Andre the Giant Archives

ANDRE is FRANCE

Andre was so obviously on a platform next to Vince. Vince looks like he's 5 ft. tall there.

Love the peach blazers Mean Gene and Lord Alfred are wearing in the opening. Also, that was one hell of a fall Bundy took out of the ring - I don't think he intended to fall that hard.

yea there's no way andre was as tall as yao ming

at 2:21 when VINCE is interviewing ANDRE with vinces yellow jacket
ANDRE was 7'2, that was about 1980-81, as you know by 1987/WM3 andre was down to 6'10 cause of disease

andre was on a platform when being interviewed by vince.

maybe so, but at one point andre was 7'4, time of death 6'8'-

ANDRE was 7'4 at peak in 1974, by 1976 at age 30 GIANTISM kicked in began to shrink,,by WM3 in 1987 ANDRE was 6'10 tall, hogan was 6'5......when andre died in 1993 he was down to 6'7...........

Almost all wrestlers are billed as a few inches taller and 20-100lbs heavier than they really are.. Some are pretty obvious. I love seeing pics of a "thin" in shape andre from the 70's with his funky hair lol.

i think Andre was 7' 0" even.. but back in the early days in the 70s he had hair that stood up atleast 2 or 3 inches, so with the hair that would have made him about 7'2" or 7'3 so with that promoters said ok we will say 7' 5". but with short hair, and no boots i think 6'11' or 7'0" i have a friend that saw him wrestle live 2 times, once in 1981, and in 1985, he said he looked shorter the second time with short hair, but he looked super thick, his weight was correct.
