I used to see Andre when he would make the rounds, he would stop by my restaurant. He could drink like youve never seen, ate 23 lobsters in one sitting and was funny as all get up. RIP to the big man, what a character.
I had the pleasure of seeing both Andre, Bobo and Freddie Blassie (different dates) in 1979 in San Bernardino, CA. I also had the opportunity to shake hands with Andre - wow! His hand swallowed mine and it was like an adult shaking hands with a very young child (I was 22 years old!). May these legends rest in peace.
I'm 55 years old and I do remember watching Andre wrestle. He was a phenomenal athlete and just seeing his immense size on television was enough to make u feel intimidated even if u were not there in person. To me, he was scarier as a heel late in his career. There will truly never be another wrestler like him.
I remember as a kid watching Georgia Championship Wrestling on Ted Turner's station, and seeing this young up and comer actually body slam Andre the Giant. I couldn't believe this young blond guy could do that......first time I saw Hulk Hogan wrestle😊
Of course it wasn't, but back in the territory days, people; including a much younger version of myself, thought it was "real." Whch is why I loved a babyfaced Bobo and despised his nemis, the dreaded and dreadful Sheik. I can still hear Bobo saying "Sheik, when I get you in the rang" (that's how he pronounced it.)
I started watching Wrestling with my grandmother in the 50s and 60s with Fritz Von Erich, Georgeous George, Verne Gagne, Killer Kowalski, Antonino Rocca, Lou Thesz, Yukon Eric, Antonino Rocca, Hans Schmidt, Bruno Sammartino, Gorilla Monsoon and others
My wife's grandfather (Rowdy Pat O'Dowdy) was the wrestling promoter in Odessa Tx for many years. My wife as a small child sat on the lap of Andre The Giant.
Yep. I grew up in the beautiful, low tech 1970's just outside of Detroit city limits and absolutely loved watching Big Time Wrestling on TV. BoBo Brazil with his famous "cocoa butt" head slam move. The Mighty Igor with his outlandish manager Eddie Creachman were my favorites back then. Unfortunately we never got to the Air Conditioned Cobo Arena to see the shows in person.
That's when it was fun to watch wrestling. My favorite was Dick The Bruiser. He was my dad's friend & I got to ride on his shoulders right up to the ring. Oh my goodness what a time that was!
Bobo Brazil wrestled near my home town in Howell, MI in the late 60's; my dad, grandpa and I went to watch. We were able to get within 10' of him as he walked to the ring. I remember being in awe of how enormous he was! He was my hero as I was growing up.
I saw Andre twice in person, walking through the crowd absolutely no one even as tall as Andre's shoulders. The size difference of average people and Andre was shocking.
I met him a few times shook his hand once and it made my hand look like a baby hand LOL. Where I grew up in Ohio the wraslers would come there all the time to hold matches in springfield tipp city Dayton we would always go to them all. back in those days they was just like regular folk they hang out with you at the bar after the matches then go on their way to the next gig in the next town. Wraslin in the 1970s was great fun
When I was a kid back in the 1970s, I was watching Big Time Wresting and my dad walked in. He looked at the tv and asked,”Is that Bobo Brazil?” “Yeah! You know who he is?” “I used to watch him when I was your age.” “He’s that old?” I asked inoocently. Needless to say I was on my dad’s sh*twist for a long while.
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.
@@EdsterIII yeah I thought my brother in law was big at 6'5" and probably 220 lbs until I saw that guy. I remember him putting a foot up on the ring rope just in front of me and his boot sole looked like it was long as my leg. Even his hair was huge ! He looked like a tree that came to life and walked in the building.
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.....
In his early days Bobo fought out of Windsor Ontario and it was fed to Detroit. The matches were held at Cobo Hall in Detroit. The program was huge in the area's, circa late sixties!
When I was about 6 or 7 years old in the early 70s we would go to the Cleveland arena and saw BOBO take on the sheik . He was always one of my favorites I love the coco butt. Also BOBO AND Ernie Ladd always a great match. Good times with my Grampa.
I went to cobo Hall for many many years My favorite is still Dick the bruiser I stop watching wrestling for a while now I'm watching again it's an addiction but I love it I knew a lot of the fans at Coboo
As soon as I was able to understand what was going on, my Dad and I would watch wrestling together every chance we had. I remember he took me to an event where Rufus R. Jones was wrestling and Rufus threw his sweaty towel at my dad. I sure wish I knew what happened to that towel. So many great memories during a much simpler, better time.
I saw Andre the giant in Rochester NY war memorial after the match he was walking down the aisle I was 12 or less years old standing on the chair he put his hand on my shoulder and his fingers were in the middle of my chest I'm 50 now and I will never forget that what a joy that was
Bobo was a big, big dude. I looked him up and he was 6'6" and 270 lbs. But some how looks small in the ring with Andre, anywhere else he'd by far be the biggest guy in the room.
Bobo when he wrestled for The original WWWF was 305 and 6 foot 6. He was a big dude and was a star like Haystacks Calhoun, Andre The Giant, and Mil Mascaras he was a special attraction and I finally got to meet him years later when he came in to wrestle Big John Studd but Bobo was on his last years.
Bobo Brazil,was remarkable. His wrestling style,speaks for itself.To go toe to toe with Andre The Giant,truly impressive.No fear in him at all.If Wrestlemania came about in, that era,what a match that would have been Yes even to Hulk Hogan, King Kong Bundy,Big John Studd,maybe Killer Kahn, andmaybeThe Great Kali.
