Both the legends got a chance to face each other in their respective career, but we never got to see them on the big stage. Andre and Flair could never cross paths in WWE or WCW, which would have been a delight to watch.

Other big men, Flair liked to work with, other than Andre

Flair had many matches with the big men from all generations in pro-wrestling he was part of. He loved his time working with Andre, however. When asked about in modern-day which big men he loved to wrestle, he said The Undertaker and The Big Show.
