Customer Reviews

A Giant Disappoinment!
I was so looking forward to Andre the Giant's arrival on DVD. Like many of us that watched WWF in the pre-Stone Cold era, we know that it just didn't get any bigger than Andre. That's why I was hoping that this WWE release would be in the same vein as the previous DVD releases about Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, the Undertaker, and others. I figured that it would have a documentary about his life (preferably the A&E documentary that WWE authorized and sold on VHS), followed by supplements that included many of his most famous matches. Instead, this release is nothing more than a 90 minute DVD transfer of an old VHS video that has Lord Alfred Hayes (a wrestling promoter from back in the day) talking over several of Andre's matches. He never has anything more to say than, "Look how massive Andre is!" There's absolutely no insights into Andre, his upbringing or any of the rumors that long shrouded his mystique. In my opinion, WWE missed a supreme opportunity to give the older and younger wrestling fans a fresh look at this legendary Hall of Famer that was long overdue.
