I was coming to post the Yao, Shaq, Hart one. It’s hilarious.

But pics like that are awesome. It’s absolutely incredible to me how large some humans beings are. Arnold is legit huge on his own, and he legit looks like a child next to Andre and Wilt. shite is insane.

I was thinking of this one.

But no Andre.

Andre used to travel the country with referee Tim White as his handler before the wrestling world changed in 1984.

The car they rode in would have a trailer carried behind it to keep all his beer in it.



Unrelated tidbit

Back in late 70's, met The Samoan's at KOA in DS. They were staying in a tent.

Here’s a pretty cool video of Jake the Snake talking about Andre the giant with Rogan

Not sure who made the transfer from tub to toilet but a fun fact nonetheless.


Is all the same pipes, they go to the same place. They probably just squished it down the drain.

This one always makes me laugh.


That’s clearly shopped or has some camera trickery. Shaq is only 5 inches shorter than Ming

So unless Ming’s entire neck and head is 5 inches long, that’s fake

I read also that Andre had to get hotels that had a tub.

He didn’t fit on a regular toilet.

God, between his alcoholism and his eating habits you know those shits had to be horrific

According to Ric flair, Andre drank every bottle of vodka on the plane on a flight from Chicago to Tokyo.

That's the one that always gets me. I struggle to wrap my head around how big Yao Ming really is.

Andre is a pretty amazing cultural phenomenon. It seems like no matter who is being interviewed, if there is a wrestling or a Princess Bride connection, that person is always asked about Andre. People are just so fascinated with him.

Saw Arnold when he was a commencement speaker for Emory U. in about 2009 or 2010. He walked right by me, and he looks all of 6'0, at most. Most of the professors in the procession were taller than him.

I saw Arnold once in person and he really isn’t that tall at all


I saw him at his show. I thought he would be taller as well. If he claims 6'2" than that is very generous. Lou Ferrigno was there also. He is much taller than Arnold.

Completely off topic but not really, Ronnie Coleman is actually short. I bet he isn't 5'10". I used to see him in my old gym every once in a while in Monroe about the same time he won his first Mr. O. Granted he was a fricking monster size wise but he is not tall.
