- At the Summit in Houston, Jan, 1979. NWA Title Bout. Harley slams Andre YEARS before Hogan & does it WAY better, as Hogan's looked more like a hip toss or something. Please comment if you like it & want to see more!

Afterwards they went out and Harley had 30 beers and Andre had 130 beers.
Frank Valois was the closest drinker to Andre , capable of 60+ beers in a setting , Dick Murdoch was done after 27 .....Capt Lou quit drinking beer at 6 and switched to Vodka .
I do believe Harley could drink 30 beers pretty regularly . Me ? I am 292 lbs and I am finished after a 6 pack ...I hate cheap beer ; its bloaty .... I have finished fifths of Jagermeister and stayed on my feet .
Must of had another match later that night so finished drinking early then 😂😂
Damn 130 beers that’s impressive
@@pooddescrewch8718 Or Tom Collins
I don't care how much he "helped/went along with it," hoisting Andre like that is an amazing achievement.
Nearly dropped him on his head too. But still Race must have had some legit big power
@@BigALBoomer Harley Race was a fucking man.
@@BigALBoomer i looked at this a bunch of times i don't think harley was close to dropping him on his head.
Harley had enormous tendon strength . He could place a beer cap between his fingers a d bend it in half .
@@justinjohnson8551 Andre was pretty closr to the ground before Harley could level him .
This WAS wrestling. Tremendous stuff. There will never be other Harley Races and Andre the Giants. Iconic figures.
You got that right Brother!
😂🤣 both you chodes.
Matches were so much better.the rivalries.you have some matches now.but too much bullshit shenanagins.same crap all the time.
I served, Brother!
Harley sounds like my uncle when he gets frustrated working on his car.
🤣🤣🤣
Loooooool 🤣
Me in math class (seriously)
Harley sounds like my elderly great uncle who didn’t get his peach cobbler at the family union picnic...
My uncle sounds like that when he works on his Harley
It's hard to remember that before his physical condition fell apart, Andre could work a match. Thanks for posting this gem.
Not like Harley but yes
André already had a lot of wear and tear on him in 1979, but he could still wrestle a match. Sadly, the era of him doing dropkicks and moving quickly was history at this point. People who only know him from the '80s and early '90s will never understand what he meant to wrestling fans in the '70s.
He was only 32 when he had this match with Harley - he might as well have been 10 or 15 years older, you can already see the damage he had done to his body over the years.
See my comment above. First back injury for Andre. Harley should've slammed him on the canvas, instead!
The pace of this match was perfect for Andre, slow with a lot of rest holds and yet enough maximum impact moves.
70s awa andre was like a cat
This is the era of wrestling that’s sorely missed.
It's the Era of Men ..., Real men that is sorely missed !! Now to be a Man is Frowned upon and they have to I slate you and Bully your manhood from a distance .... they want all Sis men..
Tbh it would get bood out of the building today lmao respect for the old school guys. But jesus, an Eddie vs Benoit match really shits on this
Amen brother
Omg shuuuuut up. It's unbelievably fake. Quit talking about "being a man" when it's a fu cking ballet.
INDEED!🙏
The old lady at ring side.... "Come on, Andre , break his neck". LOL
what's the minute mark on that? lol.
3:47
Old ladies were some of the most vicious fans, one cut a wrestlers throat and they were often the one's who brought a handgun.
@@Peachy_Tiger that's insane and I believe it.
@@Peachy_Tiger them we're the ones to be scared of back then. Especially if a heel cheated in a match
It is so good to see, that Andre was not just strong and heavy, he was also a brilliant technician. Compared to the Great Khali from modern times and other very large and heavy wrestlers, Andre is light years ahead.
Different wrestling league, WWF was more fantasy, this was more real wrestling stlye production.
There is a match, watchable here on TH-cam, between Andre and Nick Bockwinkel, and Andre out wrestlers Bockwinkel. Good stuff.
Andre the Giant was a good wrestler especially in the 70's. Bret Hart in a interview with Stone Cold said Andre doesn't get enough credit for being a good worker.
@@orangesilver4568It's so obvious in these threads who has a clear understanding of Andre's entire history. Those people are researched and respectful. So many people love Andre. And then you hear those who are triggered.
