Andre the Giants last U.S. t.v. appearance

[EAchankre]

Bruno dissed bret n shawn n taker

[dpatinka1]

Theadore long wow!!!!!

[johnathan3gameking]

wow look at the young J.R!! damn

[BiggWill1988]

Is this the only thing he had done with WCW?

[Freebleepers]

@BiggWill1988 Well with the Ted Turner owned WCW, yes.

[lildwayne21]

Teddy Long is one of the flyest niggaz to ever break into wrestling. There's nobody quite like him. He's got that swag.

[lildwayne21]

Damn......Bruno didn't pull any punches in this clip on what he thought about WWE at that time.

[lildwayne21]

Good to see Andre and Bruno in this clip.

[walruswasrob]

I read in WWE's book about Andre about this. Vince was very hurt by Andre's cameo. But in Andre's defense, he didn't do it out of maliciousness. He went to visit and hang out with his fellow wrestlers. More than likely Tony Schiavone approached him before they went on camera for a quick word and Andre probably agreed. Much more damning to Vince was Bruno's endorsement of WCW's product AND his dismissal of WWF/E ( the latter made the former look insincere, IMHO).

[davv1975]

Andre sitting is taller than all of them standing!

[SegaGore]

Crazy I didn't ever think Andre did anything with WCW!

[GanjaZombi2]

V.I.P. room also known as the lobby

[Loafer3211]

The sad thing is  that Andre had about 40 matches after this event

[hbk2hhh]

suprissed teddy long didnt make a tag match here

[krngirl83]

i love Andre the giant. he's my favourite Giant of all time!

[xdexhumanizex]

for those of you unfamiliar with missy hyatt. give her a google search right now. a shame what she did to herself.

Also, Andre was the man.

[porn1978]

andre asking "who's that" and laughing, when his big, ugly, abnormal, didnt get laid until after he became a pro wrestling champion ass looks like SHREK!

[xdexhumanizex]

@porn1978 you're obviously a moron.

[porn1978]

@xdexhumanizex your dads a moron for not wearing a condom.

[GypsyRock]

Missy was SOOOOO pretty back then. 

[mallards2001]

classic time in wrestling , Vince i think totally killed the sport of wrestling buyin out WWE & ECW the classic era died when Vince bought out wcw

[Eyebeemz]

Professional wrestling died with Andre - R.I.P. boss



[MrJohrdanN]

@Eyebeemz lol no it didn't

[Speakup84]

Missy Hyatt was fine back then,now she looks like a crack whore!

[Kaizen666]

@Speakup84 She must have only fucked half the roster at this point.

[fatboymatt]

Andre is taller than everyone even when he's sitting down.

[SouthshoreVice]

DAMN playa you tall! Holla holla!

[ThePTB]

Oh my god. Teddy Long.

[hcvang]

is that Andre's costume from the episode of Zorro he was in??? I'm watching it right now! looks just like it.

[hcvang]

how is this his last tv appearance?

[KianMusicPratten]

@hcvang Because it was most probably in early 1993 before his death might be like 1992.

[kissmusiclover]

Whom is the announcer interviewing Bruno??

[MrExposethetruth]

@kissmusiclover seriously? it's Jim Ross. wow

[GlorifiedTruth]

I wondered if there was any chance in hell that Bruno could complete a sentence without bashing WWF/WWE. Apparently not. In fairness, however, J.R. kind of dangled it in front of him...

[MrSickofstupidity]

@GlorifiedTruth Bruno's bashing of the WWF is warranted. Vince treated Bruno like shit.

[DaringDirk100]

@MrSickofstupidity

The McMahons made Bruno rich and famous. He's a fucking ingrate.

[MrSickofstupidity]

@DaringDirk100 You're an idiot.

[DaringDirk100]

@MrSickofstupidity

No, he's an ingrate, and you're an idiot.

[MrSickofstupidity]

@DaringDirk100 fuck you coward

[DaringDirk100]

@MrSickofstupidity

No, he's a fucking ingrate motherfucking moron. What I said is true. The McMahon family made him rich and famous.

[MrSickofstupidity]

@DaringDirk100 i really can't argue with you there but you're still an idiot.

