I like that look for Andre. He could maybe have battled Lou Ferrigno ("The Incredible Hulk") on a special event show that was running those days, called Battle of the Network Stars. Cheesy premise, but I thought it was actually pretty amusing.

Having some cross overs between Hulk, Spider Man, and Bionic Man would have blown my mind as a kid.
