"Dude, that's André"
"Yeah man he can really mess you up just by grunting at you"
"Legend has it that he once flipped a car over from the front while he was drunk and angry. You don't want to make André angry."

The mystique was everything.
He was a solid worker in the 70s and very flexible for his size.
By the 80s, he was both too fat from the alcohol and too overgrown from the perpetual excessive growth hormone that made him a giant to begin with.

Andre could really move up until the later 70's. Then he was too hurt and had gained too much weight. If you haven't seen young Andre, you haven't actually seen Andre.

There was less media exposure, and less being terminally online and meme poisoned to turn one cynical. He was the biggest person they had seen, and it was a spectacle.
