What a great match. Slaughter was underrated. He could really sell for the baby face and he could get the crowd hot before the match. Wrestling will never be this good again
@@JohnDoe-kj6wp my Grandfather and a bunch of the other folks from his era thought some matches were fakes but, other matches were real. Like title matches were real because the Athletics Commission would have tk sanction a title match. I remember going to the matches with him in DC back in this time period I was about 7 then. And it was a eye opening experience for sure. He would sit with people he had known for years from boxing and wrestling. Also people of certain ethnicities would all sit together in one section. I think it was the first time I had ever heard different languages. I still can smell the cigar smoke and stale beer!!
One of Andres best matches. I always loved it when Slaughter would get up off the ground, stagger around, then fall right back down. One of the all time great characters !
9:50 mark...Launchpad! Boy, did Andre toss Slaughter a long way. Slaughter really was a solid worker...he made everyone look good. Selling is an art, and Slaughter really was very good at it.
Wow ! Possibly Andre's best match from 1981 on ! Yes , Sgt. Slaughter was a great ring worker too ! I aways loved when Slaughter got knocked to the ground, then he would quickly get up, stumble around dazed for a quick second or two, then flop back down to the ground again ! Great Entertainment !!! This kind of a match would take its toll on Andre's body too, i would think, with all his falling on his knees, back, hips, etc., buts thats pro werstling ! The early-mid 80's were one of the funnest times for wrestling ! Thanks for posting this clip !
It kinda looked like Andre was pissed at the end. The only other time I have seen him move like that when somebody hit him in the jaw with an elbow. The match ended very quickly.
He was not so bulky that he couldn't sell well .... i doubt hecwas over 300lbs despite being billed so but I would believe he was within 20 pound of that . He was 6'4" so 280 or 290 was a good weight for him .
He was 35 right there i remember him wrestling in good condition until the late 80's i was born in 76 and this was round the time my brothers got me hooked on wrestling at 5-6. I was fortunate enough to see him in a good way before he hit his 40's
Holy shit! What a sell by Slaughter at 4:04 Amazing! Wow, this was really amazing to Andre this agile. I was an 80's kid and I just remember Andre lumbering around the ring mostly. He is a FORCE at this point. Really cool to see. Truly unstoppable. The shots of Slaughter in the FOREGROUND still being dwarfed by Andre really puts it in perspective.
That was a very good match, and very interesting one. Never seen it either with Andre and Sgt. Slaughter in match before until now. Thank you for sharing!
Years ago, I bought a PWI magazine and it had a picture of Slaughter trying to put the cobra clutch on Andre the Giant. It was really cool to see the match from which the picture came from! Thank you for uploading this.
This was a pretty good match. Usually Andrea just destroys his opponents, but Sgt was able to get in some good offense !!! I guess Andrea must've really liked Sgt. in real life lol !!!!
What an amazing match. This is as “active” as you will ever see Andre work in a match. A fantastic performance from him. One of his best for sure. And the Sarge was always an amazing seller, great heal, and very hard worker. I really mis these matches and era
Andre will always be in my top three wrestlers. I've never liked or seen slaughter in this old of a match, but watching him here has made me appreciate him now
Entertaining match for sure...Slaughter was a solid working...got tons of heat...but how the hell do you catch a 300 pound guy in mid air off the top rope?!...check out some of Andre's matches in the mid to late 1970's in Japan...he could really move...that's how he became a true legend...massive size, mobility and strength.
Andre was the best wrestler man of all times. Even to this day his passing is still felt , by many including me of course; and for all who knew him . rest in peace andre .🙏🌷
Much life Harley Race, Slaughter could sell for his opponent better than most. He could make the audience believe his opponent was doing serious damage. One of the most underrated wrestlers, and still one of the unsung heroes of a generation that we will never see reincarnated.