Andre was awesome. Period.
Having a chance to see andre as a kid was both wonderful and amazing.i grew up around comics,mythology and the incredible hulk tv series(which was actually out that year),and he was all those things come to life.R.I.P. BOSS
What a true classic from the greatest Era in pro wrestling...Legends like Harley and Andre...Beautiful old school match.. Thank You@
R.I.P both men, One the real toughest SOB in the WWF, the other A Wonder of the world💪💪💪💪💪
Wow, just found out Harley died. Sad :(
Those two legends have to be in heaven now having a wrestling rematch.
Not just wwf...anywhere.
The king of the ring
First fifteen minutes of the match Harley managed to slam Andre before the end of the first round and boy it took time to get Andre back up on his feet back then he was doing then than he did in his final years
@@suzannewillis817 or beers
Harley earned his pay that night. That chop @ 6:03 would have knocked an average man out cold.
NO SHIT !! Great sound here !
Damn brutal, i almost felt that one
Fake huh... okay yeah let Andre chop you like that...this was Good ole fashin grapplin & Rasslin😁😁
I think that chop was a receipt for that headbutt. Looked really light but I bet it didn’t feel good knocking heads together
Harley was one of the very few men in the business who was legit tougher than Andre.
This is why I Love TH-cam....just incredible
I couldn't agree more.
TH-cam is by far the channel I would want the most if I had to pick one. Lol. I'd pay for it
Brian Augello me too!
MrStcarroll29 yes it is! Iam a you tube junkie!
TH-cam has a far better selection of wrestling even if it was from yesterday. Much better than the little girl wrestling they have on tv today.these guys would take those pansy wrestlers out to the woodshed and teach team a good old faction lesson in real wresling.
I wat h so much fn youtibe it's kinda crazy
Everything is here. My favorite movies, every documentary I can think of, anything from my youth, your youth, jesus youth lol. Crime shows , true crime shows. History, Science, math, WRESTLING! You name it. Love TH-cam
Harley sold Andre’s offense so well. Some of those chops were absolutely savage, love it!
If they are actually savage, is it proper to call it selling? I thought selling was making an otherwise tame or even inconsequential maneuver seem more devastating than it actually is.
I don't think Harley had any say so in the matter. lol
been binge watching between modern day wrestling and old school (like this one), man i gotta say old school looks more realistic than today’s pro wrestling. nowadays it just looks like a stunt show compared to this
I met Harley at his gym bunch of years ago. As we walked around and looked at his pictures, the body slam of Andre was one he specifically pointed out to me and mentioned it was way before Hogan. I enjoyed meeting him and had a great chat.
I'm surprised that the wrestling ring didn't collapse here! Great match.
Harley is a tank. Andre is a battleship.
Who would win a war against them.they could had been a tag team.
Wonder if they ever did?
Amadis Demitrius .....great comparison
Race looks like a midget next to Andre 😅
@@lexbeltran1354 Harley race was tough as fuck. One of the few guys that legitimately scared andre.
Respect goes out for both of these men. They were great and they are legends. R.I.P. to you both.
That is the highest backdrop I’ve ever seen in a wrestling match. My God Race is amazing! RIP Harley and Andre...
What I love here. No commentary, no acrobatics, no steroids, pretty much non stop wrestling moves and holds. Can ANYONE imagine this in 2019? BTW, HR looks like a 55 gallon drum with arms.
ukrandr I agree with you on that my friend. You said it so perfectly! Race was my all time favorite. A true legit tough as hell guy in and out of the ring.
Andre always got screwed in title matches
I could. And I agree that would be great.
ukrandr there’s nothing wrong with acrobatics though, on everything else I agree with you
Harley race remind me of Jerry Reed from Smokey and the bandit
Wow!!!! What an impressive slam by Harley Race! In the WWF I had always thought that he was overrated but now I'm convinced that Race was no joke. What an amazing wrestler!
Harley was NWA Champ at that time
Harley didn't have the build of hogan or Jesse ventura but he was a legitimate strong guy
The only thing is they should have done the slam in the ring where the people could see it. Going by the reaction of the audience, I don't think most of them saw it.
