When's the last time there was a body slam angle like that?

Was Cena involved in one?

Rusev I believe

Wasn't really an "angle" though

So what I'm saying is I don't know.

Also Yokozuna had one

Forgot about the Rusev thing, but did that ever happen? I remember he was supposed to award a Maserati to the winner. I can't remember actually seeing the challenge tho

Don't think it ever did :lol
 
Miz with the R-Truth promo before R-Truth..Miz thought they were in Oklahoma but really was in Nebraska.. :rollin
 
here is a great cage match from 83...that vince didn't bring up much as andre slams studd...and then off the top rope...yall gotta see da end to this match...pretty brutal...
i remember seeing this match as a kid tho, so they did put it on tapes, tv, and referenced it occasionally...two years before WM1 when andre "finally" slammed studd...
kind like when hogan "finally" slammed andre at wm3 :lol ....

1983 was Andre's last decent year.

He was sub-par really after 1981 with the broken ankle...but still showed signs of old andre until about end of 83...like in that cage match i posted...

also - his tag match with snuka vs the wild samoans from 83 was good too

:{
 
Andre's 1981 Stretcher Match versus Killer Khan (who they kayfabe blamed the ankle break on) may be my favorite Andre match.

Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to find in full form online...would hope its accessible on the network somewhere...?...8o


If I could suggest just one Andre The Giant match...that's the one...it may have won MOTY in 1981...


:Nthat
