Excited for this. I'll be watching as soon as it's up on HBO now.

Sweet. Looks cool.

Love it. Can't wait.

Saw a teaser a while back and started getting excited. Really want to see this.

Hopefully they show it on Sky Atlantic in the UK.

You don't have HBO in Scotland? Holy shit, even a shithole like Poland has it.

All the HBO stuff gets shown on Sky Atlantic, for example Game of Thrones or Boardwalk Empire.
They tend to show all the HBO documentaries too cos I watch them on demand.

Find out when it is and get the Now Tv app, then sign up for a 14 day free trial.

Looks great. Better than any actual wrestling product that WWE or anyone else has put out in the last 12+ years. As a result, I'm excited and I'd actually pay more than $12 to watch that. HBO wrestling > WWE wrestling

Yet they're still bound to peddle the "Andre was 7 feet 4" wwe mantra. I'd seriously doubt Andre was ever anything over 6 feet 10 absolute tops, he just looked bigger than he was due to the way the disease affected his features and limbs, huge head, huge hands, huge torso but actually pretty short legs if you compare them in proportion to the rest of him.

Fascinating man from history. I wonder if/how WWE interacts with HBO on this matter?

So this is on HBO now...anyone else catch it?

Yeah, watched it..... enjoyed it..... was cool to see all that early footage.....

I enjoyed it except for the 10 minute break they took to jerk off Hogan.

Yeah, but Hogan is the man!!!

newhere 2 find it online?

If you get The Movie Network it is on their "Go App"/On Demand.

nah nvm found it on watchwrestling. Was awesome.

Glad I could help

Just finished watching the documentary and it was really great overall.

:lol: at the fart stories involving Andre.

Kind of depressing to know Andre's giant condition was actually very treatable at the time and he could have had a better life in his later years if he retired a lot earlier. Instead he picked entertaining the fans over his own well being and paid for it big time in the end.

I don't know if I even found out "that much" new about Andre, but it was nice seeing a wrestling doc that isn't WWE produced therefore is actually good.

He loved Hogan and hated Savage, brotherrrrrr

Watched it last night, really enjoyed it, showed what a legend he was and how important he is in the wrestling industry, was really sad at the end, worth a watch if any of you havent seen it

You're welcome

Pretty damn good.

Those Timmy white feels at the end tho

Downloaded and watched it last night. It was really good, there wasn't much I didn't already know, but if I wasn't into wrestling it would've been really cool.

Ya, pretty much. And it looks like he's been through some stuff lately.

Weird part in the middle where they focused completely on Hogan for a bit. Like, I know Hogan is integral to Andre's story, but at one point I was thinking "Can we go back to talking about Andre anytime soon?"

Definitely killed the flow a bit.

Agreed.

I was amazed to hear Vince say Andre was "billed" at 7'4" but he wasn't sure of his actual height.

Just finished it. Really great. My only complaint is that I wish there were more Hulk Hogan

Totally forgot about those skits.

I liked it, the only thing I kinda... groaned (if that's the right word) at, was when they kinda talked about him beating the crap out of people he didn't like in the ring. They're saying "he would batter them, throw them all over the place, it was scary" .... and it shows him doing basic body slams and overhand chops to the chest. I get that they did it to add more of a mystique to the character of Andre, but it just seemed kinda meh to me

Regardless of the footage they showed, they weren't lying. Well documented that if Andre didn't like you, you were in for a rough night.
