Review – ‘Andre The Giant’ HBO Documentary (2018)

by Nile Fortner

In the late 70’s and 80’s, WWF (now WWE) superstar Andre Roussimoff, better known as Andre the Giant, was a professional wrestling superstar. Many people already knew that the story-lines in TV wrestling were fake and some people had a hard time accepting the truth that Andre stood seven feet tall and weighed 500 pounds, a behemoth of a man.
