Andre The Giant HBO Documentary: 14 Things We Learned
12. He Hated Randy Savage
One of the doc's most surprising revelations came from Hulk Hogan, who stated that Andre had a strong dislike for Macho Man Randy Savage, that he "hated him with a passion."
Savage was notoriously meticulous about planning every last aspect of his matches out, which instantly rubbed Andre the wrong way.
Hogan recalled that, in one instance, a nervous Savage waited until the last possible moment, when he was already oiled up and ready to head to the ring, to ask Andre about the finish to their match.
Andre simply barked at him, "No baby oil! Get out!", ahead of giving Savage a thoroughly stiff beating in the ring for his irritating behaviour.
Also, Hogan's impression of Savage is hilariously spot-on here.
