Giant Baba , Andre The Giant vs The Land of Giants pt1

[magicfingers1366]

Andre was pretty ill at the time this match took place. You can see how much he slowed down over the years.

[Carlitonsp1]

I love how Andre's like: "What the hell is this?" and just throws the flowers into the audience.

[bigijo]

i like slow motion wrestling

[zwfantastic]

guys...come on. Even I couldn't watch this match and I am about as old school wrestling as they come...when things slow down this much...all of the imagination is gone

[flairfan101]

who is the Road Warrior wanna-be?

[Cz1990player]

sucks this match

[AndrewsOpinion15]

DREAM TAG TEAM MATCH ANDRE AND GIANT BABA VS SHOW AND KHALI VS KANE AND UNDERTAKER !!!!!!!!

[Cz1990player]

@AndrewsOpinion15 baba and andre never win for that match

[peterp21]

That ref really sells the size of these 4. Looks like he's about 4'6". People laugh at Baba but from what I have heard, aside from being a wrestling legend, he was an awesome promoter who treated his AJPW guys like 24 karat gold.

[TheFootballwolf]

@peterp21 Giant Baba was a bit of a joke in the ring but he is a damn good promoter though :)

[drunkensailor112]

@outbackdakota1 he didn't care, he lived what life he had to the fullest and enjoyed all he could. better than to hold back to grow 25 years older but miserable

[drunkensailor112]

baba was legit 6 foot 10 and andre is taller here. despite surgerys

[Derby14]

Wow...Andre was sure appreciative of those flowers the gal handed him prior to the match...

[rackem1919]

This is hilarious. The tall asian looks like he just came from Auschwitz.

[jhiggs17]

This is embarrassing... Is that spaghetti coming from each side of Baba's bird chest?

[rash718]

Isn't that Sabretooth?

[DuhIdiot1]

@outbackdakota1 So the fact that this vid and any number of other vids and pics show that Andre has a good two inches on Baba, plus the famous pic of Andre, Wilt, and Arnold showing that Chamberlain has at best two inches on Roussimoff...

All of that is explained by what? Andre wearing boots with 8" heels?

[hbk72777]

@DuhIdiot1 This all started because of Dave Meltzer. He claims he was measured at 6'10 at his death, what he fails to realize is you lose height every year after the age of 30. Andre also had back surgery, which decreased his size. Ask Billy Graham. a guy who lost 4 inches due to discs in his back compressing. Meltzer will never admit he's wrong.

[bigfloridapimp]

@hbk72777 where have you gotten this infomation that you lose height every year after 30? Because I would like to call bullshit on this.

[xrun187x]

@hbk72777 so giant gonzales and previous to 30 would of been like 9 feet ..

[misterprickly]

Andre & Baba vs Tyler Mane & Jeff "Butch" Bearden.

The Battle of the BIG MEN!

[sweeneysister]

@outbackdakota1 FINALLY someone who isn't afraid to tell the truth about Andrea-Long live The Heenan Family!!

[milnusthegnome]

All four of these men were massive. Look at how tall all four of them are. 7 foot....literally...just giants

[milnusthegnome]

@milnusthegnome huge

[Kokushi666]

I feel horrible for baba and andre. such incredible men with such a horrible disease. Baba looks terrible here, none the less though they both did incredible things in the wrestling world

[TeslaDRay]

@outbackdakota1

according to wiki,. baba was or was going on 52 here. though he looked terrible, he wasn't THAT old.

[TeslaDRay]

@outbackdakota1

no andre was at his tallest like at max 7 feet

[milnusthegnome]

@TeslaDRay Max 6'11" but yeah, basically 7 foot.

[DavidOAnal]

GIANT BABA LOOKED SO AKWARD!

[TheJDMVP]

is that KEVIN NASH?

[Phoenix7878]

Just F.Y.I........Andre was almost 43 here. In "Giant Years" that's about 86. There are very tall & large people that are perfectly normal & function fine. Then there are these Massive Giants born with a disease that if left untreated results in what you see hear with Andre. It's a progressing disease which literally makes the body grow non-stop. This man was in AGONY from bout '88-'93. The fact he was able to do what he did is INCREDIBLE! I feel sorry for him but he was ALWAYS ANDRE. RIP

[EGarrett01]

4:42-4:47, the non-connecting shots with total non-selling by Baba and the crowd booing. loooooool.

[Fathom315]

I'd laugh if in the middle of the match, the whole ring collapsed! XD

[SteelC1tyK1ng]

why do The Land of Giants look healthy? ususaly when u have giantism you always look like your in pain like the other two

[zackvanhalen]

@SteelC1tyK1ng They don't have giantism like Andre and Baba. Plus, Andre and Baba were pretty old by this point. Back when they were young, they didn't look like this.

[PeeboTyson]

@SteelC1tyK1ng They don't have giantism.

