Macho Madness

“The Macho Man” Randy Savage was one of the biggest superstars and legends of pro wrestling. His distinctively deep and raspy voice, colorful ring attire, and signature catchphrase, "Oooh yeah!" made him a fan favorite among many wrestling aficionados worldwide. He never failed to entertain his audience with his abilities and athleticism. During his epic 32-year career, Macho Man Randy Savage held six world championships between the WWF and WCW, having won the WWF Championship twice and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship four times. He also won the WWE Intercontinental Championship. To my assessment, he was the greatest WWE Intercontinental champion of all time. His impressive in-ring performances helped bring a high level of credibility to the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

"Macho Man" & Miss Elizabeth

For most of his tenures in the WWF and WCW, his real life wife the late "Miss Elizabeth" Hulette managed him. They were perhaps the first power couple of the WWF. Miss Elizabeth’s beauty and elegance mixed with Macho Man’s aggression and unpredictable attitude was a perfect soap opera in the business. Macho Man seemed to abuse Miss Elizabeth in the storyline, which was believable to the viewers. Randy Savage mistreatment of Miss Elizabeth angered fans. When his popularity grew and fans began to cheer despite being heel, “Macho Man” Randy Savage became less hostile towards the fans and Miss Elizabeth. The magic of Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth captured the hearts of wrestling fans and in a way that made it cool for both sexes to like professional wrestling. They were a perfect pair on TV. Their union will go down in history as one of the best ever in the business.

Five of My Favorite "Macho Man" Moments

Randy Savage winning the WWF Championship at WrestleMania IV was my favorite moment of his epic career. He participated in the 14-man tournament and defeated Butch Reed, Greg Valentine, One Man Gang, and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase for the vacant WWF Championship. It was arguably the crowning achievement of his career.



"A Match Made in Heaven" was the on-screen wedding of Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth at SummerSlam (1991). It was the highlight of the event and fans waited so long to witness “Macho Man” Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth finally walk down the aisle and tied the knot even though the pair had been married in real life since December of 1984.



"Macho Man" Randy Savage Reunites with Miss Elizabeth at WrestleMania VII was memorable. After “Macho Man” Randy Savage lost the Retirement match to Ultimate Warrior, his manager Sherri Martel attacked him. In the crowd, was Miss Elizabeth, who hopped the guardrail after seeing enough to save Savage. They embraced and had the audience in tears. After the emotional reunion, Randy Savage was once again a hero in the eyes of the fans.



"Macho Man" Randy Savage Defeats Ric Flair for the WWF Championship at WrestleMania VIII was another milestone in Macho Man’s career. The in-ring psychology of this title match was brilliant. Ric Flair and Macho Man had great chemistry, and their match was my favorite of the event. Macho Man Randy Savage pinned Ric Flair to become a 2-time WWF Champion.



"Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat for the WWF Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania III was epic! It was a Five-Star Match from start to finish that Pro Wrestling Illustrated and Wrestling Observer Newsletter named it 1987's Match of the Year. Even though “Macho Man” Randy Savage lost the title to Ricky Steamboat, it made him a major player in sports-entertainment. He proved he had the potential to be the face of the WWF.



Thank you, "Macho Man" for the memories! You were the cream of the crop. Dig it!!!
