    Andre also didn't speak english when he first came to the states to train, all he spoke was french, so he had to have one of the Minnesota guys that he was training with (in this case Flair) speak for him. I can only imagine how much fun they had with that

    • @johnnyzsalt5374
      @johnnyzsalt5374 11 месяцев назад +1

      I agree. He was OK as a heel going against Hogan, but when he talked you could just tell there was nothing naturally malicious in his head. His role in "The Princess Bride" was the most accurate depiction of how he actually was. The kind giant who had no idea of his strength.

    The most imprrssive Andre drinking story is somehiw everyone in the business at that particualr time managed to be in the same town on the same night to see Andre drink over 10 gallons of fluid on a whim. Truly it was an astonishing feat to ger all their schedules coordinated for this unplanned event.

  • @bkteleven
    @bkteleven 10 месяцев назад +1

    In my opinion it is completely impossible for any human to drink 106 beers in one sitting. I'm a fan of Andre the Giant. I'm a fan of Ric Flair. And I also try to be realistic.

    B.S. Andre didn't drink when I had the privilege of meeting him and hanging out with him and Roddy Piper (and Ric Flair and others) in 1982-84. Ric did. We would meet up with them in Niagara Falls at the Spaghetti Factory after an event. Ric was dating my friend's sister Laura back then. Andre said he couldn't drink due to his metabolism. I didn't drink either, so a bunch of us sober ones would always sit together.

    • @danman6669
      @danman6669 11 месяцев назад +2

      Yeah, okay. It's been well known for decades that Andre did a lot of drinking, so I'm not sure why you claim he couldn't drink. If you google Andre the Giant and his drinking habits, you'll find many webpages mentioning how much he could drink. Maybe those nights he didn't drink, for some reason, but that was just those nights. That's not representative of his whole lifetime.

    • @RowdyOneC17
      @RowdyOneC17 11 месяцев назад +1

      3. there are tones of stories of Andre’s drinking habits from the bullshitters in wrestling, the honest people in wrestling, and people who have no connection to wrestling….and you know what….everyone’s stories are the same. he was the king of drinking
