In Memory: Andre The Giant

[seattlehawkins]

His dick was the diameter of a Pringles can!

[MrCodeerror]

The start of the video made me cry, i miss andre : (

[wrestlingnewsdesk]

@MrCodeerror thanks it sad andre passed on

[Lovemyselfidoes81]

Can somebody tell me where that interview was from at 3:42

[wrestlingnewsdesk]

@TheLiverpolitan not sure that was the actuall wwf tribute video to andre .. if anyone knows let us know

[RisingSon011]

@MRODhustler2 people with the condition ( acromegaly ) that Andre suffered with rarely live to see 40 . He lived longer than most doctors thought he would though .

[Recon210akaElliot]

he had a disica that made him taller and taller and he diad but big show had it but he got the sugure but back then they didint hade it R.I.P andre the giant

[wrestlingnewsdesk]

@MRODhustler2 oh ok not a long time wrest;ing fan then ive been since 1989 anyway check my youtube videos to famiiarise urself with the old days some catch up and tributes i made.

[wrestlingnewsdesk]

@MRODhustler2 1993 man where u been at

[Eskara0]

We all can learn a lesson from Andre; which is enjoy your life while you have it because you never know when it will be cut short. Andre knew his life wasn't going to last long but that never mattered because he enjoyed every bit of it.

[ObeyPeaceGuard47]

respect for him i wear allot of obey shirts aha

[swsanders]

Andre was a tremendous talent especially in his youth when he could move, he could do moves that most big men couldn't and he will be missed. With that said horrible video, absolutely garbage video. The music was wrong (if you knew anything about andre you would have used happy not sad music) the images, and video clips were ok but it was too long, bad music. bad video Andre deserved a better tribute video.

[BblockB3]

[funksta818]

R.I.P. Andre

[Vium2912]

jarcar01 -> He died only a while after the fight with Hulk due to a back injury

[buzzfuzz27]

@Vium2912

Andre died in 1993 after he attended his father funeral.He died in his sleep,he was a very friendly giant with a big heart.

We miss u Andre R I P

[Eamescity1988]

actually he died in 1993 of an enlarged heart due to his condition that made him the size he is

[csy30076]

Andre The Giant will be missed by the whole wwe fans he's a legond one of the best matches in the wwf was when fought hulk holgan and the ultimint warror  rip Andre The Giant

[djcRamone]

Awesome video. Although the one change I would make is instead of showing Hogan slam and pin Andre at WM3, you should show when Andre got the three count on Hogan early on in that match.

[wrestlingnewsdesk]

yeah sorry jarcar maybe your absolutely rite

[jarcar101]

why did you have to show his lowest moment in the tribute.. its supposed to be about Andrea.. not Hulk

[funksta818]

i don't think that that was his lowest moment, hogan was way more appreciative that andre let him slam him, then warrior who was, who didn't even care about the honor he was given

[Paperbagman555]

He died in the year i was born :0

[Daisymaniac129]

You're right, he was born in 1946

[Daisymaniac129]

He was not only a giant, but a giant with a heart...I miss him :( (He was born in the same year as Freddie Mercury, and live 2 years longer...

[kaylaaisyurhottsex]

sad...............

[DStheRSPS]

wrestling is the most fake sport there is.

[Vladimast]

@DStheRSPS

Thank you fro clearing that up

[Daisymaniac129]

Well, even in this sport, every hit Andre took would eventually take a horrible toll on his body. With tall people like that, their bones are weak and their hearts aren't big enough to pump through their massive bodies, which eventually affects them fatally.

[kabfik]

@Daisymaniac129 you don't know what the heck you are talking about, Andre the Giant had massive bones and ligaments he was built like a tank, he hurt people, and piercing through his thick body armor, wrestlers would get hurt trying to hit him, his body took a toll on him, as well as being a Giant.

[Kulmataklaus]

It's very natural person of this size dies younger than others. There are very logical reasons for it, not just steroids or immense stress from workout/wrestling.

Rip man. You were great.

[GodofEverything46239]

he live ALMOST 20 years more year than doctor

[mrfelox1]

booo andre

[arridian]

There was only one Andre.

