Does your dad remember anything about the Bruiser Brody incident? Not that I'm inferring he was there, but as a cop, there's a decent chance he could've heard some things.
@@UMAMIMAMU what little came through the grapevines at the time was that bruiser attacked invader then invader killed him for self defence although now disproven this was the version given by Carlos Colon to the Police and given the size difference it was thought impossible that invader could have ambushed him
I’m honored to have seen Andre wrestle once and also seen him as a special guest referee, both times at Nassau Coliseum. I’m one of his biggest fans. I’ve talked with his daughter Robin a few times in the past, she’s a really great artist, and a very sincere person. #TheOnlyTrueGiant
I believe Andre's ranch is still there and is being ran by Frenchy Bernard still, who was Andre's best friend and basically ran the ranch for Andre while Andre was on the road for wrestling and when his health was in decline. I live about just under an hour from there. Fun fact. The Hardy Boyz compound in Moore County is only like 30 minutes from Andre's ranch. Shannon Moore lives only 10 or 15 minutes from the Hardy compound. Hurricane Helms lives about an hour north of them and like a half hour from me. Ivan Koloff lived in Winterville, NC which is an hour and a half to 2 hours north of Andre's ranch. Ricky Steamboat and Ric Flair live in Charlotte which is around an hour from his ranch. So many pro wrestlers live or have lived in a 2 hour radius of where I live in North Carolina. I know there are cats that are probably like who gives a f*ck....as a fan, I just think it's cool.
I've heard that the ranch is still there but it's been up for oction for a few years now I not shore we might be getting are information from two different places
Micah Hodges you could be right. I just know it's still there. The last time i heard anything about the ranch was like 5 years back when Frenchy was still alive. I saw that he died in 2013 though.
Cornette is a true, genuine, honest wrestling fan's fan. I love him for being so truly devoted to his craft and culture. His genuine appreciation is genuine genius.
Wait, Andre wrestled Plowboy Frazier? I was under the impression they were never allowed to be in the ring together because it would expose that Frazier as tall as Andre.
@@RussellMorrison306 nope, Andre was 6ft 10 also. He was never 7ft 4 in his entire life. He was around 6ft 8 or 6ft 9 in his later years. They most likely had him wear lift boots to give him an extra inch or two, but he was definitely not 7ft 4.
Being a UNCP alum, I spent quite a bit of time in Laurinburg during my college days. Use to frequent a comic book store there called Korner Comics. Anyway, Ellerbe, where Andre's ranch was, is maybe 30 minutes from Laurinburg so this would certainly fit. BTW, at least as of 2006 when I was last in the area, I used to go through the area every week driving back and forth and there is nothing in Ellerbe in any manner that mentions its most famous resident or would indicate he ever lived there.
I've never seen a higher "thumbs up/thumbs down" ratio for the thumbs up than all these segments w/Jim Cornette...he seems to average a 100 likes to about 5 dislikes...that's a HARD ratio to average for 100's of u tube segments week after week for years...I think your awesome JIM! I hope to meet you someday an shake your hand.
I had the privilege of seeing him when I was a kid he wrestled the ultimate warrior in Lincoln Nebraska The dam match only lasted 15 seconds The Warrior came in and bounce off all four ropes and clothesline Andre the giant pin him for the 123
Cornette begging to go backstage to get a picture. If someone did that these days and then did get into the business as a manager Cornette would call him a wannabe and a mark.
falagarius They wouldn't need to go backstage to take a picture when they're too busy trying to take selfies or playing with beachballs during a match.
Doc Malthus Save your breath. After Trump's trashed the economy these hicks will still be blaming Obama. Trumptards are in a permanent state of delusion.
Everybody is an Andre mark don't matter who you are even a non wrestling fan. He himself was a spectacle.
Only one who didnt like him was Bundy.
But, that dude was never really releavant.
Andre was unique. We will never see anyone like him. Once in a lifetime.
You mean a nobody who could live the dream of almost every wrestler to headline Wrestlemania? Far stretch of a nobody if you ask me.@@dennisbowen452
His memory is amazing. Remembers the whole match line up from 1976!
I met Andre back stage in Cincinnati.. When I was a kid.. Had to be 84 85.. It was awesome
@Ra HoWa I think you misunderstood his comment. He's referring to the year
@Ra HoWa Very!
My dad was a police officer here in PR and he saw him when he came for an event in the 80s he says he was very respectful and spoke some spanish

I remember when I heard that andre lived in North Carolina it blew my mind considering it is the state where I live
When Andre shook Jim’s hand, I’m surprised he didn’t mention that Andre’s hand covered his lol.

In walks...Andre...the fucking Giant!!!!!
Wait, Andre wrestled Plowboy Frazier? I was under the impression they were never allowed to be in the ring together because it would expose that Frazier as tall as Andre.
Plowboy Frazier “ Uncle Elmer” was 6’10 Andre the Giant was 7’4
Andre didn't like Frazier (uncle Elmer), not sure why.

Jim Cornettes Terry Funk impression has me DYING 🤣🤣🤣
Andre the Giant "snuck out in the dark?"
It was sort of an eclipse. He hid behind the moon.
Ha!
I mean, if it's pitch black, even a guy as big as Andre can get away without being seen.
