I remember back in 1986 when the then WWF came to Sydney, Australia. Andre was on the card in the main event against Big John Studd. There was plenty of cheering and excitement about the undercard but when Andre came out it was like a plane taking off. I saw him from about fifteen feet away lumbering down the aisle. He was broken down and way past his prime but it didn't matter. It was that moment that cemented my wrestling obsession.

If they'd done a drinking game where you take a shot every time she says, "Uh oh," during the Piper vs T bout, even Andre the Giant would be completely shitfaced before the end. Best part of it was when the crowd started chanting, "Roddy! Roddy! Roddy!" You can find clips of it, and it is plain as day. Piper later said that was the first step of his (involuntary) babyface turn. He even threw the stool at Mr T to try to get the crowd to turn against him, but they were having none of it. He loved being a heel, but said the fans forced his babyface turn.

The Jake, the snake and Rick rude match was just fine you see back then wrestling fans were entertained by watching guys put each other in wrestling holds so when they do a spot that centers around reversing a wrist lock and it goes on for five minutes today's audience just doesn't have the attention span. The wrestling fans aren't interested in watching wrestling they wanna watch gymnastics. The guys have to be running back-and-forth and jumping over each other in order for today's fans to appreciate it. back then the guys would tell a story in the ring and putting a guy in a wrist lock and having him try to reverse out of it could go on for a full five minutes and it was entertaining to the crowd because they were actually involved in watching the match for it being a wrestling match it wasn't like watching a monster truck show they legitimately wanted to see if Rick Rude could beat Jake the snake, they were emotionally invested in it. It wasn't just a gymnastics, spectacle or stunt show.

Was the main event and as a young fan was so excited. Little did I know how it would be anyth7ng by the end. It was a 20 second match if I remember with Warrior running in, clotheslining Andre against the rope and then running back out and chasing Heenan back to the dressing room era. Knowing what I do now, I understand this was towards the end of Amdres career and Warrior was pretty much known for squash and short matches in that day. With all that said, I do wish it would have been a different main event or different opponent for Andre.

Any match that had that doofus warrior dude in it was a dumb match. Had absolutely 0 talent, was just big. Most were ran off fairly quick but for some reason that bozo was allowed to hang around

How do you give up on someone you love so easily? Your ex probably didn't give up easily. He probably put up with your insufferable personality for years, loving you in spite of your flaws until you chose to leave instead of work on the relationship. 😂

quite a few of dumb picks on this list. these seem to be matches he's seen. Something like Steele vs Savage at Saturday Night's Main Event with a Steamboat run in? who thought that was a bad match? it wasn't meant to be. ive seen a lot of boring house show matches from that era that would eclipse some of those matches.
