Whoa! Poor Andre. I thought wrestlemania 6 was his last active match. I know there was that fake build up with Earthquake in 91. He was in bad shape. But it still must have been a treat to see him then.
This was closer to 1993. Either Andre's last or second last tour in Mexico. He was basically getting paid a fortune to stand on the ring apron at this point. I've seen other matches from this tour where he actually would ignore his partners efforts to tag him in.
You're right. Terry Funk also writes about it in his autobio, "Andre took out a bottle and showed it to us. There was a mass of sizable bones in it, which was the one removed from his knee in the operation." Andre always enjoyed a card game and bottles of wine on Japanese tours. He stayed at one of the five-star hotels in Tokyo and loved his native French food there with The Funk Brothers. AJPW never ran short of bottles of wine, which was kinda painkiller, for Andre anytime and anywhere.
jajaja no mames, el puto bam bam le tenia terror a canek jajaja asi son de culeros los putos gringos, que bueno que andre no lo era, jejeje, aprendan gringos mother fuckers que los verdaderos maestros de la lucha libre somos los mexicanos, lo traemos en la sangre, un mexicano le romperia la madre a cualquier gringo putito jajaja
Pinche Canek, nunca he visto otro luchador que levantara con el press militar a los rivales con tanta facilidad, uno se imagina que no pesan mas de 10 kilos por lo sencillo que los carga :)
carajo... ahora que la ola de los independientes viene tomando fuerza d nuevo.. derrumban el toreo.. hubiera sido sede d funciones interesantes d nuevo, no komo las lamentables funciones k dio triste A ultimamente en el toreo -.-
En esta función de lucha libre se llevó a cabo en el Toreo de Cuatro Caminos hace más de 17 años cuando vinieron importantes figuras de la WWF (hoy WWE) y con mucho aficionado, es una tristeza que el coloso de Naucalpan haya sido derrumbado para nuevos proyectos y el recuerdo pernanezca para la afición de este rudo deporte.
en esta funcion en especifico creo que no fue en el toreo aunque no descarto que tambien hayan peleado con las mismas ternas en el toreo (que era muy comun) pero si ves casi al final esta la porra ruda (vestidos de rojo) de La Arena Neza. saludos.
@samukenzo75 esta lucha no fue en el toreo fue en la arena neza y a la empresa lucha libre internacional (toreo) vinieron estrellas de todo el mundo de hecho ni Andre ni Bam Bam Bigelow pertenecia a esa empresa en ese momento posterormente vinieron algunas estrellas mas que posteriormente serian estrellas en dicha empresa owen hart (blue blazer), kokina (yokozuna), chris benoit (pegassus kid) y varios mas, pero primero se pulieron en mexico
ever notice how when former wrestling greats make appearances at an Indy show, they always look different or somethings different, whether it be the attrie or something that they bring down to the ring or just they're build is different.
El Canek once body slammed Andre the Giant. But that was years before this when Andre was only about 440 pounds. Andre was MUCH more athletic back then and could assist smaller guys like Canek and Harley Race when they slammed him. At the time of this video I doubt even Hulk Hogan could have slammed the big guy. Andre could hardly walk much less assist in being slammed! Poor guy. You can SEE his pain just getting into the ring at the begining.
That video is online, and Andre wasn't as heavy as this, but pretty damn heavy. Canek barely lifted him and hardly slammed him, while Hogan obviously slammed him (and yes I realize Andre was "helping" both of them, just saying).
Hulk Hogan said in an interview that when he slammed Andre at Wrestlemania 3 he was more like over 800 lbs. Hogan tore some lat muscles in the process.
Ahh to answer the comment below mine. Your not to bright are you. If you want to say that Andre was only 500 then go right ahead, i'm not gonna stop you. But lets see, you say he was only 500 lbs. Hulk Hogan, a wrestler and weight lifter, a better judge on heavy weights then you and me, plus the only person that I know of who picked up Andre says he weighted more like 800 lbs then 500 lbs? Ya i'm gonna go with Hogans word over yours. Jerk off.
Yes in case you didn't know a "Troll" according to Wikipedia. "Is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion." Urban Dictionary "Someone who gets pleasure by typing annoying/controversial/offensive words at strangers on internet forums, for them to read."
Ok I see were your head is at. Allow me to explain to you that the interview I saw with Hogan was not a WWE production. It was on a morning talk show 3 years ago and he said in all honesty, not as Hulk Hogan say your prayers eat your vitamins Hogan but as Terry Gene Bollea, that Andre was 800. There is a big world out there that is not centered on wrestling. Pick up a paper every once in awhile why don't you.
Still Andre never weigh 800 pounds dude! Im a big fan of old school wrestling and Andre never weigh 800! Canek slammed Andre and Andre was like 498 pounds!
Well good for you, dude. Your an authority on wrestling. Yeah!!!!!! Now you can go and wait in line for Hogan's autograph with your cena t-shirt on and tell Hogan he's full of shit. You know how much Andre's balls weight too? Ya troll.
In 1992. It's a few months before Andre passed away in Jan. 1993. You see Andre with his left leg heavily bandaged. He had wore the bandage since he had his leg hurt by John "Earthquake" Tenta in 1991. Seeing his face in the ring, it sounds like to me he came to Mexico for the last time as if to say good bye to fans and people concerned there, because he seems to have a hunch that his wrestling career is coming to an end. Oh! don't forget Bam Bam Gigelow . May Rest Their Souls.
Estoy de acuerdo con ustedes menos con lo del Internacional Mil Mascaras, este maestro enfrento a los mejores luchadores del mundo en sus respectivos paises y en las mejores organizaciones de lucha libre del mundo antes que el principe maya, esto sin restarle todo los logros de canek son los unicos mexicanos juntos con dos caras que han hecho lo mejor por la lucha libre mexicana, hoy en dia estos luchadores ya estan cansados y los nuevos solo dan lastima sobre todo el oeoeoeo ciber.
muy cierto, esos tres -canek, mil mascaras y dos caras- han sido por mucho los mejores completos en mexico, cada quien tiene lo suyo, en el caso de mil mascaras y canek creo que mil mascaras tenia mucha mas tecnica pero canek era mas fuerte
si dos titanes pero masCANEK, EL CUAL FUE EL UNICO QUE SACO LA CARA POR MEXICO , NI TINIEBLAS NI MIL MASCARAS NI NINGUN PESO PESADO , PUSO EL NOMBRE DE MEXICO COMO CANEK TAN ALTO, YO ERA VENDEDOR DE SUVENIRS EN EL TOREO DE CUATRO CAMINOS , Y VI TODAS SUSA GRANDES LUCHAS , LUCHAS COMO CONTRA ANTONIO INOKI , HULK HOGAN , ANDRE EL GIGANTE , BIG VAN VADER , BAM BAM BIGELOU , BLUE BLAZER (Q.P.D.) KOKINA , Y MUCHAS MAS QUE NO ME ACUERDO POR AHORA , VIVA CANEK Y VIVA LA LUCHA MEXICANA ( LA DE ANTES)
Tienes toda la razón. Ni el propio Dos Caras enfrentó así a estos gigantes. Por eso y por toda la calidad que tiene, Canek es el mejor peso completo mexicano de la historia, y es el papá de Wagner
955LALITO. UNO DE LOS MAS GRANDES Y PODEROS LUCHADORES DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS, CAMPEON MUNDIAL DE TODOS LOS PESOS COMPLETOS DE LA UWA, EL PODEROSO PRINCIPE MAYA, CANEK.
