Wade Boggs laughs at these stats


Wade Boggs is impressive, but I still don't think he can beat Andre. Multiple people have claimed he's drank over 200 beers in a day. Plus Andre has variety where Boggs is simply beer. I doubt Boggs could drink 40 vodka tonics in a little over an hour.

Regardless these two should have gotten in a drinking competition on Pay Per View just for the whole world to keep count on the number of beers they could drink and who passes out first.

That's the truth

He also didn't like ultimate warrior and almost decapitated him with a stiff clothesline

He also didn't like some of the black wrestlers; either kamala or bad news brown pulled a gun on Andre

I certainly wouldn't have told a literal giant that drinking 10 gallons of beer before a flight was a bad idea, but thats a bad idea.

Just found this in what may be one of the most iconic pics of all time that I haven't seen:

Hotel toilets, obviously, were too small for him. So he would put newspaper in the bathtub and take "Andre the Giant-sized" shits in the bathtub. He would leave it for hotel staff to clean up.
Can't

stop

laughing

at

this

thought.

He prolly shat on the T-P.

Many women always wondered how big Andre was.

And if he liked you he always bought your drinks

- When asked how much it took him to get drunk, Andre replied “It usually takes two liters of vodka just to feel warm inside.” For the record, that’s over 50% more alcohol than what killed John Bonham (which he drank over a 24 hour period).



So 2 liters is over a half gallon (67.628 oz)..ok that's a lot to just keep warm.

So 1 liter is 33.814 oz. to kill Bonham? That's a mistake.

I think I drank that in a 24 period before..During Mardi Gras... yeah I think so.

Unfortunately I know I did...I was drinking Vodka and Cranberry on Endymion Saturday.. Early Thoth Sunday I shite myself on our way home.

That one I'm thinking is BS. It's not possible his body could have taken or metabolized the alcohol in that time frame.

Which is a problem for him. It's another reason that makes me doubt that specific claim.

Haku stories would also be a worthy thread. That man was insane. Bobby Heenan said Andre was only afraid of 2 men in the world: Harley Race and Haku.

Once, when I was young, we were traveling to Baton Rouge via Hwy 71. We stopped at a rural ice cream stand along the way and saw a number of the Mid South Wrestling guys there in line. I don't remember the. Umber so, but Andre the Giant did have several ice cream cones in each hand when he walked away!

I remember being totally.confused as to why the good guys were riding in vehicles with the bad guys and they were being nice to one another!

CSB:. back in the day, I was a bellman at the Sheraton in Baton Rouge. Andre was a guest once.

He pulled up in a Checker cab. Had to sit in the front with the bench seat pushed all the way back. Poor driver was practically standing up to drive.

I went to the trunk to get his luggage. Andre had aluminum cases. I reached for the first one and it nearly pulled my arm off. Had to weigh over 100 pounds.

He gave out a big laugh, and grabbed it by the edge (his hands would not fit in the handles), picked it up and said, "See, it's not heavy," with that big grin on his face.

He was a very nice guy and a good tipper.

You could be morbidly obese and he would have still been 2 of you.

If he was a legit 529 pounds, that's three 175 pound men.
