Andex the Giant

A few decade laters, I would have assumed the character was a take off of Andre the Giant. Unless the character was named many years later -- as I don't recall his name being listed or spoken -- it seems to be purely coincidental.

WrestleMania allegedly had 93,000 in attendance. (Highly exaggerated, btw.) I wonder how many people were there at the Colosseum to watch the trial of fire and water.