Toughest guy of all time. Him and Meng/Haku
Top 3 legitimate bad ass wrestlers in real life were 1) Andre the Giant 2) Haku 3) Harley Race
I had the pleasure to sit and talk to Harley in the mid 80s. My brother and his son were competing in a high school wrestling tournament. He was just sitting on the high school gym bleachers. Very nice guy.
"Afro" Andre was the best version of Andre. He could slink in and out the ring and could still move.
This is just about the time that the growth hormone was making him sick and his body was just beginnibg to betray him . He was so used to pain that he walked around for a week with a broken ankle before waking up one morning to find he could no longer bear weight on it . Thats where the myth about breaking his ankle getting out of bed came from . His height went from 7 feet to 6'10.5" but no one noticed because his girth was getting out of hand at 540 lbs . If you look he has a big stomach but there is no jiggle to it . His internal organs were growing faster than his muscle and bone did . Giant sized liver and circulatory system made him the undisputed drinking champion of the world . When Andre died he was only 6'9" but still over 500 lbs . He died of congestive hesrt failure . It just could not keep up any more . Andre's back had two big iron rods in it , his knees and neck were bone on bone and full of spurs . If only Andre did not fear the scalpel he could have halted his growth when his height was 7' and his weight was 385 lbs . He thought they would botch the surgery and he would die of a stroke or be in a wheel chair so he decided to live as well as he could for as long as he had .
You should have seen him in 1977 .
@@pooddescrewch8718 he was skinny right?.. not Giant Gonzales skinny, but very lean compared to how he would be just 5 years later..
I love Ken Patera's story about how Andre came to him and asked, How 'bout a haircut? It was Andre's idea. Lol 😆
This is a hidden gem and a classic should have more views.
Yes you are correct.
Indeed
This is a Rare gem 💎
It's fake lol
@@aewreddit2220 who is disputing that? Do you feel like you are a genius who just discovered this. Here is another bombshell, movies are also fake, thank me later Shelly.
it's rare to see a match where it feels almost even against Andre, but Harley Race was the real deal back then; fearless, tough as nails and fully willing to go toe to toe with the Giant for a full hour. Hats of to two of the greatest wrestlers of all time.
The Sounds Harly Race makes are worth the price of admission.
23:40 I don't think I have ever seen anyone else throw his opponent over the top rope INTO the ring, with practically one hand.
Andre the Giant is right.
5:20 the referee was shook from the impact!
When wrestling was a real sport and not a soap opera like now! Two legends, RIP to you both!
Andre was brilliant. as a giant, he could have ragdolled everyone. he chose to make money!
Those two were bad boys not to mess with.
Now you have cosplay "entertainers" who want to be referred to as performance artists. Today's wrestlers have made a joke of the legends who have come before them.
A sport is a competition, this isn’t a competition. It’s a soap opera but told in the ring instead of on a mic.
Wrestling was never real. It just looked more authentic back then. But it was never real.
Nothing but grunts, growls, and mat sounds. That's all you need.
Both are up there having a classic match as we speak RIP
I would imagine they are both at the tavern.
R.I.P both legends! They’re wrestling up in Heaven!
I had the honor to meet both Andre and Harley race such nice guys
First time I've seen Andre the Giant in his prime. Going up against another big guy Harley Race. Harley took some brutal blows from Andre that would otherwise result in pin fall from any smaller wrestler and or wrestler of weak will. Harley dished them out as well keeping the Giant on his toes. For them being both big guys they are very athletic and have plenty stamina being this is a 3 Fall Championship match. Loved it from beginning to end, new school can't top old school, just can't.
they made each other look like a million bucks, that's why
That was not his prime. That would have been 3 or 4 years previous to this.
@@BBBYpsi Yes, he was already a lot slower and much less athletic in 1979. I wish he could have retired before it was too late and he became a complete physical wreck in the '80s.
Harley, for as big as he was, actually maneuvered like a ballerina.
Lets not take anything away from harley race he was a great wrestler and a genuine badass.
Someone said Harley Race and Meng (Haku) are the only 2 men he ever feared. Harley Race said Meng was the only man he ever feared. Meng slapped the interviewer for asking.
