He chose instead to pack his days with as much insane, drunken fun as they could hold. Instead of languishing in the darkness, he chose to walk in the sun.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again now. Andre the Giant was an inspiration. I would pay a fortune for the opportunity to go back in time 30 years to watch such a master practice his craft, in the ring and at the bar.

Andre the Giant was the very embodiment of what being a drunkard is all about.

Cool, but long article about Andre the Giant and his ability to drink booze like nobody else.

Gotta love the giant.

That's a skill to make sure to include on any resume.
 
and the dude could flip a car without ever working out. That doc is sad man the fact he could not even do something as simple as use a phone as he could not hit the keys cause his fingers were so big and he broke his ankle just getting out of bad.
 
Hulk Hogan pretend body slammed him too.
Not sure of the entire list, but Big John Studd and Stan Hansen slammed Andre as well. Hogan even slammed him long before WM3. It's just that back then, unless seen on TV or live at a house, it didn't exist. Even to this day, there are people who think Andre was never body slammed until that Wrestlemania, but it can be seen on youtube somewhere.
 
Andre was only ever bodyslammed because he allowed it. Nearly all the wrestlers were afraid and/or in awe of him. But apparently he was one of the nicest and most generous guys around.
 
Just checked on Wikipedia and he weighed in at 520lbs. That is one big man.
