Kane's CRAZY André the Giant Story

[@sj4632]

Kane is underrated as hell. Great look, great physique, great character, great story, great wrestler. He had a long career which is awesome as well.

[@gerardoramirez6854]

underrated??!! Far from it. He's well praised, popular and skillful. Far from underrated

[@sabreewowweeanderson9205]

​@gerardoramirez6854 yea he's in the HOF.. what is that guy talking about 🤔🤔

[@KryptoKnightly]

I don't think underrated is the word. Quite the opposite

[@Scottish_Viking84]

Dude made it into the HOF before some old timers... def not underrated.

[@deionchampion72]

Undertaker was my favorite wrestler but then soon as Kane was unveiled I switched over to Kane to be a number one in my book then Undertaker sorry taker

[@ebunny1970]

My favorite Andre drinking story was the time he drank so much that he passed out on the floor of the hotel/bar. He was such a big guy that even the fire department couldn't move him so all they could do was put a barrier around him and let him sleep if off on the floor.

[@funky-puppet]

I heard 4 guys pissed Andre off at a bar one night.He chased them out to their car and flipped the car over with them in it!

[@Ellipsis-101]

Me and my friends had a game we used to call “let’s go poke the bear” where we would find the most biggest humongous guy in the bar that was so big, nobody would even dare to think to mess with him, so we would all start messing with him, and it never failed that we were able to always get them so pissed off that they would react was violent, they would be so big that they could never get a hold of us, and luckily, it never happened one time or anybody got hurt, it was a lot of fun and most of the time we wound up all drinking together

[@jesusisere]

The best part of the story is when they called the police the police arrested the four guys for pissing off andre the giant

[@Michael_Chandler_Keaton]

Nah, the best part is one of them screamed "a giant flipped our car over!"

[@Onestory249]

And the police arrested them.

That's my mayor and I couldn't be happier about it!!! Just shook his hand last week. Fantastic guy!

[@Robocoppat]

That's awesome. Is he really that tall? Where did you see him?

[@middleclassboardgamer]

@Robocoppat he's at least 6'10" I think. He's not just tall though, he's LARGE. I coach the robotics team at my school and we were at a competition. He came by our pit. He's come to our school several times.

[@mandolinman2006]

The thing that scared his opponents was that if Andre didn't want to lose a match, there was absolutely nothing anyone could do about it, he was so naturally strong.

Hacksaw Jim Dugan told a story a while back that he was driving Andre and Andre wanted some beer, a whole case of beer (20 cans) so Jim stops at a liquor store, buys the 20 pack, hands it to Andre, and over the 90 to 120 minute drive to their hotel, Andre drinks the entire 20 cans of beer. What shocked Jim the most was that Andre never once had to take a piss after drinking 240 ounces of beer in less then 2 hours.

My grandpa drank with Andre one time. Apparently Andre drank too much, not drunk wise but finance wise, and he made the bet that if he could clean the bar he gets to drink for free that night. My grandpa decided to help and the bar allowed it. My gramps woke up at the bar still, in the morning with the employees cleaning all the bottles and replacing them for the next night. They told him that him and Andre succeeded in their mission and that Andre only looked "a bit tipsy".

[@raftai665]

This story demonstrates that he was not only extraordinarily strong at his peak but could also endure punches and kicks that would incapacitate others, potentially causing permanent injuries. Being sucker-punched by a fit, strong man the size of Kane is no trivial matter. Other wrestlers may have been more technically skilled than Andre, but such prowess is of little use against a powerhouse like him. Even Bad News Brown, who once confronted Andre on a tour bus, admitted that in a real fight he would have been killed, though he added that Andre would have had to kill him. I am glad they reconciled later on, as they were my two favourite wrestlers.
