Nobody can slam Andre unless he helps you pick him up
I reckon if he was tired someone could catch him by surprise
@@RDoubleTake Dude, are you high?? He weighed over 500 lbs.!! Nobody was going to slam him back then without him going along with it.
I know alot of times when the wrestler goes to scoop the opponent, the slamee will kinda give a little boost to help with the lift, but i just watched "the slam" a few times and there was no assistance there man, Andre couldn't boost his weight at ALL. Hogan scooped him up pretty swiftly and turned him over and released. It wasn't pretty at all, but that's pretty much all he could do😅
Harley Race said big man Slam or get SLAMMED
@@TH-cam_This warrior slammed him clean nightly a few years later. Andre was even heavier and in worse shape. Didn't realize Jim was that strong.
If only Andre had lived long enough for shoot interviews we'd get the true version
I love watching old footage of Andre
Although, we would need subtitles or a translator.
This probably IS the Truth. Pro Wrestlers are Pro for a reason, they guage the crowd. From what I can gather, that's exactly how Andre wanted this to be done. If the crowd would have never gotten behind Hogan, Andre would never have put him over.
@@Gambit22003 Or did Hogan work the crowd to his favour?
@@RDoubleTake oh definitely! Ppl hate on him now, but early Hogan was every child's hero back then.
Seen this happen in real time as a kid.. blew my mind. Miss those days
That's awesome.... it's a shame we don't have these kind of great's in WWE anymore.
@@RDoubleTake I know.. I watch MMA now because of that very reason. Back in the early 80s every wrestler had style and great gimmicks. Truly miss the golden years of wrestling
I remember as well!
We watched it at an auditorium in Richmond CA on a big screen with hundreds of people. Everyone was going crazy during this match. That whole event was epic.
Saw... get some grammar.
I still believe the failed slam at the beginning that kayfabe "injured" Hogan's back was done deliberately to slow the match down to a pace that Andre could handle considering he could barely move.
I've never thought about that...
The ref counting to 3 helped stall the match
You make a very good point. I'm actually considering that as the legit reason now
Very good point.
It made a great story. Hogan always used the body slam to set up the leg drop, and it was doubtful that he could do it to Andre.
At the start of the match, Hogan was raging at Andre, and it seemed that the slam was a lapse in judgement that cost him the match. Indeed Hogan was never in the match until he gets that slam and ends it.
I have a soft spot for that match, it did such a good job with the ingredients available.
Say what you want... hulk hogan was the first biggest star and managed to last through multiple generations over several decades.
This.... how many generations did he reach!
He's not even 7 decades old.
@@LayneStaley-zl2iq look up the definition
@@LayneStaley-zl2iq he means all the generations of people that he managed to stay in touch with
Hogan is legend like him or not he Rock that shit when I was a kid and made that shit fun to watch…
I was 9 when WM3 happened. It was the first PPV I ever saw live. I had 0 doubt Hogan was winning the main event. And I felt that way because it was very clear the torch had been passed years earlier. This wasn't 'solidifying his title' he had been champ for 3 years, literally the entire time I had been aware of the WWF. The WWF cartoon, Hogan was the leader and Andre was one of his sidekicks. It was a huge match, all the hype was behind that thing. And I think it was very important to both their legacies to have that feud as Andre's last real hurrah and making it clear Hogan had no more mountains to climb. But to me, the story is that this ended the time of champs who stayed champ forever. People talk about great champs now, they talk about 16 time, 14 time, etc. Back in the day this Roman Reigns title run wouldn't even be that big a deal historically. Hell, Hogan had been champ longer than Reigns when he faced Andre. There were 2 WWWF champions in the entire 1960's. 7 in the 70's. 6 in the 80's. We go through that in a year sometimes. But after this, they realized that to keep Hogan and the company interesting, they had to have him lose the belt sometimes, even if just to win it back. After he beat Andre, what was really left unless they created guys who could beat him? And so they did and in the 90's we jump to 41 different champions. In recent times, practically anyone can become champion, even if just for a night only to drop it back at Raw the next night.
I hear you and I agree with this
One of the greatest moments of my life. Reverberates 35 years later.
Did you get to watch it live?
