The WWE DVD release of 'Macho Man - The Randy Savage Story' is going to be notable for several reasons. It has been suggested that it's a precursor to Savage FINALLY going into the WWE Hall Of Fame. It is also WWE's first documentary style look at just what exactly did go wrong between Macho and Vince in the mid nineties. The DVD and Blu Ray will be available from Mid November and comprises a full documentary and various classic matches over a three disc set. Given the revelations in the documentary, and the rare matches being unavailable on WWE Network, this is one purchase that wrestling fans aren't going to want to miss. Having watched an advance copy, we've learned several things. The impressive documentary does not disappoint. The production is almost as good as WWE's recent Paul Heyman DVD release. There's plenty of Savage archival footage and loads of major interviews. Talking heads include Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Jake Roberts and even Lex Luger (who was dating Savage's ex-wife Elizabeth when she died). One of the most important interviews is Randy's brother Lanny Poffo. Even their elderly mother is interviewed. The other refreshing thing about the documentary is that it doesn't shy away from controversy. Randy's shocking treatment of Elizabeth is discussed. There's also WWE's first official referencing of the Stephanie McMahon / Randy Savage affair rumours. This is covered in a subtle segment and we'll get to that later as we explore the big talking points that we learned! Before we get started, a quick note on the matches in disc 2 and disc 3. They are a brilliant selection. You'll see Bruno Sammartino, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat and Harley Race all in action against the Macho Man. WWE have made a great effort on this DVD.
