I consider myself a real wrestling fan... but I really have no clue why many ppl consider Andre a Legend... He was horrible in the ring and couldn`t cut an interview to save his life... Only thing he had going for him was he was terribly overweight and no one could lift him... I mean its pretty bad when your career defining moment is when someone actually lifts you up! Pathetic
@redranger1989 haha i feel the same way man i argue the same point you just made with people all the time people get angry with me when i say kevin nash was better than andre
Interesting that the Giant beat the (very patriotic) Hulk on February 5th, 1988 in Indianapolis, on NBC. Then on the same date of February 5th, 2012 in Indianapolis, on NBC- the Giants beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. Kinda neat how history repeats!
clearly hulk hogan was cheated out of the world heavyweight championship by andre the giant ted dibiase as well as the fake refree earl hebner that,s why i,m glad that jack tunney then w.w.f.president decleared the championship title vacant until a 14-man world title tourament could be held to decide the undisputed world heavy champion, which was the late macho man randy savage, hogan would take the title from randy savage 1 year later.
FUCKING POLITICIAN THAT HOGAN IS! I HEARD HE THREATENED TO LEAVE THE WWF IF THEY DID NOT MAKE THE WINGED EAGLE BELT! THAT'S WHY YOU SAW HIM CHANGE BELTS WHEN HE LEFT BACKSTAGE TO GO WRESTLE! NOTICE HOW HE HAS A DIFFERNET STYLE BELT BACKSTAGE! HOGAN YOU PRIMA DONNA PIECE OF SHIT! I FUCKING HATE YOU! I WANT TO HATE YOU FOR EVER COCKSUCKER!
Andre was the one and only person Vince wasn't allowed to 'get pissed' at for mistakes. Andre was Vince Sr.'s favorite and did several favors for Vince Jr. (i.e. Wrestlemania 3). Vince has often made it well known that Andre was tired and worn down and he had to beg Andre to come back, turn heel & face Hogan.
This match was watched and blew everyone away when it happen still remember this as a kid and hated hogan and we were all cheering when Andre beat Hogan we went crazy as kids great moment in wrestling history.
This was a pretty brilliant angle, and I have to say pretty traumatic for me as a young-teen Hulkamaniac at the time. It's amazing that the "imposter" wasn't seriously injured as Hogan threw him a bit past his target and DiBiase barely broke his fall. I'm trying to find the video of the post-match interview where Hogan's beside himself, not having much luck yet..
@Monchi2006 plastic surgery, lol. oh man this match fucked me up when i was a kid. me n friends at school couldnt believe it. lol. i never did get to watch "the main event", was this like a pay per view event? i think it did show on a friday.
No wrestler in the history of the game ever got louder, more extended pops than Hogan in his prime. This vid is proof, as his entire pre and post match was one continuous pop!
