I saw the Giant in 1980 from just a few feet away at the Cincinnati Gardens and it was amazing how big he was. He grabbed his opponent ( I don't remember who) by his ankle and dangled him upside down like a guy holding a squirrel by the tail. There was no way to fake it , it took massive strength to hold a man up with one arm that way . I'm sure his opponent was at least 200 to 225 lbs . I don't think anyone else could have done it. My brother in law said it was the most impressive feat of strength he'd ever witnessed

Andre the Giant was a incredible force of nature. He could and usually always dwarfed anyone he faced. I got to see him during a wwf show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A few different times actually. Once he fought Hacksaw Jim Duggan and the next he faced Jake the Snake Roberts. I remember looking at this man. His fingers were almost the size of a kids arm. He was just insanely huge! He was unbelievably gentle though. He always worried about his opponents unless they pissed him off. Then WATCH OUT! Andre was/is the biggest draw literally and figuratively in pro wrestling.

Perhaps a man who shared similar natural strength was the legendary basketball player wilt chamberlain who became great friends with the Giant on the film set off Conan, they both took turns on picking up the 260 IIbs Arnold Schwarzenegger with one arm..... What's also interesting about that time was the generous to a fault Giant payed for the meals whenever the three of the went out....Wilt understood that he would hurt his new friend if he refused....so he accepted this situation....Wilt often did the same during his career, supplying tickets or once for a year paying for meals for a beach volleyball team of players he played with....without telling them...letting them think it was the manager of the place who liked volleyball..... Everyone who understands wrestling sees the Giant as the one at the top....everyone who saw Wilt Chamberlain at his peak, never considered anyone was better.....
