when you move slower than a woman whos 8 months into her pregnancy there's pretty much no hope in you doing any sport successfully.

I'm pretty sure that Football players making the amount of money that they do is a rather recent development, and for his time he probably made as good as if not better money as a wrestler.

You also have to remember that he started his career in Europe.

Also he might have just been drawn to the showmanship of Wrestling far more than any athleticism or competition of a legitimate sport.

Wrestlers probably made more money, nfl players making millions is fairly new.

In 1979 Walter Payton made 450k, he was the 2nd highest paid player. Andre was making 400k in 1974

Yeah, with his size he really didn't have to be too active as a wrestler. But for football he would have always been running around.
