IF Andre the Giant had

the gifts and skills of the TOP MMA guy do you think he would have been unstoppable?

not a huge MMA fan. Love boxing. Use to like wrestling in the 80s and 90s but it turned to total dog chit after that. you use to have old women in the audience who believed it was real, you had people debating back then is it real or fake. most fans knew it was a show but there was always that smalll part of you at times that said to yourself "damn this one might be legit" Vince destroyed wresting

but about ANdre. would he have been unbeatable in your opinion?

thats why is Said " IF" he had the skills. that means being agile and chit as well

yeah as big and slow as he was in real life in his later years he could have been beaten without much tussle

when he was younger though dude could run and jump. if dont believe watch the six million dollar man episode with bigfoot. thats andre in the suit. in the 80s he was like super slow motion though

Nobody is unstoppable.

so IF a 7'-4" 550 lb monster could strike, wrestle, move, and had the speed of a top MMA fighter you want to know if he'd be unstoppable?

IDK - what would happen if an elephant had the speed, claws, teeth, and drive of a tiger. Of course he'd be unstoppable because physics wouldn't apply to him anymore.

Doesn't matter the skills, all you would have to do is get on his back and wrap your arms around his neck then hang on until you choke him out.

If Andre the Giant had been a heel, he'd be Andre defiant.

The stunts were definitely real even if they were acting, and I agree they had the kayfabe then. You look at MMA today and that has replaced the coliseum gladiator role in entertainment. The selling point there is brutal realism, but the spirit is the same. The promos are social media chit, the weigh-ins, the personalities. People are under the kayfabe again but it has been refined.

I definitely think Andre would clean house if he could fight like GSP. I mean GSP is like 5'10'' and he destroyed, if Andre had those skills it would be ridiculous. I think the cheesy factor in MMA is getting detectable while boxing is making a comeback. Deep down I think people crave to watch bloodsport, back in the 90s people would watch WWE and be convinced that it was actually two dudes trying to kill each other.

If Andre the Giant could wipe his own azz, he’d be Andre the self reliant.

What kind of question is that?
If I had the gift and those skills, I would be a top MMA star as well. If a 7 foot tall guy was one of the most talented and skilled fighters he would win against people smaler than him, yes. But you could as well ask, what if Andre the Giant was wearing an Iron Man suit, could breath fire and had Spier-Man powers.

He would be stopped by the 265lbs. weight limit.

No because getting down to the 266lb limit would destroy him if he could even do it at all.
