What scares me here is the statement that she bears a striking resembelance to Andre.

He was fun to watch, but he wasn't exactly attractive, to say the least.

And still, likely to be more attractive than Hitlary, Janet Waco, or Maddie Al-Dim. . .

Hulk Hogan as a "Great" wrestler. Now that's funny.

Andre was great in one of my favorite movies, "Princess Bride"

I had the honor of meeting Andre at a charity softball game about 25 years ago. Until you see someone like him in the flesh you cannot fathom the sheer size of the man. My head came to the middle of his chest. His pinky was bigger than my thumb. When he shook my hand, mine disappeared in his. When he held a bat, it looked like a twig.

What I’ll remember the most was a soft-spoken, gracious, engaging man . . . not at all what I expected.

You are a lucky man. As a young child in the late 1970s he was my hero!

Andre was really about 6 ft 10 inches tall. Paul "Big Show " Wight is about the same size. Wrestling is the only "sport" I can think of that beats professional basketball at exagerrating the size of the athletes.

Andre was fun to watch before his disease left him nearly crippled. Hogan was far too formualic in the ring and his character was too one dimensional.

Steve Austin was a pretty good worker, was pretty good on the mic and had a very good grasp of the psychology of building a good match. I'd take Austin over anyone as the most entertaining wrestler ever.

Kurt Angle may someday outdo him.

What about The Iron Claw/Fritz Von Erich? Thats when I was in to wrestling here in Dallas, back in the 70's and 80's and all the battles between the Von Erichs and The Fabulous Freebirds....now that was wrasslin at it's finest!! These guys today make me sick....I dont even watch it anymore. Bunch of fags. WWE has lost its appeal....Although I did watch for awhile during the hulk Hogan and Randay Savage days.

My favorite episode of The Six Million Dollar
Man was the one where Col. Steve Austin met
Bigfoot aka Andre T Giant. Truly a larger
than life persona.

What do you think of Ric Flair? I always thought he was an overratted loser.
