Same. Not sure why Vince got me more than Hogan

because he seemed really hurt by their fall out and how Andre saw Vince as using him (which of course is true)

 

He left around 10 million to his daughter, so he was paid handsomely for what he did

Whoa, that’s more than I would have imagined. Good for him.

My uncle was a cab driver in St. Louis. Andre got into his cab at the airport.t Said he could barely fit in the back seat. The weather was in the teens and snowing. Andre rolled the windows down the entire way to the hotel. Said he froze his ass off but was happy to say he had Andre The Giant as a customer.

Watched it last night. Fantastic. WOW.

 

while it is an interesting and well done documentary, I believe the WOW factor comes from within the individual watching... for me, it was a WOW because it was my childhood and youth re-lived.

 

I watched wrestling in the late 70s with my Dad and it was always a treat when Andre would be on TV... and then into the 80s, WWF, Baseball, Street Hockey, Larry Bird, Atari, and Star Wars were all that mattered.

 

It was deeply satisfying to hear the whole backstory of Andre/Hogan/Wtestlemania, etc... these were the secrets of the universe for me and my friends as kids... Was Hogan crying? Was it real? Hogan really slammed Andre? No way the bear hug knocked out Hogan.

Oh... and 1993... Andre has been gone that long? I can't believe it.

The behind the scenes of Mania 3 was the best part. Leading up to the event Hogan kept trying to work it out with Andre how the match would go but Andre was focking with him and kept him guessing til the end. Only Andre could get away with crap like that.
