226.03.2024BruceMarcos5242.0This is another of revisionist's most absurd fabrication of how "great" Andre the Giant is. Aside from his size and his popularity, there is nothing to be worth praising about his entire wrestling run. He moves very slowly, and his matches are simply mediocre. No matches whatsoever to be recommended as most of his matches are awful and boring to watch. As a babyface, he is simply terrible. Not because of the enormous stature, he would be less interesting as most of the wrestlers in the 70s and 80s. So far, I appreciate his heel run back in 1987 and somewhat a little bit of improvement from his horrendous babyface run. His only notable points of his career are his feud with Killer Khan and Hulk Hogan, which is both mediocre sad to say. Although they considered him a folk hero by some, Andre is not even a decent wrestler as what most of the revisionists and loyalists think. Just be thankful that the landscape of wrestling is truly changed, and we focused on wrestlers who are skilful than just looks and popularity.

410.03.2024Zak224.0He really wasn't a great wrestler and is remembered unduly fondly. And I've seen work of his from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, so I'm not just talking about old Andre. He was capable of a good match but for me he rarely gave anything special. A legend but not one who I'd like to see a 15 minute match from

726.02.2024benny5bellys7.0A real shame that much of what we have on tape is Andre well after his peak and he is a sad sight broken down and still pushed out the curtain. The man could go in his time and even on his way down is star power and size meant he was over and got reactions.
821.02.2024Matthieujst10.0The best giant in pro wrestling history. Yes, his in ring level was not that great in his last years due to his health problems but he was an incredible wrestler for his size during his best days ! To be honnest I am not a fan of "giant wrestlers" too, I prefer watching good in-ring wrestlers like Danielson, Okada or ZSJ... But man, André was a pure attraction ! His charisma and his size were so impressive that he didn't have to be a good in-ring pro wrestler. He simply beats you by crushing you with all of his weight and smashing you with all of his gigantic power ! He is the one WWE tried to reproduce for decades but it never really worked because André is the greatest monster wrestler of all time, the original and one and only giant. Damn, I'm so proud that my country was represented by the first Hall Of Famer in history and one of the greatest legend in this sport !
920.02.2024jasonkl24 Andre is also a clear 10 and bridged the gap between the territory years and modern wrestling and was a huge draw for both eras. He was booked extremely well also where he would go to different places for relatively short times, as well as Japan. when he was younger, he was a very good worker for a giant, later on in his career his body betrayed him and he was a shadow of his former self, but was still a great attraction.

1331.01.2024HardcoreRobbo2k9710.0He is the Only True and Genuine Giant in the history of Wrestling, Andre was an attraction inside and outside of the ring beloved by fans and co-workers around the territories and in the WWF. Andre in my eyes made Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania into the spectacle and iconic lineage that exists today in Hulk Hogan. Andre didn't need a Championship to make himself a main event player as he already was one way before WrestleMania 3 as he was undefeated till that point in his career because his gigantism was starting to take over his physical health as he made his own path and destiny into a legacy that people will remember him for in the years to come. R.I.P Andre

1526.01.2024Teck22 the only giant, the ultimate, and last giant ever see of wrestling ! I never forget playing like him in 2012 on wwf wrestlemania by nes 8 bit !

2124.12.2023laddermatch10.0He's the single most unique figure in the history of professional wrestling. Andre was the greatest attraction of his era. People paid to see him perform live just to see if he was actually real. He was a promoters wet dream. He drew in every territory he went to and when he finally settled in the WWWF/WWF, he was already a household name. The man looked like a monster but he was indeed a gentle giant (as long as he liked you that is). Andre transcends pro wrestling and is a global pop culture icon. People who have never even watched a single wrestling match in their lives know who he was. Hulkamania would not have been as big as it was without Hogan beating Andre at WrestleMania III.

2311.12.2023greaterdale10.0It's honestly amazing that people remember him so fondly (and like rightfully so), as his best work is lost to time because it was back when companies taped over their archives and didn't tape the house shows where the big matches happened. But Yeah Andre is a legend by the time he was at his most popular his body was starting to break down which is really sad, but he did have one of the biggest box office matches with Hulk Hogan. I'd suggest checking out his New Japan work as those are some of his best matches still viewable (though I'm not sure they're still on New Japan World since they updated the site they should be back eventually maybe check out other sites if you can find them.) Anyway Andre is both figuratively and literally larger than life and deserves his 10/10 rating.

2623.11.2023JediSaiyanMaster12038.0Despite not being one of my personal favorites, Andre The Giant was undoubtably one of the most charismatic big men in history who's legacy means more than anything I could ever say about him. His early years showcased he was a pretty good wrestler for his size, his wrestling ability slowed down as he kept growing until his death. R.I.P. Andre The Giant

2917.10.2023celticinvader8.0If we're talking the history of wrestling, nobody was a bigger draw than Andre. 7 foot tall, 500lbs, and could take on anyone. His matches with Hogan in the early years of the Fed are fun, with their legendary Mania 3 match being an all time favourite of mine.