[DaringDirk100]

@MrSickofstupidity

How am I an idiot? You don't even know me. You're the motherfucking idiot.

[nicholasbhicks]

did he have any kids?

[Osbournefan123]

@nicholasbhicks I'm pretty sure he had one daughter but they weren't close... he never talked about her

[markferris77]

its called life, as ppl get older, their looks tend to disappear. its a fact of life, ppl cant keep looking 20 to 25 for all their lives

[aaronrus]

missy hyatt was so hot

[wwerulestna]

@aaronrus Damn right she was! What the fuck happened, she's gross now...

[bmoviefanrude]

Wow weird seeing andre around a wcw event!

[gbonifant]

Look at Andre, he looks so sick in this vid, walking around with crutches and short of breath while sitting, it's no wonder he died of congestive heart failure shortly after

[marshallsimon]

Jim Ross, Andre The Giant, Bullet Bob Armstrong & Gordon Solie are WWE Hall Of Famers.

[JoeySymphony]

Theodore Long should bring back that glittery purple bandanna.

Holla holla holla!

[darkowin]

It's hugo from Third Strike

[vanillacoker1]

This was EASILY Missy Hyatt's physical prime. WOW!

[pointman913]

@vanillacoker1 no way I'd say when she was in World Class Wrestling in the mid 80's was her prime

[vanillacoker1]

@pointman913 To each his own I guess lol.

[SCARLEMSCARS]

I wonder how drunk Andre was

[IamRealCanadian]

@SCARLEMSCARS: Please show some respect. He was suffering at the time, nearing his death due to his condition and the Gigantism.

[marshallsimon]

Lex Luger suports TNA Wrestling Big Time.

[puffykilled2pac]

I wish there was still a professional wrestling show on TV. Really hope ROH grows and gets bigger

[paul21mclovin]

if you think teddy looks funny in this video, watch a video of him managing ice train in wcw a few years later where he's gained a lot of weight. can't wait to see bullet bob armstrong inducted into the hall of fame this weekend!

[KiraBlackwater]

Bless Andre. legend is such an overused word these days.

[chocolatecakebunny]

omg is that king omg lol dies laughing

teddy long wtf lol

[Firebomber7]

@chocolatecakebunny

Are you talking about Jim Ross??? Jerry Lawler isn't in this video.

[chocolatecakebunny]

omg is that king omg lol dies laughing

[Y2JROCKFAN]

lol teddy long...

[eslubin]

Funny because people always knocked Bruno for being grumpy and stuck in the past. Yet he was actually ahead of his time. Because now the fans all hate pro wrestling in 2011 and agree with him! even if they barely know him.

[OldSchoolRasslin]

Is Thunderbolt Patterson any relation to Pat Patterson?

[richardshort2001]

Schivone had to keep backing away so he didn't fall into Missy's vagina.

[sickandtiredofmorons]

Thunderbolt Patterson is a fucking racist piece of shit...and was on Morton Downey Jr Show years ago ...blaming the White Man for his failures...and not being able to make it in wrestling.

[franciswhizzite]

4:27 Andre asks Gordan "Who's that?" as Teddy Long introduces Thunderbolt Patterson LOL

[eslubin]

@franciswhizzite somehow i don't think that's what he said...

[mrwrister]

@franciswhizzite  LOL great catch!

[SUCKAGOTPLAYED]

@franciswhizzite hahahahahahaha that's freakin hilarious!!!!

[raiders75]

@franciswhizzite Knowing Andre he probably meant it as a joke. LOL

[Matefeedkillreknot]

jim Ross xD

Rip Andre the giant

[MrOldschool416]

wow just wow man thanks 4 posting this i didnt even know bruno and andre made aperences in wcw in i watched wcw and wwe since i was 6 years old thanks man.....................

[bridgmon007]

@carl22069 I do the same thing I just can't watch it anymore! It used to be the greatest!!

[universalmanchild]

I would fuck the ever living snot out of Missy hyatt.

[ateammember6]

Bruno sounds like an Italian Arnold Schwartznegger. LOL

When Bruno said "the past 10 years and the other leagues have been a major embarrasment" I think that's his way of saying that Vince McMahon's product sucked at the time (which I totally disagree with because the WWF was legendary during this 1992 period.)

