In the final years of his life, Andre the Giant struggled with his gigantism, as his body began to deteriorate on him. He hadnt wrestled since the previous years Wrestleamania, losing the tag team titles to Demolition. At Wrestlemania 7, Andre helped the Big Boss Man during his match with Mr. Perfect, and he made some appearances with the Bushwackers, but it looked like his in-ring career was over. However, according to the July 8, 1991 edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Andre was seemingly going to return to the ring against Mr. Perfect at the Wrestling Challenge taping in Portland, Maine on July 30. Unfortunately, that didnt happen. It wasnt even a possibility that Perfect would have been able to make the match anyway, as he was taken off many shows in the summer of 1991 as he struggled with his back injuries.
