Quick dumb Wrestlemania III question

[Sad sack ass fruitbooty]

I never understood why Andre, the heel, came out waving to the fans? And he obviously told the brain to do it too, which he did reluctantly one time, and when Andre apparently told him to wave again, he just patted him on the back. Wassupwiththat?

No big deal, just the heel waving to the fans as if they were giving him adulation, and being oblivious to it.

Andre always waved, I noticed that in a interview he did I saw on Youtube today when he was a heel, I guess that's his nature, besides would YOU tell him to stop waving at the fans?

[T Vang is a HO-DADDY~!]

Besides, a classic heel trick is to act as if the fans love you when they are booing you. This is basically one of the main tactics that Honky Tonk Man used in his prime.

[Citizen Snips Has Left]

Vince McMahon Sr basically brainwashed Andre to the point where he had to appear in public whenever possible, had to to talk to every inane fan, etc. It was probably second nature for him to wave.

Or he was thinking "ALL...I eat ALL who do not wave to the Giant...ALL...."

That's what I figured he was doing.

What amazes me though is how much garbage and debris was thrown at him and neither he nor security reacted very much to it (at least on-camera).

Today, if you throw anything in the general direction of the ring people usually aren't happy about it...

Back in those days, you could swamp the ring with garbage/debris and nothing would happen, so that's why nothing was done about it. Nowadays, you'd be Goldberg-speared into the ground.