Sgt Slaughter was an excellent wrestler and put on quite the show. Here, it looks like he really took a beating. For me, the best wrestlers were always the nimble ones who could really bounce around the ring.
My brother in law was watching wrestling back in the 80s and my 90 year old grandmother came over to the house and took one look at Sgt Slaughter and said " who hit him in the face with a frying pan?"
I am in utter awe watching this. Never had the pleasure of seeing Andre move like this. It's like it finally clicks how really badass he was. I only saw him wrestlemania 3 era and on
At the end of the match. You could paint him green and could have been a great Incredible Hulk from the Ferrigno era of Hulk. Scary as hell to see that coming at you!!
I think Andre was really mad here. He made contact on the headbutts and the foot to the face. There was no "airbrushing" like usual.....poor Sgt. Slaughter....
Andre really could work a match before his body gave out. Hard to believe five years later Andre could barely walk, especially after watching him leap from the ring.
I remember seeing a few seconds of the highlights from this match with the GREAT Warner Wolf, and how after the match MSG was raising the microphones, Andre grabbed one and ripped it out!
WWF @ New York City, NY - Madison Square Garden - March 16, 1981 (21,000+) Televised on the MSG Network and USA Network - featured Vince McMahon on commentary: Yoshiaki Yatsu pinned Baron Mikel Scicluna at 8:39 with a small package SD Jones pinned Johnny Rodz at 9:41 with a diving headbutt after Rodz missed a move off the middle turnbuckle Moondog Rex pinned Rick McGraw at 6:38 with a shoulderbreaker after avoiding a charge in the corner Dominic DeNucci pinned Larry Sharpe at 6:53 with a small package Stan Hansen defeated WWF World Champion Bob Backlund (w/ Arnold Skaaland) via count-out at 12:02 after the champion suffered the loaded lariat on the ring apron, knocking him to the floor; prior to Hansen's entrance, Pat Patterson entered the ring, issued a public challenge to Sgt. Slaughter over the house microphone, and shook the hands of Howard Finkel, Arnold Skaaland, and the champion; prior to the match, Freddie Blassie escorted Hansen to the ring; after the bout, Backlund cleared the ring of his opponent WWF IC Champion Pedro Morales pinned Moondog King at 4:48 with a roll up as King charged at him; prior to the bout, Capt. Lou Albano escorted King ringside Andre the Giant defeated Sgt. Slaughter via disqualification at 7:58 when Slaughter grabbed the referee and used him as a shield when Andre charged at him; prior to the bout, the Grand Wizard escorted Slaughter ringside WWF Tag Team Champion Rick Martel pinned the Hangman at 15:37 with a flip and roll up WWF Tag Team Champion Tony Garea pinned Bulldog Brower at 10:56 with a roll up Tony Atlas pinned Hulk Hogan at 7:08 after crotching Hogan on the top rope; Hogan had his foot on the middle rope during the cover but the referee failed to notice; after the bout, Hogan attacked referee Dick Kroll, bodyslammed him, and gave him a legdrop
Andre had really good matches at this stage of his career with big, physical guys that could sell, and he would sell also for the guys who he respected and who he thought worked well with him. His best matches were with Stan Hansen, but this was another in that mold.
I remember when I was a kid and was just changing the tv channel on a Saturday and discovered WWF I think it was on the USA channel, I was instantly a fan. 😂
If only Andre would have had the surgery around this time and maintained himself he could have competited well into the 90s and possibly early 2000's perhaps still alive today.
@@Rowgue51 I agree. Sadly, by this point in time, it was already too late. If he had the surgery 10 or 15 years before this, he might have lived a longer life.
There’s a new guy from NXT about to join the main WWE roster who apparently had the same disorder as Andre , but had the surgery ...his body looks very similar to Andre but not as big .
Por siempre andré el gigante francés el era de Francia. Y vivió rn un sector rural se creció trabajando con sus padres y después llegó a la ciudad y llegó a Estados Unidos cuando era un adulto joven o io más delgado pero como todo joven con más mosculatura aquí ya cerca de los 40 años de edad más gordito pero siempre tuvo un poder físico destacable eso y fuerza física real. No con esteroides como muchos algunos en esa época y los años 80 tas y 90 tas eso. Grandes recuerdos con estos videos de el iconico andré. El gigante. De Francia.

