I still marvel that, at one point, he could do a moonsaut. I thought I was just a little drunk, but I remember him doing that, it was nuts! Apparently Andre could do solid dropkicks and was pretty amazing in the ring when he was younger also( I would like to see videos of Andre in the 60s/early 70s). Sadly both will probably suffer the same fate and the fate that their size debilitates them after a certain age, much sooner than most wreslters.

Did he actually do one? I read an interview by . . . I think it was DDP saying he could do one, but that nobody on the roster was willing to take the move from him.

If he has done a moonsault, it wasn't on TV that's for sure as I've seen just about all his TV/PPV matches in WCW and he didn't do it there.
He's done a missile dropkick off the top rope a few times and even did a kip-up once against Scott Norton at Fall Brawl 97.

Heres a an old report regarding The Big Shows moonsault www.morphinenation.com/?p=125Anyway, the story behind this match was that Nash really wasn’t interested in jobbing to The Giant, and famously no-showed Starrcade ’97 (WCW’s biggest PPV ever, remember) claiming that he’d suffered a mild-heart attack. Allegedly White had been practicing a Giant moonsault for that match too, so I maybe can understand why Nash didn’t want a part of that.

^Perhaps but couldn't he have just done it in their match a month later? Or against any other opponents for that matter?
I mean, Vader did it to many foes and they somehow lived to tell the tale.
