"Jack Tunney said it? That's like getting a guarantee from Ollie North." - Ventura. Always loved his quips.

[don417]

damn, he could barely walk

[chrisis138]

Andre is so outta shape in this.

[toucansam3]

Easily the greatest rivalry in wrestling history.

[spider1974]

This was at the very first Royal Rumble. No ppv, this was on the USA Network.

[tubedudeT2000]

YOU JUST HOLD THE MIC AND SHUT UP, LOL

[subzerowarrior1]

01:39 Big gut on Andre. I wonder how many cases of wine and whole chickens he had before this contract signing?

[davv1975]

strongest chair ever

[subzerowarrior1]

@davv1975 Haha that was exactly what I was going to type lol!

I think it must have been tested on King Kong Bundy's fat ass first before giving it to Andre.

[Derby14]

I remember watching the first Royal Rumble live and still have it on VHS...

[TahishaArvo]

@Derby14 i hope you have a damn good vcr, cause it looks like they're being phased out

[Derby14]

@Derby14 Oh yeah...big time. It probably makes sense to buy a couple of new ones now if you have a large tape collection...

[michaeljackson1978]

Amen kcjones! Bring back randy savage, curt hennig! Bring back all the singers and wrestlers, dead or alive from the 90s on back. Bring back michael jackson and we'll give you bieber. these days I sorely miss. The 80s were the ultimate decade for music, movies and wrestling. I agree with u all. I miss these days. It hurts to watch these clips.

[LedWhisky69]

I remember watching this as a kid when it first aired and absolutely laughing my ass off when Andre flipped the table over on Hulk's head. LOL! Damn, that was so funny.

[Rayla840]

Couldn't they have given these guys a smaller table?

[realtalk300]

please bring back these days please

[80sguy38]

Dam i miss these days.

[22centman36]

@80sguy38 so do I,man. I love watching these clips and they bring a tear to my eyes.

[wrestlingchallenge]

Mean Gene addresses Andre the Giant as "Mr. Roussimoff," his real last name. I think he was only referred to in that way at this event and at the WrestleMania III contract signing the year before.

[AndrewsOpinion15]

dear god bring us back andre the giant owen hart brian pillman chris benoit davey boy smith eddie guerrero big john studd jyd mike hegstrand aka hawk buddy rogers yokozuna sherri martel luna vachon miss elizabeth in return will give u justin bieber and miley cyrus and the miz goldust lady gaga jonas brothers nicole polizzi and michael sorrentino !!!!

[KCJONES23]

@AndrewsOpinion15 While youre at it ask for Macho Man Randy Savage and Mr. Perfect.

[lordspectre]

@AndrewsOpinion15 woah woah woah goldust stays put the rest can go we will add cena to the list to go

[TahishaArvo]

@AndrewsOpinion15 somehow, i can't picture a bunch of corpses going at it.. you'll have to wait for the zombie apocalypse

[dylanxfriends]

@AndrewsOpinion15 and dont forget john cena and usher

[LittleLeeHere]

@AndrewsOpinion15 You have to take Goldust off that list, the man is a legend

[PhilM662]

Not too many of these contract signings or arm wrestling contests end without a fight , do they?

[sofapapa]

I love it when they had these contract transactions in the ring. It looked as if the rematches were also built up for a later date. In this case, about 10 to 11 months after WM3. Nowadays a rematch takes place the night after the PPV on RAW, or on Smackdown a few days later. No contract, no formal setup. Just a verbal declaration at the start of the show in [I]THAT[/I] very ring.

[mozilla1986]

Henan hit the nail on the head, 'these guys aren't americans' man I love it when they have a heel comentator, king lawler did just as good, micheal cole on the other is just plain rude I watched it recently and I thought the commentators genuinely hated each to other.

[mrm87]

@mozilla1986 That is Jesse Ventura, not Bobby Heenan. I just wanted to clear that up, but it's still a good point regardless.

[cbaldwinjr]

Sounds like McMahon was surprised to hear Andre billed at 425...

For all of Ventura's snark...he was usually spot on with his observations. Like the "Real American" theme being played in Canada lol.

[emeek1977]

This was at the first Royal Rumble..In my hometown (Hamilton, Ontario). 10 year old me is in the crowd somewhere :)

[oh9shit6]

wat mean VTS ?

[horseman420]

to this day, contract signings do not go well ......good stuff!!

[zantara]

I find it hilarious that Vince MacMahon is demanding that they hurry up and get this over with so they can get ot more matches. Now it's like they say "Hurry up with this wrestling nonsense so we can get to endless talking and backstage antics."

[TahishaArvo]

@zantara at least they never had stuntmen do anything for them like movies have

[gtz1975]

Where's Bobby Heanan?

[TerrickTerran]

@gtz1975 This was during the period where DiBiase had purchased Andre's services. Andre went back to Heenan after SummerSlam.

[macaroonlee]

This was at Royal Rumble 1988. Little trivia: The Royal Rumble was originally gona be called Rumble Royale
