Andre the Giant documentary

Recommended Posts

Anyone catch this? Really well done.....was a really fun trip down memory lane as a kid.

My daughter has him in Princess Bride as her ipad screensaver.....guy was just bigger than life to so many generations....even to kids who never saw him.

 

Definite recommend.

Was going to post a thread about it earlier and forgot. Really well done, didn't know much about his life before WWF, they did a great job on that part of it.

 

Highly recommend for the nostalgia alone.

well? You don't mention something and not tell the story

Oh my bad I figured most people or a lot of people knew.

 

On the road he was too big for the toilet so he would just s*** all over the bathtub. Hogan tells a pretty good story about this. I'll see if I can find it.

It's not his fault he's the biggest and the strongest. He doesn't even exercise.

The best part was when HT said he couldnt remember where the place was, then later said it was Hugos, which opened at SugarHouse Casino in 2017. :doh:

 

Worse liar than Digby?

Watching it right now. If I don't post as much as usual, please accept my apologies.

 

Still can't figure out why an NFL team didn't hire him to just stand at the line and block field goals. or put him at TE and he could stand in the corner of the end zone and throw the ball up

I would guess its because, even in his prime, he was less agile than Po'Colts Gary

He could stand at the line of scrimmage and raise his 2 giant baseball mitts to block a kick

Loved it, glad you guys liked it also. I didn't love the part where they got off path with Hulk and stuff but, it tied in well to understanding the end for Andre.

When Hulk got sad, the waterfalls started, but when Vince started to tear up, Niagra Falls baby