[wtf66611]

@ateammember6 Bruno had a falling out with Vince in 1988. And to this day, Bruno wants no part in the WWE...HOF or otherwise.

[JasonL77]

Just for the sake of discussion, how do you think a match between Andre The Giant & The Big Show would've been?

[DarthBelch0]

@JasonL77 Honestly probably slow and boring. I don't think Big Guy vs Big Guy matches can really go places...big guys are way better with other styles. I'm still a fan of Big Show though and respect Andre. Just saying the match wont be great

[Goukimessatsu2]

@JasonL77 sloppy and terrible. Kevin Nash vs Undertaker can be a well to do match. But Andre and the Big Show, thats just too big, most of the time Giants battle each other is always a bust.

[NJPlayer79]

The VIP Room? Looks like Teddy Long is dressed more for the Champagne Room...

[Inediblehulk]

Whoa! Solie looks about 4 feet tall here! Dusty Rhodes looks the same old 450 pounds of crap. Schiavone the same 12 year old castrato. Andre rocking 102 degrees, and Missy with her 85 IQ. Bruno is stuck in 1976, and I'm only 35% sure I know who Patterson even was. It's a numbers game here at The Clash!

[eslubin]

@Inediblehulk lol

[Werwolfwer]

Missy before her plastic days

[TheConfederate666]

RIP Andre

[NJPlayer79]

Bullet Bob Armstrong looks like he's letting his SOOOOULL GLOOOOO...

[PatrioticPirate]

Back when wrestling was worth the electricity...

[marc08110]

IF IT WASN'T FOR MY NEFEW LIKING CENA,,,,,I WOULD'NT BE WATCHING WRESTLING EITHER & STICK TO MY CLASSIC TAPES & YOU TUBE ALSO...

[beyondonethousand]

@carl22069

Same thing carl. I'm a 70s 80s and early 90s wrestling guy.

[bridgmon007]

@beyondonethousand Right on! Thats when wrestling was great!!!

[marshallsimon]

Alot of WWE Legends were at The Clash Of Champions. Buddy Rogers, Bruno Samartino, Ivan Koloff, Stan Staciak, Dr. Jerry Graham and Luke Graham.

[Alecal89]

Funny thing, in twenty years people will watch clips of todays wrestling will miss the good old days of cena and orto. Andre the giant rules, he defines iconic and legend.

[beyondonethousand]

@Alecal89

Here, here

[JeffTheFutureJaros]

Andre seemed to be at least a twelve pack deep at this point, LOL

[MegaCrazyRobot]

R.I.P. Gordon, Andre, and Missy Hyatt's good looks.

[AmericanPride1234]

wow Andre sure looked great but in his case losing the weight was actually bad for him. Sad and sucks

[TheMadStork83]

The TRUE Living Legend of Professional Wrestling: Mr. Bruno Sammartino.

[fjccommish]

@TheMadStork83 The true living legend is Larry Zbyszko. Unless you want a visit from his ninja, you better stop saying Bruno is the true living legend.

[TheMadStork83]

@fjccommish ninjas are outdated and no one is afraid of a ninja anymore.

[iseeredpeoples]

teddy long does not age

[Xiphos798]

@carl22069 my, you are a jaded fellow.

[leck3o]

boy mantuar  was great

[hallnoats4ever]

last? looks like the first

[Geo95dude]

Is that Jim Ross at 2:30???????

[guitarhero626]

@Geo95dude Yes that is Jim Ross pre Bell's Palsy

[BigD123945]

@carl22069 thanks Carl me too I watch colosseum wwf tapes , and awa and uwf on espn classic. Tna has a chance to bring back the good ol' days in 5 yrs if they play thier cards right.

[jessicacook23]

omg look at teddy long so differnt form him now

mat all the wrestlers that are in this are died

[MeThinks995]

@jessicacook23 Nooo their not

[opencurtin]

So 7 , 7.4 he was still a huge man .

[suckupmc]

Thunderbolt Patterson - 4:25. No one could hold him in a headlock. Cool and smooth.

[scandlabra]

Check it out: at 4:28 Andre asks Gordon "Who is that?" (talking about Thunderbolt Patterson) and Gordon cracks up.

