As the teaser for André The Giant states, this dude was a god.
Considering the actor and wrestling icon continues to receive big love from fans even today, that will be a very hard for the organization to pull off, if it’s even possible.
Even today, decades after his death, the WWE continues to push big hulking men like The Big Show and Braun Strowman in the hopes of finding the same celebrity embrace that André earned at his peak.
The long-awaited HBO documentary, which is directed by prominent 30 For 30 director Justin Hehir, will follow Andre’s life from its beginnings in France — where he was born André René Roussimoff — all the way to his transformation into the 7’4″, 500+ lb wrestling legend he’s remembered as today.