3202.10.2023DangoDaisuki5.0Er hat schon generell Legenden Status und ich kann auch verstehen rum, da er einfach im Wrestling besonders war. Jedoch war er immer sehr begrenzt im Ring. Sehr langsam, macht viel zu viele langweilige Griffe wie ins Gesicht oder einen unbeeindruckenden Bearhug und sogar sein angeblich bestes Match ist nur um die 8 Minuten lang.

3812.07.2023MattHall9.0One of the most iconic wrestlers of all time, while he may not be the greatest in-ring technician, he will forever be remembered. His size and stature were also unique and iconic for his era too..
3910.07.2023JoshB10.0Greatest attraction in the history of wrestling. Wherever Andre went eyes were on him. Wherever he wrestled people paid to see.

4103.07.2023Immortan Scott10.0Andre is... let's be real, not the best wrestler. He had a bunch of outright terrible matches. But he's such a force of nature (and his good matches are all timers) that it's impossible not to count him as one of my favorites.

4402.06.2023Giantfan19807.0The original big monster. Andre's work rate didn't matter because he didn't need it. His physical size made it believable that all he had to do was get his mitts on you once and then he could smother you and beat you down with his weight. WWFE tried for years to create the next Andre and nearly all of them flopped after about a year.

4610.05.2023Tasmo1210.0Andre the Giant was limited in the ring in the 80's and hugely during his last years but during his early years he was impressively good in the ring and had an aura that will never be matched again.
4709.05.2023psychostar8.0 
4809.05.2023ElegantImpact10.0His charisma, star power and overall impact on the industry are so huge that how can he not be a 10? 70s & early 80s Andre could move! he was such a sight to behold. Those of us who grew up only watching late 80s Andre really should go back and see some earlier Andre, he was so great at what he could do. Even when he was dealing with his issues later in his career, his charisma and ability to make so much out of so little really stood out. There are not many wrestlers who stay relevant in popular culture, Andre has, and that is true testament of how great he really was.
4906.05.2023SKeL9.0All the bad ratings are from people who don't know shit about wrestling history and never watched his work before he got sick. He's one of the most popular wrestler to ever live he's a true icon of this sport and if you actually know his carreer he also was a very good wrestler for his size. Dude had success in every big wrestling market, Japan, Mexico, United States, Europe, and was the top attraction everywhere he went, literally one of the biggest draw in the history of this business. But the most important thing about Andre was his charisma, his aura, he wasn't just a big man he was THE GIANT he had that menacing presence that no one else ever had. Every single person who met Andre agrees with that, he wasn't just a giant wrestler he was a unique human being with a unique charisma

5204.04.2023Lcrossin9.0One of the biggest icons in pro wrestling history both literally and figuratively. While his ring skills aren't up to snuff compared to today, it shouldn't be forgotten how big of a a draw andre was.
5301.02.2023Makoto929.0 
5417.01.2023benh29.0Andre might have been pretty basic in the ring, but at 7' and 500lbs, why should you need to be anything more? In fact, he was actually a far better wrestler in his athletic prime than he had any right to be. He was the ultimate attraction in wrestling for a long time, drawing record gates for multiple promoters. An unbelievable star quality who never needed a title to be relevant.

5828.11.2022crs2859.0Andre could work in the ring when he was younger as shown by clips although very few full matches exist. Andre was one of the biggest draws of his era as his size brought people in. He was very charismatic in the ring. His matches have not aged well but should not take away from being an all time great.

6014.11.2022conker810.0The most famous wrestler from my home country, Andre the Giant deserves a 10. He is the best giant in wrestling history.

6307.10.2022Tomas Cunha9.0Nowadays, the word 'superstar' is thrown around quite a lot for any wrestler, regardless if they're appealing, recognizable or any good to begin with. If you're a wrestler, or you work for the WWE, and you're automatically a 'superstar'. But Andre the Giant was a SUPERSTAR in every sense of the word. A true larger-than-life character that seemed like he was from another planet. Andre was in pain in his last few years, and that's what prevents me from giving him 10, but even then he was still a massive attraction that captured your imagination the whole time he was on the screen. No matter how many years or decades pass, pro wrestling will never have another Andre the Giant. I can't believe some fans actually judge wrestled based on how good or bad their "star ratings" were! It would be dumb to have Andre wrestle any other style than as a giant, and it would've totally ruined his aura. He put butts in seats all over the world for DECADES while creating some of the most memorable moments in the entire history of the business, and every promoter in the world wanted a piece of the cake during his heyday (and even beyond). He's been dead for nearly 30 years now, yet there's no one who doesn't know the name of Andre the Giant. To say that he left a mark in wrestling and is an absolute legend would be a bigger understatement than Andre was!