@@RDoubleTake i was like 3. So. Ya but the couple hundred other times i watched it i fully appreciated it. Savage Steamboat is my favorite match of all time.
@@wmsmith7346Where Savage flew off the top turnbuckle with the ring bell?
@@sonnygoulette675 ya pushed by Animal Steele. God I love that match. I still get excited watching it. Funny it was choreographed though, but I'd even put it over Steamboat-Flair trilogy WCW.
@wmsmith7346 Savage was probably not very well liked at the time, but he's my favorite. The man could put on a show. I can't ever remember him being out of character. Then I saw him on TH-cam calling Hogan out for real and I realized something. All he had to do was remember his lines. The character was who he actually was.
This is like the 4th version of this story he’s told.
If you watch the second body slam, Andre planted his hand on Hogan’s leg, jumped in to his arms, and that’s what allowed him to be completely turned over for the slam.
First time Andre basically sat down on him to show Hogan that Andre is still the boss.
But all very similar
I’ve heard this story three times now, all from hogans mouth and every one of them was different
They are the same story,he’s just a liar 😂😂😂
I've herd the story many time. There all the same. Word for word.
I heard him say the same story many times about WM3.
Which do you think is the real story?
As a kid it was like witnessing the impossible, what a great story behind it. It was a great battle to behold!
I can only imagine how epic this woulda been to see in person
It's amazing how much power & respect Andre had.
One of the GOAT's
The 8th wonder of the world is definitely on that Mount Rushmore. With hogan, Rick flair and I’m having a hard time picking the 4th one.
Perhaps undertaker or stone cold. Maybe macho man does deserve to be there.
@@shroomgod1990Good Company!
Hulk is such a legend, I had his action figures and a ring in the mid 80's as a kid, we LOVED him and always will. Now that im old I appreciate what he did even more, it wasnt easy.
We also REALLY love Andre, he was larger than life no one will ever top him.
I don't know much about Professional Wrestling these days. But I remember Hulk holding Andre the Giant up and body slamming him. It was insane back in the day because nobody thought it was possible. I miss the good old days of WWF
The good ole days!
Everybody knew hogan was winning that match except for hogan evidently lol
It seems like this is the case!
Nah....that was the plan. But Andre would do what Andre wanted to do. Just because it was the plan, that didn't mean he would do it, especially if he got mad. That's why Hogan was asking a lot of times.
That’s not true at all wrestling was viewed differently back then. Andre had been the biggest star in wrestling for 15 years before turning heel. The crowd didn’t have a clue who was going to win.
That’s the way it should be 😂
I’m starting to think Hulk Hogan been rocking’ that handlebar mustache since he was a baby😅
come out with fluff all over his face
Hogan left out the part when he tried to bodyslam Andre the first time. Hogan picked Andre up and while Andre fell on Hogan, Andre was farting the entire time. That's why Andre was smiling when he looked at the referee Joey Marella.
I can't imagine it going any other way
He literally said I tried to pick him up earlier in the match
@@The_Garmin_Guruhe didnt mention the farting part.
@@The_Garmin_Guruyou literally didn’t read the comment all the way before trying to rudely correct them.
Andre could beat anyone anytime he wanted, no one could beat him but he knew that it was time. Andre hurt was in pain all the time so that's why he did what he did with hogan
Imagine being that big, I'm not surprised Andre was in pain all the time.
I saw this one too! This is the truth. Andre was tired
Hulk saw the opportunity and took it
I heard one story where Andre and Hogan were drinking Crown Royal for 3 hrs before the match to help kill the pain The Giant was in?
Say what you want but Hulk Hogan is the reason wrestling became a worldwide phenomenon
100%
Actually Andre` is the reason wrestling became a phenomenon.. because he decided to pass the torch!!
The hazing Terry took from Andre was insane... I cant imagine how Hogen felt to become the next champ.
It's amazing how Hogan can do voice impression of most all the other wrestlers
It's crazy even the hulk knew the respect that manages passed to him
Great has to respect great
Andre was a genius in the ring. He told the opponent exactly what move to make and when while in the ring. Sometimes, he would make audibles in the ring without a script for who won and how.
