A leopard and his spots



After seeing Andre's remarkable induction performance at the Hall of Fame in Newport, one can logically deduce that the guy has found Jesus and become an amazing human, a complete 180 degree shift from his early days on the tour. Yet he still has issues with Pete. He ripped him in his book as a cheapskate, quoting hearsay about being a $1. tipper, and then driving that point home in a televised doubles exhibition.

Then, at the H.O.F. banquet, a few hours after blowing away a packed house in Newport with his theme of giving back, he concedes he's loaded, then drops an F-bomb describing Pete. So, exactly how much has Andre evolved from his days of being an immature, spoiled punk on tour? The more things change...
