[1991-06-15-WWF-Superstars] update: Andre the Giant/Earthquake recap

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Recap of the angle with Andre and Earthquake from Superstars. They show Andre returning, and he has a bad limp and he's using a cane. Andre's brief promo is excellent.

Good build to this feud.

Andre vows revenge on Earthquake, but is due for reconstructive knee surgery.

They finally let Andre talk. He’s not done but will need to have surgery first.

Andre selling the leg was awesome. I am again shocked at how big Quake is being put over this late into 1991.

Andre may be a face again, but he's still in psycho mode when it comes to promos. He was good here, but knowing that there won't be an Andre/Quake series renders his talk irrelevant.

 

I think Andre used either a cane, crutches or a walker from the time of the appearance on Challenge that we saw a brief clip of until the end of his WWF career. How sad is that when one considers how impressive he looked walking to the ring in his heyday (and even as late as Mania III against Hogan, where he looked like a world beater riding in on the cart)?

 

Watching the megaphone shot from Quake again, does it seem to anyone else like it came uncomfortably close to Andre's crotch?

At least they have an excuse now to let Andre use some kind of support to walk. Had to be hard on the guy.