[owaisinus]

why hasn't bruno sammartino been inducted into the hall of fame, he's the longest reigning WWE champion in history for god sake... I heard something happened between him and Vince...

[mosleyfin32]

@owaisinus he's upset because he wasn't one of the few people inducted. He has refused induction ever since

[Rizza2k4]

@mosleyfin32 He's upset because of the product that WWE has going. He states that if it goes back to WRESTLING and not ENTERTAINING he'll accept induction into the Hall of Fame (plus, he really dislikes McMahon)

[mosleyfin32]

@Rizza2k4 To be honest, I could care less if he ever gets in. I know he's a legend and has had the longest WWF title reign, but nowadays he just comes off as a bitter old man. If he would do stuff, like patch things up with his son, who he doesn't talk to anymore, I'd respect him a little ,regardless of his feelings to WWE and McMahon.

[mkl62]

@owaisinus Bruno didn't like the direction that the WWE was going. The same thing goes with Larry Zybysko. Both of them hate Vince.

[AngeLBarraganJR]

Ah man I wished I had cable in 92.

[KibotVejn]

@carl22069  damn right

[landinmycourt]

Funny, Bruno says thank god for WCW. Only he knew what was to come a couple years later.

[WestCoastSoulja]

Andre was gonna go to WCW if his condition had gotten better

[nutballgazette]

I miss the old Georgia and Florida Wrestling with the late Gordon Sollie and all the old NWA/WCW stars. They would come to small Local Gyms and auditoriums They were so much fun. One time a group of us saw Dory Funk Jr (Booo) vs Dusty Rhodes (Hooray) in Melbourne FL. Our Group were the only ones to root for Funk. We even had Funk and Rhodes give us a Thumbs up because they knew we got it. Back in those days it was always good guy vs Bad

Guy.

[Sweetguy9009]

Man, I respect and love Andre but he looked horrible. Rest in Peace Andre.

[pdeaky]

I remember they used to BILL Hogan's height at 6'7" then around the mid to late 90s they started BILLING him at 6'8"?

Maybe he got thicker soles on his boots?LOL

[pdeaky]

Yeh that's what I thought then him and Gordon laughing about it - Awsome!

[pdeaky]

I totally agree with you well said! Nothing much after 1998 interests me at all with any promotion!

WCW should have stuck to proper classic wrestling and been an alternative to the WWE crap of today!

[pdeaky]

Not so Giant??? The guy is sat on a bench and is still taller than them all !

Anyway this is great Andre looks like he was having a fun time. Good to see!

[lovham89]

1:02 whats the name and the song name that is great

[drunkensailor112]

it doesn't get better than bruno sammartino bashing wwf lol

[AgeOfOrton316]

Missy Hyatt is fucken hott

[TheChadHatter1]

Be funny if that guy in the yellow sports jacket introduced him and said as he started to cry "And I'm gonna die!"

[steburton]

I like what Bruno Samartino said about the WWF at 3:16. He realized that at that time about how aweful WWF was becoming.

[JoeDawgJC]

Well Austin 3:16 said I just whopped your ass!

[kingpinofcrime]

Not so giant ? wow what a troll

[MSH786]

Andre was NOT 7 feet 4 inches tall! He was probably just under 7 feet!

[PunisherSlayer]

You have to realize something I am not saying that he was 7'4 because wrestlers heights were exaggerated however I do know that he outweighed Khali and Big Show at points in his career. For you to say that he was not so Giant is rediculous... What about the time Mean Gene took off Andre's ring and put three of his fingers in a single ring... thats not Giant enough for you??? Also do you know realize a man with spinal problems would probably lean over a bit and not be able to stand straight.

[steburton]

I've got news for you....even Ernie Ladd said that Andre was well over 7 feet.

[kingpinofcrime]

fazed . Andre gets up slaps Blackjack in the face , and throws him onto the balcony . Blackjack was a bigger tougher man than Cena and he couldnt do anything to Andre . Wrestlers back then where alot rougher and tougher than they are now .

