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..

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.

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!

I am one of the few people that can admit that.....the Mr. Perfect dvd SUCKED!!! I mean I didn't wait years and years for just to get a good biography and very few matches that either ended by time limit drawer, him losing by pinfall or matches with a DQ ending. I think he only won 2 or 3 matches on the dvd by pinfall.
Anyway there's tons of Macho Man matches on his dvd, he didn't win all of the ones that were included but he won a lot of them at least. I especially like how a rare match with Steamboat before WM 3 was included. I also liked how one of his rare matches with HBK were included. They had another that I recently saw on Classics on Demand that was just as good that isn't on the dvd though. The match with him and HBK that was included shows that Savage was actually pretty athletic.
I wish that Savage actually beat Hogan once buy pinfall though with all the times he put over Hogan. Hogan could have at least laid down for him once. Instead, this dvd showed me how much Hogan actually stole the spotlight from Savage. Savage's first reign, Hogan barely ever gave Savage room to shine as champ. While, Savage's first 2 WCW title wins, Hogan had to come out and celebrate with him to try and steal the spotlight. 2 of Savage's WCW reigns also had him losing the title to Hogan the following night to Hogan. So yeah, I wish Savage beat Hogan just once so match could have been included.
What actually did happen though that could have been included is a match where he pinned Honky Tonk Man in a Steelcage. I don't like how the WWE includes DQ ending matches on their dvds. But at least, I think they only did it once on this dvd with Savage vs Honky Tonk Man. Actually 2 times, his match with Yokozuna as well. But they did at least pick a match with Yokozuna where he actually did pretty good against him. I remember one where Yokozuna actually destroyed Savage.
I think very few of his matches were left out. The best that probably was is when he beat Bret Hart on Saturday Night's Mainevent. He also had a rare good match against Jushin Thunder Lyger in Japan that I saw on youtube. But I don't think the WWE has the rights to that. They also left out his match with Crush at WM and his match with Dennis Rodman in WCW. But at least most of his memorable matches were included. It could have been worse, just look at the Mr. Perfect dvd.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars ランディ･サベージのベスト盤
Reviewed in Japan on June 21, 2019
10年前の作品ですが、待望久しかったサベージのDVDセット第1弾にしてベスト盤的な3枚組
サベージのWWFWCW時代の代表的な試合はほぼ網羅されてます
彼のキャリアの名勝負としてはあまり挙げられることは少ないですが、レッスル･マニア8のフレアー戦がストーリーライン、会場の雰囲気、そして試合後も含めて一番好きかなぁ
5.0 out of 5 stars Madness indeed

This is exactly what you would expect from a set devoted to Macho Man. The only thing missing is a Hall of Fame induction, if that ever happens. Get on it, WWE.
Update: He's in the HOF... posthumously. Also, the new one has a documentary which is what this set of discs was lacking. But if all you care about are classic matches and promos, this is the one to get. It's the "cream of the crop." ;)
5.0 out of 5 stars super
