I have no idea WHAT the heck language he speaks, but he ain't speakin' english, that's for sure.


Anywhoo...........the guy is big..........(7' + and they say he's 420lbs.).......but even moreso than Andre or Big Show, he's actually fairly muscular. He's a solid 420!!!


I would assume that this guy also has gigantism?????

You sure he's not from "parts unknown"? 😉

My Dad went to Wrestlemania 3 at the Pontiac Silverdome. He stands fairly tall himself at 6'5". To this day he says one of the most amazing sights he ever saw in his life was Andre walking towards the ring. Standing on ground level, he really got a feel for a size of the man.

actually he is under 500 lbs. but its good for TV.


but yeah he is pretty damn big also. h e moves ok for a big guy to and is willing to do some crazy stuff. getting surplexed off the top rope can't be good for a guy that big.

Seems like he may be done with wrestling from all the back pain he says he has. Probably a combo from all the wrestling plus his great size. Luckily for him he has personality and from what I hear he's a nice dude and could be in lots of movies if he wanted.


That A&E special on Andre was excellent. I wish I had the opportunity to watch him perform at his prime when he was throwing dudes all around the ring like rag dolls.

Classic. The Andre documentary mentioned that during the match he was in great pain and wanted to make Hogan look as good as possible. Hogan gets pretty choked up when he talks about Andre during interviews. You can see he will always appreciate all that Andre did for him.

Man i remember this like it was yesterday. I ordered the pay per view and to this day that made the hair on my back stand. The second was when the ultimate warrior beat hogan and hogan gracefully gave him the belt.
 
There was a Russian kid with a tumor on his pituitary gland that was documented in one of my health books back in high school. The kid was about 6' 10", but looked and was proportioned like the twelve (might have been as old as fourteen, I can't recall) year old kid that he was. They had a picture of him standing between two adults, it looked like someone had photochopped them down to midget size next to a normal sized kid.

The book stated that they had been able to remove the tumor and his insane growth rate had stopped, but who knows what other long term health effects he might suffer from?

He was in the remake. I don't think he has gigantism.. or atleast the IMDB profile doesn't mention it. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1724637/

I think Hogan ripped his lats when he slammed Andre.
 
you light weights. 😉

119 in six hours is a bit much, but I have been able to down 48 in a roughly 24 hour period. The most I have done was out of a keg overnight...don't know how many beers it was but I was alcohol poisioned in the morning.

Most are drinking to drink, not because they are looking to get drunk or intoxicated quicker.
