    Did you catch the fact that when the interviewer asked Andre to have a seat, Andre motioned for the host to sit first. Class act.

Randy Savage, Jake the Snake, Big John Stud, the Iron Shiek, and apparently the Ultimate Warrior. He was human. But imagine living like that nothing is built to accommodate you in travel or hotels even the toilets. I imagine that would be even more challenging in Japan a guy like that they really should have made some custom arrangements. Imagine having to use the bath tube as the toilet it had to be a very annoying thing to deal with and the few times he went after someone it really was because they usually were being very disrespectful.

    it was so sad seeing this legend, bigger than life personality towards the end of his career, suffer so much and hardly able to walk due to his condition, one of my favourite andre moments has to be his face turn at wrestlemania 6 seeing the crowd erupt when he grabs bobby heenan and leave on his own to a standing ovation. both andre and heenan are sorely missed to this day and will never be forgotten.

To me that is true class act & the measure of a man is his word as his bond. Andre was such a professional. The admiration Hulk Hogan has for him to this day still touches my ❤️ & soul. Andre is most definitely 1 of the 4 on my Mount Rushmore of wrestling legends.

    I met André Ferré around that time. He was very nice. A gentle giant. I was working at the reception of a Motel in Rimouski Qc. Once a week there was a wrestling event at the arena. Most of the wrestlers were staying at our place. The first time i saw him he was sitting on the back seat of a convertible cadillac driven by his good friend Edouard Carpentier. Sometimes he slept on the floor beside the bed. When he was in the lobby it felt like we were in a doll house. When he walked in the dining room, everybody stopped eating. When he shook your hand it was embarrassing lol. He could drink 100 cans of beer in a day.
