Over time, quite a few professional wrestling personalities have recounted legendary tales of Andre the Big’s ingesting, and Ric Aptitude has now reminisced about one among his personal experiences, the place he was astonished by the sheer variety of beers the late star consumed in a single evening.
Aptitude, who has a popularity for consuming copious quantities of alcohol, not too long ago narrated an anecdote about Andre throughout his latest look on “The Wealthy Eisen Present.”
“I used to be with him one evening on the Downtown in Charlotte in ’74 or ’75 when he drank 106 beers,” recalled Aptitude. “This is what occurred. It was getting so ridiculous, he was having one after one other and he was with Frank Valois [Andre’s manager], myself, and a man named Ivan Koloff, and we have been there ingesting and fairly quickly the bartender simply mentioned, ‘I am not believing this. Let me separate this out,’ trigger Andre was ingesting one beer and all people else was ingesting [another.] I feel he was ingesting like common Miller not Miller Lite, [it] wasn’t round then, and we have been ingesting one thing else so he simply separated it out. Frank Valois drank 56 and Andre drank 106. That is from 10 o’clock till like 4 within the morning.”
“The Nature Boy” additionally shared one other story through which he revealed that the late star drank all of the alcohol on a aircraft throughout their travels to Japan. “He drank each bottle of vodka on the aircraft. It was a 747 going to Tokyo — each mini bottle on the aircraft. I imply I do know different individuals are ingesting it too however let’s get critical, who runs out of vodka?” Aptitude mentioned laughing hysterically.
Aptitude fondly remembers driving the late Corridor of Famer round whereas he educated with Verne Gagne in Minneapolis, throughout Aptitude’s personal coaching below Gagne.
