I was confused about this gear when it was first show, couldn't recall him wearing green. He wore pink,purple,red,orange,yellow, but couldn't remember green.
I popped in my Savage dv (disc 1 of course) and low and behold.............
Now my only gripe is that the green here looks darker than his allstars figure, eh? Thoughts?
He did wear very light green trunks here, but you'll see that they had no stars on the front and Macho Man does not appear to be in white? Can anyone tell?

Ive got an event on VHS from either London or Paris where Savage fought Hogan and he's wearing Neon green with blue knee pads. Its the only time Ive ever seen the color combo on him but I do know he's worn it. Its either on one of the first Hulkamania tapes or one of the Best of Volumes

Its either on one of the first Hulkamania tapes or one of the Best of Volumes I know exactly what that is because i have the full show. Savage wore the light green trunks with no stars on the front there! The same gear in the Andre/Savage video i posted.

Are you sure its the same one? I know Savage dropped the stars when he went back heel after the break up of Mega Powers. Im almost 90% sure this match he's got white stars on his trunks. Im thinking it was his heel run before he was world champ. Ill have to see if I can dig the tape out sometime.

Hogan defends the WWF title with Liz in his corner againist Macho with Sherri. Same exact gear as the Andre match. If of course we're talking of the same show.

Let me know if this is it Immortal. We might not be talking about the same match.

I'd say he wore that color combination at some point, most likely at a house show.
Personally, I love having attires that aren't specific to one big match. It's nice to have a DM Savage that represents Wrestlemania 7, but at the same time, it's kind of a drag to have one that only represents Wrestlemania 7, you know?

Hart- If I find out Ill def share it. I could have been thinking of the wrong thing but I swear I saw him vs Hogan wearing the All Stars attire somewhere. Ill search for at least a ref of the attire.

The EXACT outfit from mattel all stars can be seen at the opening of the 1987 Survivor Series during a quick highlight clip of the superstars.. you will see Savage rockin the exact trunks, pads, boots during a match w/ Koko B Ware... ! not sure if the match was from a house show, but most house show matches for later aired on Primetime Wrestling or TNT or SuperStars, or .....u get it!!

Is there a clip of this online? It's a very quick clip at 1:34, and Savage is in the duller/darker green trunks. And the opponent isn't Koko.

I know he wore it. When and vs who I couldn't say. But I do remember him wearing those colors back in the day. And there's been a few times over the last couple years that WWE 24/7 has aired matches with him in that attire.

Can't find any videos of the light green trunks with stars on... Except in the WWF Superstars arcade game.

hmm not really sure why brother.. but guys as dedicated as him always try to adapt or evolve their look if not the whole character.. also it was obvious randy had a knack for detail so maybe he felt he wasnt as ripped or jakked to just rock trunks... but prob since he was evolving into the " Macho King" at that time, it was prob just a change.. simple.

Im about 100 percent positive Macho never wore a green that bright with stars on it. The green blue combo everybody speaks of was from his darker green trunks in video 1 of my first post. The neon green had no stars, check out video 2 with Andre. Also if somebody does watch that, what color is the ''macho man'' on the back? I cant tell!
Lets make this thread an Official '' Macho Man'' gear thread eh? I'll post pictures and video to star some discussions pertaining to potential Mattel figures we'd like to see.

I know it's a long shot, but maybe they based the tights off the first WWE arcade game WWF Superstars. Maybe the oldest video game vs the newest video game sorta thing?
