Heenan was also close friends with Andre the Giant and claimed that the only two men in the world that Andre feared were Meng and Harley Race.

Meng=Haku for those who didn't follow wrestling back in the day.

maybe Tyrus in his prime against Andree in his prime would go a few rounds.

Good luck hurting a guy whose head was as big as a 5 gallon bucket. His hands were enormous. Once he got hold of your wrists you'd be fricked seven ways to Sunday.

The Iron Sheik. That guy was the real deal, they say if he had really wanted to he could have tied Hulk Hogan in a knot and hardly broke a sweat doing so



The only match I ever saw with Andre was against the Iron Sheik in 1984, Dayton Hara Arena. Absolutely amazing to see Andre in person.

No, the Sheik could not have beaten Andre. The Sheik was a very large man in real life, listed at 6 foot, 250-260 lbs. I cannot express to you how disappointed I was to see the matchup against Andre. It felt cheap putting the Sheik in there against him. Andre literally dwarfed him. It looked like a Division I linebacker against a 10-year-old.
