Yep,totally agree. HonkytonkMan wasn't bad either. Held the title longer than anyone and drew allot of heat. But MachoMan was still the greatest IC champ still.
Absolutely unreal. He was pure gold. My favorite since ‘86. I was in 2nd grade. I am now 43 years old and nothing makes me happier than a Macho Man promo. God bless you, sir
I'm 43 as well man. Looking back on our childhood compared to what exists in the world now. I would say the 80s and 90s were a far better time, in so many ways.
Me too. Same exact age as you. Wrestling was better back then. The only corny thing was they would usually have a match with a star and some unknown dude. They would save the big matches. For me the promos were the best part. I just can’t even watch these days, it lacks colorful cartoon like characters that it had back in the day. I’d watch again if it was like this. I met Jake the Snake at a charity event a few years ago, met Lita and Kurt Angle too. Lita was a sweetheart, Kurt was a nice man and Jake the Snake was the dude.
43 year old, checking into the club here. We are...the cream of the crop. But 43 will only be a cup a coffee, as next year we all will be 44. On balance, off balance, it doesn't matter, we're better than other ages.
I swear whenever this guy was the interviewer, the 2 of them would always get in each other's faces and make it look as little personal. methinks there was some actual drama when the cameras werent rollin' lol.
@@rubenarriaga3029 Exactly. Savage scripted his promos and matches, but it was his own script. He was a creative genius. Today's wrestlers have their promos and matches written by writers.
For whatever reason, I am getting into Macho Man lately- big time. I always dismissed WWF, but I was making a mistake. Jesus Christ it is brilliance. And Macho Man- god damn what a personality.
And yeah watching him does improve your mood. Makes you realize you shouldn’t take too much seriously. Inspires me to mock the shit out of everyone to their face!!!
MM was a special effect, a human cgi before there was cgi, an AI within a brilliant character, a spiraling comet that you will only see briefly and feel privileged you did. He had no inhibitions whatsoever when he did promos. Awesome.
There is something almost Shakespearian about Randy Savage's delivery. The rhythm and the pacing. His pitch and control. It just draws you in. "TO-MARROW and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace, from day TO day, TO THE LAST SYLLABLE of recorded time,oh yeah; And ALL our yesterdays have lighted fools, let me tell yah yeah The way TO DUSTY Death. OUT, OUT, brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, yeah And then is heard no more. It is a TALE, a tale LET me tell ya Told by an idiot, like Mr Jack Tunney, full of SOUND AND FURY, Signifying nothing, and nothing means nothing Whoa to YEE who thinks the MACHO MAN is letting the intercontinental championship slip through his hands this weekend.
Vinny Mac needs to step down and enjoy his money and family while they still have the time. I don't want him to die, but he needs to let the "Reigns" go, both figuratively and literally..tired of having Roman shoved down my throat.
We just don't have these high calibur and buff wrestlers anymore.or awesome tv announcer/interviewers like( RIP Mean Gene Okerlund ) and Ken Resnik!Todd Pettingil,Dok Hedrix,and Sean Mooney in event center.❤🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
If you use Bret Harts ranking system (from his book) 10 points for looks, 10 points for promo, and 10 points for ring work, Randy is the only pro wrestler in the history of the business with a score of 30
i always thought that. macho was too giving in the ring making himself look weak oftentimes in an era of superheros like hogan and warrior who nNEVER sold
@@devangpatel5227 I feel macho man selling worked for character at times. Macho was shorter than Hogan and warrior. Randy no selling would have been harder to believe in some areas plus randy was very emotional you see it in his promos.
There will never ever be another wwe super star like macho man randy savage he was a legend Truly the best No one will ever be able to do promos or wrestle like him RIP macho man Oh YEAH
Macho Man was a comedian and championship wrestler all in one. What an astonishing athlete and performer. Thanks for the many many memories over the years. It was awesome growing up with you Randy "Macho Man" Savage. Ooooh Yeaaah!!
And he wasn't even trying to be funny! He was being Batshit Serious cutting his promo! His promos were always Off the Wall! But in a Savage way Oooh Yeah!!!💪
So Savage just does the promo with a towel half covering his face and makes it work. “I’m erasing your face.” He doesn’t even know who’s interviewing him. Doesn’t even care. And we don’t either. And he crosses in front of the camera three more times randomly. It’s practically avant garde.
I'm 73 yrs old, and MM was always, over the top crazy hilarious funny, l practically die laughing every time I watch one of his promos, both of my sons also love his cool, unscripted antics, my one son can do him perfectly, if you close your eyes you think MM is in the house, he was the greatest of all!
Can you imagine if any UFC fighter or Boxer could cut these types of promos? How popular they'd be? Macho man is immortalized amongst the Gods of wrestling. There will never be another like him.
He instinctively knew to add "mystery" to his character by hiding his face, turning his back, shielding eyes, instead of straight-up talking to camera. Like a dark super hero! He kept us wanting more....
What a great team those two made. I feel like the announcer guy couldnt wait to see what "macho man" did next and was as stoked as the people watching.
Macho Man had the best promos PERIOD! 1.Macho Man 2. The Rock 3. Stone Cold yeah that's my top 3. hate it or love it, but it doesn't matter because you have no rhythm and have no rhyme.
Flair had some okay promo's. I just liked how he would "whew" on people. Macho Man, Stone Cold, and The Rock made you believe you were right there with them.
Randy's input into this promo is epic, that awkward grin at about 0:37 cracks me up. What does he say on the final pass of the camera at about 1:48? Anyway it's comedy gold :)
Its the ultimate pick me up. You could have the worst day, and watch one promo and you will be laughing and smiling. Sheer brilliance and showmanship. Macho Madness
Just think, Macho Man was almost a catcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. I'm glad he didn't make the cut and became the coolest wrestler ever. Just a complete genius personality.

