Mark Henry being a big Andre the Giant fan makes sense: he's told the story about having a conversation with Vince around when he first got there, where he said his grandmother used to take him to the wrestling shows. And at one particular show, the kids behind him crowded him and pushed him over the bike rack barricade face first while they were all trying to get close to Andre during his entrance. He said Andre lifted him up one handed and stood him back up behind the barricade. And from then on, he knew wanted to be a part of the business. Andre stoked that love in Mark.
My Great Aunt didn't like New York Style of Wrestling *"She loved that Southern Style"* but She would tune in to WWF Television 📺 just to see Andre The Giant and Junkyard Dog 🐕.. She always found those 2 to be handsome to her..
@@shrews12001 I was old enough to notice by that point.. She would always mention Georgia Championship Wrestling/NWA/WCW more over than WWF.. My Mother and My Great Aunt couldn't stand Hulk Hogan back then lol... But My Great Aunt loved Andre The Giant and Junkyard Dog.. The Only Reasons she would watch New York.. While My Mother didn't care for it she always liked Surfer Sting, The Tag Team Mr. Wrestle #1 and Mr. Wrestle #2 and Nikita koloff (I got research the correct spelling)..

I saw André when he was '' Le géant Ferré '' in the early 70's in Montreal and he was pretty fast for a giant and he was lean. So many good memories and we were blessed with so much talents
@@warshipsatin8764 Andre was trained by Edouard Carpentier when he arrived from France. Carpentier was THE first high-flying wrestler, having been a circus acrobat before wrestling.
I mean, shit, she spent the latter part of the 90s and then the early 2000s being called a trashbag Ho by everyone from Jericho to her own father. She at least deserves to call Andre her best friend. I think it's rather sweet, how much she (both figuratively and literally) looked up to Andre.

Damn straight I don’t care how distasteful it is.......you see that photo of young Stephanie in tiny shorts just prior to being 18. Macho took that ass
Isn't it pretty well documented that Andre did hang out at Vince's house? Shane mentioned on Austin's podcast that Andre was a frequent dinner guest and even though it would have been much later, Andre lived there for a period of time after his surgery. From everything I've ever heard, it does sound like he was genuinely closer to the McMahons than most of the wrestlers were.
He doesn’t have the ability to make his anger and bitterness sound charming, funny, or creative like Cornette, and then he sucks at doing show prep and research to boot lol. He adds very little beyond being a guy to say a couple things while Cornette takes a sip of water.

That Andre the Giant life size poster was a familiar sight at the Tunney offices window facing outward, across the street from Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. It was there all through the 70’s and 80’s. When I’m downtown I still look up expecting to see it!
The Machines were thought by Andre and Lou Albano from their time in Japan. The idea was a tag team with multiple masked wrestlers easily recognizable by the crowd. Super Strong Machine was the ringname of Junji Hirata, not part of The Machines. Giant Machine: André "the Giant" Roussimoff (Giant Baba filled in once or twice) Super Machine: Bill Eadie (Masked Superstar - Demolition Ax) Big Machine: Robert Windham (Blackjack Mulligan) Animal Machine: George "the Animal" Steele Hulk Machine: Hulk Hogan Piper Machine: "Rowdy" Roddy Piper Crusher Machine: "The Crusher" Reggie Lisowski
Brian finds the most inane shit to take issue with, out of all the damage the McMahon's have done to the business who gives a f##k about Stephanie's "memories" of Andre?
I just have to say it... it was quite touching how much this stuff meant to Mark Henry. You can tell Andre meant so much to him. I got the impression that Andre was a symbol that "big guys" can be celebrated and revered to young Mark. Hell, watching him put on Andre's coat about teared me up just watching.
I attended an AWA battle royals in St. Cloud, MN where they brought up Andre in a bread truck so he could lie down (back troubles). In the match, Mad Dog was perched on the second rope. Ken Patera was holding out Sheik Adnan’s arm and MD was gesturing that he was going to bite the arm. MD jumped, Adnan yanked his arm away and a stumbling MD bit Andre on the butt. Andre howled and all the wrestlers (except MD) abandoned the ring. As an angry Andre approached, the Dog did a comic two step dance and grinned at Andre. The Giant waived his hand in disgust and the battle royals resumed.
Bethlehem Pennsylvania is not far from Allentown. There used to be a pro wrestling museum in merchant square Mall. In Allentown Pennsylvania. They had a bunch of ring worn items from a lot of different wrestlers. Including Andre the Giant. I've seen it myself many times.
Originally there were two podcasts on the MLW radio. The Experience which was free, and the Dive Thru that came at a subscription fee. The Drive Thru was the co-host asking Jim questions from the fans. The Drive Thru evolved into a very experience-esque podcast where the questions are overshadowed by a. AEW and b. whats trending on Twitter. Sadly. Anyway, I think the way they prepare the shows, that Brian has the task of coming up with the main schedule for the Drive Thru. Making sure to cover this and that, and pick out questions and topics. However, simply put, both shows are Jim's, and they're just playing with it.
The Giant Ferre...was a French mythical lumberjack who would walk the big forests gathering wood and fighting trolls ..but somehow when a promoter was asking what Andres ring name was he thought the person said Giant Ferry...like a big boat 🤣..so he asked what his real name was and called him Andre the Giant
I enjoy your UA-cam commentaries. I knew from 25 yrs back when you and the Midnight's battled the Fantastics in Longview that you knew what you were doing, and something you enjoyed. Now it's come full circle with the UA-cam's.You fill in a lot of gaps between the bouts on tv,and between territory lines,which at times was confusing for a MARK,like myself. 🙂👍👍🤣