[lauratrivini]

:'( sniff

[supersonic123123]

i was like andre 3000 isnt dead but it was someone else

[wrestlingnewsdesk]

the song in the video is called the sunshne suite by patty carlson

[Dumbblonde108]

He was an incredible wrestler, amazing artist, and terrific actor! The world is a little less bright now that someone sooooo special has left us, but he's in a better place with God in heaven! RIP Andre the Giant!

[ImADivaX13]

is heart was to weak. andre had this gland by his ear that made him as big as he was. he had a choice to take it out but he didn't because his height made him what he was and he wanted be remembered by that. As Andre The Giant

[almnazl1]

i love you andre the gaint thank you الله يرحمك يا بطل الأبطال

[sk8terboi315]

how did andre the giant die?

[megjp614]

he had a disease that made him as big as he was. I guess his heart wasn't big enough to support his body and he died in his sleep. He wasn't supposed to live as long as he did so that is good that he lived longer than doctors expected.

[GodofEverything46239]

almost 20 years

[bibi5027]

@megjp614 I think his heart was big,and hence he died

[meanmaddness]

A disease called acromegaly (Giantism). The pituitary gland produces an excess of growth hormornes, causing massive body enlargement. Believe it or not, Abraham Lincoln had the same disease. He would have died anyway if JWB hadn't shot him.

[marget1017]

giantitus

[geromaster]

is the big show really his son if he is then tha make big show part france

[addicted2rune]

[guitarpaol]

hulk hogan heigth??please

[P0PTarTNick]

6'7 or something close to that

[zertina]

more or less grew up with the 80's stars, wrestling was different then, it will alway be the time when it was at its most popular, stars like Andre made this happen. Tnx for the memories Boss.

[kimvaterra]

Wrestling from this era holds a special place in GenX hearts. As much as we say UFC is what wrestling should be and so on, as a kid growing up in the late 70's and 80's, you can't say you weren't giddy to watch guys like Andre, Hulk, Iron Sheik, Ricky, Von Ericks, Four Horsemen, Junk Yard Dog, etc. On the eve of wrestle mania 25, I had to look back on some of the vintage clips of a bygone era. I came upon WM 18, and I was so excited to watch the Rock and HHK and reflect on yesteryear.

[wweguy1549]

RIP andre we miss u

[superseacy]

brillant man

[Deadmike007]

Great vid man thanks for taking the time.

If you all want a great aspect of how people viewed Andre, watch the actors outakes from "The Princess Bride" dvd. The commentary was taken after his death and the actors and actresses tell about their time with him.

[DaClown21]

Legend!!!!

[xxxzetsuxxx]

hey how did he die?

[shakezula29]

heart attack

[refici222]

awesome video

[Mintsauce27]

Sure Josie, Sure,Sure! lol

[Niggeagle]

mAN i HOPE TO SEE HIM IN HEAVEN!!!

[peterpulpitpounder]

If he knew Christ, or rather, trusted in Christ, you will see him in heaven. See John 14:6.

[Lovemyselfidoes81]

@peterpulpitpounder Fuck off with your Religious Propaganda

[peterpulpitpounder]

@Lovemyselfidoes8

The truth hurts.

[Lovemyselfidoes81]

@peterpulpitpounder Yeah and Religion Kills Millions of people each year

[bjracing84]

[aarster123]

[scarboy82]

[bernhardtsen74]

He had a disease as a boy!

His heart also grew too large so it coulndt beat normally!

[1498chipmunks]

[1498chipmunks]

aw sniff some

[1498chipmunks]

I SNIFF SNIFF I..... tears

[wrestlingnewsdesk]

i'm sure wwe is trying to put the big show in andre shoes as they both wear that black outfit.

[wrestlingnewsdesk]

yes shame he is gone...

[AndreTheGiant4EVER]

This truly makes me sad everytime i see this, with this beautiful music, etc.

Can't believe how much i miss this big man. There will never be another Andre!!!

[AndreTheGiant4EVER]

A legend that will never be forgotten.

