Machismo Fan

Full listing of the Savage DVD:

He was one of the most controversial superstars in history of sports entertainment, through his complicated relationship with Miss Elizabeth, his dramatic WWE championship tournament run at WrestleMania IV, the formation and explosive breakup of the MegaPowers with Hulk Hogan, his reign as the Macho King, and his shocking jump to WCW. “Macho Man” Randy Savage brought a chaotic poetry to the ring. He’s widely considered one of the finest in-ring competitors of all time, and his interviews were always a sight to behold. For the first time ever, fans can relive the entire storied career in Macho Madness: The Ultimate Randy Savage Collection, a 3-DVD set that spans two decades of exciting and intense matchups.

Can't believe they put the Ultimate Maniacs on there, that was an abortion of an angle if ever there was one leading up to Survivor Series that year, the fact that Helwig got fired ten days prior to Survivor Series didn't help matters either.

World Wrestling Entertainment has plans to release a DVD compilation set on the greatest wrestling tag teams of all-time this summer. The DVD is actually being named after the short-lived tag team that consisted of Lex Luger and "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith for eight months in 1995 - The Allied Powers. Allied Powers: The World's Greatest Tag Teams will be officially released on Tuesday, July 14, 2009. Click http://www.amazon.com/Allied-Powers-Worlds-Greatest-Teams/dp/B002436WIU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1239143559&sr=1-3 to see the product page on Amazon.com, although information on the DVD has yet to be released.

Guess they're not learning from TNA and their flops when it comes to DVDs about Tag Teams!:)

chopperbyrne

WWE has several promotions worth of great tag teams to choose from though.

I think it was Heat before last years Wrestlemania that just showed classic tag matches and it was brilliant.

CMpunked

Make more sense to bring this out around the same time as the SvR 2009 when al the emphasis was on tag teams then. Not now, when they had to make one tag titles because theres only 2 tag teams in the whole of the company.

This is true, but it's also the same promotion that hates to showcase talent that they didn't create either. And i was really let down by the documentary of the Starrcade DVD (it wasn't long enough). So if they do a doc for this, the chances are they'll sacrifice the quality of it for some crappy match.

Sorry but the guts of the last year have been fairly bad for WWE DVD's in my honest opinion, save for the Flair one. But it depends on your stance on it too. If you like match comps, fine, but some of us like a little more insight.

(Even if it is sometimes "McMahon based revisionism (tm)MNG")

To be fair, at least this one has Gail in grey in the background, some detail, so it's not so bland.

Haven’t gotten my hands on it yet, but Edge's looks decent, match line up wise anyway, worth getting?

Yes, definitely. WWE's production team have learned to use the blur filter to a minimum since so even the attitude era stuff is watchable.

I started the SNME DVD and TNA's Jarrett DVD on the flight back from Houston and I have to say from what I've seen both are excellent. The classic footage on the Jarrett DVD really helps it.

Yeah I seem to remember Harlem Heat being left out of a list of ten greatest tag teams on WWE.com a little while back.

Hopefully they see sense and highlight all the great teams from AWA, WWF/E and WCW over the years.

A good commentary or documentary would make it an essential purchase.

I miss a good tag scene

I think i wrote a piece about tag teams back in 2005 or 2006 and posted it up on a yank forum. I wrote a few bits and bob back then. I must dig em up and repost here at some point.

There really isn't out there commercially available that interests me much at the minute. The SNME one should, but i have all of those anyway.

Here's my review I posted today of the SNME dvd. Fantastic stuff, I totally recommend it, even if you do have all of the shows, its a good package.

Since all the nostalgia talk has come up recently i assume superstars of the 90's will be a popular dvd. Due for release on tuesday in america

ShawnRaven

Is it really gonna be that popular? In fairness, most of the people from that era have been covered by individual DVDs in the last two years.

Good question. I guess it depends on if you have all the other dvds or not.

Either that or they were smart and didn't duplicate matches over different DVDs. I think that damn Michaels/Bret ironman is on several DVDs as is the Razor/Michaels ladder match.

I was so glad they put the Summerslam 95 rematch on the Ladder Match dvd instead, the Wrestlemania 10 one is the more obvious one to include but the rematch is better imo

Seconded, although Shawn does blow the ending about 3 times, and then throws a hissyfit afterwards. Took a little away from the match, but nothing enough to completely ruin the match.

krudler

I could be wrong as I havent watched it in ages but isnt that the match where they plug the Shawn gloves, glasses and poster? shilling things at ringside, gotta love Vinces marketing strategy

You're not wrong. They were starting to lift Shawn from midcard joke to main event player using this match as a launch pad. Ring wise, he was ready, but he couldn't talk for sh*t without sounding like a whiny bitch, so they gave him another IC title crack at In Your House 2 against Jarrett. Then started building him. A few months later, we had the icon, the main event, the SHOOOOWW-STOPPA...

... you get my drift.

krudler

Ah ok, I was watching Brets dvd after reading the book and that clip was used, ironic that later in his career Bret couldnt talk without sounding like a whiny bitch either

Wrestling with Shadows was great, watching Triple H squirm while Brets missus gives him a bollocking is one of the highlights

haha yeah with all his swearing he had nothing to do with it, inside he must have been exploding trying to not shout it out that he was in on it, I'm still in two minds as to who I agree with on that whole thing, both sides were as bad as each other really
