January 10, 201312 yr Author comment_5527135 Andre the Giant! Between 1990 and 1991 WWF stints, I guess he dropped by the UWF during this time. Andre thought UWF meant U Want to Fight? Clever.
January 23, 201312 yr comment_5529780 As I understand it, Andre basically asked Vince to go back on the road and said/threatened that he'd go work for Herb Abrams if he didn't. Wrestling was the only life that Andre really knew.
January 28, 201312 yr comment_5531217 This was a legit surprise I didn't expect. Andre looked fairly spry here.

February 11, 201312 yr comment_5534533 Albano calls Andre the 12th Wonder of the World. The background music at the beginning was annoying. Andre asks Albano what UWF stands for.
March 3, 201510 yr comment_5656959 Andre looked and sounded about as good as he possibly could here. You could tell that he was thrilled to be back in the business and with his fans. I don't know how Abrams would have used him if he'd stayed, since he couldn't work anymore and never was all that great a talker, but for one-time pops, you can't beat him. This Albano segment was so much better than the last one because of the live crowd. Lou was as fired up as Andre was, and we got a little bit of the old Capper, which is always a good thing and something that was lacking during his final days with Vince. I hope we see more segments of the Corner done in front of a live crowd. It's way early, but Andre's line about UWF standing for "U Want to Fight?" is a contender for October's line of the month. Who knew he had it in him?
May 26, 20169 yr comment_5754873 Didn't know this happened. Andre looks slightly out of context in such a small arena, but I absolutely did not know this was coming.
July 3, 20178 yr comment_5805936 Definitely a fun segment, Lou and Andre were both having a great time with it.
