I was a fan of the WWF back when he first came in there.
He was amazing.
For those who understand and enjoy this entertainment aspect of old time pro wrestling, he played such an amazing heel. And, specifically, the character with the better than everyone else attitude, but who ran and hid and cheated and quickly ducked behind his female manager when things got a little too tough for him... he did it wonderfully, but more impressively he leapt and ran around with such agility and courage.
Seriously... He did things, that seemed as simple as a flick of the wrist to him, that were not exactly safe.
Just the way he'd exit the ring - he'd fling himself over the top rope and land on his feet on the cement below (they didn't have pads down there back then).
Even better... he'd place his opponent's neck over the top rope, and hold him down choking him on it... Then (as the referee would scold him and push him back away) Macho Man would race off the far ropes, run across the ring and leap over his opponent (still with his head and neck draped over the top rope), pull his opponent's head down onto the top rope for an extreme clothesline as Macho Man nimbly landed down on the cement outside of the ring.
Often times, he'd scoot back up and climb atop the ropes and leap onto his opponent again.
Most thrillingly, one of his signature maneuvers was to get his opponent outside of the ring... perch himself on the top rope and leap all the way down unto the ringside floor, nailing his opponent with a two-fisted double axe handle to their head (Air Superiority for the win).
And, of course, his trademark finisher...
With his opponent laying prone on their back in the ring, Macho Man would stand poised upon the top rope, arms raised high above his head before leaping higher than I'd seen anyone leap off of those ropes, landing down with his heavy flying elbow drop.
I can't tell you how many times I flew off of a diving board, mimicking that maneuver, haha.
I got to see him, with my Father, at a few live wrestling events in New Jersey and New York's Madison Square Garden.
I haven't watched any wrestling in years, but I always love thinking back on the wild entertainment I enjoyed from some of the more amazing talents back then.
He was my favorite back then... before he turned Good! (boo!)
I'll also never forget his comment after winning the Intercontinental Championship by punching out Tito Santana (via illegal brass knuckles that were hidden in his tights)... (And you may hear me quote it, in my best Macho Man impression, from time to time)...
"One big hand from the Macho Man sent Tito Santana to the promise land... OH YEAHHHHHH!!"
Thanks for the thrills, Randy "Macho Man" Savage.
I still have Macho Madness!

Randy Savage was a wrestler that defined an age in wrestling, he was one of the big three, up there with Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant and it's a shame that he's gone.
hopefully now Vince will see past whatever reason he decided to not let him come back to WWF and put him in the HOF.....and if he is not in the other hall of fame he deserves to be......

Well.. that is a long story there.. there are long standing apocryphal rumors of a little hookup between the Macho Man and an underaged Stephanie McMahon way back in the day... from what I've always heard, that is the reason for the animosity between Vince and Randy, and why the Macho Man has never been invited back to the WWE in any form. It will be interesting to see if they still do a little memorial retrospective for him.

Ah crap. Even tho I have never been even a mild fan of Wrestling, The Macho Man Randy Savage has always been my favorite one of all. So much so that I actually have a blapper based off of his persona that I named "Off Constant Lee". One of the few tribute characters I have.
Wherever you are Macho Man you will be remembered fondly.
RIP

Ah Macho Man, one of my childhood favorites. Hulk Hogan and him both transcended the ring, and became house hold icons. He was the embodiment of the 80s wrestling era with his larger than life attitude. Definitely one of the greats. He will be missed.

RIP, Macho Man. Go walk down that aisle to that big wrestling ring in the sky, with Miss Elizabeth looking her best beside you.
Many a day was spent in the backyard dropping elbows from "the top rope" and cutting awesome promos.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

Oh man do I remember those days... When it was Macho Man, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Ricky the Steamboat Willy, the Sheik and more. Those were fun days watching them run around the ring. I think he was the one who started using the chair on his opponents all the time, but I could be wrong. |

And yeah, he was quite the athlete. Most seem to be more familiar with him in later years, when he was bigger and a bit stiffer. He was real fit, kinda slim and fast.
I designed a costume a long while ago that was half influenced by Macho Man's old look. I may have to break that out tonight.
