00:01Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and I have to tell you my name, you know what I am.
00:06Everybody remembers that moment
00:09where they first saw Andre the Giant.
00:12It's almost like the whole room moved when he walked through the crowd.
00:17I was hooked immediately.
00:19He grabs me out of the chair and he holds me up like a little doll.
00:25He came over to me and just put his hand on my head.
00:30Keep my head warm.
00:32The cliche of Gentle Giant is Andre.
00:36That's what he was.
00:37He had this wonderful sense of humor about himself.
00:41Andre's having a good time.
00:42But he had a sadness, too.
00:45People would not leave him alone.
00:47They were making fun of him.
00:49He would cry.
00:50He was hurting. He was really, really hurting.
00:54There's a scene where I'm supposed to fall and he catches me.
00:56And they had to put me on cables so that he had no weight in his arms.
01:01He knew he wasn't going to live long.
01:04How do you replace somebody that big?
01:07He transcended wrestling.
01:09He was the guy.
01:12He knew how to create emotion, energy, drama.
01:19There's something magical about him.
01:21He was absolutely unique.
01:27He was special.
01:30He was special.
