Macho DVD

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

OK, y'all can stop e-mailing me now. Personally I already have much of this in my collection, but it's nice to have it all in one set and not everyone is an obsessive collector like I am. I wish they would have skewed more to the obscure classics like the MSG series against Tito or an alternate Steamboat match (instead of the Wrestlemania match AGAIN). Good call on the Dibiase cage match, though, that's definitely one that's been waiting for DVD release for a while now.

Macho DVD coming!

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

Finally, according to the latest Figure Four Weekly, WWE is announcing a Randy Savage DVD for the summer. The key is that there's not going to be a documentary (so that no one can say nice things about him) and it's just going to be matches and angles. Because that way Vince can make money off his name without having to acknowledge him, apparently. However, since all I care about is the matches and angles, WOO HOO!

Let the matchlist speculation begin.

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for MSG – October 28 1989

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for MSG - October 28 1989

- Live from New York. Weird that they showed the November show a couple of months ago and now they're skipping back to this one. I'm guessing the Macho King in the main event is why.

- Your hosts are Gorilla & Hillbilly. Gah.

Oh, now it’s on…

The legendary Michael Jenkinson of the-newsroom.com writes...

Scotty...
While I don't have any argument with Savage-Steamboat being a great match, I wouldn't call it perfect for one big reason - the psychology of the match is all screwed up. To wit: Steamboat continually goes for pins and can't pin Savage. Randy, however, gets a big visual pin after a ref bump, which is normally the babyface spot in a big match. And then Steamboat gets a fluke rollup pin after outside interference, which is more of a heel spot.
I've never understood why the psychology was done like that. But nonetheless, it is still a fantastic match to watch.

HERESY! BURN THE WITCH!

Ahem.

Anyway, here's how I see it: The visual pinfall is situational irony. Savage, after months of cheating and taking the shortcuts, finally acts like a man and fights the match of his life against Steamboat, holding off every pinfall attempt that Steamboat gets, but when he finally gets the winning pinfall there's no one to count it. The Steele interference is just good old fashioned revenge, as he treated Steele like dirt for daring to show affection to "his" woman, and Steele gets to out-think him (by pre-empting his use of the ringbell, in yet more irony) and screws him out of the thing he TRULY loves the most -- the title.

The rollup, I grant you, but then Steamboat was lacking in a truly badass finish anyway. On the other hand, it set up the finish of the greatest match in history two years later when Flair used Steamboat's own reversal against him to win the World title, so it has that extra bit of awesomeness associated with it.

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Saturday Night's Main Event - January 27 1990

- This is a redo of a rant from 98-ish and a pretty fun show anyway. This one ties into the January theme of "ring royalty" via Macho King, I'm thinking.

- Taped from Chattanooga, TN.

- Your hosts are Vince & Jesse.
