Get Ready To Bring The Giant Into Your Home
WWE

Every wrestling fan owes a huge thank you to WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) and HBO. The two are teaming up to make a documentary on one of the wrestling industry's greatest, Andre Roussimoff, or more commonly known as Andre the Giant. Andre earned his nickname as he stood at 7'4" and weighed nearly 520 pounds.

There isn't a set date, yet, but the film is said to be focusing on Andre's upbringing in France and his career in both WWE and the films industry. It has also been rumored that many of the wrestlers he worked with in his WWE career will be telling stories of the good ol' days in wrestling.

Vince McMahon released a statement to Rolling Stone saying that, "For more than 20 years, Andre the Giant's larger than life personality and unique charisma captured the imagination of fans around the world." This still rang true, even after his death in 1993. To this day, he is looked at as a role model and an icon in the wrestling world. I remember watching old VHS tapes that had matches between Andre and Hulk Hogan. Their rivalry was quite possibly one of the biggest in WWF (World Wrestling Federation, now known as WWE) at the time and is said to be a recurring topic in the documentary.

With all of this in mind, the only thing we can do is sit back and wait while we troll the internet for more details to be released from either HBO or WWE. Now, 24 years after his death, the WWF superstar will finally have his story told. Just like Andre, this documentary is for sure going to be larger than life.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
