Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted April 11, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted April 11, 2018 Spoily photo: Â Â Andre/Hogan Vince, please don't tell Andre I tried to write the match up because he will kick my ass, He might think Ive lost it! Or even worse, Don't trust him! 1) Slow entrance into ring, get the feel of the crowd, keep my distance, intense shirt tear, get the place rumbling, move slowly walking towards him talking smack enough to piss him off. 2) Andre pushes me first, then back and forth. 3) Andre throws first punch, block, 3 big punches, go for slam, Andre falls on me, crushes me for a 2 1/2 count very close to the ropes so Andre can pull himself up, I roll opposite way to distance myself so fans dont see how hard it is for him to pull himself up. 4) Get some heat, walk on my back 5) Stretch my back, beat on me, slow grind to get the building rumbling, a few body slams, stand on my back, make it look like he has a chance, keep Andre up and stay down selling, selling, selling -- damage. Choke me, headbutt me, miss 2nd ... Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I'm hopeful to be able to download this tomorrow so I can watch over the weekend. I have high expectations for this, I really enjoyed the Ric Flair special they did a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so there's 99% chance it's bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bukamania Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Excellent documentary. I found to be even better than the Flair one they released last year personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly pedantic but the the Flair one was by ESPN under their 30 for 30 series which was created by the sports writer Bill Simmons who also ran the ESPN site Grantland (which was ace). After Simmons got fired a couple of years ago from ESPN for frequently criticising NFL commissioner Roger Goodell he started a new website and signed up with HBO. The Andre documentary is the one he has been wanting to get made for years and I think that is the first one in that partnership. His current website actually produces some pretty good wrestling content, aimed largely at a sports rather than a wrestling crowd. This article on Taker recently is quite a good read for example: https://www.theringer.com/2018/4/4/17195692/undertaker-career-wrestlemania-wwe-wrestling-streak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bukamania Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 My bad, I thought the Andre documentary was ESPN as well. Didn't notice it was HBO until you guys said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
