Andre the Giant vs Otto Wanz 1986 08 30

[@mperry0913]

So here is a bit of trivia. During this time, Andre was 'suspended' from the WWF for no showing an event. This was all to cover the fact that Andre needed time away to make The Princess Bride. This would have been right in the middle of the suspension, and before his return as the Giant Machine, the masked giant from Japan which was obviously Andre. Great video!

He paid Andre a fortune for his wins. Back then Andre thought no one would ever see these matches

One of the best matches I’ve seen Andre have… And it was especially good considering how late in his career it was … It’s amazing what a little bit of psychology and telling a story will do… It’s not that complex, and the crowd was into it

Wrestling holds? No gymnastics? An audience that isn't getting bored? What universe is this from and can I go there? Audio does suck. Warn us next time so I can keep the volume down.

I'm surprised at the size of Otto

Ah yes Otto Wanz - the man who paid Verne to make him AWA champion. One of the low points of the business.

[@EdsterIII]

I remember watching the AWA back in the 70's in Milwaukee growing up. I used to have a love for the AWA. Verne Gagne, Greg Gagne & Jim Brunzell the "High Flyers" were my favorites back then as well as Da Crusher! Verne wanted to become Vince McMahon Sr. and that ridiculous idea turned him into a goof! My Dad grew up in Minneapolis/St.Paul area and he knew Verne. He even said he was a dick....lol, but who knows.

The audio on this is ASS! While filming this, what did they use for the mic, an old police scanner?

sounds like pal to ntsc transfer issue.

[@energyasylum997]

I changed my mind, Otto Wanz to go anymore!!!

[@tonystone1016]

Andre vs Who? Dude is thick.

[@CWAMemphis]

He was famous in Germany, Andre would do the job for the right price over there.

アンドレの衰えが目立ち始めた頃。 デブ2人が密着して動きのない場面が多く、2倍速でも退屈する。 ワンツが投げるところが唯一の見せ場。
