I find it interesting that a lot of people into wrestling have this low opinion of Andre -- 'he was a drunk, he was a jerk, etc.' -- but Shawn Michaels, who was often out of his mind on pills and treated a lot of people at least as poorly, is a saint. Pretty much everyone acknowledges that Shawn was a dick in the 90's. Even HBK himself to a degree. He changed and turned his life around during his second stint in the 2000's, and people give him credit for that. I fail to see a problem with that.

I think the point he's trying to make is that alot of people excuse it far more with HBK because of the workratez and because he became a "good Christian". Despite there being numerous times since his rebirth that Shawn's shown that when push comes to shove, he's still the same douche he was back in the 90's. Just not as vocal about it in the 2000's, usually.
I mean, I get why people do it. Shawn's a talented dude and, probably more importantly, he can be a charismatic guy. People can have a hard time separating the performer from the guy that steps behind the curtain.

Part of me doubts the Andre/Warrior thing ever happened. Theres a half dozen Warrior/Andre house show matches on youtube, Warrior never adjusts how hard he clotheslines Andre. Bobby just bashed Warrior for everything on that Warrior DVD.
My guess is if Warrior really wanted to be a dick to Andre at that stage in Andres life he could have beaten him senseless. Andre could barely standup.