This! Imagine having to react on the fly if he changes his mind
I remember this match. My first time ever watching wresteling. My dad looks like Andre lol. Been hooked ever since.
I spent my childhood in the late 70's & early 80's watching wrestling, thinking it was real. It's so satisfying to me watching these videos now in my 50's, hearing how they worked it all out behind the scenes.
hogan stated recently he tore both biceps when he turned andre before putting him down..and then proceed to wrestle in shows after that with them both torn because he couldnt take the time off for surgery because of the title
They had it tough back in the day
That, to me, is still THE most epic match I've ever seen. Yeah, others were very close. But when the hulk lifted the giant, Man! My inner hulkster still yells!
Iconic
Andre the giant is a GOAT. RIP Giant.
One of the greatest!
One of the most memorable moments of my childhood!
One of the best!
The slam heard around the UNIVERSE
And still reverberates till today!
I'll always love Hulk muthafukn Hogan
A true GOAT
Assuming time isn’t a factor, I think the only people in the WWE who could’ve actually posed a real chance at lifting Andre are Brock Lesnar or Mark Henry.
Andre did what Hogan never did, pass the torch
Because it got stolen from him..
@@RDoubleTake behave
Andre seems like hulk from ragnarok
Haha he really is
Parents died thinking wrestling was real.
It still is!
Lol 😂 he do the funniest Andre the giants impressions
Giving me flashback!
My parents were outta town alot so I watched WWF with my grandmother, she'd be into it as much as me ...or into me being so into something, and I clearly remember this fighr....I wanted to slam her in middle of the living room and we both ended up on the floor in a biggest evee pillow fighr in our flat - it was fucking unforgetable....and while we were rolling there our country was burning down in ex-Yugoslavia civil war.....grans was very wise and always let me blow off steam with "the madmen" as she called them, instead of watching the real news programs and I think that move by her gave me much more of a childhood then I'd otherwise remember
This is very wholesome
Those days were the best days of wrestling!
FUCKKING AINT REAL MY FREIND
"Okay, I'm worried" 😂😂😂
There is no way in hell that they didn’t know the finish to the biggest wrestling main event of all time. But I appreciate Hogan’s kayfabe tendencies here.
Wresting and Hogan and hulkamania were so popular back then that slamming Andre actually made the news...
lmfao about passing the torch. Hogan already had it for some time mind you.
One of the GOAT's
The crazy thing nobody ever mentions about that historic match is that it was only 10 minutes long lol
Talks like he was an actual fighter! 😂
The hits were real! Just not full force!
Now in another interview Hogan said that he and Andre sat and wrote down the match on a yellow LegalPad, but kept the finish until the ring.
He also said that Andre was drinking Crown Royal the whole day, which I am inclined to believe.
Bruce Prichard said on a podcast that Vince McMahon would not have allowed his biggest match of all time to not have a finish.
There are two sides to every story.
Hogans is never the truthful one.
interesting
I wouldn't believe him if he told me the sky was blue
What if I told you it was actually clear?
@@RDoubleTake Ahh yes but it LOOKS blue 😁
I just found my wrestling characters from. 80s and my lil neices love them lol
Thats wholesome
Andre the giant shared the wealth.
The real BFG
Wanna know how to tell when Hogan is lying? He's opening his mouth.
Not all the time hahah
As if the first failed slam wasn’t planned that way complete bs.
I don't think it was
I remember watching this match as a young'en on our 13inch black and white TV...I couldn't believe the Hulkster body slammed the Giant!!! It didn't appear, nor does it sound like he believed it either!!!🤔😜🍻
That's awesome! I bet it was amazing experiencing that first time round
Man, I just turned 5 at this time. This is what turned me into a fan
He said in the HBO interview that the match he wrote it out
Did he?
@@RDoubleTake yes the Andre the giant documentary check it out it's really good 👍
You don't beat Andrea unless he let's you
He had to pass the torch eventually 🔥
'oh really Hulk? please, tell us more!'
That was the beginning of hulkamania 🤗👍🏿👍🏿
Andre should have also taught Hogan how to pass the torch
its been said if adrea didn't like you it would be hell for you and its been said if.he like you it was nothing he wouldn't do for you
Imagine if Andre didn't like you.....
