DVD Reviews of WWE - Andre the Giant
DVD Review: No justice
Summary: 1 Stars
No Justice like the title says. Please do not waste your time nor money buying this DVD.. Andre is a legend and Vince did not do this legend any justice. Alot of blk and white videos and the match selection is the worst, so be warned...DVD Review: Good DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
This dvd may just be a re release of a coliseum home video but it highlights some of the bigger matches in his career. But I think this is why I like this dvd because after WM III I don't really care for what direction they went with Andre. I like the old coliseum video footage. I wish they would release more of it. I always liked Lord Alfred Hayes he was one of the reasons why I liked watching old coliseum videos I would rent back in the 80's. Characters like him is why I enjoyed wrestling so much in the 80's and 90's. DVD Review: Alright could have been better
Summary: 2 Stars
This dvd is just a rehash of an old vhs release. His matches only go up to Wrestlemania 1. It is kind of cool that all that old footage is on DVD. However, I think WWE could have done a much better job. They could have released a documentary type of disk with Andre's best matches on him. I think they owe the fans that instead of this. I would only buy this if you could find it for 5 bucks used somewhere.DVD Review: Crap
Summary: 1 Stars
With all the footage WWE has, you'd think this would be better. Its an old video with bad commentating (kind of like listening to TNA) and the matches are awful. I want to know why Andre was so popular but this doesnt provide any clues.DVD Review: Good, but should have had more...
Summary: 3 Stars
...a bit dated is this DVD (Lord Alfred Hayes is narrating!), judging from who is on it, and the WWF logo. Funny, too that when Hayes says "WWF," the "F" is cut out. Guess the World Wildlife Fund is dead serious about keeping that name theirs.
Anyway, Hayes, though generally a buffoon throughout his wrestling, managing and commentating career did have a long friendship with Andre, and he provides a number of interesting insights about the man. The matches we see here pretty much cover 1981 to '85, and there hasn't been a follow-up, as there should be on Andre's amazing career.
Some squash matches such as against Moondog Rex, and the three on one match against Johnny Rodz and two no-names were entertaining, and reminded me of the old Gran Prix matches where Andre would take on more than one opponent. Pretty much the same outcome. There is one match from '76 from I think Los Angeles, where Andre stomps Black Gordman and the Great Goliath. The bad guys hammed it up well.
Another funny one is a boxing match with Gorilla Monsoon in Puerto Rico. The box is in error; Monsoon's manager for the event was Hugo Sabinovich, not the Grand Wizard, but he doesn't figure in the decision.
What's missing is: matches with Killer Khan (when Khan allegedly broke Andre's leg and the rematch in which Khan nearly gets "killed"), early Gran Prix matches from the 70's when Andre was in his physical prime, and matches from his many tours of Japan. According to the Canadian Slam! Sports site, Andre had a long series of matches against one of Japan's legends, Shozo Kobayashi. I'd love to see some of those, and matches against the likes of Antonio Inoki and Seiji Sakaguchi.
In any case, this is a WWF show, with a number of memorable bouts, but it did leave me wanting a bit more. This is good for wrestling fans gaining some background info, but there must be more out there.
