Part 8/9:
Beyond the ring, André the Giant’s personality shone through. He had a reputation for being fiercely loyal to his friends. Those who entered his inner circle discovered a different side of the giant—one that was warm, friendly, and genuinely caring. The wrestler, upon returning to America after the match, had the opportunity to speak with Vince McMahon’s right-hand man, Pat. He learned that it was André who had specifically requested the chance to wrestle him, a gesture that transformed his anxiety into gratitude.
