In-ring footage of André Roussimoff is masterfully complemented by stories from the folks who knew him during his peak, such as WWE head honcho Vince McMahon, former wrestler and announcer Jerry Lawler, announcer extraordinaire Mean Gene Okerlund, and even the ousted WWE legend Hulk Hogan.
Anyone who didn’t get a shiver sent down their spine while watching that André The Giant trailer isn’t a diehard wrestling fan, because that was an amazing jaunt through the sport’s history.
Hogan’s appearance in the production is a bit surprising, given his current relationship with the WWE, but it’s also expected, since it would be very difficult to tell Andre’s story without the other half of one of his greatest wrestling feuds of all time.
