Andre's Scores:

Technical Ability: In his youth, Andre could pull off dropkicks and other athletic moves, but as his condition worsened, his in ring work suffered as well. Grade: C

Speaking and promos: Andre had a unique speaking voice to say the least, but was never a great, articulate orator. Still, he could fire up his fan base with the best of them. Grade: B

Popularity: From his roles in Princess Bride and The Six Million Dollar Man to his two Wrestlemania main events, Andre is off the charts in this category. Grade: A+

Competition: Before he joined WWE, Andre wrestled all over the world in various promotions, taking on the best they had to offer. Like Ric Flair, it's easier to list the people he hasn't faced. Grade: A+