Dam! Iam 40yrs old and I didn't know andre the giant and stg slaughter was around then I thought they all came out around 1984-85 that when I was watch wrestling in 1984-85 when it was popular
Awesome match solid all the way around. Crowd was really into it. Slaughter could really sell and Andre was a fenom. Plus Vince had some of the best commentary.
He really was a real giant. Throws slaughter around like he’s 50 pounds. Unbelievable, but the more I see him the more I believe all the crazy Andre stories.
If only Sarge had built his body up a little more there's no telling how far he could have gone...He was still a huge star but he could have been THE GUY. Although he's probably a lot better off now having avoided the "Roids".
What a great match. Slaughter was underrated. He could really sell for the baby face and he could get the crowd hot before the match. Wrestling will never be this good again

Well, this match has like 0 athleticism and half of it is them taking a break lol...so, let's hope you're wrong.
To see Andre that quick and nimble was a real treat to watch. Thank you for uploading!
Incredible, Sgt Slaughter is 6'6" 310 lbs !! Andre throws him around like a little kid !!
Andre at his top? very impressive!
this is one of the best Andre matches. those hits look real. slaughter could sell.
One of Andres best matches. I always loved it when Slaughter would get up off the ground, stagger around, then fall right back down. One of the all time great characters !
9:50 mark...Launchpad! Boy, did Andre toss Slaughter a long way. Slaughter really was a solid worker...he made everyone look good. Selling is an art, and Slaughter really was very good at it.
And it looked like near zero give to the ring as well. Solid as if he was hitting the floor.
I liked Andres bench press toss of Sgt when he was getting pinned at 9:30 too, that was perfect.
Wow ! Possibly Andre's best match from 1981 on ! Yes , Sgt. Slaughter was a great ring worker too !

Sgt. Slaughter sold in this match like he was working on commission.
How can you tell when somebody sold against andre or just was hurting
Damn Slaughter could sell. I'm guessing Andre liked him as he did a great job.
OR Andre was legitimately killing him, lol.
stufaman I was thinking that too. Sarge was selling like shawn michaels in this match
stufaman I have never seen Andre beat anyone like that
I think the slaughter got slaughtered for real.
look andre hurt himself with the suplex and sergent sold anyway
It kinda looked like Andre was pissed at the end. The only other time I have seen him move like that when somebody hit him in the jaw with an elbow. The match ended very quickly.
One thing I like about yesterday wrestling it was fun to watch
Slaughter selling like a boss with all the agility of Flair when he sells back in the day
slaughter had an uncanny ability to fly like a ragdoll given his size and build.
Few could sell as good as Slaughter.
Yeah, too many judge Slaughter on his 1990-1992 run where he was in the twilight of his career in his early 40s.
He was not so bulky that he couldn't sell well .... i doubt hecwas over 300lbs despite being billed so but I would believe he was within 20 pound of that . He was 6'4" so 280 or 290 was a good weight for him .
I like unray the best mone.
@@stufaman But he had HHH or Roddy Piper levels of refusing to job clean.
Holy cow! Andre departing the ring! He just leapt off the apron. Too bad this phase of his career (and life) couldn't have lasted longer.
I know! During his brief physical prime he was a legit wonder of the world.
@@lilith4961 yeah! Andre was a great wrestler when he was able! R.I.P. 🙏❤️
He was 35 right there i remember him wrestling in good condition until the late 80's i was born in 76 and this was round the time my brothers got me hooked on wrestling at 5-6.
I was fortunate enough to see him in a good way before he hit his 40's

