Macho Man Appreciation

I still credit Randy Savage for why I've been a wrestling fan for almost 30 years. He had everything. His charisma was off the charts. And his WWE championship face run is still one of my favorite times to pro wrestling history. I consider him (along with Triple H & Bret Hart) as my top 3 favorites of all time. My grandfather was also a Savage fan. So he would pay for me to get the PPV, I would record them, and then he would borrow the tape the next day. It was a great time and I'd do anything to relive those days again.

I will admit, I was not a fan of the Macho King run with Sherrie. I think I hated Sherrie so much that she made me "mad" at Randy for having her around.

I loved Randy Savage so much that I've spent almost 30 years hating Hulk Hogan. Because I never felt like Hogan gave Savage a chance to truly shine. Hogan just had to make sure Randy never once got a win over him. Hogan just had to make sure to still be the focal point during Savage's WWE title reigns.

Macho Man was and will always be one of my favorites. I loved the whole Mega Powers storyline! Hogan and Savage just clicked! To me their feuds and matches were better than Rock and Austin any day (just my opinion so don't go crazy if you don't agree). The promo where Randy is going crazy talking about Hogan sometime before WM 5, is ne of my favorite promos that he ever cut.

His match with Warrior was amazing at WM 7, and he was always fun to watch on TV. In WCW Randy was great as well! I loved him and Flair's feud in 1995-1996, I mean heck they had Liz turn on him I remember watching that as a kid and I was so mad at her. The whole Flair/Savage feud got even better after that though and was just a lot of fun to watch.

Randy was the first one to really get the evil side of Hollywood Hogan out as well during their Halloween Havoc 1996 feud. I loved that feud and the match was fun. After Randy joined the nWo, it was really neat to see him feud with DDP, as they had some fantastic matches.

Randy Savage was just always one of my favorites, and I always appreciated what he did for wrestling. Hogan and Savage are the reasons I am a wrestling fan, and why I may not watch much current WWE now, I will always have a love for wrestling because of Hogan and Savage.

He had some killer matches with Flair in late 95 and early 96. I'm a big fan of their cage match at Superbrawl VI.

He got Quick Draw Rick McGraw over in his debut match.

i'm gonna check this one out for sure!

macho is literally the reason i started watching pro wrestling. was my childhood favourite for several years - and considering i wasn't exposed to his early wwf days till years later when i found a video store with shelves of coliseum videos, that speaks a lot considering the hogwash treatment he often got in wcw.

his runs as ic and ww champ are top shelf.

His Be A Man album is criminally underrated

Savage had everything that stars today are missing. Larger than life character. Charisma off the charts. Told an amazing story in the ring (and not a spot-monkey like a lot of guys today). He was a true once in a lifetime talent who I felt never reached his full potential due to the horrible politics in this business.

got my macho man box set in from wweshop today. darn thing is heavy. includes both DVD sets, a shirt, and bandanna. i got lots of macho man to watch the next few days, outside of E3 and GoT.

Sure, no problem.  I paid $75 for my copy and I got it around three years ago.  I thought that price was much too high but being it was the only copy of that tape on eBay at the time, I went with it.  Now I see that its just gone up way too high.  But I guess its all about supply and demand with certain things.  Hardcore Macho Man fans will want it if they don't have it already, and will most likely pay out ridiculous amounts of money if needed.
