I suspect that brain surgery like was in its infancy in the 70s when Andre first talked to doctors in Japan about it, and the high mortality rate is probably what kept him off the table. It is unfortunate though...but we didn't have to watch him get old and gray, which I think is better. Better to have lost him when he was still a reasonably young man than any alternative.
Andre the Giant earned the super heavyweight title as the Eighth Wonder of the World, he helped turned the wrestling business into a billion dollar phenomena, also, Andre the Giant is more than the largest, strongest wrestler in the world, he was the most kindhearted, gentle, honest and most beloved wrestler in the world, plus, he was a very friendly, happy, humble and a loving giant that was larger than life on planet earth, R.I.P.

You can be articulate and struggle with a language. Its about expressing thoughts and ideas and getting your point across. So this had nothing to do with English being a second language. Im sure he spoke French much better than English but that doesn't necessarily make him articulate. In any event Gene was talking about the character of Andre, who was a man of action and few words.