Macho Man with his shades and repeatingly sticking out his tongue.this should be a new emoji!😂😂😂Macho Man emoji
If you haven't seen them check out Ernie ladd promo's.The mr tv announcer line started with Ernie.
On it myself lol
😂😂😂Me too. I put The Pomp and Circumstance March #1 in D as I'm in the bedroom😁
Macho man was the best Intercontinental Champion of all time.
True
Butch Essex I agree!
Yep,totally agree. HonkytonkMan wasn't bad either. Held the title longer than anyone and drew allot of heat. But MachoMan was still the greatest IC champ still.
I think of Razor Ramon if we are mentioning best...
You mean, the Inter- conti - nental ! He was the best

Take a million notes, Roman Reigns.

The way he kept walking and ranting in front of Mr. TV announcer was batshit hilarious!
I know 😆
Wow just realized he did it more than once.
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Lol he was never scripted. This was just him doing the interviews naturally. That’s what makes it the best
Naturally with a few bumps of natural white
Ask George The Animal Steel (rip) how unscripted he was, or JYD. Macho Man was meticulous about having an exacting script and following it to a t.
@@ahf5471 I am very Meticulous about everything I do! Dig It!
@@ahf5471 which came from Savage himself in other words he wasn’t scripted by others
@@rubenarriaga3029 Exactly. Savage scripted his promos and matches, but it was his own script. He was a creative genius. Today's wrestlers have their promos and matches written by writers.
I love hearing Randy's voice fade in and out as he goes in and outta frame. "DANGER ZONE!!" lol.
HAHA LOVE THIS

