BUMgarner, de la Andre the Giant

I loved watching wrasslin' when I was a kid, and was fortunately was able to see Andre the Giant a few times, at Wrestling at The Chase, and the old Kiel Auditorium. At 7' 4", truly amazing that Hulk Hogan was able to body slam a man close to 500 #'s! Nice guy by all accounts, first played the face, then later in his career played the heel. Rumored to have consumed over 7 cases of 12oz cans of lager in one setting, and was very generous. always picking up the bar tab for his drinking party!
