This is a tuff one since I only saw him at the very end of his career and didn't/haven't seen a lot of his earlier matches.
1) fav singles match won: The Main Event 88 vs. Hulk Hogan
2) fav singles match lost: WM3 vs Hulk Hogan
3) fav tag match won: Survivor Series 88 vs. Jake's team, great build to the Jake/Andre feud
4) fav tag match lost: Summer Slam 88 vs. Mega Powers
5) fav specialty match: SNME March 1987 Battle Royal, great build to the Hogan/Andre match at WM3
6) fav tag partner: Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase
7) fav opponent: Hogan or Jake
8) fav gimmick: Giant Machine
9) fav fued: Hulk Hogan or Jake the Snake
10) fav era: Mid 80s
11) fav year: 1988
12) fav outfit: Black Singlet
13) fav manager: Who else, Bobby the Brain Heenan
14) fav move/hold: Choking opponent with his singlet strap
15) fav entrance music: Didn't have any, that I know of, so I'll say the crowd booing or cheering him as he entered the arena
16) fav promotion: WWF
17) title you wish he held: I think he held the right belts
18) wrestler you wished he wrestled: Earthquake or Undertaker in 1991, if Andre were healthier
19) match you wish he wrestled: WM7 vs Undertaker, if Andre were healthier
20) ppv you wish he wrestled on: Royal Rumble 1991, face to face with Undertaker in the ring would have been epic

I'll say this, Even though Andre was in real bad shape during those last few years of his WWF run man did he have some great feuds. Hogan,Jake,Duggan hell even his brief feud with Warrior was entertaining. Who could forget the ''Ultimate Giant!!''

Oh as you know his health was pretty bad since he did tag with Haku Andre was mostly on the apron while Haku did all the work. Warrior was IC champ during these matches so it was a couple months before all that. I understand getting Warrior over but like you said, hated seeing that. |

Warrior was IC champ during these matches so it was a couple months before all that. I understand getting Warrior over but like you said, hated seeing that. I recall reading after WM V Vince made the decision to just have Andre do mostly tag matches since as evident in the match with Jake at that event he just couldn't do it no more in that singles setting.
It was obviously true because besides that brief feud with Warrior, all his matches up until WM VI was in tag matches and that appearance in the Rumble in 90. Thinking about it all his matches for the rest of his career were primary tag matches. He might've had one single match on occasion but I'm pretty sure it was all tags.
