Did anyone ever meet Andre The Giant When he was still alive?

[Devon97]

If so how would you describe him?

My dad saw him sitting in a hotel bar once when he was on a business trip. Said his hand made the beer can look like a salt shaker.

[danielson]

I met him at the Silverdome in 1987. He was a big dude.

[dr.chimps]

Saw him a few months before he died. He did not look well at all, and really didn't wrestle.

I had backstage passes cuz my moms friend was a ring girl or something. I met a few of the wrestlers, Andre was sitting down but he still looked huge.

Haha lets see if he decides to share his story about the time he challanged Andre to an "all you can eat" Buffett at the Hungry Lion.

[bigdumbbell]
