00:00You
00:30The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring, from Tampa,
00:48Florida, weighing in at 425 pounds, Paul White. This guy will settle for nothing short of
00:55a victory here tonight. He looks geared up and ready to go tonight.
01:56From Grenoble in the French Alps, weighing in at 476 pounds, the 8th wonder of the world,
02:04Andre the Giant. What a reaction from the WWE Universe. I can't hear myself think.
02:11This guy certainly has his game face on. Beating him tonight is not going to be easy. It's
02:17never easy.
02:47What a reaction from the WWE Universe.
03:18Folks, we're about to see something special here. It's not every day we get to see somebody
03:21the likes of Andre the Giant compete.
03:23Well, I think it's fair to say, Andre the Giant may be the greatest attraction in the
03:29history of sports entertainment.
03:31If he keeps this up, this will be over in no time. You know, most guys can only dream
03:49of going undefeated for a whole year. But not Andre the Giant. He went an astonishing
03:5515 years without losing a match. Can you imagine that? 15 years.
04:18Thanks for tuning in. We're coming to you tonight from Santa Clara, the site of WrestleMania
04:2231.
04:29God, what a stiff shot. And right on the mark.
04:37Andre's unbelievable undefeated streak is only a portion of his story. Here's a guy
04:42who's also won the WWE Championship, World Tag Team Championship, and was the first ever
04:47inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame. I don't think anybody would argue that Andre the Giant
04:52is the greatest big man of all time.
04:55As a matter of fact, he's so great, Michael, that he has his own match named after him
05:00at WrestleMania. There's not another man alive that can stake claim to that honor.
05:09Wow! Cannot believe Andre the Giant got out of that one.
05:13Once the match goes, it's nearly impossible to stand.
05:16And there are the ropes.
05:23The impact of that sounded like a high-speed automobile accident.
05:27Yeah, a head-on crash.
05:30He got a living, breathing giant that weighs more than 500 pounds in there. He can do whatever
05:35he wants. My first instinct, get the heck out of there. Take the loss and leave with
05:40your life.
05:41Look out.
05:42Is it enough to put an end to this one?
05:44I've seen many bear hugs over the years. Heck, I've been caught in quite a few.
05:48He goes for the quick pin attack.
05:49Count, Randy, count.
05:51Oh, look at that. He managed to get a shoulder up.
05:54Well, like they say, Cole, timing is everything.
05:56I can't believe it. What's it take to put Paul Wight away?
06:04He's setting up.
06:09Oh, looking to put an end to this one.
06:12What an insane move by Andre the Giant.
06:26And here's a cover.
06:30And it's up. He got the shoulder up.
06:32You know, it's hard to believe, but it looks like he still has some gas left in his tank.
06:37I agree with you, King. Andre's bear hug certainly is dominating.
06:40But for me, there's nothing better than watching Andre chop the chest of an opponent.
06:44Especially when he leaves that gigantic handshake red mark on his opposition's chest.
06:49Oh, man, you're right about that. His hand is almost the size of a normal man's chest.
06:54And his head, that thing is huge. I've been hit by Andre's headbutt.
06:58It's like getting hit in the head by a boulder.
07:01I can't believe how Paul Wight's moving right now.
07:03We're seeing a real giant who stands more than 7 feet tall
07:08and is moving there with the speed and force of a runaway mack.
07:12Paul Wight hit that one.
07:17And he's still down after that move.
07:19I almost wonder if his belt got snagged.
07:21And into the cover.
07:22And he escapes with a kick out.
07:24Well, it's going to take a lot more than that to keep somebody the size of Andre the Giant down.
07:31Oh, man. Just look at the gargantuan size of this man.
07:39Paul Wight's size 22 boot is longer than most people's jacket sleeves.
07:44I mean, he is truly a giant.
07:46And he can crush his opponent anytime he so chooses.
07:49Whoa! Look at the giant. And he's not even breaking a sweat out there.
08:01Both of these competitors have so much resolve.
08:03It's going to take a minor miracle to keep one of them down.
08:06Uh-oh. The Bearhug squeezing the life away.
08:09Oh, there's nothing that hurts worse than a good, hard Bearhug.
08:14Just a dominating display.
08:16Yeah. I think we could see a lot of punishment inflicted here.
08:21Can he score the pin?
08:23And he kicks out.
08:24And he lives the fight again.
08:26Just when you thought it was over.
08:28Wow. He clearly has confidence in that move.
08:31Yeah, he's done it enough.
08:34Andre the Giant has eyes to finish.