[TeslaDRay]

@SteelC1tyK1ng

na just baba and andre had giantism. the other guys were just tall.

[mccusker17]

Blake Beverly was never that tall!!! I believe its Jeff Bearden, also known as Giant Warrior

[mmbagomusic101]

tyler maine and mike enos (blake beverley) i think... am i right?

[gvader]

Correction: they are not muscular enough so maybe not

[gvader]

Wow is that Sting and the Ultimate Warrior when they were the Bladerunners? Old UWF!

[tem1020]

scyber12 Bullshit Bastard

[roylucier]

LOL... I've been waiting to see this match for a few years (I got it on tape somewhere at my house in Arizona), but I remember it got voted worst match of the year in 1990 by the Wrestling Observer.... god this is back.... won't see any hurancanranas here.

[flyingcumshot]

Giant babas nipples are almost on his stomach.

[Krudiss]

@ Guardian im aware of that, I was just answering Candys question

[gothsoul82]

who is the land of giants

[81carlos]

Check out Giant Baba vs Jack Brisco and Giant Baba vs Harley Race.You'll see Baba in his prime there. There's plenty of great Andre the Giant matches here also. Andre could barely stand here as the effects of his gigantism was taking it's toll on his bones. It was said that he was in excrutiating pain by the time of his death.

[81carlos]

[seaniekay]

this is why cruiserweight wrestling is so popular

[Chrisdrumz]

Ok,I KNOW Andre and Baba are legends,but this is AWFUL. Lol!

[LT9856]

@Chrisdrumz I hear ya...this is about as bad as it gets. Andre & Baba were about 10 to 15 years past there prime here. Such a shame, becausue in there youth they both put on a great show.

[screamingdean5]

That Baba guy has such skinny arms

[extreme65anime]

@screamingdean5 I said the same thing when I saw him

[Krudiss]

@ Young candy do you mean Tyler Mane?

[hellguardian11]

@Krudiss nah,Tyler Mane wasnt into wrestling at this time

[JonAntonyEsposito]

I believe 1 of them is Giant Warrior!!! Thank you for posting this match!!!

[geoff101001]

@YoungCandy2nd ones name is nitro and i cant remember the other one. but one played sabertooth in the first xmen and Michael Myers in the rob zombie Halloween movies!

[zackvanhalen]

@Animallover90210 and tits...

[cbfoo502]

Kenny Powers?

[ial35]

yo no conosi a estos luchadores en su tiempo !!!

[JMFabianoRPL]

I love how Joe vs. the World podcasts ripped on the LotG for being named after a kiddie show or some such thing :-)

[ial35]

luchadores de la gran vieja escuela

[RevDarkehorse]

Baba doesn't look well, neither does Andre. Not a great match. They are barely touching one another. Baba and Andre shouldn't have been in there.

[kingpinofcrime]

\/ Ola fails hard

[XJadynX]

I wish I could of seen baba in his prime. In the vids I found he looks so old and his moves look like they wouldn't hurt a flea... yet he was and is pretty much a god in Japan. I would of love to seen him in his prime.

[KabukiPizza]

The only one who didn't suck in this match was the referee. Baba is HORRIBLE! The fan totally going insane for Baba's crappy leg trip takedown was funny though.

[geoff101001]

andre was atleast 2 inches taller then mane you can tell at 5:00 when hes behind him hes nto even standing straight up and is the same height!

[XJadynX]

Not to mention just sheer size. They might have the height but just look at the over all size of Andre. Even in his pain filled condition. HE was the boss in the ring. If you watch closely you'll see Andre is being extra rough with these 2. He doesn't like them... and Andre was NOTORIOUS for just beating on guys in the ring he didn't like such as John Studd and even Hogan for awhile

[xismxist]

@geoff101001 Andre was billed 6'10 in france before he came to wwf so he was not taller than that, i think his height was 6'9 barefoot

[noriyasudaze]

リングが小さく見える

[hojorocks3]

who are the land of giants?

[geoff101001]

one of them is the guy who played michael myers in the new halloween movies!

[criceto]

A very bad movies

[Rebelgod2k]

I dthis was andre back in the day he would have shown his actual hight. I believe it to actually be 7'2"

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Gigantic match indeed. Baba got skills. Time for Part 2.

[brentr82]

kevin nash

[geoff101001]

hes a 7 footer

[pericletos]

andre the giant was 6.11 in this mach

2 inches taller than 6.9 mane

[h88kaiser]

Una verdadera joya esta lucha, no por su calidad, pero si por los personajes que intervienen en ella.

[geoff101001]

who are those other two guys they must be close to 7 feet tall

[h88kaiser]

Los otros 2 son Nitron y Giant Warrior

[JMFabianoRPL]

@geoff101001 I think one is Nitron, aka Tyler Mane who was Sabertooth in X-Men.

[zackvanhalen]

What a rare match.
