To bad
rating: 4
It's to bad that The WWE pulled the plug on this DVD. Randy Savage is one of my all time favorite wrestlers. His best years like Hulk Hogan was in the 80's.His feud with such superstars as George The Animal Steel and Ricky Steamboat is the stuff of legends. I use to like when George was always trying to steal Miss.Elizabeth away from Randy.And Randy got so jealus and mad when George sent her flowers and candy.
I also loved when Hulk Hogan and Randy joined forces and became The Mega Powers.Loved there match at Summerslam against The Mega Bucks. Classic stuff.
I also enjoyed the match with Randy and Flair at Wrestlemania 8 when Macho won The WWE championship for the 2nd time.

WWE Should Re-Consider Pulling This DVD
rating: 4
Regardless of whether Vince McMahon and Randy Savage get along he played a huge part in pro wrestling history in the US in the 1980's and 1990's and deserves a DVD retrospective. McMahon has put "bad feelings" aside for retrospectives featuring Hulk Hogan, the Von Erichs, Tully Blanchard and others, not too mention Brett Hart. Only if Savage were truly not interested in participating would there be a logical reason to not finish this collection.
That said, Savage had many memorable matches against wrestling's biggest stars over two decades. Matches against Hogan (WM 5), Flair (WM8, Jan 1996 Monday Nitro Title Win), Ted DiBiase (WM 4 Title Win), tag matches at SummerSlam 88 (Hogan/Savage vs Andre/DiBiase), Savage/Brett Hart vs Flair/Shawn Michaels from 1992, the list goes on. Win or lose Savage brought athleticism and high energy to his performances. He deserves a fitting retrospective.

Too bad
rating: 1
Ive always like watching Randy Savage wrestle. He had some awesome matches in WWE at a time when that style of wrestling didnt exist yet. I remember back in 93 when he nearly pinned Yokozuna for the world title on Raw until Crush interfered and when Crush attacked him and put him out of action. Dont remember why but I do remember those like it was yesterday. I really was hoping for this set but I guess i'll just have to watch old vhs tapes of Savage instead. He is currently on the new Surreal Life on VH1 as well, so it would have been a perfect time to release this dvd. Oh well.

MACHO SADNESS
rating: 5
Sadly this dvd has been dumped. It's a shame that due to personal problems Vince McMahon denies Macho Man the praise he deserves. He is without a doubt one of the greatest champions and entertaining performers to ever set foot in the ring but doesn't get so much as a classic superstars figure.
I am not sure what Macho Man did that was so bad (perhaps the cherry picking Stephanie McMahon rumours are true)But either way it's sad that Macho Mans fans can't get a good retrospective of this legend.
We deserve a DVD... Make it happen WWE.
