In the "Dark Side of the Ring" episode about Bam Bam Bigelow, it said that Andre the Giant didn't like that Bam Bam was sort of getting too big too soon in the WWE/WWF, and felt that he should pay his dues. So in one match, Andre basically choked Bam Bam between the ropes until he almost passed out.
Bam Bam was 6'4" and 390-lb. This would have been around 1986 when Bam Bam was 25 years old, and Andre was 40...yet Andre was rag-dolling Bam Bam, who was worried that he was going to pass out in front of thousands of people in the audience.
How strong was Andre, to toss around giant men in their primes, when he was 40, and declining in strength due to ongoing issues with his neck and back?