@@anthonylofaso6137 Yep I saw one meeting between Brazil and Studd. Bobo was past his prime in that match. He lost the bout when he got tangled in the ropes and may have have suffered a groin injury.
I think Andre was supposed win . That’s why the other guy ran off . Bobo wasn’t selling the hits or head butts by Andre and Andre got ticked off and left to keep from killing him
When the body of a 2 meter 130kg men looks like the body of a teenager compared to the other guy, then it can only be legendary Andre The Giant. 0:29 the size difference is just insane.
Jeez if you watching in slow motion when andre hits the ropes at 52 second mark the post's that the ropes are attached to move and shift quite a bit! Makes me wonder if andre ever caused accidental ring failure due to his massive size.
😲You have to appreciate the size of both of these Juggernauts Bobo was no small man but compared to Andre he looked small Unbelievable thank you U-Tube 💥👊 .
I remember Bobo from 1968. Haystacks Calhoun, Killer Kowalski, Gorilla Monsoon, and of course the chanp, Bruno Sammartino. I was a kid, and these were larger-than-life characters. I saw some of them at Boston Garden, along with the Fabulous Moolah and the tag-team midgets.
Wow this brings back memories from the past. My parents loved wrestling back in Detroit when I was a kid. They would occasionally go to cobo hall for shows. They would never believe me when I told them how fake some of the moves were
I've met men like Terry gordy, King Kong Bundy when they were walking out of the sportatorium in Dallas and those guys were huge but when they were in the ring with Andre the Giant they looked like little kids
They really exaggerated Bobos weight. Yes, he was a big guy but not 450 lbs. probably more in the range of maybe 300-320. Andre clearly weighed a lot more.
I used to watch "Studio Wrestling" from Pittsburgh with Bill Cardille back in the 1960s. Bruno Sammartino, Jumping Johnny DeFazio, and Killer Kowalski were all there. Bobo Brazil had his famous Coco Butt, and the match was over when he delivered that one. It was fun to watch. In Pittsburgh, Studio Wrestling came on Saturday night at 7:30pm followed by Chiller Theater. It was great stuff.
Since nobody can say for sure how tall Andre was in his prime, why not just forget about it and leave his legacy alone. Basing his height off somebody else you that don’t really know how tall he was. Its all hear say and BS at this point. Andre is long long gone. There is nobody that is commenting on here that knows anything for fact. He was one of a kind, and a true giant regardless.
My family ran an auction house in Toledo. Some how my dad got a group of wrestlers together, I think three separate nights. It was the sheik Bobo Brazil flying Fred Curry the great wojo the masked crusader . Us kids help set up the ring and got to play in it . I can’t remember who the other few wrestlers were but it was a good time back in the late 70s
My aunt was Mildred Burke champion lady wrestler she introduced me to Bobo Brazil and he put me up on his shoulders and I will never forget it
Nice little story!👍
Yeah right buddy
I'd like some sort of proof
I believe you
My uncle was hulk hogan
This was awesome… idgaf what Anyone says how old things looked… LIFE WAS BETTER AND PPL WERE HAPPIER THEN
There were some boos from the fans at the end, though. :)
The match was in fact awesome. Everything you put in caps, you’re wrong.
You ain't lying
I’m pretty happy, dude. People just like to cry about nonsense now
Bo Bo was a gentle giant , like Andre ' . Both are true legends and loved by many .
Bobo Brazil should've been a Champ...

The foot stomp as a sound effect for punches still cracks me up. "I can't tell he barely touched him" ROFL!
Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪
Wow, major TV flashback. Used to watch these matches as a kid. Andre was the coolest of all the wrestlers, save the midget wrestlers.
ごっついな。。。やっぱデカイだけでプロレスは魅入られてしまう、格好良い
貴重な映像ありがとうございます
I used to watch "Studio Wrestling" from Pittsburgh with Bill Cardille back in the 1960s. Bruno Sammartino, Jumping Johnny DeFazio, and Killer Kowalski were all there. Bobo Brazil had his famous Coco Butt, and the match was over when he delivered that one. It was fun to watch. In Pittsburgh, Studio Wrestling came on Saturday night at 7:30pm followed by Chiller Theater. It was great stuff.
Those were the days, when wrestling was real. 😂
Bobo would've been 100 years old this year
Super great memories these men are wrestling icons 😎
Bobo Brazil was very popular in Japan wrestling with a Japanese legend Rikidozan back in 1960's. Every old men and women in Japan know him.
Bo Bo that takes me back a ways. The sheik, ferpo, the bruzer the good ol days
Gotta love it!!!
Great motivation
Since nobody can say for sure how tall Andre was in his prime, why not just forget about it and leave his legacy alone. Basing his height off somebody else you that don’t really know how tall he was. Its all hear say and BS at this point. Andre is long long gone. There is nobody that is commenting on here that knows anything for fact. He was one of a kind, and a true giant regardless.
I saw Bulldog Brown and Gene Kiniski in the 1960's. Great action.
My family ran an auction house in Toledo. Some how my dad got a group of wrestlers together, I think three separate nights. It was the sheik Bobo Brazil flying Fred Curry the great wojo the masked crusader . Us kids help set up the ring and got to play in it . I can’t remember who the other few wrestlers were but it was a good time back in the late 70s
When he threw Andre off the ropes the whole damn ring moved
