Ultimate Warrior Slams Andre the Giant (Replay from the 9/30/89 MSG Show with better angle)

This is for rayzzor since he asked me to post the replay of the Ultimate Warrior's slam of Andre the Giant from the September 30, 1989 WWF MSG show. This replay gives a better angle of the slam than the one seen during the match & shows Andre's landing.

The broadcasters were Tony Schiavone & Hillbilly Jim.

People miss the simple point. Andre SOLD the slams of the Warrior. If Andre didn't want to be slammed, trust me, he wasn't going to be. He had his arm on the leg of the warrior and his other arm wrapped around UW's shoulder. Exactly how you sell a slam.

That goes for any other slam. If a guy much smaller than Andre doesn't want to be slammed, he's not gonna stand there letting a wrestler slam him. It's a part of every slam, at least the successful ones. Selling the slam or not, it still takes tremendous power to slam someone the size of Andre & UW's feat is phenomenal & is a textbook slam. Definitely the best of all the slams I've seen done on Andre.

Hogan never slammed Andre the Giant like the Warrior did there.

@niteholler, ok man, now it's clear what a sick and sad case you are. Following me around youtube to check my comments. You're also looking at another Warrior page - LMAO! You obviously are the one having wet dreams here - sick bastard! Wow, see treatment.

[niteholler]

@rhiggins30 you really love the Warrior so much you must constantly have wet dreams about him. obviously he is your Ding-Dong Warrior.

I don't know about 90%, but I definitely agree that the person receiving it does a decent portion of the work in pulling it off. But there is also momentum that Hennig needs to control to prevent the Giant from crashing straight down on him in the middle of the move. And that part does take strength. He also had to make sure the Giant's leg remained hooked for the pin after pulling it off, even though he did kick out.

[gps29070]

@wtcvidman yea, but the perfect plex is 90 percent work of the person receiving it. Basically, the Giant tossed himself over while Mr Perfect was simply bracing him. Fairly easy maneuver.

@TheTechnoa Oh there's plenty more. Search for "Andre slammed" and there should be a compilation of filmed slams on the big man.
