WWE: Andre the Giant (DVD)

I only caught a little bit of Andre's career as a kid, but I always thought he was cool. I heard this was pretty good, and I have to admit, I bought it and watched it for the first time, not really knowing what to expect. It was fascinating!!!! I am more of a fan of Andre the Giant now than I had been as a kid, I have so much more respect for who he was and what he did with his life in the face of severe adversity. He has become a hero of mine.

Love the wrestler and the matches are pretty good too

This was a great biography of his life. Too bad they didn't have more one on one interviews with Andre himself. Sad the way he passed away.

Excellent HBO Documentary of the 8th Wonder of the world, although I wish they would have included more of Andre The Giant Matches, it's still very much worth it. The extra matches also has Jesse Ventura commentary, (which was a surprise) excellent and so well worth it for any Andre The Giant fan! I want more!!!!!!! 👍

I am definitely not disappointed at all in this DVD. I think it's great. Not bad at all for 10 bucks. Worth it.

This is a pretty decent little DVD for Andre but hopefully they put something out soon with some more depth and matches. I think an entertainer the magnitude of Andre and considering what he accomplished is more than deserving of it. But as far as being really the only product out there solely dedicated to him it's ok. I can't complain about the cost but I'd be willing to pay more for more content that's for sure. Definitely would like to see his career be given the respect and attention it deserves in DVD form. I can't say it's a must have purchase but again considering the lack of available content on him if you're a fan it's worth picking up... I guess ...

It was sad for my husband to see at some parts of the DVD. He is a cry 😭 baby. The life of the Giant. I loved it know is life story.

Before DVD, the WWE was a pioneer in wrestling for introducing home video revenue to the industry through their extensive output of WrestleMania tapes, character profiles and super tapes from events around the world. One of their earlier tapes was a profile on Andre the Giant, featuring his bouts with Big John Studd, Ken Patera and other superstars. There are also several squash matches featuring as many as three opposing wrestlers. The highlight for me was the "Return of the Giant" match against Patera where we get to see a bit of a mean streak with Andre throwing Ken into the guardrail and fighting on the outside. This isn't quite a direct port of the VHS to DVD because we get the added bonus of commentary from a Michael Cole and Taz, the Smackdown! announce team at the time, for the Andre/Studd WrestleMania match. Unfortunately, an Andre match without the crowd noise and the superlative commentary team of Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura isn't much fun at all. Sadly, this commentary is hard-coded into the show, so there's no alternative to use the live track. Despite not being one of the better presentations from the WWE, this DVD offers a ton of rare footage that isn't available in other places. It's worth a look if you're an Andre fan.

Tolle Doku über den faszinierendsten Wrestler und Mensch der auf diesem Planeten gewandelt ist.

と言われた故アンドレ・ザ・ジャイアント。 このＤＶＤはレッスルマニア1までのアンドレの 試合がおさめられています。 お約束のハンディキャップマッチ、異種格闘技戦（？） ＢＪスタッドとのアングルからレッスルマニア1での大団円。 現在のＷＷＥの「作り込まれた」エンタメ路線とはまた違った Ｂ級楽しさがあります。20世紀の真のプロレス・レジェンドの一人 の半生を、楽しんでください。

A fantastic documentary about the life & career of a sport entertainer ahead of his time. It was captivating from start to finish. To see the impact Andre had not just in the world of professional wrestling but also in Hollywood; shows why he so adored by so many. Even Vince McMahon was crying reminiscing about the 8th wonder of the world. The only con, I wished they included classic matches of his.
