Former WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio was there for the documentary, posing for WWE cameras in front of a large poster of Andre.

Also in attendance were The Big Show and WWE Hall of Famers Jimmy “The Mouth of the South” Hart and Hulk Hogan. It is worth noting at WWE mentioned Hogan is as such on their website.

While Hart isn’t pictured, Hogan and Show are both featured shaking hands in another photograph from WWE cameras.

As you may recall, it was back in 1967 when Andre turned on Hogan to align himself with Bobby “The Brain” Heenan. It was during ‘WrestleMania III’ in front of a crowd of 93, 173 paying fans in Pontiac, Michigan where Andre’s 15-year winning streak would end in what was a passing of the torch.

Finally, 2018 WWE Hall of Fame class inductee, Mark Henry was there for the premiere as he smiled for a photograph on the red carpet.

 

Andre the Giant was a nicknamed the “Eighth Wonder of the World” and was the largest attraction for WWE during the 70s and 80s. He stood at seven feet, four inches and weighed 500+ pounds.
