It will be interesting to see if they still do a little memorial retrospective for him.

in Bret Hart's book he explained that it was because Macho Man took the Slim Jim advertisements with him to WCW from WWF. (remember back then WWF was bleeding money and were not publically traded company) he outsmarted Vince.. he never got over it. More to it but Bret outlines it all. The move put WWF in a big hole since Vince spent millions to win the steriod scandal. (note* this was BEFORE Monday Nitro was ever created)
RIP macho man
a one of kind.

Fight my brute
also another thing that may have happened per Hot Rod Piper is that Savage slapped Vince in a bar.....

We're not just destroyers, at the same time we can be saviors. - Allen Walker
...well, if anyone was man enough to do it to Vince, it'd be Macho.
I can only echo the sentiments said here already; I grew up and was a teenager in the 80's the heyday of Hogan and Savage...Wrestlemania Four and Five was where I got to know the wrestling biz and as much as I was a Hogan fan, Savage's athleticism and physicality was a standout in the crowd of musclebound guys who only knew about five moves. He even made Ultimate Warrior look good.
And my favorite memory of him is from his retirement match with said wrestler; it was a compelling match, where I bought into the 'everything is on the line' storyline. But the aftermath with Miss Elizabeth reuniting with Randy and the whole thing being sold with an incredible heel to face turn without a word being said still grips me. Watch any video of that moment (they have it up on wwe.com, but also check for longer versions), and the crowd is totally and utterly into it. And the crying, the standing ovations and the emotion of the moment is something you just can't fake. People wanted to see it and they cheered their hearts out, bless them.
As I've said before, Gorilla Monsoon summed Mach up best that night. 'He's a man. A man's man. The Macho Man.'
Damn right.

RIP Macho Man you will be missed.

Wasn't there also a rumor that both Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan could have turned state's evidence against Vince and the WWF/WWE during the steroid scandal but didn't?
