Who can defeat Andre the Giant?

[BaconBits]

Except a prime Ryback didn't even go over Punk, who we both agree is bad.

Yeah, Ryback was probably a poor choice of words, but still, Andre would be used to build monster babyfaces. That's exactly what you do with the big guy. He's no different than the Giant/Big Show. I mean, remember when he was billed as Andre's kid?

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

Legit question - are we booking Andre with the kayfabe still on or not? Because that is a game changer. Andre in the current WWE would probably be a Great Khali of some sorts (Khali is however a lot popular in India). Andre in his 70's/80's run would crush a guy like Ryback every Wednesday. Sometimes two like him in handicap matches. He only lost clean to big big stars such as Canek in Mexico or Inoki in Japan. We also need to see if he's a babyface or a heel, because heels lose, big babyfaces rarely do. If Hogan was #1, Andre was #1,5 by WWF's scale in 1980's.

Chris Jericho would beat Andre and it would be a squash match.

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

Point three was at least wrist deep.

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.

Punk's ladder and TLC match record makes me comfortable with my choice. Especially when you consider how well men of Andre's size fare in those bouts

Chris Jericho would beat Andre and it would be a squash match.

You'd think so. But you can generally bank on Jericho making it much farther in the tournament than he ought to.

Just for the record, Andre's legacy as a draw has been grossly inflated by contemporary historians.

He was still big (in a metaphorical sense - just not that big). Oh, and he lost to Don Leo Jonathon.

I'm trying to think of the best possible final 16 for the tournament.

 

[Gelgarin]

Hackenschmit, Gotch, Lewis, George(not really, but whatever), Thesz, Rikidozan, Rogers, Rocca, Sammartino, Inoki, Flair, Hogan, Santo, Austin, Rock, Taker.

You're welcome.

Hackenschmit (I didn't look up the spelling first time, not going to now) and George should probably be replaced by Cena and Sheik (the good one) but whatever.

Please give this early 20th century stuff a rest, brother.

 

[Gelgarin]

No. There was a world before you were born. It was pretty good.

 

[Dirk]

Okay. I respect your wishes.

 

[Poop Master Flex]

I could see Taker beating Andre, its certainly plausible he could. Every wrestler ever talks about how awesome Taker is, he's often considered the greatest gimmick of all time, his character alone makes it a possibility so its possible.

Andre was the bigger draw no question and he definitely the advantage but I could see Taker winning if they face off.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, you weren't alive for the world Thesz drew crowds of 10,000 in either.

 

[Coco]

There was also a world before Gelgarin was born.

 

[Uncle Sam]

There was also a world before Gelgarin was born.

I try not to think about it.

One thing's for sure... I don't give a shit about the WZT anymore.

Are you kidding me? Everyone violently hurling their preconceived notions at one another always makes for a great time!

If the non-spam WWE posters show up, it's going to a bigger mess than an autistic knife fight.

Man, those days were depressing. No internet and all that shit.

KB generally throws it up near the top of the board to ensure maximum activity.

So make sure you wear a raincoat.

Oh I think they will. CM Punk did beat Andre The Giant 2 years ago you know.

On to you guys complaining about those sections, how about posting there to fix the situation?

Thanks, but no thanks. Unless you have nerves of steel, the hivemind there will consume you eventually.

Nope. You can't swim against a tidal wave.

There would be infractions. Infractions everywhere!

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

Honest question, can someone explain me what is the WZT?

Out of things to look forward to on an online wrestling forum... It's pretty high on my list.
