André the Giant's heel turn on a 1987 edition of Piper's Pit led to one of the biggest WrestleMania main events in history. While the match itself has aged rather poorly, who can ever forget Hogan body slamming 'The Eighth Wonder of the World' before a packed house at the Pontiac Silverdome? That's right!

What often gets lost in the conversation surrounding their WrestleMania III showdown is André's marvelous attire on Piper's Pit while challenging his former friend for the world title. Wearing a snazzy pink shirt beneath a white blazer with square black dots, André was dressed to the nines.

Not only did he tower above the 'Hulkster' on Piper's Pit, André's compelling riff on business casual clashed with Hogan's trademark yellow trunks and tank top. Their looming collision was plain to viewers everywhere; there was no avoiding this one.

The fact that 'The Eighth Wonder of the World' responded with cool indifference to Hogan's pleas to remain friends only made him more menacing. Lord have mercy!

André was all business, and the brief glimpse of his black suspenders while ripping the shirt and cross from Hogan's chest slammed the point home. André wasn't messing around. It's a good thing he wasn't wearing a tie or he might've killed someone!
