It has been 32 years since wrestling legend Andre The Giant died at the age of 46 in 1993. The 7ft 3in former WWF star and so-called "Eighth Wonder of the World" was one of the most iconic and instantly recognisable stars of the wrestling world.

Born Andr Roussimoff, he weighed more than 35 stone and was a formidable opponent to anyone who dared to stand opposite him. At the time of his death, he was in Paris to attend his father's funeral but died in his sleep at the Hotel De La Tremoille.

It was around six months after his last official match where he teamed up with Giant Baba and Rusher Kimura to defeat the trio of Haruka Eigen, Masanobu Fuchi and Motoshi Okuma as part of All Japan Pro Wrestling's Tag League in 1992.

And having laced up his boots and fought iconic names such as Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage and Antonio Inoki during a stellar career, it has often led fans to imagine what a still-living 78-year-old would look like now had he still been alive.

And using Midjourney, the Daily Star has jumped into another timeline and found Andre still giving it his all in the ring despite his old age.

Greying on top and sagging a little lower, the icon still strikes fear into the eyes of anyone who dares to enter the ring with the former WWF World Heavyweight Champion.

We'd like to think he'd only be making sporadic in-ring appearances these days, and would be running a training school where only the best of the best would attend to learn from the man who by now would have had around six decades of experience and stories to share.

If he was still alive, you would assume the pre-Wrestlemania Battle Royal named after him would have been won by him at some point, and you could be rest assured that at some point in the last 30 years he would have squared up to the iconic Big Show be it in WCW when he was The Giant or during WWE's Attitude Era.

Speaking of Battle Royals, Andre's last official WWE match was in such a match in May 1991 against 16 other men to see who would become the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship.

The battle was won by The Texas Tornado known to most as Kerry von Erich and featured the likes of Bret Hart, Greg Valentine, Jim Duggen and The British Bulldog.

His last singles match for WWE was against The Ultimate Warrior for the latter's Intercontinental Title Andre lost, but by that point in his career he was mainly a tag-team wrestler anyway.

Who knows what could have been had Andre still been alive today . . .
