@TheTylerBeast1 hulk hogan did take steriods he admited to it but Mr double killer is right cause Batista took steroids to and he could barely lift a 300 pound guy
@SJMJ91 Actually Hulk wasnt the first person to slam Andre.put this in the search box: ''The Improved Tribute to the men who have bodyslammed Andre the Giant!'' Andre was slammed first time in Japan in 1972
Listen to that pop at 7:52 when Hogan finally gets Andre off his feet. Back when working was an art, it was the little things like this that could bring people to their feet. Now workers today are more worried about how many moves they can do in a match, or risking their lives with stupid stunts.
at 7:07 you can hear Andre yelling "Slam!" to Hulk. On an interview on The Voice VS, Hulk said that Andre yelled that a couple times at him, and I'm pretty sure this is one of the two places where Andre calls a shot...
I still haven't forgiven the WWF...excuse me, WWE for not showing this in Michigan. I understand them wanting to fill the seats of the Silverdome, but the rest of us were screwed. We missed out on some real history. Thanks, Vince. :-/
@AdreasTheGreat Warrior probably slammed him at his heaviest because he slammed him (I think in England?) around 88 or 89. Andre was as big then if not bigger plus clearly not as agile.
I love the convenient ignoring of the count out rule. Joey Morella was only up to 4 when Hogan had been on the floor for 10 seconds already. Then they were on the floor for a total of 45 seconds, but Morella had apparently re-started the count because he was only at 6 when they got back in the ring. And there were people who thought this was real?
I remember Hogan talking about the slam (I think it was on the Tonight Show.) He said they weren't going to do the slam cuz of Andre's health, but during the match Andre told him to do it. Hogan said he ripped out the entire right side of his back muscle doing it, and to this day that side of his back muscle is smaller than the left side. Legendary match.
this was the night that andre the giant passed the torch to hulk hogan and hogan ran all the way to greatness with that torch by wrestling some of the greatest wrestlers of all time the body slam that hulk hogan gives to andre the giant will echo throughout time and forever be a big part of wrestling history but in my opinion i think this might be andre's finest moment in wrestling even though he lost the match but the savage vs steamboat match stold the show at wrestlemaina 3
@AdreasTheGreat Andre had been slammed numerous times before. Harley Race and even Hulk Hogan had slammed him before this event. (There are a few others but I dont know off the top of my head, thinking Stan hansen and maybe Ernie Ladd) I think the only 2 things that make this stand out is 1)Its rumored that Andre was at his heaviest at this time (with wrestling weights we truly dont know for sure) and 2) It was on the biggest stage and event of all.
@AxlAnderson u are right warrior and also slammed him but was much lighter(maybe 80lb) and better shape then but none slammed him when was so heavy and big.andre wasn't only big but had unbelievable nature power. i remember a match vs king kong(460lb billed weight) and lift him and through him in the cage like a little child and of course cage collapse!i watch wrestling about 25 years live and i never saw so strong guy like andre.
Regarding ALL the controversy about wrestling being "fake," WHO CARES?! It's called ENTERTAINMENT or ESCAPISM! In my opinion, what you see in the WRESTLING RING is NO DIFFERENT than what you see in the MOVIES. Are the DINOSAURS in the Jurassic Park series "real"-or "fake?" Is the SHARK used in the Jaws series "real"-or "fake?" Are the "FIGHT" scenes in martial arts and action/adventure movies "real"-or "fake?" Are VEHICLE "CRASHES" in the movies or on T.V. "real"-or "fake?"
@AngelofAnguish the moves and blows in pro wrestling are usually real! you're wrong! inmovies people don't hurt each other intentionally but in wrestling many do!
@AngelofAnguish True. However there was a time when it was claimed that wrestling was real. This is no longer the case so the controversy should now be long gone.
