Dawn Marie's Hotel Room Regret & Matt Cardona Chooses Death: 10 Things You May Have Missed In Wrestling This Week
Softer than a cage fall onto a giant crash pad...
6. Fit For A Pimp
This week saw the airing of the Randy Savage A&E biography special.
Different in tone to the previous pieces on Steve Austin and Roddy Piper, it was not universally well-received by fans who tuned in. Much attention was given to the Macho Man's fraught personal life, including his tempestuous relationship with former girlfriend and WCW valet Stephanie 'Gorgeous George' Bellars.
Podcast host Conrad Thompson made his feelings clear when he tweeted:
'They should have named this "The Burial of Randy Savage". What a hit job. The last two weeks were puff pieces. Now this? Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it?'
In order to hype the special, A&E released a 'sneak peak' to their YouTube channel in the days before the broadcast, which was much lighter in tone.
In the clip, Savage's costume designer Michael Braun talked about their relationship and the evolution of Randy's often ostentatious outfits.
Hilariously, Bruan cited some of Florida's pimps (who he also decked out in new threads) as the inspiration behind Savage's garb. As talking head R-Truth pointed out, it's something that makes complete sense, when you think about.
Savage's frenemy Hulk Hogan also relayed a funny story about how Randy sent a Ferrari back to the showroom because it didn't have anywhere he could fit his hat box.
We've all been there before, haven't we?