Holy shit! What a sell by Slaughter at 4:04 Amazing! Wow, this was really amazing to Andre this agile. I was an 80's kid and I just remember Andre lumbering around the ring mostly. He is a FORCE at this point. Really cool to see. Truly unstoppable. The shots of Slaughter in the FOREGROUND still being dwarfed by Andre really puts it in perspective.
I saw them a week before after in Ice World Totowa NJ , I was 9 years old !!
Agreed! That was like a standing pedigree and Slaughter sold it like the Rock taking a stunner!!!
Andre in his prime and he was the Giant!
There will never be another Andre The Giant.
That was a very good match, and very interesting one. Never seen it either with Andre and Sgt. Slaughter in match before until now. Thank you for sharing!
Man Slaughter knew how to take bumps
Years ago, I bought a PWI magazine and it had a picture of Slaughter trying to put the cobra clutch on Andre the Giant. It was really cool to see the match from which the picture came from! Thank you for uploading this.
oh wow, that's cool
Getting headhunter by Andre was like being hit with the world's largest frying pan.
This was a pretty good match. Usually Andrea just destroys his opponents, but Sgt was able to get in some good offense !!! I guess Andrea must've really liked Sgt. in real life lol !!!!
WRASTLINS NOT FAAAKE !!!
Andre respected sgt slaughter as he did for most of the jobbers cuz andre was the king jobber.
Check out Sgt story time episode on WWE Network about Andre. It's great.
Andre would sell but you had better make it look good .
if andre liked you it was back and forth if he hated you it was an asswhooping
Great interview on here about Sgt. Slaughter. What an awesome match!
What an amazing match. This is as “active” as you will ever see Andre work in a match. A fantastic performance from him. One of his best for sure.
And the Sarge was always an amazing seller, great heal, and very hard worker. I really mis these matches and era
Those silver ropes. The Grand Wizard. Andre as a good guy. Miss those early '80s wrestling days.
Andre will always be in my top three wrestlers. I've never liked or seen slaughter in this old of a match, but watching him here has made me appreciate him now
Amazing match....these were the glory days of wrestling! 👍🏾
Slaughter needs to be in the hall of fame
He already is
Wow....a very agile and impressive Andre. Sad how he deteriorated just 4 or 5 yrs later
In his early years, Andre was pretty mobile for a man his size. R.I.P. Andre. 🙏
Andre will always be my favorite wrestler . never will be another even close
oK!
I was pissed when he lost to hogan and i was around 5. Are you one of the other 3 people that was too?
Too bad he was a racist sack of shit
@@kevinfightsbears cool.
@@kevinfightsbears F You LIAR!!!
i think this is Andre's best Match..
its the firsth time i see André moving that way on the ring...awesome
Andre did top rope too. Go back further, and he moves even better.
@@suco69 very true.
What is up with YOUR Evil User Name! You are Life's Loser!!!
Do you know the KILLING the WWE would make if they release a BEST OF MSG matches from the 70's & 80's forget it!!!!!!
I know they would!!!!! And i would be thr 1st to buy it🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Don't forget all the other properties they own, like Stampede
Entertaining match for sure...Slaughter was a solid working...got tons of heat...but how the hell do you catch a 300 pound guy in mid air off the top rope?!...check out some of Andre's matches in the mid to late 1970's in Japan...he could really move...that's how he became a true legend...massive size, mobility and strength.
You can always tell who Andre liked, by who he sold for - sarge as a case in point.
Bill Eadie/masked superstar too.
Back when there were great characters!
Bear hugs a 305lb man like it's nothing.
And catches Slaughter in mid air at 9:03
Andre was the best wrestler man of all times. Even to this day his passing is still felt , by many including me of course; and for all who knew him . rest in peace andre .🙏🌷
Slaughter was a bump machine

Great match old school wrestling is the best 👌
This is the first time I've ever seen Andre do a suplex!!!
Absolutely amazing. Huge smile watching this.
Okay Andre looked really mad here. And boy he also seemed very strong and agile..
Patrick deJong I agree I’ve never watched many of his matches when he was younger and healthy. Gotta say he was amazing in the ring.
@@MrEddyk3 he was already on the downhill slide. Watch him and Killer Kohlwaski. I probably butchered the name. You can see Andre fly.
Patrick deJong He had a broken ankle and spinal surgery in the next two years. After those, he was messed up.
Running into a giant butt is no fun it probably felt like getting hit by a Mack truck.
Love wrestling. Wwe raw. Smackdown live. Nxt. And love all the fighters. Miss Andre the giant and crew from 70es 80es and 90es. Rip Harley race.
Remember the Sgt Slaughter GI Joe figure?
It was based on him
@@mathewstephens201 and he did his own voice on the GI Joe cartoon under his real name, Bob Remus.
Had one along with the Fridge Perry
He was pushed to the moon on that show. Whole regiments of Cobra soldiers sold every move like they were being clocked by Thanos.
I still have the Sgt Slaughter and the Refrigerator Perry figure too.
I miss Andre. A true Giant 😢😢
This was an Épic Battle, but André is much Bigger Than The good Old Sargeant
This Andre would own Warrior
Sgt. Slaughter was 140 Kg at the time ? Look at 9:29 how much was the strenght of Andre !
Brett hart wasn't kidding andre could really work in his hey day
Those Irish whips by Andre were no joke ..

