Uploaded by ThreeOranges on Aug 26, 2006
Wrestling legend Andre the Giant takes on Chuck Wepner in 1976. This is the opening bout on a card that ended with one of Muhammad Ali's sillier moments. See that here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29qI1GyhDeg
This clip came from Son of Not So Great Moments in Sports from HBO in the 1980s.

@gsingh96 as far as I know it was unscripted. From what I have read in books. it was on the same card as the Inoki-Ali fight whcih was also unscripted. Though Inoki was forced to practically wrestle on his back, because. Inoki had oriinally promised a worked (scripted) match. But It became clear Inoki wanted to really fight Ali, so the organisers but special rules in place that severly limted what both men could do. I ended in a draw if I remember right.

@greenwilly69 By the end of his career he was 7'4. Andre kept growing due to his Giantism (i Forget the real sceintific term). He may not have been that tall there, but by the end of his career he was really 7' 4. Most sources agree he genuinly was 7'4 at his peak. Unlike other Giant Wrestlers like the Big Show, who had his growth stopped. Andre never had the operation. So he did keep growing.

@gsingh96: The way the manager words it, it seems like it was a real match

@readytoheaven in real life Andre was more like 6'11" or 7 feet tall right on the money, wrestling is well known for exaggerating a wrestler's height and weight especially back in those days

Chuck Wepner was the inspiration for Rocky and this special fight was the inspiration for Rocky vs Thunderlips (played by Hulk Hogan) in Rocky III.
