Undertaker was my favorite wrestler but then soon as Kane was unveiled I switched over to Kane to be a number one in my book then Undertaker sorry taker
@Robocoppat he's at least 6'10" I think. He's not just tall though, he's LARGE. I coach the robotics team at my school and we were at a competition. He came by our pit. He's come to our school several times.
@@Robocoppat I was literally beside him a couple of weeks ago at the checkout at Walmart. I'm about 6'2". I had a very good view of his shoulders. That said, he was wearing shorts. Looks like he's been skipping leg day.
Me and my friends had a game we used to call “let’s go poke the bear” where we would find the most biggest humongous guy in the bar that was so big, nobody would even dare to think to mess with him, so we would all start messing with him, and it never failed that we were able to always get them so pissed off that they would react was violent, they would be so big that they could never get a hold of us, and luckily, it never happened one time or anybody got hurt, it was a lot of fun and most of the time we wound up all drinking together
My favorite Andre drinking story was the time he drank so much that he passed out on the floor of the hotel/bar. He was such a big guy that even the fire department couldn't move him so all they could do was put a barrier around him and let him sleep if off on the floor.
@@robertswift6101he crapped in a huge trash bag. They flight attendance used the elevator to send all the way down cause it smelt like a septic tank that was on fire
The thing that scared his opponents was that if Andre didn't want to lose a match, there was absolutely nothing anyone could do about it, he was so naturally strong.
It's almost true for every big buy, tho. There is no way someone like shawn michaels or eddie guerrero can do anything to someone of the size of a big show or undertaker.
My 5'7'' uncle was at a wrestling show and was about to use the elevator. The door opens up and it was The Undertaker in full attire. He said it was the scariest human he was ever in front of. I met The Great Khali once. I am nearly 6 feet and I was eye to eye with his nipples. He was unimaginably big.
Andre had a back surgery and the anesthesia guy asked him how much liquor it took to get him drunk because the meds metabolize in a similar way he said 2-3 liters of vodka in a 2-3hr period would do it. Can you imagine the look on that docs face😂😂😂
@@90skalaunda I understand that. Heck, I think Andre was dead before Glenn Jacobs started wrestling. Still, Andre in his prime against Kane in his prime would have been great.
Hacksaw Jim Dugan told a story a while back that he was driving Andre and Andre wanted some beer, a whole case of beer (20 cans) so Jim stops at a liquor store, buys the 20 pack, hands it to Andre, and over the 90 to 120 minute drive to their hotel, Andre drinks the entire 20 cans of beer. What shocked Jim the most was that Andre never once had to take a piss after drinking 240 ounces of beer in less then 2 hours.
Yes. Sir. My friend. Was. His. Driver. For. A. While. And I. Got to. Ride. With. Them. One. Nite. Andre and I. Drank. Some. Cold ones. I. Drank a 6. Pack and. Andre. Drank a. Case. Before. Having to go. Pee. Lol. He. Really liked his. Cold ones. He told me. He. Hurt all the. Time. I asked him why he. Hurt and he. Told me. His. Dr. Said it was because of. His. Condition. His. Bones hurt
Every time I see Glenn like this, I think back to a comment on another short. *To those who aren't familiar with this humble man, he was one of the most destructive forces in all of WWE history.*
I met Andre when i was a busboy at restaurant. Him and a bunch of the wrestlers came in. He took off his ring, and you could put a silver dollar in the finger hole.
Good thing André was such an even tempered guy. Can you imagine the stories,with his size and his affection for alcohol, if André had the personality of a David Schultz?!?!
Andre the Giant banked at the same guy I banked at in Tamps, Florida. My apartment comes parking lot backed onto the gym parking lot where all the wrestlers worked out. My toddler son, a serious wrestling fan got to feel the biceps of Rocky Johnson Sr and Hulk Hogan. It was a kid's dream.
I touched Hogan's right biceps 35-40 years ago and I was so excited. Had an aisle seat in 4th row. I was scared to reach out and touch Demolition and Seika. I reach to touch Koko B Ware and the parrot panicked and scared the crap out of me.
If I remember the story the incident between andre and Mulligan happened in a hotel when Mulligan punched Andre and Andre nearly threw him out the hotel window.
My grandpa drank with Andre one time. Apparently Andre drank too much, not drunk wise but finance wise, and he made the bet that if he could clean the bar he gets to drink for free that night. My grandpa decided to help and the bar allowed it. My gramps woke up at the bar still, in the morning with the employees cleaning all the bottles and replacing them for the next night. They told him that him and Andre succeeded in their mission and that Andre only looked "a bit tipsy".
The "Sucker Puncher" in question.... BlackJack Mulligan RIP( father of Barry n Kendall Windham, father-in-law to Mike Rotunda aka IRS, grandfather to Bray Wyatt- RIP) who had "Dirty" Dick Murdoch by his side. According to a different youtube interview clip I ve recently seen.
@@Robert-nu4vcno Kane is 6’11.. undertaker 6’9 and Kane towers over him.. Andre was 7’2.. the jury of him being smaller comes from when his posture was bad, due to his last back surgery.. Arnold actually measured him and has a whole thing about it..
I wish I remember what shoot interview I saw with someone who tried Andre. He said he got drunker and drunker and convincing himself "He ain't so big and bad; I can take Andre!" and he finally got enough liquid courage to test his theory, suckered Andre, and Andre slowly turned to him and said "Why'd you do that?" before promptly putting the attacker his ass. And the delivery of the question wasn't yelling anger, but soft spoken confusion.
Mr. Jacob's, aka Kane, 7'0, 323lb Impressive Bad Ass!! Athletic moves for his size was incredible. Nothing Fake, one wrong move in the ring Hospital time. Respect. Awesome Person!!
I remember we had a friend over. Well he had run away from home. I was a young teenager. A police officer came to the door of the apartment. He had to turn sideways and duck to get inside the door. I’m guessing he was at least 7’5” and at least 350 pounds.
Why would you sucker punch a guy with no neck, and a head easily the size of a Texas size watermelon. Some people have no survival skills. 💀 he probably punch his hardest just to see Andre casually take another sip😭
Why would anyone who's already close to 6'8" want ANYMORE height . . or weight? This is a generic question that I don't expect you to answer but the curiosity remains. I'm 6"4" and 245. I don't need the additional height and wish I could drop the weight. Wrestling "rules" are strange.
Every time I hear about Andre drinking at the bar, I remember the story of him inviting people to just sit with him and keep him company. You know deep down there had to be such a sadness for Andre if one of the most popular wrestlers of all time has to ask for a friend to just stay with him 🥺
That is terrifying honestly. I can't imagine punching a dude in the side of the head with everything I've got and him just taking a drink of his beer and asking me if I wanted to fight. "Well I did a second ago, but I suddenly don't anymore. How bizarre. Have a nice day"
I watched Andre more than once have a meal in a cafe in Tulsa Oklahoma back in the mid seventies. The amount of food he could consume was extraordinary! Huge hands.
Arnold said back in the 80s, the Giant invited him to one of the wrestling events. After the show they went out to dinner. Andre wanted to pay but Arnold insisted on settling the bill. Andre then picked up Arnold like a little boy, put him on top of a shelf and proceeds to pay the bill.
I think he was on about mulligan, he punched Andre a few times, and he’d fight with him, they were good friends. Manny Fernandez talks about it too, Kane wasn’t even around at the time which I find funny
It's very sad to see Andre die He should have been praised for his size. not mocks for it. He Really should have gotten way more respect I just wish I could have seen him in more movies Rest in peace, the Greatest wrestler and movie actor Andre the giant