Those had to be prison tattoos on Harley, right?
@@DeeEllEff those are his birthmarks!
@@DeeEllEff Yeah not a ton of wrestlers back then had tattoos. It was common in the navy and marines and stuff though. My grandpa who would be ten years older than Harley had an Eagle on his forearm similar in size from when he was in the Navy
Man that slam took it's toll on Andre over the years. *Thank you Legends* for the best entertainment!
The beginning of the end was his ankle break. Couple of years later his body began to break down bit by bit. His medical condition was always going to be a huge factor too obviously.
This is WRESTLING, not sports entertainment, not performance art...... WRESTLING.
It’s still a performance lol
It’s not wrestling at all lol
@@messyfilms6325 pro wrestling
@@messyfilms6325 no it isnt but its athletic and entertainment. They sustain many injuries, concussions happen a lot and chiropractors get rich. Facts.
@@christiancharles2866 I used to work the independent circuit so I know all about what's involved, thanks for trying to let me know though. 🤣🤣
Don't forget, Harley Race was an 8x NWA Heavyweight Campion, if at anytime, Andre could've been any promotions Champion, but there was nobody on earth who was gonna beat him! Andre made careers, he knew sports entertainment before anyone figured it out! The wrestling world, every man who ever came into any ring in the world, owes everything to Andre!! The real "Boss"!!!
Look at that giant move in/out of ring with such grace ! incredible for 7ft. 400#
Wow!! The power of Harley Race is incredible. He supported Andres weight until it looked like his leg was starting to give out. Amazing!!
Love it no commentary like being at it live!! Entertaining 40 years later.
I like the drunk at the end yelling “ come fight me Harley race” he’d have learned a lesson if Harley had 😂
PastLivesCurrentLife hilarious!
The drunk yard is on a death wish 💀!
I’d like to see that smart ass tell that to Harley’s face before the match!!!
I remember that nut,my mom was wanting andre to come out to ringside to sit on this loud bastard.
THEN HARLEY WOULD GET SUED !
This was when Andre was in his prime.
NOOOOOO. Look up his first encounter with Hulk Hogan. And not that WrestleMania Crap
No , this was the beginning of his slowdown . He had gotten so massive that he was compressing his joints .
I'd say mid to late 70s, early to mid 80s he was heavier n slower but still able to move around, around 85 86 is when the health issues catch up with him.
at one point andre actually had muscle definition and was scary fast for a guy his size. it almost looked unreal
I enjoy watching vintage wrestling footage, But Andre's footage is what I enjoy most.
It's nice to see Andre being able to display his actual wrestling skills. Those wrist locks, kimuras and chicken wings were no jokes! He could've easily ended Harley's career right then and there. Solid wrestling on behalf of The Giant.
well, it's good to see that you really bought into the way Harley sold Andre's offense, he's a legend, after all
This type of moves is of no value in a predetermined wrestling, not once did a wrestler submitted by it, it's a waste of time
That's a strange thing to say, considering every 25 minute wrestling match has multiple opportunities for a wrestler to end their opponents career if they choose not to protect the other person they're in the ring with... Brock Lesnar could end careers every time he gets in the ring... Even Orange Cassidy or Adam Cole could end a career if they chose to. Andre knew what business he was working in.
@@cinesanti7 Absolutely.
@@garrettstewart8776 Um, yep I agree. I thought that I was very clear about Andre taking care of Harley.
TWENTY THREE DAYS AFTER THIS MATCH I WOULD BE BORN
its wild how wwf sold Hogans slam at WM3 as such a big deal! this crowd acted like it was nothing and didnt boo or cheer but at WM3 the crowd popped like you wouldn't believe
NO AUDIO AT ALL, JUST THE TWO MEN WITH THE NATURAL SOUND OF THE MATCH!!!
You mean the commentator?
No one wanted to here the commentator anyway.they usually mess up the matches anyway.harley looks like a small child compare to Andre. But they both were great fighters.
Someone's home video?
Considering the announcer for this match would have been Paul Boesch, we are all very lucky that his audio is not present. Heckuva promoter, but horrible announcer.