He was LARGER than life!!!

R.I.P Eighth Wonder of The World!!!

[AndreTheGiant4EVER]

U R 4EVER ANDRE!!!!

[AndreTheGiant4EVER]

Andre was the best wrestler ever. Much better than any wrestler alive today. I remember watching him when i was young when he used to battled Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, Jake Roberts and others, and he used to amazed me with his strength, power, dominance, etc.

When i found out about his death in 93, i was shocked and sad.

R.I.P Andre, missin you 4EVER!!!

[jac01970]

I think wrestling today is nothing more than a glamor soap opra, wrestling was alot better in the 70's and 80's. I think they can do better without the sardine factory of divas. Vince you need to go back to your roots. Your father Vince sr. would'nt ever took wrestling this way. Shame on you Vince jr.

[coolibe]

true and theres only 10 wrestlers now, its fucking repetitive

[AmericanPride1234]

I bet Andre is Looking down from the Heavens above in Disguse for what Wrestling is now nothing but a porn soap operas.

[chuckmanofgod]

I agree with that, even though wrestling was mostly fake and for entertainment, it has gotten worse nowadays because of the soap opera style that it is in.

[Brunswika]

rest in peache BIG man!!!!!!!!

[luckychucky777]

Andre did alot for the WWF, but at the end the WWF shunned him. When Andre died McMahon refused to acknowledge it..I was at RAW and these 3 guys kept chanting ANDRE, ANDRE, ANDRE..finally after 2 hours of this McMahon had Howard Finkel make an announcement and a moment of silence for Andre.. My brother was watching RAW on TV and said they never showed that part..totally disrespectful on WWF's part at that time you left WWF you didnt exist..glad they change that policy.

[Thulgore]

The saddest thing to me is that anyone who is as physically different and people like Andre are looked at first and foremost for their physical look that they neither asked for nor tried to attain. And yet that is all they are really judged upon. I wish these tributes would tell more the story of who they were. That's what I'd want upon my death and I'm sure it's what most of you would like upon yours.

[muziekfreak1980]

André the Giant 520 lbs (236 kg) Lengte 7ft0 (213 cm)

Khali is 7'1''. ...

Now shoo..i got more important thing to do then to search for this facts on wikipedia en bio's of both gentlemen. Andre the giant was a big guy dont get me wrong. Its aKNOWN fact that he STOOD on orangecrates with interviews to give him a even more big look.

[kylebushey24]

[casauco]

Andre era tan grande como buena persona descanse en paz

[animeVsong]

r.i.p luved him i nthe robin hood movie =]

[flojoboy55555]

ande was one of the best wresler in wwf

[BIO90]

ande was one of the best wresler in wcw

[mr10tomidnight]

It makes me sick to my stomach hearing younger people talk shit that all Andre did was choke people,he was a fat slob that could barely walk and they wonder why Andre was a Hall of Famer.They haven't seen Andre early in his career when he could do it all.He really was awesome in his prime years.Why don't you people see him take on Hulk Hogan in Japan 83' when he ran after him AND CAUGHT HIM?OR HIS MATCH WITH MAD DOG VACHON WHEN HE ONLY WEIGHED AT 415 POUNDS!

[Telourio]

can anyone tell me when and how he died??

[chrisinsocalif]

André died in his sleep on January 27, 1993, in a Paris hotel room. He was in Paris to attend the funeral for his father.[11] It was later concluded that he died of congestive heart failure, a by-product of the growth hormone-secreting pituitary tumor he had much of his life and chose not to have treated.

[BIO90]

he was growing to much and it was a disease of growing to high or big

[muziekfreak1980]

Its simple, the biggere you are youre heart needs to do overtime..thats what happens to guys like him the dont get old.

[killgore09]

he died of ehart failure

[YACEDJE]

A lendary wrestler. RIP Andre.

[jwarwin2323]

andre was the best

[wrestlingnewsdesk]

i thought i add the wwe video as i liked the piano tune they used .

[NYPrimrose]

Would be nice without the already WWE completed tribute mixed in with yours.