@@jdoncbus I like him most of the times lol just when he goes on his anti wwe rant I'm drained. Sometimes he feels like a poor man's Paul Heyman is all lol
Big Show & Mark Henry sure felt entitled to that Giant Mask. I didn't like that they were cutting that Oriental guy down for subjecting them to that Private Auction . He probably told the other potential buyers at one time that they would have a chance to buy it. What's wrong with a Seller trying to get top dollar . He doesn't owe Vince McMahon anything. Ultimately it's Vince who pays.
I forget how long Tim White was in the business! I miss seeing Tim White and Earl Hebner... They was the best refs in 90's!! They was over as much as most of the talent was!!!🙉
Andre's ranch is just under an hour from where I live. Ellerbe is a very small town right next to another really small town called Wagram, NC. Wagram, NC is home to the annual "Biggest Pig Picking in the World". Both towns are right next to a road that Arn Anderson mentioned on his show, named Old Wire Road. It was a road he mentioned that he saw Jimmy Valiant and Rocky King driving down and playing cards while they drove. Kind of interesting to me.
Andre is the one person I can think of in history who really didn't need ID or a passport. No one could impersonate him, and no one could forget who he was once he saw him.
Bill Eadie was the Masked Superstar in the territories. Junji Hirata created Super Strong Machine gimmick in Stampede in 1982, and worked the gimmick there and in Japan (NJPW & AJPW). I'm assuming since Bill Eadie's Masked Superstar gimmick looked similar to the Machine gimmicks, that's why he was given the gimmick in 1986 after the WWF "borrowed" it for the stable.
Even Jim had to pull out the hold on Brian on that one lol. Andre was known to be a gentle giant and Stephanie was his bosses small daughter. I don't doubt that they could have had a very sweet relationship and I don't see why she would choose to perpetrate that as a lie so much. It's not like she's claiming he was her best friend as a full on adult. Maybe as a kid he was so nice that to her he was. And imagine as a kid knowing andre, you'd probably be obsessed lol he's like a real life giant.
Nobody really talks about how in reality Andre really drank and ate himself to death. There are a lot of people with Acromegaly who live into their 70s, without pituitary surgery. I remember him walking by me in front of MLG and he couldn't have been over 6'8. If you're drinking 50 beers a night, and eating 6 steaks, I don't care how big you are, that's going to kill you faster than Acromegaly.
andre saved my life and i have his blazer in storage that he wrapped me up in during that time. i was allowed to go to his ranch whenever i wanted even if he wasnt there. he was a great guy and i will never sell his blazer to wwe or any tv reality show
How much would a bag of Andre's real hair from Andre's 70'S super fro fetch in an auction? 🤔 Oh & Blackjack Mulligan was known as "Hillbilly Machine"😅 RIP Milligan & Andre, I was a fan
Is there gonna be an actual physical HOF or museum to display these items? Has land been purchased? Has construction begun? I know there’s been talk but there’s been talk for several years with nothing ever moving forward. They’re going around acting noble as if they’re doing it for the fans preserving history but in reality they’re just taking back items they feel they’re entitled to just to store away. I’m guessing not a lot of people make it out to Ellerbe but I guarantee you more people have an opportunity to see the Machine mask there than inside the WWE warehouse.
Sonny Onoo was far from the worst manager ever. He was pretty funny with Ernest Miller. Onoo would take selfies (in the 90's) on their way to the ring to get heat.
According to this show, he was best friends with Stephanie when she was a kid. And according to Young Rock, he was friends with the Rock when he was a kid. Did anyone else in the WWE have a fun childhood with their best friend Andre?
I just saw the Andre documentary on HBO. It was sad how he wanted to have a normal life but couldn't and that people who didn't even know him would publicly ridicule him for his appearance.
it was so good to see Mark and Big show again, and Mark crying was adorable but so true, so good to see Andre's farm again. i miss Tim White, i remember the mid 2000s bio of Andrea , so interesting to hear from Steph and her friendship with Andrea, funny you didnt hear from Shane

