In today's landscape, would Andre the Giant have been anything special?
I'm watching Lesnar vs. Show from Survivor Series just now and thinking how athletic Show is compared to Andre. Andre is a legend, no doubt, but I think it had more to do with the fact that someone of his size was a rarity in the 70s and 80s.

But now, guys close to 7 feet and/or 500+ pounds are fairly common. Andre, even in his prime, wasn't THAT athletic (and by Mania 3 forget it). I would compare him to someone like Khali before I compared him to someone like Big Show.

So, in today's landscape, would Andre be as impressive as he was back in the 70s and 80s? Would he be lost in the shuffle? Would he have been hated and touted by smarks as another one for Vince's big man collection?

Discuss.
