Andre the Giant

Character from WWE by WWE / TKO Group

The Eighth Wonder of the World — a gentle giant whose shadow loomed over an entire era, undefeated for fifteen years until one moment at WrestleMania III changed everything.

The Eighth Wonder of the World. Andre the Giant is the mythological foundation of professional wrestling's size mystique — a man whose physical presence defined what fans meant when they said someone was a monster. His undefeated streak of over a decade, his WrestleMania III match against Hulk Hogan before 93,000 fans, and his betrayal at the hands of his own manager Bobby Heenan made him the defining character of the Golden Era. The inaugural WWE Hall of Fame inductee.

Appearance

Seven feet four inches, 520 pounds — an appearance that required no costume or theatrics. Andre's ring presence is geological: he moves like something ancient and immovable, and the drama of any match involving him centers entirely on whether the impossible might happen.
