handspants Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Corino went round his house with one of the boys and had a word with him a few years ago due to him stiffing Corino too. Hopefully the word was that. Can someone resize that? thanks.
TheShowOff Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 One would assume he doesn't sleep on it to avoid pain.
Guest Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Hopefully he has painkillers doing that for him. I've had stitches in a similar area, although obviously not from a broken neck. It's pretty hard not to lie on your back once during a night's sleep

TheShowOff Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Saw that on Reddit earlier. Do you think it's legit? He was still alive at the start of the boom, and wrestling in Mexico late in his life. I can imagine that scene capatilising on the popularity and shoving a bunch of wrestlers in costumes.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted June 30, 2015 Paid Members Posted June 30, 2015 Its definitely real. Andre has the death afro. That photo was taken when he was working shows when he could barely walk in 92. And Turtles characters were everywhere at the time.
King Pitcos Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Jesus, people had him wrestling in 1992? I remember him on the tour in 1991, staggering to the ring with a walking stick as Bulldog's manager.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted June 30, 2015 Paid Members Posted June 30, 2015 Yeah. The matches are exactly how you'd imagine. Look at the state of him post-WWF. Andre wrestled Cactus Jack of all people on one show. EDIT: Here's Andre wrestling a few weeks before he died. The man is so fucked.
TheShowOff Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Andre hit some of the most majestic elbow drops known to man in Mexico. Bless him
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted June 30, 2015 Paid Members Posted June 30, 2015 I thought André was with the WWF until his death? One of my first WWF VHS tapes was WrestleMania VII. I was about 11 years old, heard about the legend that was André, and was then severely disappointed when I saw him hobbling his way to the ring.
Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 30, 2015 Paid Members Posted June 30, 2015 No, he was fucking about in Japan and Mexico with massive hair wearing different coloured singlets after he left WWF. Couldn't obviously do anything and held the ropes almost all the time. 92 was even after the Turtles boom, that was 1989/90
Michael_3165 Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Good lord thats a sad state Andre was in. He had no business being in the ring at this point. That elbow for the finish was terrible! It was like he was worried about breaking himself
KingOfVHS Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Yeah. The matches are exactly how you'd imagine. Look at the state of him post-WWF. Andre wrestled Cactus Jack of all people on one show. EDIT: Here's Andre wrestling a few weeks before he died. The man is so fucked. His faxce @ 3 seconds in looks like he's abou to cry.
TheShowOff Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I thought André was with the WWF until his death? Nope, and ironically his last US television appearance was on WCW.
