Did you like Andre the Giant with the long hair or the Short hair? I felt something was lost when he cut his hair, He just seemed more Wild when he had longer hair.


Also what was your favorite Piper's Pit moment? mY was when Roddy Piper cracked Jimmy Snuka in the head with the coconut and beat his ass with the belt-lol

I agree with you, Andre was a lot more scarier with the wild, bushy hair. As for Piper's Pit, the Jimmy Snuka moment was classic no doubt, but I also liked when he kidnapped the midget, "The Haiti Kid" and gave him a Mr. T haircut.

I'd have to say Andre with the long hair was more him. I had the doll with him having long hair back in the day. Though wih short hair he became a little bit more exciting to watch, and he also became a laughing stock.

I hated Piper back then, but him cracking Jimmy Snucka with that coconut was probably the greatest Piper's Pit moment. I don't know if you remember, but he also beat up a preliminary wrestler named Frankie Williams around that time too, that would be my second greatest moment.

Actually, I prefer the long hair. It reminds me of his character that he played on the Six Million Dollar Man; that bigfoot character. That's when I first heard of him and got to know him. I didn't know he was a wrestler then.

He came off as more of a bad Guy with the Long Hair. I guess when he was a Good Guy, the shorter Hair made sense

Who seen the hair cut match(when Andre got his hair cut off) between Andre and S.D. Jones vs. Big John Studd and Ken Patera? I saw it back then, and I now have that match on DVD showing Andre's highlights. Let me remind you, that DVD isn't too good because it didn't capture the best of Andre. Then again, it only costed $6.

I will try. I do have dual VCRs, one is a VCR and one is a VCR and DVD combo, I do have a dubb wire, and I haven't done it in a while, but I hope it can be done. Give me a couple of days, ok?

A VHS copy would be fine.
