He is the pinnacle of what every wrestler should be, always a team player and took his job very seriously. Many people only remember the Andre of later years when due to his health he could barely move, but did his best anyways unlike some of todays superstars who just wing it. This was wrestlings first legitimate superstar and the reasons for this was the way he carried himself, how he did what he could to help other wrestlers and put on the best show he could every night. Every single wrestler in the locker room respected him. His matches always had the crowd on their feet and he packed auditoriums wherever he went. A tv and movie star on occassion but wrestling was always his first love. He performed right till his death in 1993 and his match with hogan was the biggest match in history. Anyone who says this man was overrated has absolutlely no clue about him or wrestling in general. This man is the benchmark that all other wrestlers are compared to! For the record Andre was 6'11.
