Tag: Randy Savage

Is this a collection full of classic matches? Absolutely not. But is this a really enjoyable, suitably-nostalgic and overall thoroughly entertaining look through the vaults of one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time? Ooooh, yeah!

Randy Savage Unreleased is the perfect introduction to one of the most important, endlessly charismatic figures in the history of sports-entertainment!

If you're a longtime fan, you'll probably enjoy this DVD, and if nothing else, you'll get a chuckle from the random yet endearing comments made throughout by the late, great American Dream.

It does have its flaws and some minor omissions but on the whole, WWE took the high road and provided Savage fans with a worthy retrospective for the legendary, one-of-a-kind Macho Man.

Overall, this DVD is undoubtedly fun to watch, and is largely an honest account of how difficult Warrior could be. However, its rating drops due to WWE changing tack once Warrior "came home" and presented an alternative history of his career, with the negativity trimmed way down.

If you were a fan at the time or if you're interested in learning about the WWF between the Hogan years and the Attitude Era, this DVD is a good option; otherwise, you may enjoy it, but there may be moments that make for a frustrating viewing experience.

Overall, this is an extremely fun and enjoyable wrestling DVD set. With a great WrestleMania and a memorable Hall Of Fame event, you can't really go wrong. It may have been slightly overrated at the time, but this year's WrestleMania weekend proves to be a series of shows that you simply must have in your collection.

Ricky Steamboat fans will love this DVD, but so will longtime wrestling supporters in general, who will be treated to plenty of truly great wrestling matches involving one of the best in-ring performers in history.

The only snag in terms of buying this DVD is that you'll probably already own many of the matches featured here but, even if you do, I still highly recommend this DVD; to me, it is one of the top WWE DVDs ever.

Hulk Hogan: The Ultimate Anthology is aimed at the Hulkamaniacs and it delivers exactly what it says on the sleeve; despite a couple of omissions, the vast majority of Hulk's biggest matches are here (plus other moments, including his 2005 induction into the WWE Hall Of Fame).

So, does Macho Man: The Randy Savage Story live up to the hype? To me, it does, but there are some missing chapters from the documentary, and the match selection is good but not comprehensive. I still rate this as a good DVD which old-school fans should buy; you just need Macho Madness to complete the package.
