Summary

Oooohhh yeahhhh!

Macho Man: The Untamed, Unbelievable Life of Randy Savage is the sensational, definitive biography of the WrestleMania headlining, Spider-Man fighting, Slim Jim snapping, minor league baseball playing American original: Randy Savage.

Savage, a WWE wrestling hall of famer, was an A-list celebrity who sat atop the entertainment universe for much of the '80s and '90s. His outfits were as flamboyant as anything worn by Liberace, Elton John, or Prince. His charisma surpassed Hulk Hogan's and is rivaled only by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Rock. His millions of fans are more loyal than followers of any sports team.

Macho Man starred in cartoons, was featured on lunchboxes, sold a slew of action figures and toys, was in multiple video games, guest starred on Baywatch, Mad About You, Walker, and Texas Ranger, and made multiple appearances on iconic '90s talk shows. He supported a myriad of kids' charities, emceed Christmas events at hospitals for George Steinbrenner, played minor league baseball with Pete Rose, was the Harvard Lampoon's "Real Man of the Year," and held his family's wrestling legacy above all else.

With catchphrases and a voice still imitated by millions to this day, and with his GIFs reaching hundreds of millions of views on social media, the Macho Man is a transcendent figure who led an extraordinary life.

A fun listen....oh yeeeeeaaa

A light and fun onlisten on the life and times of Randy Savage.

It could have done with a bit more detail in places, particularly around the break up with Miss Elizabeth as it gives no real reason for this, her subsequent death and the effect this had on Randy and his relationships with his colleagues and the company he was working for at the time....

These are minor gripes though, and it's a fun and enthralling read and highly recommended.

The strange mixture of reality and fiction stood out.

It was nice going over The Macho Man’s story, even though there was nothing new here.
