Armitage Shanks Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 The whole segement on Andre's faltulance made me laugh, it was like something from a mockumentry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've all read and seen a lot of Andre over the years. This documentary brings all that together and adds even more to the story of an extraordinary person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Boy Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 On 13/04/2018 at 8:17 AM, boytoy said: 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 Simmons talks about it on his podcast how it’s basically a 30 for 30 as it’s the same format they used when he was involved with them!

Paid Members BigJag Posted April 18, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 18, 2018 It's certainly very slick and has a quality to it that WWE in house documentaries may be missing. I can see WWE learning a lot from this and improving on an already high quality product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoUseforaUsername Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) Everyone talking earnestly about how Andre wished to be treated the same as everyone else, wanted to be the same as everyone else. Ric Flair pops up and first thing he does is allude to the size of Andre's penis. Never change, Ric...

Sergio Bellend Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 This is showing over here on Sky Atlantic on Sunday at 10.10pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matbro1984 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Caught this on Sky On Demand last week. Held my interest but there weren't any groundbreaking revelations. A massive and complex man medicating with booze to deal with constant pain - that we knew. It's a shame we don't have archive footage of Heenan speaking candidly about him, as I think his would have been a noteworthy contribution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted June 16, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2018 Hoping this will be made available on Now TV. Is there any chance it'll be added to the Network or is that a no-go because it's not a WWE programme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted June 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2018 HBO made it and they have their own OTT service in America, so I doubt WWE will get the chance to stick it on their network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 It would depend on whether they agreed to shared rights or not. It does say in the opening credits ‘In Association with WWE’ and Kevin Dunn is credited as an Executive Producer, so it would all depend on what arrangements were made. I doubt that it will end up on the network, but that’s not to say it won’t. If it ever does, I can’t imagine it will be any time soon. It’s on Sky Atlantic again this Wednesday at 10:10pm for anyone that missed it or does have access to OnDemand. I liked it for the most part, particularly looking at his early career. The only issue that I had with it was that it seemed to get hijacked by Hull Hogan for about 10 minutes in the middle. Obviously I knew that they would cover Hogan/Wrestlemania 3, it just seemed like the focus went completely away from Andre for a bit in his own documentary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted June 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2018 Nothing new information wise, but enjoyed some of the clips i’d not seen before, and Flair giggling about the size of Andre’s cock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeRobertsParoleOfficer Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Really enjoyed it. Shame Andre elected not to have the op to tame his growth disorder. Only bit I found off was vinces 'I can erase negativity experienced' as the reason he can't remember the details of the fallout yet on his spats with hogan, warrior and Brent he remembered every detail to the letter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddyjoe Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Wow, I loved this. The part when Tim White and Vince started crying got me. God Bless you Andre! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
