Big Show has been a professional wrestler, so it’s safe to say he understands the business. Wrestlers live by a code, and it seems that Hulk Hogan broke that code years ago in the eyes of Andre The Giant.
During the WrestleMania 3 watch party Big Show shared a story from years ago when Hogan was working as a heel, and Andre was working as a face. Show said that early in Hulk Hogan’s career he and Andre were on the same plane, and Hogan started dancing in the aisle with a flight attendant he met on the plane.
The Big Show went on to say that Andre wasn’t happy about the dancing because Hulk Hogan was supposed to be a heel, and Andre was all about the business. He said what followed was, “one of the most horrific stories ever.”
“So you get to the building and sure enough, Hogan goes out first and he got her a nice front row ticket. He’s out posing. Andre’s calculating all this, hasn’t said a word. So Andre gets in the ring and starts to beat the ever-loving snot out of Hulk Hogan. Terry said it was 330 lbs. and there was nothing I could do.”
“Between Andre throwing him into the corner and sitting on his chest when Hogan was in the corner and then went the bathroom when he was sitting on Hogan’s chest, number two. True story. Grabbed him by the hair, pulled him out of the middle of the ring, bent him over his knee, took his giant thumb, put it where it’s not supposed to go, looked at the flight attendant and goes ‘how do you like him now?'”
