Macho Man, pls respond.

I'm going to put his album on blast and repeat to celebrate the life and times of the GOAT.

People forget that Macho Man died so that he could prevent Armageddon.

The Rapture was also supposed to have 5 years ago.


Guess how that was stopped?

MMarston knows what's up.

Classic.

 

[echoshifting]

I will contend, to this day, that "Piledriver" is the best episode of anything ever.

"I met your father once in a steel cage match. I wish you coulda seen your old man weeping like a woman after my patented Piledriver!
Yeah, Your dad remembers me! OHHH YEEEEEAH!"

Finally! Some ENTERTAINMENT! TONIGHT!

God I loved that show, definitely one of the best episodes

 

[entremet]

Whatever happened to Mean Gene?

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

I bet he turned heel when he got to heaven and dropped an elbow on Jesus.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Let's all strive to be macho, like Randy.

 

[spindashing]

Whatever happened to Mean Gene?

He was a member of Legends House.

He's also in one or two episodes of the Edge & Christian Show That Totally Reeks Of Awesomeness.

His appearance as Bone Saw in the first Spider-Man movie

Jobbing for Spiderman! SMH

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

Unless I missed it, you guys didn't link his best promo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrlSz-Xxo50

Macho Man should be a face here, and Hogan a heel. He straight up ethered him.

Wish him and Warrior were still around when all this Hogan stuff blew up.

 

[commish]

Him and Warrior, man. Could watch their promos forever. RIP, Macho.

 

[DMczaf]

Jobbing for Spiderman! SMH

Macho put him over and made him a star.

Professional and also protected the business in that movie

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Love this one.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

They call you Hollywood (hugh hugh) don't make me laugh
Cuz your movies and your actin' skills are both trash
Your movies straight to video the box office can't stand
While I got myself a feature role in Spider Man

Quite possibly the greatest lyrics ever uttered in human history.

 

[The Last Wizard]

5 years since the macho man saved us from the apocalypse, I'll never forget him:,(

 

[Skunkers]

Despite never being the hugest wrestling fan, I had the privilege of knowing Randy Savage; I worked at a small movie theatre in St. Petersburg, FL (it was AMC Tyrone 6, since shut down) that he and his wife liked to frequent. For such a larger than life guy, he was incredibly genuine, kind, humble, and soft spoken. I used to greet him every time he came in, check if he needed anything, and occasionally chatted with him and his wife in the theatre before his movie started. Dude was a treasure.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Jealous Eyes is one of the greatest promos ever

[The Beard]

I've always hated wrestling, but I fucking loved Randy Savage. What an entertainer. I still pull up his interviews/promos on YouTube every once in a while. He was the best.

Anyone else prefer Machos run in WCW over WWF?

 

[Sanjuro]

Anyone else prefer Machos run in WCW over WWF?

No.

 

[foxuzamaki]

You know I always find it fachinating how he looked so young for most if his later years, in spiderman I couldn't tell you how old he was, just that he didn't look old at all, but then like when he was in that Wrestlemania legends commercial and a photo he took soon before his death, he went full on old man

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

I hated everything he stood for when he dropped that bell on Rickey's throat.

Now i just realized how good he was.

 

[BFIB]

No.

His feud With DDP was incredible.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

Anyone else prefer Machos run in WCW over WWF?

 

[RBH]

His feud With DDP was incredible.

His feud with DDP was fantastic and was a nice "final hurrah" for the twilight of his career.

Loved all of their matches from Spring Stampede to Great American Bash to Halloween Havoc.

His WCW run started off strong and had some great moments. But in '98-'99, you could tell that Macho was out of gas unfortunately.

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Anyone else prefer Machos run in WCW over WWF?

Nah. He never ever should have joined the NWO. They formed by beating the shit out of him. Him, Sting and Luger should have stayed WCW and eventually defeated the NWO for good. They really shit the bed with that. Had lightning in a bottle and left it out until it spoiled.

I can't believe I was ever on Hulk Hogan's side. Shameful.

 

[CountAntonius]

Best Voice ever.

 

[Sanjuro]

WCW regularly had no idea what they were doing. Macho Man might have been Alex Wright for all they cared.

Sad to watch.

 

[GoutPatrol]

One of the best ever, but not exactly the best person in the world. Par for the course for wrestlers.

 

[farmerboy]

Genuinely sad. Five years already.......bloody hell.

A treasured part of my childhood.

 

[The Horror the horror]

WCW regularly had no idea what they were doing. Macho Man might have been Alex Wright for all they cared.

Sad to watch.

WCW allowed the inmates to run the show, and the wrestlers' guaranteed contracts pretty much gave them a pass to do whatever they wanted.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Cream of the Crop promo is correctly identified as GOAT.

WCW regularly had no idea what they were doing. Macho Man might have been Alex Wright for all they cared.

Sad to watch.

Wasn't it Savage that talked about so many guys like him being flown out (and hotel) for televised appearances even though he was too injured to wrestle, wasn't in on any feuding, and wasn't even going to do promos/interviews?

 

[Sanjuro]

It was a mess. He probably shouldn't have over done it after WWF, but the money was legit.

I liked Jericho talking about him. They kind of separated the top talent from the mid card. Macho still was a professional in his business with that WCW shit show.

You can't say that on television !

 

[markofhavoc]

i liked him as a mob of zombies in L4D

Oh damn, too good

 

[RBH]

This guy is posting some great Macho Man clips right now:

[ezekial45]

Does anyone remember the promo where Gene asked if Savage would have anyone in his corner and then he responded with "Probably none!".

I'm trying to find a video of it.

Arsenio had the best guests.

 

[Bravocado]

When someone says pro wrestler, he's still the first thing I picture.

 

[Marvie_3]

Can't believe its been 5 years already. Best wrestler ever.

 

[Flakster99]

I get sad when I think about it. He was an amazing, charismatic soul.

 

[Octavianus]

Hulkamania is like a single grain of sand in the Sahara desert that is Macho Madness

 

[UncleMeat]

I'm not a huge wrestling fan but Macho Man is definitely my favorite. Nice thread, op.
