Top 50? More like Top 10.

Such a crying shame WWE/Vince never extended the hand of an apology to just let by gones be by gone.

Without Randys involvement, I can't see this being any better than your average run of the mill WWE 'Docco'.

I love the photo choice and the retro title styling, but I really hope (but doubt it) that this isn't the final artwork. The title needs to be flipped too.. should be "Macho Man: The Randy Savage Story". The current positioning just sounds weird.

Looking forward to this.

This.

I noticed it once the pre-order went up. My guess is this is the first step towards his HOF induction. Not sure how I feel about it since his wish was to have his brother and father inducted as well. From what I understand he was quite upset when the Von Erich clan were inducted, because they staved off his particular request.

I'll be very interested in the doc but am doubtful it'll be anything more than white-washing history like the Monday Night Wars docs currently are.

[DetroitSportsFan]

I'm pretty sure Lanny Poffo (his brother) was involved in this, so it should be at least decent.

Lost all respect for Vince after the Ultimate Warrior DVD.

[Randall Flagg]

Wasn't there already a Macho Man collection?

I'll have to pick both this and the Paul Heyman blu-ray whenever I come across them in the wild for a good price.

WWE is putting out a DVD documentary about your brother. Tell us about the project.


Lanny Poffo: My mother didn’t want to be in it, and I talked her into it, and she was phenomenal. You know she’s going to be 88 years old in January. She’s so…I don’t want to get negative, she’s still harboring the resentment that nobody offered her condolences from the WWE. And I said, "Mom look at it this way, this is not about the Macho Man, it’s about the Macho Fan. And they’re the ones who gave him his lifestyle. And they’re the ones that made him go on top of the mountain, and he lived there for many, many years, and he had a great life, and it’s all because of the Macho Fan."

How were you involved in the documentary?

Poffo: About a month ago I texted [producer Kieran Bent] and said how are you doing with the project and is there any way I can get an advanced copy or do I have to wait until November 18th? So he says we got a rough cut I’ll send it to you. And you know, they were asking me all these questions, and I was just treating it like a shoot interview, and I had no idea that they would use any of that. They used all of it!

They used all the controversial things, and there were a few things that I didn’t like, and there were a few things that I thought were phenomenal, but all in all it is a must have! The two people I called up on the phone to thank were Bret the Hitman Hart and Diamond Dallas Page because their remarks were beautiful… And you know who was great, I don’t know where they found it, I never seen it before, but they had highlights of an interview they did with [Randy] before, that they did with him in 1993 or 1994 where he was at the fork in the road of his career, and it was like he was narrating his own DVD.

Are there any of your signature poems about Randy that you can give us?

Poffo: Behold this humble entourage
Their heads are bowed in reverence
At the very slightest whisper of one name
Exalting in his splendor
Which is altogether fitting
Of the people and the land from whence he came

False modesties are commonplace
As kingdoms rise and fall
But I the Genius full of glory and renown
Say the Macho Man is everything
That everybody, everywhere
Would ever, ever want to wear a crown

I say this King deserves a Queen
Beside him on the throne
And Sherri is the fairest in the land
Nobody else is worthy
Of this monumental honor
And the regal splendor of his royal hand

We witness the dethroning
Of one Jim "The Hacksaw" Duggan
Whose crown and robe are in a state of ravage
I now remove my mortarboard
And place it near my heart
And thus proclaim you "Macho King" Randy Savage”


That was the only time that Randy and I were ever together in a WWE ring.

Savage had a VHS released by WCW. I wonder if they'll re-use the interview footage like they did with Sting.

[DasRetroKid]

I'll definitely be picking this up.

I recently watched "Breaking Kayfabe" with Lanny Poffo and highly recommend it if your a Randy Savage fan.

Also got to see him live recently at a local Wrestling show and he still does the poetry and everything.
