Brutus Beefcake after being asked about his wildest plane story, didn't take long before recalling Andre The Giant making the trip one that no one would forget. Beefcake set up the story by explaining that, due to Andre’s size, using a standard airplane toilet wasn’t possible, and though the wrestler typically made sure to handle such business well before arriving at airports, a busy road trip into a long flight out of Tokyo meant he hadn’t had the opportunity to relief himself the night before. This meant the odds were higher than his own forehead that he’d have to go during the plane trip. And as Brutus Beefcake explained it, taking care of such bodily functions was easier said than done:

So, Andre, he’s up in First Class and he tells them, ‘I gotta go, I gotta go,’ and they’re like, ‘Oh my God, what are we gonna do? What can we do?’ They bring him to the back of the plane and into the area where they prepare the meals and stuff and get a big black garbage bag, and they string it up between some of those carts that they use for the drinks and everything. And so, they basically pulled the curtains and Andre goes to town. Buddy, I mean he is ripping farts.
It just sounds like they’re not human…I never heard anything like it.

The smell that started coming out from under the curtains there started coming forward. The back of the plane [back] then was where all the smokers went, so the back of the plane had a lot of people…There were people falling out of their seats, almost into the aisles. Gagging, puking, you know, crying, screaming.

And the boys we were all falling on the floor just laughing ourselves sick…It’s hysterical.


He must’ve half-filled up a garbage bag full of sh1te…That guy weighed 600-plus pounds…he could eat twenty pounds in a sitting. You know, it’s funny, the poor flight attendants. They had towels to cover their faces, and a couple of them were puking and trying to bag up this bag of sh1te. They finally get it bagged into that, and they bag it in another bag, in another bag, and then they put it in the elevator and they sent it down to the bottom of the plane just to get it the hell out of there…He just comes walking back up to First Class, ‘Oh, give me some wine boss,’ and starts drinking and starts eating again just like he didn’t miss a beat.