@@SirVic42 exactly. He put on some of the best shows in wrestling history, but man his commentary was rough.
never see anyone like these two again. One of the greatest and toughest champions ever, and the 8th wonder of the world the " boss".
Holy shit. Could you imagine Andre locking up a Kimura on you? You're done son. Shoulder to dust
All your joint in your arm from the shoulder down would be ruined if he really tried... he was double strong 💪
Before his back got messed up Andre could work! 👍🏾! Rest well to both of these legends! 🙏🙏🙏
The drama they are able to create with such simple moves is amazing. Truly a lost art.
You said it
Not lost. Some places still do it but no one is watching.
Great to see Andre moving around so well he actually seemed to be having a good time but in later years it was painful to watch poor Andre try and get threw a match
I grew watching these two great wrestlers R.I.P
Two giants of pro wrestling. I love the old videos.
Finally some footage of the slam
Awesome Match, recorded in real time..Thanks so much!
I'm still in awe at just how BIG Andre (RIP) was! I just bought the biography on his life. I'll let you know what I think. Harley Race (RIP) was one of those guys that EVERYONE respected. Ric Flair calls him the toughest man he'd ever wrestled, and Harley could (to coin a Jim Cornette phrase) "stretch half the locker room" if he had to.
Ric Flair also said he wouldn't be scared to fight any amount of guys if he had 2 guys with him, as long as those 2 guys were Harley Race and Wahoo McDaniel.
Una de las mejores luchas de Andre el Gigante!!!
funny how 10 years later, both of those wrestlers would find themselves in that same exact arena for the 1989 edition of the WWF Royal Rumble, but in different matches while being managed by Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. RIP to Andre and Race.
Superb footage! I would have assumed this was shot in the Japan judging by the quality.
Damn Andre got Harley Speaking in Tongues!! 😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂
But make no mistake, Race was the ring general in this match.
Harley can speak Klingon.
Ha-Ha-Ha, still?
Ya no shit, what the hell is he saying???
Kaplah
Hacha. Hacha
@@f.mazz.459 wtf isn't that Luger yells or Foley? Sounds like Foley is always yelling wa tae
Harley was.such an incredible wrestler.
He made it look so real. This is why he’s considered to be one if not the best of all time. Of course Andre is as always is great. This is truly a great match and a hidden gem of a video to watch. Thank you for posting this.
Andrea the Gentle Giant. Rest In Peace my friend. But we know that when we die we don’t rest but we continue to experience learn and teach.
Great stuff! 2 of the greatest icons & legends in the history of professional wrestling
Andre had complete control of his strength. Very rare for a big man. We miss you brother.
1979 - Wrestling
2022 - Gymnastics
Very entertaining match involving two legends. I enjoyed the no commentary as well. This blows away the wrestling today and it’s sad it will never be the same.
This is how wrestling was and should still be.
My grandma used to tell us about the time she went to a wrestling show in Houston back in '72 or '73 and ended up in the back talking to Race. One thing led to another and they had a one night stand. Apparently he was too drunk to keep it up long but he was quite gifted with his tongue. Why she told us this every few years I'll never know.
Why the f do people need to know that?
Here because I heard Jim say Harley was the king of perfect bumps.
Anyone count how many times Harley said "NO HAHH"? 😆
you know, it's weird to watch pro wrestling without all the announcers yelling the whole time. Pretty cool to hear the crowd and the slams, quite the thing.
It"s like being live at the arena watching the match, love Andte and Harley.
Right
After the slam and with the crowd booing loud as hell you can still Race yelling Haa-cha haa-cha. God this is absolute gold!!!!! So great and so funny!!!! And at 14:35 when he is walking around on the floor!!! Haa-cha haa-cha
🤣🤣🤣
This has to be where Cactus got it from. I remember Cactus selling and just going A SAH A SAH A CHA
I never knew Harley Race slammed Andre always respected Harley so that respect has just went through the roof WOW
Hahahaha---Harley almost killed himself with that headbutt and on Andre's massive chrome dome!
5:50
yea, Race would also do that spot on black wrestlers like Atlas and JYD and knock himself out doing it.