@AngelofAnguish plus the shit that they do still hurts, read any wrestlers book and they talk about how wrestling is looked at as fake, but the pain and injury they endure is 100% real...when someone jumps off a ladder through a table, thats fake? how is that fake he just jumped from 20 feet through a table and smacked the ground, that is not fake.....and for anyone who thinks it is, watch Mankind vs Undertaker hell in the cell and tell me its fake, or hardy boyz vs edge/christian vs dudley boyz
@AngelofAnguish what you see in a wrestling ring is different than what you see in movies lol just because its scripted does'nt mean the moves don't hurt, in most moves they do actually hit each other but just not too their full strength or power.
It just shows what a guy andre was - the pain he was in and the fact that he dropped the title to hogan - no ego whatsoever not like hogan - R.I.P big man a true wrestling legend!
@glasgowbhoy1980 Andre wasn't the champ but I get your point. Like Vince always said "nobody was going to make Andre do something he didn't want to do"
Andre was still in pretty good shape at this point, minus the back problems..Good to see him when he was at the top. I mean, I put on about 20-25 pounds over the last few years and my back isn't quite the same, I can only imagine what a man his size went through.
If this PPV happen today what would people think of it? I mean for the moment when this happen it was monumental bigger the anything else. I just wonder how a match w/ this build up and match would fair today....
@evxdaddy alot better then most matches today i would think so far recently the only 2 matches that had a lot of hype and actually lived up to the hype was both Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels matches at Wrestlemania 25 and 26 other than that they rarely bother to build up matches
@GTAmissions1011 Andre the Giant is not Big Show's (Paul White) father. Paul White was discovered by Terry Bolea (Hulk Hogan) during the early '90's at WCW's PowerPlant.
the wrestling in this match is so terrible but when hogan hulks up the crowd pops louder than any crowd in the history of wrestling for about 5 minutes straight at least! This is what mcmahon is trying to get back to
Jesse says "don't let this end in a count out" as they are on the floor at 6:29. They get back in at 7:35. That is a long 10 count by the ref. The Count from Sesame Street must have been going crazy watching it at home. I've counted to 10, 6 times, ah ah ah ah.
u cant call urself a true fan of this sport if you havent seen this match. this is one of the greastest matches in the history of professional wrestling
@jeffhardyRATM360 yes but this is classic and great proffesional wrestling. this is worth every penny for a ticket or ppv on tv. this is wen wrestling meant something up to about 2008
"We're seeing what this guy is really made of, what he is: the greatest professional athelete in the world today - LOOK AT THIS!" Then the most memorable moment in wrestling history (in the ring) happened!
Well khali could maybe do it since hes 400 lbs and not 500 like big show, but still khali isnt near as strong as he looks since he roided out the ass. So no Khali could not. Also because khali is a fucking klutzz and botches every move he does. Hes not coordinated enough. If he tried to dead lift andre and then when turning him over, he would drop andre on his head and kill him, yes he can half do the move but not the full body slam. Plus andre would be dead.
@MichaelMyers87 you say khali is could not do it because hes roided but you seem to forget how roided hogan was and still is i saw a vid of him be4 roids and the guy was un believably skinny, like a 14 year old kid, but iguess hogan is your childhood hero anyway
I mean in the wwf/wwe anyways. Well yes there is one other person, Mark Henry in his prime level of strength. Big Show coudnt because he himself is too heavy. He has to hold his own weight up while lifting up 525 lbs of dead weight which supports itself once up top with one arm and not 2, leaving show to lift his own body and andres. Big Show would flat out drop andre and get crushed. Same with Great Khali, hes too heavy.
But yea Warrior had nothing on Hogan in terms of brute strength back then. But yea it was so hard for hogan to dead lift slam andre that he has back problems because of it and had to get surgery that also made him like half an inch shorter or so. Hogan might be the only person who could have ever dead lifted and slammed someone like andre when they were only barely supporting themselves on the lifters legs.
