Spent a fair amount of time on that match.

IIRC, Vince asked Hulk how he thought the match should go, and Hulk had it all written out. Something like 3 pages of handwritten notes describing the entire match.

Vince showed them to Andre, but all Andre would say is it would be a good match. Neither Vince nor Hulk knew what Andre was going to do.

Once they got in the ring, Andre was following Hulk's script to the letter.
