Mini Biography
André René Roussimoff was born in a small farming community in Grenoble, France to Boris and Marian Rouismoff. His parents and four siblings were all of normal size, but André suffered from acromegaly, a hormonal disorder that results when the pituitary gland produces excess growth hormone. As the Giant grew up (very quickly, as he reached the height of 6' 3" by the age of 12) he began to often disagree with his parents. He left home at 14 and obtained a job with a furniture-moving firm and began to play rugby. At 17 he was seen training at a gym by several professional wrestlers. Impressed by his size, they taught him some basic wrestling skills and built a friendship with him. Later, when one of the wrestlers was injured, André stepped in for him. He would wrestle for nearly thirty more years. By his early 20s André had wrestled in Algeria, South Africa, Morocco, Tunisia, England, Scotland, and most of non-Communist Europe but had not found fame. In 1971 he came to North America under the name Jean Ferre and was mildly popular in Canada. Then he met a New York based booker by the name of Vincent J. McMahon (often incorrectly referred to as "Vince McMahon Sr") who renamed him "Andre the Giant," and billed him as 7' 4" (Andre was really closer to 7'). Soon Andre the Giant became a national sensation and was a much sought after wrestler. In addition he participated in television, movies, and commercials. With his wealth the Giant bought a ranch in Ellerbe, North Carolina where he would live during his rare time off and after he retired from wrestling in 1990. He died while in France after attending his father's funeral. André was cremated and his ashes were spread across his ranch. He is survived by his one daughter.

Professional wrestler

Weighed about 520 lbs

At time of death, was in Paris to attend his father's funeral.

Lost a few inches of height because of a back surgery in the mid-1980s, but still stood about 6' 10" even after his posture was effected.

Conceptual artist Shepard Fairey uses Andre's image in a series of posters and stickers as part of his "Phenomenology" project.

Ranked #3 in the "PWI 500" of the PWI Years (1979-1999) (Pro Wrestling Illustrated 20th Anniversary Special)

Awarded the 1993 PWI Editor's Award.

One of the 100 Greatest Wrestlers of the 20th Century (Inside Wrestling Presents, Summer 2000).

First inductee into the WWF Hall of Fame (1993).

A fan favorite for most of his career, Andre turned "heel" in 1987 in time for his WrestleMania III match vs. Hulk Hogan. He turned good again after WrestleMania VI, after Bobby Heenan blamed the Giant for losing the WWF Tag Team belts he and Haku held to Demolition.

After pinning Hulk Hogan (even though "the Hulkster" clearly had his left shoulder raised) and being awarded the WWF World Championship belt, Andre "surrendered" it immediately to Ted DiBiase (who, in a storyline, was said to have paid Andre to give him the belt, should he win it); DiBiase previously had tried, without success, to either win or purchase Hogan's title.

Andre's 1988 match vs. Hulk Hogan for the WWF World Championship, which he won in controversial fashion, was the 1988 Pro Wrestling Illustrated "Match of the Year." The match, which took place in Indianapolis, was part of the first professional wrestling program to air in prime-time since the mid-1950s.

Andre's most bitter feud began in 1983, against Big John Studd (who claimed he, not Andre was the true "giant" of wrestling). The feud included a series of bodyslam matches (including one at the first WrestleMania in 1985), where Studd had to pay $10,000 (later, $15,000) to anyone who could bodyslam him.

Made his last WWF appearance in 1991 at SummerSlam, as a second to the Bushwackers in their match against the Natural Disasters.

One of Andre's most memorable feuds was in 1981 vs. Killer Khan. The feud exploded after a May 2 match, wherein Khan (who had cheated throughout the match) broke Andre's knee by leaping on it. Nearly four months later, Andre returned and demanded a rematch vs. Khan ... and got it. He beat Khan so badly the Mongolian superstar had to be carried from the ring on a stretcher. Andre also won a series of "stretcher" matches against Khan in the fall of 1981.

Appeared in Wrestlemania VII; in the corner of the Big Bossman when he took on Mr. Pefect for the Intercontinental championship.

Contrary to popular belief, Killer Khan didn't break Andre's leg. Andre actually got out of bed one day, and his leg snapped due to his life threatening illness. He was out for weeks, and the story was that Killer Khan did it, to hype up their feud.

Had a very close friendship with WWE Referee, Tim White.

Sole survivor of the 1987 WWF Survivor Series main event, which pitted himself, King Kong Bundy, "Ravishing" Rick Rude, One Man Gang, and "The Natural" Butch Reed against the team of Hulk Hogan, Ken Patera, "Mr Wonderful" Paul Orndorff, "The Rock" Don Muraco, and Bam Bam Bigelow in an elimination match. He pinned Bam Bam Bigelow to win the match.

Was an expert card player and collector of fine wines.

Was a close friend of Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan.

Notable title wins include: IWA Tag Titles w/Michael Nador; Austral-Asian Tag Titles w/Ron Miller; NWA U.S. (Tri-State) Tag Titles w/Dusty Rhodes; Florida Tag Titles w/Dusty Rhodes; WWF Heavyweight Title; WWF Tag Team Titles (with Haku)

Washington Redskins head coach George Allen once offered Andre the Giant a contract to play professional football.

He would not commonly address people by their names, instead, if he liked someone he would call them "Boss".

It wasn't until he was an adult, on a wrestling tour of Japan, that he went to see doctors to determine the cause of his condition. The Japanese doctors diagnosed the cause as acromegaly, a rare condition in which victims are not expected to live beyond the age of 40. Andre lived to be 46.

Appeared in Wrestlemania VII; in the corner of the Big Bossman when he took on Mr. Perfect for the Intercontinental championship.

Godfather of Bill Eadie's daughter.

Andre was defeated by Jerry "the King" Lawler in a match circa 1975. Lawler had caused Andre to be knocked from the ring, and Andre was unable to answer the 10 count, thus sprung forth in infamous story "The Night Andre the Giant lost to a midget!"

He weighed 530 pounds at the time of his death.