Back when Andre was still able to run around the ring. His health and mobility declined so quickly in the next couple of years.
I think that is probaply one of the best matches ever. Sgt is exellent and andre moves smoothly.
I am in utter awe watching this. Never had the pleasure of seeing Andre move like this. It's like it finally clicks how really badass he was. I only saw him wrestlemania 3 era and on
WOW. Wrestling has changed so much over the years. This era was best too much acting now.
Andre was big, quick and could wrestle. Amazing
At the end of the match. You could paint him green and could have been a great Incredible Hulk from the Ferrigno era of Hulk. Scary as hell to see that coming at you!!
I love all these old characters!

I'm glad they had Andre a back to a good guy towards the end of his life
This one match is better than any big event that wwe could put on today in 2020
Andre was as quick as Rey Jr...chasing Slaughter..
Andre & the Wild Samoans have the same hair doo.
Cool! Weird to see Slaughter with hair (it's even starting to go away here).
This was great!! Love seeing Andre before he lost too much of his mobility. I wish someone would post videos of him from the LA territory in the 70’s.
I remember seeing a few seconds of the highlights from this match with the GREAT Warner Wolf, and how after the match MSG was raising the microphones, Andre grabbed one and ripped it out!
André's strenght was not «fake» at all. Its obvious.
yep the way he tossed off sgt was incredible you only won or got a pin or slam if he let you.
I heard he was angry once at some hecklers and overturned their car! He was THAT STRONG!!!
@@timothyward2082 yes that was in Montréal
You only need to see 9:03 to know.
@@timothyward2082 with 4 grown men inside it
Andre used to move people's cars in tight spaces as a joke also
It's a shame he died so young such a good wrestler and a beast
It looks very incredible that Andre is running seeing how much he weighs and how long and strong he is
So much energy Andre still had there, Great to see!!

this was a great match, boy could andre move when he wanted too, at least at this time period.

Looking back slaughter did a amazing job selling this, more respect looking back you realise I admire the pathos
Wrestling needs to bring back managers like the grand wizard one of the best talkers in the business.
This Andre could've been WWF champ. Shame he never had a real run with it.
People said he refused it, saying he only wanted to be the giant.
He didnt need a belt to get over
Wwf back in those days didnt over expose andre, and he spent alot of time wrestling outside of usa too.. less is more, a title would've hindered him
And how'd you get it off of him?...
Dam! Iam 40yrs old and I didn't know andre the giant and stg slaughter was around then I thought they all came out around 1984-85 that when I was watch wrestling in 1984-85 when it was popular
Very nice from the old days.
Awesome match solid all the way around. Crowd was really into it. Slaughter could really sell and Andre was a fenom. Plus Vince had some of the best commentary.
I like to see this wrestling match at no way out is no way out for Sgt. Slaughter
Gotta love the Grand Wizard pointing at Andrea so funny 🤣🤣🤣
I loved it when Slaughter ran into Andre's big giant ass and fell onto the mat in complete agony!
He really was a real giant. Throws slaughter around like he’s 50 pounds. Unbelievable, but the more I see him the more I believe all the crazy Andre stories.
Good lord!! The ref is huge
If only Sarge had built his body up a little more there's no telling how far he could have gone...He was still a huge star but he could have been THE GUY. Although he's probably a lot better off now having avoided the "Roids".
Sarge in his heel prime.
Andre never figured out how to do a suplex. He always knocked himself out when he used the hold.
