TPWW Forums - View Single Post - Was Andre The Giant really just a giant pussy?

**The Lone Drinker** · 05-13-2005, 02:20 AM

I wasn't saying Andre was a pussy for getting calls from the Redskins or the Army not having his shoe size.

I was just posting various odd info I find on him on the Net.

Again, I was not trying to be disrespectful but people have the right to know the truth.

Almost all of this info I learned, I learned from people that are actually in the business and I have a lot more reason to believe them then some of you.

Now I will respond to each thing I posted and provide a source.

1. He openly masturbated in the hotel rooms.

2. He urinated on the carpet and/or furniture of every motel he's ever stayed in.

For starters, since Andre got drunk a lot....this would seem like the stuff he would do.

I myself read this on a site that had various "urban legends" posted about different wrestlers.

This may be hard to believe, but I am having trouble finding the URL since I read about it a fairly long time ago but once I find it, I will post it.

3. He once defecated on the floor of a hotel room he was staying in and used the curtains to wipe his backside.

This was in Hulk Hogan's book.

4. "Andre shits on Bad News".

Was posted on Bad News Browns official website. It is still there.

Rather it's true or not, I do not know....but again, he was in the business. I have more reason to believe him then the rest of you.

I also want to add RD from wrestlecrap.com once talked about the Andre taking a shit in his trunks story as well so it is pretty well known.

5. When Andre had to wrestle wrestlers he did not like, he would throw them into the corner, sit on them and break wind on their head.

Bobby Heenan said this in an interview in 2002 that he had with the Honky Tonk Man. The interview is still on Honky's site. Go listen to it if you like.

6. Andre beating up Hogan.

All in Hogan's book. Hulk actually goes in much greater detail about the legit fights he had with Andre. Go read it if you don't believe me. Hulk even mentions some of it on the Hulk Still Rules DVD, so for you book haters, go watch the DVD sometime if you are not into books.

And to give more detail on his problems with Hogan.....

Please read the following review I wrote in regards of their problems.....

"Hulk Hogan Vs. Andre The Giant

At a time, the late, great Andre The Giant did not like Hulk Hogan at all and thought that Hogan was just a young stuck up, blonde cocky primma-donna punk kid from Hollywood that was going to try and take his place as the official giant of professional wrestling.

And Hogan going around telling people that he wanted to surpass Andre didn't really get him into good graces with Andre either. Andre heard about what Hogan would say and took it as a direct threat.

So whenever they had to wrestle each other, Andre would work very stiff with Hogan and try to end his career but make it look like an accident.

Whenever Hulk had to wrestle Andre, Hulk was so scared of him that whenever he would be driving to the building, he would pull his car over and vomit because he was so nervous and terrified.

Hogan would tried to talk to Andre but Andre refused to even speak with him.

Andre gained respect for Hogan however when the WWF went to Japan and Hogan had to wrestle a legit tough guy, Japanese wrestler named Tatsumi "Dragon" Fujinami that could have turned into shoot match.

Hogan was the world champion at the time and Vince McMahon told Hogan, " Hulk, be sure to take care of business tonight because we're not coming back to Japan."

If Fujinami wanted to, he could have broken Hogan's arms and legs and pinned him for the belt right in the middle of the ring but none of it happened but Hogan was still very worried and scared.

When it was over, Andre came up to Hogan and said, "Hey Boss, why didn't you tell me? I would have taken care of him for you."

Hogan replied with "No Andre. It was my battle."

Hogan knew things were going to be cool with him and Andre from then on because Andre only called people he liked "Boss".

After that, things did indeed change between Andre and Hogan and they patched things up and became very good friends.

But Hogan still recalls there being some VERY uncomfortable and awkward times in the locker room and on bus trips with Andre.

Source: This all came from Hulk Hogan's book as well as the "Hulk Still Rules" DVD."

7. Andre, the drinking giant.

I think almost everyone knows about Andre's drinking habits.

8. He was drafted into the French army but was rejected because they did not have footwear in his size.

9. He had 50% more teeth than most people.

10. The Washington Redskins tried to recruit him.

11. He was a "gentle giant" and his feelings were easily hurt.

Read all of that on his profile on AmIAnnoying.Com

12. Andre had very bad back problems later on in his career. In an interview Bobby Heenan said Andre would lean on him while walking up the stairs to the ring and that Andre wouldn't be able to move at all after his matches.

It's already said above where I learned that info: Bobby Heenan. And Wrestleview.com also has the story posted.

13. Andre vs. Bad News Brown

Read that on http://www.armpitwrestling.com/ and the site also notes that Bad News himself was the one who told the story.

14. The Andre the Giant vs. Akira Maeda shoot match - read it on http://www.armpitwrestling.com/

15. Andre vs. NFL star - see above

16. Andre vs. Warrior - See above, and Honky himself said it was a true story on his website.

17. Andre vs. Snake Man - Bobby Heenan and Honky both mentioned that Andre did not like Jake and would be very stiff with him in the ring.

18. Andre vs. The Iron Sheik - See above.

19. According to Ric Flair's book, Flair talks about Andre downing 100 beers and almost drowning Blackjack Mulligan and Dick Murdoch because he got sucker punched by them.

Ric Flair's book.

20. He once lifted the car of a man who was inside the car because he ticked him off.

I believe Rob Harvey was the one who told that story.

You can check out some or all of the above sources I listed to see for yourself but the best way to go is to read Hogan's book, watch his DVD, and finally....go to Honky's website and listen to the 2002 Heenan interview. Heenan actually worked with Andre as did Hogan and both were very close to him so I don't see why they would make things up about their friend.

No one is perfect. Not even Andre The Giant and people have the right to know the truth and know he wasn't this big gentle giant nice guy all the time.

He did have his mood swings and when he did, he kicked ass.

....Unless he happened to fuck with the wrong "mark" and they ended up kicking his ass and/or punking him out and making him look like a giant pussy.
