If this is true, it's fucking awesome. It also shows that the economic downturn has hit Vince McMahon as well, if he's finally willing to use Savage to make some money.
Savage was always underated and actually a better wrestler than Hogan
my fav gimmick of his was "The Madness" with Gorgeous George,Madusa and Miss Madness 99

That was hilarious, Randy Savage is probably the only man I know who can do a better promo than The Rock in my opinion.

That's the understatement of the century.
Hogan can't wrestle. He can do scoop slams, clotheslines, throw crappy punches, do a big boot, and his leg drop. That's about it. Hogan had 100 charisma, and about 50 wrestling skill. Macho Man is about 85 & 85. Macho Man could tear down the house with the right opponent. (See his classis Wrestlemania match vs Ricky Steamboat.)

Hopefully they use some of his WCW stuff as well. I'd love to see some of his matches with DDP on this set.

The Steamboat match is pretty much a guarantee to be on the DVD.

Hogan could wrestle at one point, but he fucked up his back and knees when he lifted Andre at WM3, and his body never recovered. The steroids probably didn't help either.
He only ever lost the world title to Hogan or Flair that is pretty cool when you think of all the wortless wrestlers over the years who have been world champs.
I remember an interview he did with Mean Gene once and Macho said "Like Lightning from a cloud ohhh yeah that's all i'm gonna say" Those words changed my life so inspirational
