Andre the Giant – Closer to Heaven Paperback

He was calle ‘The Eights Wonder of the World’ and became an inspiration for millions of fans all over the globe. While his in-ring exploits were full of flash and spectacle, the personal life of Andre ‘The Giant’ Roussimoff was complicated by an excess of partying and the devastating physical toll of his deteriorating health.

Arguably the biggest name in pro wrestling history. Andre’s career paralleled the shift from wrestling as a sideshow attraction to a multi-billion dollar global industry. Culminating with the biggest match of Andre’s career, this book glides through all of Andre’s triumphs and regrets and serves as a fitting tribute to a man who helped change the wrestling business and became a legend in his own right.
