About this listen

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.

The narrator did a great job, which is always a HUGe plus. Great and well researched story that helps you recapture a childhood hero!

Really enjoyed this book. I made the mistake of reading the negative reviews and let them color my perspective at the beginning, but, I'm here to say that I couldn't disagree more.

Enjoyed the different voices, my only issue is the mispronunciations of the different names. I don't really blame the preformer, I blame who ever was producing him.

Great stuff!

Like other reviews, the book seemed to rush through everything past WrestleMania 3. I would have loved to hear more about his life after wrestling.

Great Biography

What a life! A real look inside to a man who seemed like a caricature of wrestling, but was so much more.

The narration was excellent! The Macho Man will live forever!

Oh Yeah!

Excellent storytelling! Very well written and very well read!! The voices were great and it was extremely easy to not only follow along, but to get completely encapsulated by the stories of the Macho Man's life! Very well put together and very well presented! Great overall! Very much enjoyed the listen!

Ooooohh Yeeeeaahh!!!! Dig It!!

Too much of it is about Angelo Poffo. Not enough detail about anything past WWF and even the stuff about the WWF is brief. I was disappointed after anxiously waiting for this to release.

it's just ok

This biography had an extremely-strong first half, filled with names, dates, stories, context, interviews, and I thought it was really interesting. The stories that included Angelo were my favorites because I knew nothing about him beforehand.

Unfortunately, this biography also had an extremely-weak second half. As soon as it passed the WM3 Savage-Steamboat match, I felt like it rushed through the rest. I would have enjoyed learning more about Savage’s commentary duties, the transition to a LIVE cable tv show, the (possible) new training regimen for getting back into the ring for WCW, and even more about his feud with DDP.

OOOOOOH … meh