[kingpinofcrime]

Barry Darsow ( Smash from demolition) in recent years told a story of how Andre and Blackjack mulligan where both sitting in a hotel room and Blackjack told himself over and over while looking at Andre : " I know i am tougher than you i know i can beat you . So eventually blackjack gets up walks over to Andre who is laying on his bed , and Blackjack punches him in the face as hard as he can . Andre response ? woof why did you do that ? , And blackjack was shocked as hell that Andre didnt seem

[kingpinofcrime]

Andre was a man who if he didnt like somebody would work stiff . If he didnt like Cena he would have sandbagged him instead of letting him slam him . And he would beat the crap out of Cena . Wrestler back then worked very stiff all the time . Hulk Hogan ( A bigger and Probably stronger man than Cena ) , told stories of how he used to pull his car to the side of the road got out and puked in fear because he had to face Andre that night . He told how Andre would beat the crap out of him .

[PunisherSlayer]

And by the way Cena is an overhyped pussy!

 Punisher.

[kingpinofcrime]

Andre would have stomped Cena if Andre didn like him .

[PunisherSlayer]

Exactly thanks again sir. Punisher.

[baycitygym546]

Wow RIP Gordon and Andre awesome people

[sxwrulz]

Bob Armstrong is a legend esepcially in the area that I live in and his family is overlooked as one of the greats. WWF HOF should have Bob Armstrong in it.

[sanstitle]

Bruno reading from a script or cue cards?

[wesvance]

Bruno is an idiot...always tries to jab at Vince any chance he gets. Classless moron!

[MSH786]

He's just telling the truth! You can't knock him or that!

[thunderstruck665]

Very sad to see Andre in that shape.

[thierry14istheman]

Thats theodore long interviewing right?

[oldschoolfan82]

yep.

[MSH786]

yeah, teddy long used to be in wcw for many years as a manager, referee, and interviewer

[PunisherSlayer]

I agree wrestling today is trash and I bet Andre wouldn't be pleased.. I would have liked to see Cena try to take on Andre ha ha ha squash him like little bug. Punisher.

[MSH786]

i'm pretty sure cena would be able to pick up andre and yokozuna for that matter in the attitude adjustment because he does it to the big show all the time!

[PunisherSlayer]

Yeah if Andre would let him... and Show probably weighs less than Andre. Punisher.

[MSH786]

No, big show is taller and heavier than andre

[PunisherSlayer]

LOL... Whatever man ... Believe what you want bro... I know the truth and well you I don't know what you know... come down off the weed bro. Punisher.

[MSH786]

Apparently, you are the one smokin weed because you probably still think that wrestling is real. Plus you don't know the truth because they never actually wrestled against each other, but I'm pretty sure if it was part of the script, then John Cena would pick Andre up in the attitude adjustment!

[PunisherSlayer]

You know what really shocks me is your age.. I checked it out because your comments seemed like that of a child.. However I was shocked to learn that you were a year older than me... Wrestling real you ask??? No... but the pain is very real I would know. Punisher.

[MSH786]

How do MY comments seem like that of a child's? You're the one who sounds so fuckin juvenile, especially when you end every one of your comments with "Punisher"...hahaha...you fuckin idiot! By the way, of course I know that the pain and the injuries are real but the story lines and matches themselves are scripted, but regardless to all that, if John Cena can pick up the Big Show, the Great Khali, and Mark Henry, I'm pretty sure that he could've also picked up Andre (not so Giant)!

[ZLMFilms]

Join The Posse!

[NoiseMostBeautiful]

was there...it was awesome. I was very young, but I remember seeing many of the guys I'd only read about in books up to that point. You can beat classic wrestling.

[cashfire2003]

I know he couldn't wrestle anymore but it would've been great if Andre could've wrestled in WCW. That would've been neat.

[TNO73]

@cashfire2003 They would have found a way to screw up his gimmick too. WCW were NOT wrestling people in charge. I miss the territory days.

[Shadowghost3333]

@cashfire2003 him and vader would of been great to see at that time.

[Y2JROCKFAN]

The great difference that Andre had at the beginning of the vid to the middle.

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. An appearance of legends.

[Mowac]

The biggest slut in wrestling.

[carl478]

yea but maybe u wudnt stick it in her

Wow. Bruno Samartino. We was a REAL wrestler. When H