And it was so hard for hogan to do that yes he has a hole in his back muscles because of it. That is what hogan had to accomplish in order for andre to job to him.
When Warrior slammed andre he jump up into the slam and then when warrior would be turning him over andre would use both his arms to hold himself up since warrior COULD NOT by himself without andre help, otherwise hed have been killed by andre crashing down on him. Hogan however picked andre up without andre jumping, and andre barely supported himself.
Ultimate Warrior would have broke his back trying to dead lift andre for a body slam. But Hogan did in this match. Andre told Hogan the only way hed job to him is if hogan could slam him without andre jumping up a bit into the slam. And andre didnt even really support himself on hogans legs. He was supposed to use both arms on hogans legs when hogan had him up, but andre coudnt get one around so andre had to try to hold his girth up with one arm which he coudnt do.
s slamming andre when he dont jump up a bit and not make his opponont actually have to lift 525 lbs of dead weight off of the ground which already takes all their might, and then when their about to fall down from botching the move, and turn that 525 dead weight upside to drop it.
Only way warrior could slam the Andre was as long as andre helped out by jumping and putting his arms/weight on his oponents legs when he was going upside down. I seen a clip of Ultimate Warrior slamming him just now, but andre basicaly JUMPED up and Warrior didnt even lift him off the ground and Andre was the one holding HIMSELF up with his arms on warriors
"Ultimate Warrior slammed Andre way easier than Hogan did. But Hogan has a hole in his back muscles from this slam"
Ultimate Warrior wasnt stronger then Hogan, maybe close, but Hogan always had 25 lbs on him at least and wasnt as roided up in the 80s/early 90s as warrior was.
Ultimate Warrior slammed Andre way easier than Hogan did. But Hogan has a hole in his back muscles from this slam. The roaring of the crowd was so monstrously loud, that the mics violently distorted.
the only reason this is one of the best matchs of all time its because of the body slam take the slam out then it is just in ordernary match forgive for my spelling
Andre needed back surgery, he was in so much pain, but he still did this match for Hogan. Hogan talks about it all the time in any of his interview's about Andre.
@wrestledon: Who the fuck cares about your views or opinions? Andre was at the end of his run in the wrestling business, and other superstars were trying to rise to the top. And Warrior was not in the WWE for a year, it was for 4 1/2 years. Andre's health was declining because of his acromegaly, as I have read other people's comments about him. So don't bother enlightening me with your philosophy, history, etc. about wrestling asswipe!
I remember watching this ppv when I was a kid in '87. AFfer his feud with Hogan, Andre had a short feud with the Intercontinental champion the Ultimate Warrior. Warrior's the second person to body slam Andre after Hogan.
u obviously dont know so let me enlighten u warrior did not care about anyone or anything apart from himself he does not care 4 the wrestling business he does not have any respect 4 the wrestling business he was in it 4 himself 4 the $ he who the hell gets in 2 the wrestling business 4 about a year and tries 2 embarrass andre the giant who built a legacy of 16 years warrior is a upright selfish basterd
No, when Hulk left the WWF, Stone Cold needed to shine some light, but it wasn't him that shone that light. See without Andre there wouldn't be Warrior,Savage Hogan. Without Taker there wouldn't be a Stone Cold or Rock
Monsoon and Ventura were the best broadcast team the WWF ever had. They called matches realistically. When Ventura said "If Hogan doesnt get out of the predictiment right now we're gonna see a new champion." Monsoon replied "You got that right." If Ventura was calling the match with McMahon, he would've said something like "I dont know about that" and continued calling the match as if Ventura wasnt even there.

