I didnt know he was a drinker interesting, what was his win/loss record all time do you know?
Oh yeah, he was a BIG drinker. Watch the documentary above when you have time. At the 33:00 mark, Vince tells the story of when Andre had his back surgery and the anesthesiologist couldn't figure out how much anesthesia to give him, so they equated it to how much booze it took Andre to "feel."
The whole documentary was well-done and at 37:45, you'll see footage of his ranch and cattle he raised.
As for the win/loss record, I'm honestly not sure. As with most things in pro-wrestling, it is probably greatly exaggerated and depends on who you ask. For instance, Vince billed Wrestle Mania III as Andre & Hogan's first encounter, while the two actually met years earlier at the big Shea Stadium event. WWF also hails Hulkster as the first to slam Andre, but others like Stan Hansen and Bill Eadie/Masked Superstar performed the feat prior. Hogan, however, probably slammed Andre when he was at his heaviest body weight and even tore a lat in the process.