Andre is massive in this match. You could park a car on his back
It's not his fault being the biggest and the strongest he doesn't even exercise lol
alot of it is the 4:3 Aspect Ratio Stretched out to 16:10
His back was massive... a lot of power comes from legs and back..
That's how he used to have his back stretched out

Thanks for posting this. Andre good job selling the slam on the floor the way wrestling is supposed to be sold
That era was truly back in the day.
Can you imagine going out and partying with these guys.
That chop at 6:09 from Andre hurt my chest ! Great classic match, respect to these two bosses.
#RIPAndre
More like 6:03 fix ur timestamps but yeah that was STIFF
That was a brutal hit. I don’t know how Harley even got up from that.
Best chop I’ve ever seen outside of Wahoo McDaniels!
That made my fkn nosebleed just watching it on TH-cam! 😂
Andre Vs Walter. Book it!
Perhaps a bit annoyed with him after the crowd laughed at the head butt move?
Thank You For Uploading This Classic Match
TH-cam is good for two things. Watching lectures on philosophy and watching the golden era of wrestling.
anyone whom thinks there too big a star to show weakness or damage from the guy there taking on need to watch this and how it is done and both men were mega stars at this time. An two of the greatest stars and workers ever. Andre was an attraction but at this point he can work. thanks for the match!
Hell of a strength move for Race to slam Andre. Sure, Andre let himself get slammed--notice how he puts one arm down when he's just about to be slammed to break his fall somewhat--and Race doesn't really slam him hard to the ground, just sort of lets him down a bit more gently. Great selling by both champions. Race was one tough, strong, SOB. Not strong as in weight-training strong, but natural strength and strength picked up through wrestling. Andre was just terrifyingly powerful at that time. Pity he didn't live that long, and now Race is gone. RIP to both men.
andre was scared of only 3 men, legit... king tonga(haku/meng), bad news allen/brown, & harley race.
Also notice how Harley protects Andres head from hitting the ground during the slam.
@@raymondphillips7107 Yeah, agreed. Race could be a mean one if the situation called for it, but in a match, he did his best to sell and not hurt anyone. A true pro.

@@davidwesley2525 yup, heard about that. i think bad news talks about it in a shoot interview. it was not at all intentional. still though, yuck. his love of farting in public is well documented.
How does a match this important just get lost among hundreds of thousands of others?? I walked away from a Ernie Ladd vs. Andre match and came back to see Harley slamming Andre outside the ring!! I was shocked as I had thought that Hogan, in WrestleMania 3 was the 1st and only guy to do this. Hell yes, bring on more of anything similar in age and more importantly, importance to the history of wrestling. Thanks so much for exposing the myth that Hogan's hip-toss was the 1st time Andre was was slammed.
Andre was slammed by any of the guys he liked , hed tell them to and help them because they couldnt actually do it alone...there was no internet then and most werent taped , so it wouldnt be known around the world each time , but many guys in shoot interviews have said Andre would call it in the ring...the other guy just gets low and Andre puts his hand down on their leg to push off while almost jumping up into position...its not nearly as hard to get someone up when theyre already in motion to help you and theyll push off
My promise to myself . Whenever Carmella v Naomi ever appears anywhere on TV I will switch to the classics..bless you for the upload and saving our soul.
Carmella needs to sit on men's faces.

It was kind of a cartwheel by Andre . Notice his arm is extended to the floor .

I've noticed some articulation of the highest order on these replies.
Harley slammed Andre on the concrete. Brutal!
With blind man bronko luvicz as the referee. Sucks, he was the "danny davis" of that era.
It's hard to understand from a modern perspective how huge this match was back then. This was the NWA World Champion Harley Race, the best wrestler in the world who at this point had been champion for about 2 and a half years, against arguably the biggest attraction in pro wrestling at this time, Andre the Giant who was undefeated, and had never been pinned or submitted for the last 7 YEARS.
The only equivalent I could think of in modern day would be if Roman Reigns and Kenny Omega had a match, and even that sells it short.
Comparing Omega and Reigns to this is a joke
Used to work with a guy who had formally worked at an arena in SC and would warm the wrestlers up (he was a big guy), he said Harley Race was the toughest guy he had ever met.