If you're drinking 50 beers a night, and eating 6 steaks, I don't care how big you are, that's going to kill you faster than Acromegaly.
Brian's Savage comment was SAVAGE.
Rest In Peace, Tim White. He’s enjoying a few beers with Andre again. ❤️😥
This was a great episode
I remember Hall asking The Giant that live as well
Stephanie was working house shows with Andre😂😂😂😂
What do you have for sale Jim? Any Flair memorabilia??
I was thinking about Savage as Brian said it! 😂😂
Randy Savage: Oh, YEEAAAHHHH, Elizabeth!
Stephanie McMahon:....
Me 2, thinking I thought macho man was her best friend and then he said it at that second!
😂😂
......willllllllll you marrryyyyyyyyy me
andre saved my life and i have his blazer in storage that he wrapped me up in during that time. i was allowed to go to his ranch whenever i wanted even if he wasnt there. he was a great guy and i will never sell his blazer to wwe or any tv reality show
How much would a bag of Andre's real hair from Andre's 70'S super fro fetch in an auction? 🤔 Oh & Blackjack Mulligan was known as "Hillbilly Machine"😅 RIP Milligan & Andre, I was a fan
Is there gonna be an actual physical HOF or museum to display these items? Has land been purchased? Has construction begun? I know there’s been talk but there’s been talk for several years with nothing ever moving forward. They’re going around acting noble as if they’re doing it for the fans preserving history but in reality they’re just taking back items they feel they’re entitled to just to store away. I’m guessing not a lot of people make it out to Ellerbe but I guarantee you more people have an opportunity to see the Machine mask there than inside the WWE warehouse.
Does Jim still sell cancelled check for the autographs?
Referee Tim white is one of my favorites! He was stalky and with the military hair he was believable as a little enforcer
I love how Brian told Stephanie and Paul… No No No. Not happening not playing tht game.
Why did mark Henry keep crying 😂😂😂😂
Sonny Onoo was far from the worst manager ever. He was pretty funny with Ernest Miller. Onoo would take selfies (in the 90's) on their way to the ring to get heat.
Junji Hirata was Super Strong Machine - the original "Machine."
"sends the entire AEW announce team" hahah
I really enjoy this show, it's pretty much the only current WWE related content that I will watch.
I treasure the way people like Jim say "treasures".
Linda looked different is right, maybe Trump gave her some Big Macs at her job in Washington.😂

According to this show, he was best friends with Stephanie when she was a kid. And according to Young Rock, he was friends with the Rock when he was a kid. Did anyone else in the WWE have a fun childhood with their best friend Andre?
Randy Orton is up next, but it could be used to explain why he became the Legend-Killer or wrestled Hulk Hogan's last WWE match.
Did he work Memphis? Maybe Jeff Jarrett has a few?
Randy gave her half of a slim jim and Linda was pissed
Stephanie slammed Andre before Hogan did. True story......
I just saw the Andre documentary on HBO. It was sad how he wanted to have a normal life but couldn't and that people who didn't even know him would publicly ridicule him for his appearance.
it was so good to see Mark and Big show again, and Mark crying was adorable but so true, so good to see Andre's farm again. i miss Tim White, i remember the mid 2000s bio of Andrea , so interesting to hear from Steph and her friendship with Andrea, funny you didnt hear from Shane
I was so excited to see Sonny Onoo.
None of those guys was!
