awesomeness!
Why not make it a playlist?

(p.s. Wrestlemania III was 1987, not 1985)

I'm right there with you k0mmie. I remember very vividly how enthralled I was with this business as a kid.

Yeah, 1987 sounds more accurate. In 1985 I was too young to appreciate this.

I enjoyed this as well, but looking at it today... Should we give it a Bravo for the acting?

I keep thinking every time Hogan hits the mat, he's going to pull up, throw that arm out and sing a freaking operatic song of sorrow to the crowd.

KOMMIE, you made my day.

Man, I forgot how cheesy this was, even back then. Roddy "Rowdy" Piper still has to be my favorite though.

*promote... IT IS ANDRE THE FUCKING GIANT PEOPLE. Fezzik, Hello!

Holy Dag on a stick! You have got to be kidding me. How can you not vote for this? Is this a joke? Are you trying to mess with my reality by conspiring to not vote for possibly one of the single greatest scenes in television history. Cause it is working and I would like you to stop.

The man weighed over 400lbs and Hulk Hogan lifted him up in the air and body slammed him.

Bravo, MH. One of the best/funniest articles I ever read about Andre the Giant was actually from Modern Drunkard Magazine:

http://www.drunkard.com/issues/10_06/10_06_andre_giant.html

"For proof of his drawing power, look no further than Wrestlemania III in 1987. The main event was Andre vs. Hulk Hogan. The show drew the first million-dollar gate in wrestling history, set a pay-per-view record that lasted a decade, and set the all-time indoor attendance record for any live event ever—78,000+ butts in seats at the Pontiac Silver Dome in Detroit—destroying the previous record set by some rock band called the Rolling Stones. His rematch with Hogan two months later, broadcast live on NBC, attracted 33 million viewers, making it the most watched wrestling match ever."

And another comment from the article...

"You won’t find it in the Guinness Book of World Records, but Andre the Giant holds the world record for the largest number of beers consumed in a single sitting. These were standard 12-ounce bottles of beer, nothing fancy, but during a six-hour period Andre drank 119 of them. It was one of the few times Andre got drunk enough to pass out, which he did in a hallway at his hotel. His companions, quite drunk themselves, couldn’t move the big man. Fearing trouble with cops, they stole a piano cover from the lounge and draped it over Andre’s inert form. He slept peacefully until morning, unmolested by anyone. Perhaps the hotel people thought he was a piece of furniture."

Wooo! Thanks for the promote. Yeah this was one of my favorite moments of all time when I was a kid. They were waged in an ever lasting battle.

That was pretty cool. Upvote for all of it, but especially for "I never thought it could be done Gorilla!" - from Governor Ventura of course!

6'8" sounded ridiculous for someone with a build like that, but www.celebheights.com does actually give him a peak height of 6'6" barefoot.

The 6'8" figure the announcer gave was for Hogan, vs. 7' 4" for Andre.

I would normally expect guys 6'6" and over to be more gangly, like Tim Silvia (image), but Hogan has a very thick build.
