Okay - here is the deal. I fucking love Andre. Andre also passed away on my 18th birthday... which is today. (My birthday... not the 18th one. God - if only it was my 18th birthday.) I decided that in celebration of my impending doom - I was going to highlight some of my favorites this week. In one of the NXT threads - Matt asked me what my favorite Andre matches were. The answer might honestly be "almost all of them". Clearly I am not going to revisit the jobbing to Warrior in 30 seconds ones or the Japan matches during his last days on Earth ones. I mean - while sad - his early 90s All Japan run provided at least goofy matches (like Andre in a tag match against Foley) so they had that value. If I every introduced some sort of "You Must Watch These 5 Matches Before Being Able To Post On This Board" system - Andre vs. Stan Hansen would be one of those 5. I thought about not including it here because of how cliched that would seem. But it is fucking Andre/Hansen and you don't need a fucking excuse to watch it. http://youtu.be/bp0Wo7hLTIE While embarrassing to look back at. I am glad that my moment of discovery of this match was recorded thanks to this very site.
