Who can defeat Andre the Giant?

[Bernkastel]

In a one off battle of primes like the WZT, who could beat Andre?

To save redundancy I'll list a few obvious names that could have...

Hogan, Santo, Rikidozan, Lou Thesz, Ed Lewis, Frank Gotch, Bruno Sammartino, Verne Gagne, Steve Austin, Antonio Inoki...

Can anyone list any others that could defeat a prime Andre?

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

I honestly can't see Austin doing it.

 

[Bernkastel]

I honestly can't see Austin doing it.

Andre was an elite, but he wasn't an Austin level elite. A better answer would be "I don't see HHH beating Andre."

 

[The Butcher]

Undertaker

 

[Bernkastel]

Undertaker

In what universe is Undy beating Andre? Certainly not the WWE.

At WrestleMania.

 

[Bernkastel]

At WrestleMania.

Not really. 1.) The streak isn't Taker's prime. 2.) Taker has never beaten anyone on Andre's level with the streak 3.) The streak is now self sufficient. It draws despite Taker. 4.) Andre drew more money by himself than what WWE has made off the streak.

Put Taker against prime Andre at Mania and kiss the streak goodbye.

How far did you have to dig up your ass to pull that out?

Vincent Kennedy McMahon, Brock Lesnar, John Cena...

Bret Hart.

Not far considering everything I said was accurate.

 

[Bernkastel]

Vincent Kennedy McMahon, Brock Lesnar, John Cena...

Cena I could buy, Lesnar? Nope. VMK is a maybe. Honestly I would know.

Bret Hart.

Probably not. Hart was a fairly weak draw in the mid 90's for a renowned world champion. Andre wasn't. In fact he was bigger than a world title.

Yeah, no. I don't see it happening. To me, it's anybody's game except in Wrestlemania. Undertaker rules all there. Period.

Also, El Canek once pinned Andre too. And bodyslammed him before it was cool.

 

[Harthan]

Bryan with the Knee Plus.

More seriously, Cena.

 

[nightmare]

Cena I could buy, Lesnar? Nope. VMK is a maybe. Honestly I would know.

Cena yes. Lesnar in prime = Andre is in trouble. Vince? Evil ruthless billionare who will stop at nothing to come out on top.


How would you honestly know? Can I borrow your phone booth for this excellent adventure?

 

[The Butcher]

So you're just full of shit then.

 

[Nate DaMac]

CM Punk beat him last year or the year before in a ladder match. He will be eliminated in the gimmick match rounds like he always is.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Also, The Rock.

 

[Slash-LN]

Goldberg

I meant *wouldn't. And based on forum logic Brock Smash ends at Michaels. That's pretty sad.

Also, The Rock.

That goes without saying.

 

[Bernkastel]

Goldberg

Nope. Not even in a ladder match.

That was fun. Good times.

Yeah, it is pretty sad that there are dumb people allowed to vote. I say this year we have an IQ test qualifier round for voting access.


Maybe you should change the title of this thread to "Wrestlers who Echelon accepts that could beat Andre in his prime"

Taker at WM > Andre. Sorry bud, you know it.

 

[Bernkastel]

Taker at WM > Andre. Sorry bud, you know it.

Streak isn't a prime. Taker would lose otherwise. Brock is a terrible draw. Seems likely you'd fail your own IQ test.

 

[Bernkastel]

Yeah, no. I don't see it happening. To me, it's anybody's game except in Wrestlemania. Undertaker rules all there. Period.

Nice A > B > C logic there Killjoy.
