To the world, he was the legendary "Andre the Giant," but to his friends, he was just Andre. The only thing that had changed was that he'd pay for drinks.

+pete lewis I first saw Andre 40 years ago, in the now-defunct AWA, the American Wrestling Association. A young Gene Okerlund was the announcer/interviewer there (before both he and Andre later migrated over to the WWF, along with a lot of other wrestlers Vince McMahon lured away). Anyway, in that first tv interview I saw, Okerlund was asking Andre all those same kinds of questions: his size, his custom-made shoe and jacket size, and all that; and Andre accomodated him. It really is unfortunate that so many in society gawk at people who are of unusual size just as they gawk at a disabled person with an unusual walk (and then all the questions come, "How did you get that?" etc). Society has so much to learn!

He was a hero to me as a kid and as I've grown and learned his personal story he has only grown in that light. A good man indeed. Missed for sure....

When I was a kid Andre was the king of the wrestling world . If you read or watch the history here on youtube its kinda of a sad story of his life but he was always so kind to others and was a great guy .

I met him at the Stampede Pavillion in Calgary in the 70's, He was standing in front of the doors the wrestlers come out of, arms crossed across his chest, VERY imposing. A ten yr old kid shaking looks up at him and asks," Mr Giant, may I have your autograph please? He looked down at me from the ring he was watchin, gruff look on his face. Broke into a huge smile and reached his hand out to me, I tried to pass my program and pen to him, he pushed them out of the way . I wasn't sure what he wanted, the person to his side told me he wanted to shake my hand. I stuck my hand out as his enveloped this young lads hand, and signed my program. VERY cool gentleman.

If Andre was to slap my momma I'd immediately ask her what she did to him to make him mad.

TheBeautifulme1985 That saying only makes sense if you can take them down. Bigger the harder they are to take down, and the harder they hit. Dont talk hard because you know a stupid phrase lol.

I met Andre in 1978-79 in Bham, Al., at an automotive shop I working at. My boss called me over and introduced me to him. I am a tall, big guy myself, but he towered over me. When we shook hands his hand swallowed mine. He was very nice and polite. Side note: I despise Letterman!
