WWE: Macho Madness - The Randy Savage Ultimate Collection

This is officially my new "guilty pleasure" in my DVD collection...my goodness I forgot what a freak of nature funny as hell ridiculously entertaining sports personality this man was!!! I picked it up this morning..put it in m DVD player and thought I'd leave it on as background while I worked but it was completely entertaining throughout and had me laughing and thrilled! Great matches, great drama and comedy and the bonus interviews alone..my goodness Randy on the couch with the shrink playing word association...(LOL) ...where is there anybody ANYBODY in todays WWE with a half of this guys personality? I wasn't as annoyed with the hosts as others are...and yes, current interviews with Randy would be awesome(hopefully) and a real bio would be great but I'm not reviewing what we don't get but what we do get.. and there is a lot of matches and personality. the only serious beef I have is with the WWE DVD authorers...the very fun promos on disc 3 can't just be run as a "Play all" if you choose the bonus feature which has the 17 or so promos of about 2 minutes each...you have to keep scrolling and pressing play after each one instead of being allowed to just watch them run...a minor irritant which will not reduce the 5 star review..

I bought this 3 disc set about a month ago.....And I am glad I did! This set is awesome. It's packed with interviews/skits,bonus stuff, and of course matches! It has a lot of matches and really takes you back to the good old WWF days. My 9yr old son & I like the modern WWE wrestling too....But not nearly as much as the old school! I grew up with 80's & 90's wrestling,. And now after purchasing DVD sets like this, my son also get's to experience the classic matches I did. He still plays with the old early 90's Hasbro WWF wrestling toys & ring I still have. And Macho Man is among his favorite wrestlers. Mach has always been my all-time favorite wrestler. Glad I got to see him wrestle as the world heavy weight champ,in our town's arena against Ric Flair. If your a WWF era fan, I definitietly recommend this! Or buying it for a huge wrestling/Macho Man fan even!

For me, Randy Savage is the only guy who is the equal of Ric Flair in regards to mic skills and overall flamboyance. Where Savage has the edge however is in the way that he made changes to his character at various stages of his career. I don't know of anyone else who was able to switch between heel and hero so effortlessly. This 9 hour set is amazing. From his early matches at famed venues like Madison Square Garden and Boston Garden to his glory days headlining WrestleMania you really get a feel for the arc of his career and just what an outstanding performer he was both in and out of the ring. For me the best matches were the WrestleMania 8 war with Flair, the Hogan battle from WrestleMania 5, and a match that I had forgotten about against Honky Tonk Man from Saturday Night's Main Event. Savage is a legend and this set definitely did him justice.

Very excited to receive this 3 disc set. Macho Man was not only one of the most controversial but colorful, athletic & entertaining wrestlers of all time. Here you get to see many of his matches in FULL! From his debut in the WWF against Rick McGraw in 1995, an otherwise dull drawn out match, but Macho certainly shows us a glimpse of things to come with some outstanding matches, none better then "The Greatest Match in Wrestemania History", against Ricky Steamboat. There are many of Macho's promo's, on the 3rd disc alone there are 17 and as matches are shown in full, we also see promos from Macho's opponents. His choice of manager - the beautiful Ms. Elizabeth. Plus their marriage shown in the extra's on disc 1. Disc 1 also includes matches against Hulk Hogan, Tito Santana, Bruno Sammartino, Honky Tonk Man & two matches against "Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase, the 2nd being a cage match. Disc 2 has him teaming with Hulk against Andre the Giant & Ted Dibiase before another match against Hulk at Wrestlemania 5. The beginning of the Macho King era V Hulk at Saturday Nights Main Event and a classic retirement match against Ultimate Warrior with a major twist after. Disc 2 rounds out with matches against Jake the Snake Roberts and Ric Flair. Disc 3 has him up against Shawn Michaels, Yokozuna plus 2 matches against Ric Flair this time from WCW and rounding out disc 3, are WCW matches against DDP & tag team action with Sid Vicious against Kevin Nash & Sting. I would've given this 5 stars, but as previously mentioned by other reviewers, having Matt Stryker & Maria host this Collection was not only an insult to Macho but his many fans. Half the time I couldn't hear or understand what they were saying as they were talking or laughing over the top of one another. Apart from that, if you're a fan, this is an outstanding collection of the one and only "Macho Man Randy Savage".

Well i Preordered this because Macho is one of the few wrestlers i would spend the bucks to hear his unique voice and see matches i missed at the time. Man,,well worth it.. The Jack the Snake grudge matches alone make it worthwhile...plus..the extras on the second disk have tons of his interviews before matches!! something other sets leave out... forget the bad stuff theses guys say about the hosts..i like maria..F em.. If you have even a fleeting interest in hearing macho man's OH YEAH! again or see the wedding again..yes..its included.. as well as lots more.. this is a must set for all hardcore old school wwf/E fans... dood...just get it..you won't be sorry.. ive been a fan for like...30 years and besides..its not that much...well priced for what you get......one last time.. well worth it...just do it//and get into it.. dig it? :P

No documentary, Matt Striker and Maria as hosts to the dvd. Might as well of had Gold Dust and Doink the clown instead. Macho Man lost alot of these matches on this dvd. This dvd is an insult to all fans of wrestling. Randy Savage is a top 5 wrestler of all time, and gets no respect by the makers of this dvd. Not one interview was done with Randy Savage, or any past or present wrestlers. I am done watching wwe. I am done buying any wwe products. As a life long wrestling fan I will only watch TNA. WWE has turned there back on all there older fans. Since WWF became WWE it has bean a long slow decline in quality of programming and talent. Bring back Bobby the brain Heenan. RIP ECW.

Plain and simple! The most bang for your buck in a WWE product. Sure there is no interview, but Randy Poffo was very private in his later years. Randy "Macho Man" Savage was part of the greatest story lines in WWE history. If you are a casual fan remembering yester-year, this is the collection for you. He faced all the greats, so you get a sweet mix of them in the 80s and 90s. Other reviews go match by match so no need for me to do so. WrestleMania III and WrestleMania VII are cream of the crop. Freak Out... Freak Out for only $10.00 ...and yes, the snake that bit him may have made him ill for a few days, but the snake died after... wow, that's one Macho Man

For starters, there was only one Macho Man Randy Savage! He had an undeniable charisma and will forever be remembered as one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all time. This DVD offers a pretty good match selection along with the crazy promos he shot. While there are some flaws, like not being able to hear from the man himself; we all knew deep down, that was never going to happen. At least they didn't try to do a smear job on him like they did for The Ultimate Warrior's first DVD. So, sit back and snap into a Slim Jim; because this is a collection that is essential for any fan of the Macho Man!