@MichaelMyers87 you say khali is could not do it because hes roided but you seem to forget how roided hogan was and still is i saw a vid of him be4 roids and the guy was un believably skinny, like a 14 year old kid, but iguess hogan is your childhood hero anyway

I mean in the wwf/wwe anyways. Well yes there is one other person, Mark Henry in his prime level of strength. Big Show coudnt because he himself is too heavy. He has to hold his own weight up while lifting up 525 lbs of dead weight which supports itself once up top with one arm and not 2, leaving show to lift his own body and andres. Big Show would flat out drop andre and get crushed. Same with Great Khali, hes too heavy.

But yea Warrior had nothing on Hogan in terms of brute strength back then. But yea it was so hard for hogan to dead lift slam andre that he has back problems because of it and had to get surgery that also made him like half an inch shorter or so. Hogan might be the only person who could have ever dead lifted and slammed someone like andre when they were only barely supporting themselves on the lifters legs.
MichaelMyers87 1 year ago
And it was so hard for hogan to do that yes he has a hole in his back muscles because of it. That is what hogan had to accomplish in order for andre to job to him.

When Warrior slammed andre he jump up into the slam and then when warrior would be turning him over andre would use both his arms to hold himself up since warrior COULD NOT by himself without andre help, otherwise hed have been killed by andre crashing down on him. Hogan however picked andre up without andre jumping, and andre barely supported himself.

Ultimate Warrior would have broke his back trying to dead lift andre for a body slam. But Hogan did in this match. Andre told Hogan the only way hed job to him is if hogan could slam him without andre jumping up a bit into the slam. And andre didnt even really support himself on hogans legs. He was supposed to use both arms on hogans legs when hogan had him up, but andre coudnt get one around so andre had to try to hold his girth up with one arm which he coudnt do.

Hard part
s slamming andre when he dont jump up a bit and not make his opponont actually have to lift 525 lbs of dead weight off of the ground which already takes all their might, and then when their about to fall down from botching the move, and turn that 525 dead weight upside to drop it.
MichaelMyers87 1 year ago
Most the work was done by andre himself when warrior would slam him. Once Andre was in the air, all warrior had to do was put him down.
MichaelMyers87 1 year ago
Only way warrior could slam the Andre was as long as andre helped out by jumping and putting his arms/weight on his oponents legs when he was going upside down. I seen a clip of Ultimate Warrior slamming him just now, but andre basicaly JUMPED up and Warrior didnt even lift him off the ground and Andre was the one holding HIMSELF up with his arms on warriors
legs.

"Ultimate Warrior slammed Andre way easier than Hogan did. But Hogan has a hole in his back muscles from this slam"
Ultimate Warrior wasnt stronger then Hogan, maybe close, but Hogan always had 25 lbs on him at least and wasnt as roided up in the 80s/early 90s as warrior was.

Ultimate Warrior slammed Andre way easier than Hogan did. But Hogan has a hole in his back muscles from this slam. The roaring of the crowd was so monstrously loud, that the mics violently distorted.

Andre needed back surgery, he was in so much pain, but he still did this match for Hogan. Hogan talks about it all the time in any of his interview's about Andre.

@wrestledon: Who the fuck cares about your views or opinions? Andre was at the end of his run in the wrestling business, and other superstars were trying to rise to the top. And Warrior was not in the WWE for a year, it was for 4 1/2 years. Andre's health was declining because of his acromegaly, as I have read other people's comments about him. So don't bother enlightening me with your philosophy, history, etc. about wrestling asswipe!

I remember watching this ppv when I was a kid in '87. AFfer his feud with Hogan, Andre had a short feud with the Intercontinental champion the Ultimate Warrior. Warrior's the second person to body slam Andre after Hogan.
Alcairo02 2 years ago
u obviously dont know so let me enlighten u warrior did not care about anyone or anything apart from himself he does not care 4 the wrestling business he does not have any respect 4 the wrestling business he was in it 4 himself 4 the $ he who the hell gets in 2 the wrestling business 4 about a year and tries 2 embarrass andre the giant who built a legacy of 16 years warrior is a upright selfish basterd

No, when Hulk left the WWF, Stone Cold needed to shine some light, but it wasn't him that shone that light. See without Andre there wouldn't be Warrior,Savage Hogan. Without Taker there wouldn't be a Stone Cold or Rock

Monsoon and Ventura were the best broadcast team the WWF ever had. They called matches realistically. When Ventura said "If Hogan doesnt get out of the predictiment right now we're gonna see a new champion." Monsoon replied "You got that right." If Ventura was calling the match with McMahon, he would've said something like "I dont know about that" and continued calling the match as if Ventura wasnt even there.

I always thought Monsoon and Heenan were the best duo, personally.