@@RDoubleTake no story been told heard. he hated randy savage also heard he respected Ahmad Johnson they was argue on tour bus ahmad told Andrea to get off the bus
@@RDoubleTake He certainly didn't like a couple of punks that were messing with him one time, so he turned their car over with them in it.
Andre lost only when Andre decided to lose. All wrestlers have said the same thing. He was incredibly strong, but was slowly dying from his condition.
These videos are awesome !
Glad you like them!
Kamala slammed andre the best
Laughs in *Harley Race!*
Should have asked him about the japan hotel story 😂
Oh wait, thats not public knowledge
Wait what happened in Japan
@@RDoubleTake could be the story where Andre was drinking all day and had a match that night and he did the butt to face move on the corner of the ring and he had liquid shit and shit all over the guys face/chest
You have to remember, Andre at that time was close to a thousand pounds 💪🏻 and the entire Population of the US inside the Silverdome brother...and the rest of the world watching on TV📺 brother
I remember that night❤
One of the best
Can't trust a single word from Hogan.
he slammed him earlier in his career and so did warrior he acts like it's some major thing
He doesn't act like it's a major thing wwe made it a major thing
Andre the Nephilim gene
I'm glad that now that Hogan is older he isn't the hero of his stories he's putting the likes of big John Tenta over he's finally starting to admit he is built for show not go.
I agree with this, he props up others
Hogan didn't know the finish until it happened. And I'm the King of Scotland.
Wasnt the first time he body slammed him.
Wasn't the first time anyone had slammed him lol
Irony is yhat hogan never passed the torch
Saw that on live TV with my old man, I was 8 years old.
To bad Hulk never passed the torch to anyone else.
This is true... the lightening was stolen from him!
Wait… did he have a torch to pass? Jk
Passed it to Goldberg.
Ultimate warrior.
Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man, King Kong Bundy, Brock Lesnar, Lex Luger, Undertaker all got over on Hulkamania. History is there, don't ignore it.
Hogan told a very different story on Andre the Giant’s documentary.
What a great way to become the champ surprise!
could you imagine
hey Terry tell us about your early paving days!
Imagine if he told all his stories!
@@RDoubleTakethe heat was so bad we would start the day with 6 and finish with 2 or 3 nearly every day in July.
Hulk speaks truth.
Take hella strength to slam the giant! Thats a lot of weight.
Could you imagine
@RDoubleTake not really lol. I might as well be trying to lift a car lol.
I was there for that match great match hulk
I bet it was awesome!
I remember that match Epic👍🏻👍🏻
It really was that memorable
Hulk if this story happened at Wrestlemania III then go back and watch it
Wrestlemaia...Silverdale 1987
Kamala slammed andre in the early 80s maybe in mid south Hogan was not the first
But was it as epic?
Just passed the torch.... WHAT???
Someone had too
I live the Hulkster but he sucks at storytelling lol. Now this Dirty Dutch guy is a legend at it.
He speaks with alot of emotion
I watched that match with my cousins when I was a kid.
Andre weighed 975 pounds, BROTHER 🥴🥴🥴🥴🫠🫠🫠🫠
Liar, liar, Hulksters on fire! Andre weighed over 600lbs at the time according to Hulk. Hulk also said he tore every muscle in his back when he slammed Andre.
"Didn't know the finish" like Vince would have a main event and the wrestlers in the match don't know the ending, come on
I have the same shirt!! And I love it!!
Nice!
Hogan just can't stop lying
Truest thing I ever herd this man speak. “ I don’t know shi👍
One of the most iconic moments in sports/entertainment history ....but Hogan and his fictional stories are head scratching. I guess he thinks just saying it makes it true.🤪
Haha, isn't history written by the victors?
When hogan pick up the giant slam him that hurt hogan's back for sure
Wrestle mania 3 Pontiac michigan
John cena lifted big show. John cena is much shorter than hulk. Est. 4-5 inches. Big show is similar in height and weight to andre.
But Andre weight a ton
Hogan’s stories are choreographed about as good as his matches were. 🤡
Hahaha he makes them up as he goes on
Andre was awesome!
The best!
Not for a second, do I believe this story.