08:37What a wild move by Andre the Giant.
08:46Quick thinking to avoid that.
08:48Look at the attack here.
08:50Oh, man. Talk about a direct hit.
08:53Oh, wow.
08:57Paul White gets rocked.
09:00Not a lot of spring left in his step right now.
09:13Another amazing singles contest.
09:15These two never cease to entertain.
09:18Another amazing singles contest.
09:20These two never cease to entertain the WWE Universe.
09:30That chop.
09:38Oh, man. Andre's just manhandling his opponent.
09:41And showing him all of the areas of the ring the hard way.
09:45Huh. This is brutal.
09:56Another great night of action here tonight as WWE comes to you from the great city of Santa Clara.
10:10Looking highly motivated here.
10:12Oh, there's no greater pain than when your body is being torn apart.
10:19And the tide seems to be changing once again.
10:32You can bet every superstar on the roster is crowded around the monitors in the back to see which one of these guys comes out victorious.
10:43How many times have we seen Paul White get on a roll like he's on now?
10:47And then moments later, his arm...
10:49There's no coming back from that.
10:53He is slowly getting dissected.
10:58Looking for the quick pin.
10:59I don't think even the referee was ready for that.
11:01Oh, look at that. He managed to get a shoulder up.
11:04Well, like they say, Cole, timing is everything.
11:07Oh, my gosh. If Andre the Giant kicked out of that, then what else can you hit him with?
11:11A freight train?
11:13A short slam. Ain't gonna be long now.
11:16You're right. His minutes aren't numbered.
11:18There's the finishing move. Don't know if he has anything left.
11:23And will this be it?
11:24It may be.
11:26Two.
11:27And the shoulder's up.
11:28And the match continues. I love this.
11:30What do you have to do to keep this guy down?
11:36Oh, wait. Nice reversal.
11:37Yep. There's the reversal by Paul White.
11:42A huge reversal from the Giant.
11:49Oh, they couldn't find a home for that one.
11:51Well, it certainly wasn't due to a lack of trying, Michael.
11:54The back is the largest area on the human body and thus always a target.
11:58I know what you mean. You know, I've got a week back.
12:00How long did you have that?
12:01Oh, about a week back.
12:12Folks, this is where superstars become immortals.
12:15A win at WrestleMania lives forever in the annals of sports entertainment.
12:20Just making his presence felt there.
12:22Well, the trick sometimes when you get outside the ring is survival.
12:26The match becomes almost secondary when you get near all these dangerous objects.
12:31King, have you ever seen the eighth winner of the world in this kind of shape before?
12:35Andre the Giant with a reversal.
12:37Yeah. You're not gonna get Andre the Giant like that.
12:40Oh, I think this man means business.
12:42Oh, out here you have to be able to think on your feet lightning fast.
12:46One mistake, one moment of hesitation and you can find yourself in a world of hurt.
12:53Wow. He's still down after that.
12:58He doesn't want to do this outside the ring.
13:00Well, I don't blame him.
13:01Keep the action inside the ring. That's where you're gonna win this thing.
13:11This is the eighth wonder of the world.
13:13And he doesn't just have size.
13:15Andre's proven over the course of his career that he's capable of anything.
13:19Right now the Giant looks to have so much energy he can stay in there and run the ropes all night.
13:28Andre the Giant is in position.
13:30Oh, submission. The hold's locked in.
13:33Look at him trying to use all the strength and power he can muster to escape this.
13:39Watch it!
13:40With strength, fighting his way out.
13:44And the strike connects.
13:45Whoa-ho-ho! A direct hit.
13:48Talk about getting tagged and knocked in the middle of next week.
13:55And it's Andre the Giant, able to break free.
13:58Covers.
13:59One. Two.
14:09Somehow, he's kicked it into another gear here tonight.
14:12This is exactly how he drew this one up.
14:14Ho-ho, what a shot.
14:16That did some serious damage.
14:18You can't take too many of those and expect to be in the mat.
14:21A butterfly suplex. The end is near.
14:23I think you're right there, Cole. This is it.
14:31Looking for all the glory here.
14:33One. Two. Three.
14:36Oh, wow! What a win!
14:45Here's your winner, the eighth Wonder of the World, Andre the Giant!
14:52Nicely done. Picking up the win here.
14:54Great effort from both these guys, Cole.
14:57I'm willing to bet this isn't the last time we see them square off.
15:00And that'll do it here for this one-on-one match.
15:02I hope you enjoyed it as much as this live crowd appears to have enjoyed it.
