Short jokes are all the rage in WWE whenever Shorty G is on screen. Michael Cole even got in on the fun by sticking up for Gable and taking a shot at The Revival's Scott Dawson.

When Dawson remarked that Shorty's lack of height is funny, Cole barked back, "Nonetheless, André...". What a pop. The announcer (who has now been in the company across four different decades, by the way) was referencing the great Andrè The Giant and shouting down Dawson's line.

What a colossal connection.
