He also got stiffed by Warrior one too many times at a house show and just beat the shit out of him.Yeah, in Bret Hart and Ted DiBiase's autobiographies, they make it clear that Andre would make it known if he didn't like you, or if someone needed to be taken down a peg.
Simply put: Andre could kill anyone in the ring in about five seconds because of how strong and heavy he was.
All he had to do was come down hard on a drop.
Hart said Andre was as light as a feather when he wanted to be, but guys on his shit list knew it quick.
One example was Bam Bam Bigelow who in his first run with WWF in 1986 was something of an asshole and full of himself.
Andre got pissed at him for his behavior, and during a match came down hard on him ass-first in a rope drop and wouldn't get up. When Andre put his weight on you, you would not be able to breathe. So he sat on Bam Bam for about 30 seconds to make a point.
Bam Bam later said he thought he was going to die and shortly thereafter fixed his attitude.
Andre was known as a dude who wasn't afraid to shoot in the ring if he didn't like what you were doing at that moment.
