Description
Billed at seven feet four inches and over 500 pounds, for years, the world was told that no one could put Andre the Giant on his back. They were lying. Before Hulk Hogan scooped the Giant skyward at WrestleMania III, 23 wrestlers across five continents had already done it. Some accomplished the feat in smoke-filled territorial arenas before crowds that barely reached four figures. Others did it in packed Tokyo halls in front of television cameras. One man did it in Europe barely eight months before that historic night in Pontiac. Here are the wrestlers and 30 confirmed times Andre the Giant was bodyslammed, arranged chronologically and drawn from match records, firsthand accounts, and the territory history behind pro wrestling’s greatest sustained illusion.