6613.09.2022TheOneAndOnlyCactus9.0One of the biggest draws in the history of pro wrestling, Andre was an easy pick for my home nation. He was a sight to behold in the 1970s, a giant with such mobility, able to brawl and to be technical. A man of great charisma, an almost mythical creature, there was no other man I could pick for this country.

7007.08.2022Ozzy6.0Andre The Giant had one of the best careers that a wrestler of his stature could have had, but he wasnt as talented as many people say he was. Andre was very slow and in my opinion a little boring in the ring. along wiht his size not coming off as well on TV, in person he was a dominaant spectical, but he never reached the hype watching on TV without feeling inferior. I'll give him props for what he was able to achive with gigantism, but hes still not what people made him out to be
7101.08.2022Nohamolait9.0 
7222.07.2022Leth996.0In his early years he was a technician, kinda slow but impressive for his size. In the 1980s he was starting to slow down and he couldn't even legit stand inside the ring. Sadly, his latest years knock his rating down by a lot but with his amazing charisma I can't give him an insufficient rating

7603.06.2022CMX-710.0Judging his later career is pointless as he was not in good shape, but his charisma has always attracted despite his limitations. As for his wrestling skills, you'd better before judging him badly, you need to look at his early career, he was a very decent wrestler for his gobarites and could give a great match. He is a BIG Legend that cannot be surpassed)))

8013.03.2022Conquistador378.0His 70's and early 80's stuff is so much fun and very easy to watch. A box office smash - watch the crowd lose their minds and you will too! Had great matches with many but I think he had the most chemistry with The Masked Superstar (Bill Eadie/Demolition Ax). Vince forcing him to wrestle in the late 80's tarnished his in ring legacy, but in some ways solidified his legendary status by having him as a pillar in the golden era. It's sometimes painful to see his final matches, but I also can not deny his drawing power even in such an obvious degenerated condition.
8113.02.2022cpatchj10.0He's a 10! He's one of the greatest legends of all time. The most special of the special attractions. His mobility was gone by the time most people today have seen him wrestle, but "workrate" isn't what you should be looking for from someone like Andre.
8206.02.2022Wilins968.0 
8327.01.2022piledrivrr One of the biggest draws in the history of pro wrestling. There are many words to describe Andre, many nicknames. Undefeated in the WWF for over a decade, main event wherever he went, the list goes on.
8415.01.2022Vivien Desloges10.0I'm French. Right there here, Andre was and still our only draw. The man was a fucking international draw, the attraction anywhere you are. For a dude of his size, he did things another couldn't do. Andre in his prime, in the 70's and the very early 80's was a beast. He had some very good technical bouts as some iconic brawls. His late WWF work was just him taking VKM's money and still putting Hogan over even though he was clearly broken down. His greatness was just his physic. Nevertheless, he had ton of charisma. The first international wrestling draw and quite a model here in France. Everybody wrestler here want to have, at least, a quarter of his popularity. "The 8th Wonder Of The World", that wasn't just for the nickname.
8510.01.2022texasyosh10.0One of the biggest draws in wrestling history. There's this ethos to Andre that will never ever be replicated. Truly, a one of a kind talent.

8705.11.2021Mister Cute Face10.0If you've only seen his 1987 work and beyond, you need to see his earlier work. Dude dropped a leg from the top rope on Killer Khan in a cage. Amazing worker that was a force in the ring when healthy.
8825.09.2021No One10.0One of the most famous professional wrestlers of all time. The greatest Giant in pro wrestling history. Had the aura of a God. He had the unteachable "IT" Factor. Was the best big man in-ring performer throughout the 1970's up until 1984. Took part in many famous & memorables matches & moments such as the WrestleMania III match with Hulk Hogan. Legendary feud with Killer Khan. Memorable battle with Stan Hansen in NJPW that was one of the best matches of the 1980's. One of the greatest box office draws in pro wrestling history. He will be remembered forever. No matter how many giants have come through pro wrestling, NONE OF THEM have even come close to what Andre The Giant was. A Legend inside the ring & outside the ring. RIP to the legendary Andre The Giant.

9112.07.2021BrayanLaPre10.0In the Hulk Hogan and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin tier in terms of popularity gained as a professional wrestler. Also a remarkably athletic big man in his time who could bend any crowd to his will. The 8th Wonder of the World is a legitimate wrestling icon and gets an easy 10/10 from me accordingly. One of the most important figures in wrestling history.
9212.07.2021Nick O10.0Andre The Giant is a legendary wrestler. He was special and for his size he was well known and popular. R. I. P Andre
9328.06.2021TigerDiver9.0An absolutely spectacular athlete in his prime, and was one point the largest draw in North American wrestling history. One of the most popular wrestlers of all time, and a legit tough guy in and out the ring. Seeing his work during his latter years prevent me from giving him the perfect score sadly.
