1991 UK RAMPAGE ANDRE THE GIANT THOUGHTS

[Dungarth]

..They had actually planned to make an Andre Vs Undertaker match in 1991 but by 1991 Andre could barely stand anymore let alone wrestle. Taker would have won the match for sure though as Vince would have wanted his new big monster to dethrone his old one.

[AndrewsOpinion15]

ANDRE THE GIANT VS UNDERTAKER WOULD BEEN GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrSinister718]

Anybody want a peanut?

[1974Qball]

@MrSinister718 hahaahahhahaha

[doodoodoll1]

aww hes lovely too bad he died :(

[1marka2]

He just seems so nice, i feel sad i never saw him wrestle :(

[Tubeman244]

at 0:16 it sounded like he said he was surveying his pants in France

[Jorge008]

@Tubeman244 hahhahhahhahhah  xD

[johnissoevil]

There's one thing I wish WWE had done in 1990 or 1991, after WrestleMania 6, they should've had it where Andre and Hogan patched up the kayfabe differences they had since 1987. Imagine Andre coming out to the Brother Love show to aid Hogan when Earthquake attacked him that one time.

[chikkmagneet]

he was a great actor :D

[RyanPelley1]

His sideburns were fucking disgusting.

[Lolp821]

Such a good quality video, thanks very much.

[Cincinnatus1869]

there have been very few men with Acromegaly or Gigantism who have lived to old age . I am not sure if any lived to be 65 except maybe Martin Van Buren Bates , who was actually quite a bit larger than Andre .If youve not heard of him look it up he led a fascinating life

[BomberMonkAssassin32]

If i'm not mistaken Andre was supposed to be an participant in the 1991 30 Man Royal Rumble match i think he was replaced due to a injury he suffered touring or vacationing in the orient if andre was alive today he would be 65 years old plus at the time of his death in january of 1993 his weight was between 530.lbs or 540.lbs....

[The420Eyebaal]

eye seen andre the giant a few times. WWF tapings seen all the Orig wrestlers many time. He was a very nice man.

[minimcgrady01]

did he say "THE ROCK" ???

[hulkhogantupaclover]

@minimcgrady01 yeah I think so... but the Rock made his debut in 96 i think

[coolsomeXD]

@minimcgrady01

He said the Rockers.

[michaeljackson1978]

I miss him

[LGLG69]

In 1991, Andre's health really started to deteriorate. Here he still close to 7 feet, and his weight in '91 was around 530 pounds.

[Cincinnatus1869]

people like to argue that Andre was 'only'7'1 and not 7'4 as he was billed . There were taller men for sure but what people dont understand about Andre was the breadth of his body,the width of his limbs and hands . Vince Mcmahon Sr , who saw ALOT of physically impressive dudes thru his life said he just was not prepared for the size /strengthof Andre when they met .' I never saw such a man ! " he said . . Ken Patera once said that if Andre had become a powerlifter , records would have fallen .

[MasterKanaar]

Did Mean Gene say "The Rock." @ 37 secs . This video predates "The Rock" who is he talking about??????

[marcoman2]

@MasterKanaar The Rockers AKA HBK Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannety.

[MasterKanaar]

@marcoman2 Thanks, I thought maybe someone else was called the rock in early wwf history

[Sydley]

@MasterKanaar - The Magnificent (Don) Muraco was also referred to as "The Rock" back in the day, but it is The Rockers who Gene is definitely referring to.

[a2ilool]

propbaly the greateset wrestler that ever lived suck on that cena kids

[Derek70388]

That's one BIG hand. Good god.

[Derek70388]

@TheSilverback2004 1991, he was 45.

[foodlovingpig]

Can you imagine sitting behind him at the movie theater?

[davylove21]

@TheSilverback2004 He died in 1993 aged 46, so he was between 43 and 45 in this video

[scvbtr2]

ANDRE WAS "THE MAN ".

[at1212b]

@scvbtr2

Seriously. I mean look at his 'Face' promo. So enthusiastic, and 'kiddish' almost.

compare when he does his Heel Promo... utter destruction coming down!!!

That is what you call SKILL on the mic and psychology.

[scvbtr2]

@at1212b well said.

[StephaneGrappelli]

May he rest in peace!

[POWEvents]

Andre was Darth Vader to Hogan's Luke Skywalker. Every bit as important to the brands popularity today.

[elchiclegum9]

@POWEvents well actually for him it was a long time because the doctors told him that he was going to die way younger than when he actually died ! so thats why

[TravisDrago]

if only andre could have gotton treatment it's so sad

[AlexDCl]

Nice sideburns.

[AndrewsOpinion15]

i wonder what wrestling wonder be like if andre the giant was still alive !!!

[howardtheman]

@AndrewsOpinion15 Andre The Giant vs.The Miz would've made for a good match or probably even a squash.

[thevoodoosailor]

@howardtheman

The Miz paid his dues in WWE so Andre would have given him an awesome match cos Andre respected people who paid there dues on wrestling.

[1980Triumph]

Its a shame, he was so sick, but he wanted to get back into the ring. Young wrestling fans don't understand the popularity of Andre, they look at his remaining years and don't understand that he had been ill for a long time.

[girlgarde]

@1980Triumph Yeah. Even back in 1987 when he was up against Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania 3, he was in rough shape, probably even BEFORE 1987, his health wasn't good.....

[kiltsonfire164]

@1980Triumph I would've like to see Andre feud with The Undertaker back in 1991.

[1980Triumph]

@kiltsonfire164

Dude that would of been awesome. I recently did a fantasy match thing and Andre vs Under was a pick of mine, it would of been epic.

[beers2257]

ive never seen this video, wow what a shame andre looked terrible, i guess this was about 2 years before his death, and i think he had swelled up to about 550 pounds, he looks like hes havin trouble breathing and just standing there ... damn shame... rip big man

[stndrds79]

damn, as much as I appreciate everyone posting wwf videos, nice to finally see a good quality video! almost like HD

[Infordust]

Andre looks really ill here:(

[stndrds79]

ya lol
