Andre who has a carved a niche for himself for being one of the tallest wrestlers of all time. In the picture, Andre is seen seated on Dwayne's Grandfather.
As per Dwayne's post, they both were best of friends who would practice wrestling with each other. Unfortunately, Dwayne could not spend much of his time with his grandfather as he died early.
As per his post, it read, "What a crazy throwback from the 70’s. Here’s the “8th Wonder of the World” André the Giant, using my 315lb grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia as a booster seat and making my granddad look like a little boy. They were the best of friends, wrestled nightly, tough as hell and as you can see by their smiles and open energy – they lived like to the absolute fullest. My grandfather died when I boy so I never got to know him as a man. Would’ve loved to have raised a tequila with these men. Would’ve also loved to have wrestled them too – those would’ve been fun ass kickin’s for me to take ??#thegiant #andthehighchief ??"
