Paid Members Linus Posted May 4, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted May 4, 2015 Looks more like Inoki... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krytie 2X4B 523P Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 definitely Inoki. Baba's arms were a lot skinnier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted May 4, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted May 4, 2015 Actually, I think it may be Strong Kobayashi. The website I found the picture said it was v Giant Baba, though. Â Oh well, great pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rule One Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 All of the following are of Andre with various people, I can't name them all but will try where I can. Sorry if any are reposts:  Andre with celebrities. (Michael Douglas and I vaguely recognise the other two but I can't name them.)  Andre and Giant Baba in a WWF ring/Stare down with Demolition.  The next two are of Andre getting off AJPW and NJPW touring buses, I believe they are from 1982 and 1983.  Andre nursing a broken leg.  Andre peeking through a curtain.  Andre Splashing and STFing Inoki   Andre tombstoning an opponent.  Andre in a bar.  Andre showing how big his hand is.  Andre being slammed by Inoki and Tatsumi Fujinami.  Andre delivering a pedigree to an opponent.

Mattyc Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 With the exception of the Debbie Harry picture all of those Andre pictures are new to me, fantastic posts. Is there any back story behind the Andre/Baba stare down with Demolition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted May 5, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) First time I had seen that one as well. I think Baba & Andre had a match with Demolition in Japan at the Japanese event where Hogan faced Stan Hansen. "Wrestling Summit" in 1990, I think. Picture must have been taken at an American event to hype up the match and used in the Japanese magazines. Â Here is a link to official highlights of the match: http://www.wwe.com/videos/andre-the-giant-giant-baba-vs-demolition-wrestling-summit-tokyo-april-13-1990-26054509 Edited May 5, 2015 by bAzTNM#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted May 5, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted May 5, 2015 Those Andre in Japan photos (specifically the Tombstone/STF/Pedigree ones) make me realise that despite the fact he holds a place in my heart as one of my earliest favourite wrestlers, I've actually seen very little of his wider body of work, and what I have seen was when he was becoming increasingly limited by his actual wider body. Â Need to rectify that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
