The WWE Biography series on A&E has mostly received positive reviews from the WWE Universe, except the one on "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
This week, the brother of Randy Savage, Lanny Poffo, known to many in the WWE Universe as The Genius, wrote a piece to convey his thoughts on the documentary released by A&E a few weeks ago over at Pro Wrestling Stories.
While you should certainly check out his thoughts in full, one of the main takeaways from the piece is that he felt that only five percent of the episode was horrible. Blaming that on Gorgeous George and Bubba the Love Sponge.
"I want to say that 75% of the A&E Biography episode on Randy was great, 20% of it was lousy, and 5% was just horrible," Poffo said. "The people responsible for the 5% are Stephanie Bellars (Gorgeous George, Frankenstein, whatever) and Bubba the Love Sponge."
Lanny Poffo believes A&E "vilified" his brother, Randy Savage
Lanny Poffo believed the inclusion of both Gorgeous George and Bubba the Love Sponge in the Randy Savage Biography painted his brother in a horrible light. At the same time, other wrestlers like "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Roddy Piper were glorified.
Roddy Piper and Stone Cold Steve Austin were glorified in these A&E episodes while Randy got vilified," Poffo said. "Randy was made to look as bad as Chris Benoit, but I don’t remember my brother murdering anybody."
Poffo also went in-depth with comments on Miss Elizabeth, Lex Luger, Jerry "The King" Lawler, his infamous rap album, and so much more. If you're a fan of Randy Savage, it is absolutely worth your time to go check it out.
A&E has still yet to comment on the negative backlash that came from the Randy Savage Biography, and at this point, it's unlikely that they will.
