks before WM4, then this showdown with Duggan/Andre was aired the week after WM4.

[xMikePADDLEx94]

wow what a joke
