Andre The Giant HBO Documentary: 14 Things We Learned
3. Andre Trolled Hulk Hogan On The WrestleMania III Finish
In the lead-up to the unforgettable, game-changing WrestleMania III main event between Andre and Hulk Hogan, Hogan was incredibly anxious that Andre wouldn't "do the job", with Andre being intentionally uncommunicative in order to keep Hogan on his toes.
He'd declare, "I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do" in earshot of Hogan, and even the day before the event, the finish to the match still hadn't been locked down.
Vince claimed that he knew Andre was a ball-buster and decided to let the rib carry on, helping keep Hogan in the dark, but eventually telling him, "Andre's gonna do the right thing."
Hogan insists he never knew the finish even when the match started, other than Andre telling him, "Don't worry."
Of course, Andre played his part wonderfully, put Hogan over and the rest is history.