It was like something out of the Muppets! lol

I heard that! He was a legend.
Yup. It never disappoints in bringing a smile (& a tear) to my face. I thank God I lived through this Golden Era of pro wrestling.
I swear I could listen to a Macho Man promo all day lol
Same
No one said 'Intercontinental' quite like Macho Man!!
IN-ter-CON-tin-NENT-al
Agreed. You heard every single letter in that word when he said it.
My God,this man was truly what wrestling was all about in the 80's. It never gets old watching his promo's.
Man. There aren't many who could cut a promo better than this man! Randy Savage's promos were all brilliantly off the wall!!
👍👍👍👍👍
Macho Man Randy Savage remains unmatched in promos 😂😂
Rick Flair?
Jericho maybe?
@@jessedorame9064 yes.. Maybe
No. The Macho Man was the best. Better than Flair. Better than The Sheik.
MM was a special effect, a human cgi before there was cgi, an AI within a brilliant character, a spiraling comet that you will only see briefly and feel privileged you did. He had no inhibitions whatsoever when he did promos. Awesome.
Did he ever use profanity?
at the end when he's walking back and forth in front of the camera is priceless!
There is *no* way I'd have been able to be a interviewer during this time. I'd have been laughing so fucking hard. This is too epic.
Mean Gene was notorious for cracking up during promos he tried to hide but sometimes it came through
There is something almost Shakespearian about Randy Savage's delivery. The rhythm and the pacing. His pitch and control. It just draws you in.

Reminds me of the witches in MacBeth :D
Such an insightful comment..bravo!
Complete total package , great talker , great in ring ability and total professional outside and lived the gimmick until the end , absolute legend 👍

It's funny cuz it's so true.
Macho Man changed the game with his promos
No, that was Superstar Billy Graham who did that.
both.
oh yeah!
Hands EFFEN down! Greatest promos ever....on a planet of his own! He earned Legend status on his promos alone! Ohhhh yeahhhhh! space is the place
The GOAT was from another galaxy...
He could beat you with poetry
If Mean Gene isnt in the interview he doesnt even talk to the interviewer..HA
"Mr tv announcer."
Exactly
Who is this announcer?????
What the hell is wrong with promos today? We need more promos like these.
Vince blew (no pun intended) all of the WWF's cocaine budget for the next fifty years in the years between 1985 and 1990.
Vinny Mac needs to step down and enjoy his money and family while they still have the time. I don't want him to die, but he needs to let the "Reigns" go, both figuratively and literally..tired of having Roman shoved down my throat.
Everything now seems scripted & I believe that todays wrestlers just don't possess the charisma like the guys did during this time.
We just don't have these high calibur and buff wrestlers anymore.or awesome tv announcer/interviewers like( RIP Mean Gene Okerlund ) and Ken Resnik!Todd Pettingil,Dok Hedrix,and Sean Mooney in event center.❤🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
The man jumped right out of the shower and cut a promo. Legend.
Macho Man perfected the art of rambling-like-a -brilliant-homeless-genius tirades.
@Fer De Lance what in the hell did homeless have to do with any of this? what a stupid comment.
@@steveswangler6373 Are you saying homeless people can't be brilliant geniuses?
Lol
@@steveswangler6373 Lol
@@ferdelance2299 Lol
The last part of this promo might be the greatest all of time with Macho Man going back and forth in front of Resnick.
Did he work for 96 hours straight and then think he was a hummingbird?
lol I was crying
He did. I saw the tape!
DANGER ZONE!
Back and forth in front of the video scope!!!
I've watched this so many times lol cracks me up every time Macho Man is the GOAT
FACTS!
This is my first , and it is .... the best 1 since I started watching his stuff a couple of yrs ago lol!
If you use Bret Harts ranking system (from his book) 10 points for looks, 10 points for promo, and 10 points for ring work, Randy is the only pro wrestler in the history of the business with a score of 30

Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels, and Undertaker too
Nobody better then the Macho Man ! Loved this guy !
Jean Claude Van Damme I Love The Macho Man! He is The GOAT, he pretty much invented the promo!
THE BEST! The MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE always cut THE BEST promos of ALL TIME! YEAH!
There will never ever be another wwe super star like macho man randy savage he was a legend Truly the best
No one will ever be able to do promos or wrestle like him RIP macho man

BRILLIANCE! God, we miss this man SO much!
xoxo The Clarences
Savage:I'll be there......DANGER ZONE!!!! I don’t care LMAO
Randy Savage was a gift of sweaty madness from a loving Universe.
Macho man was pure gold in his promos.. R.I.P macho
I might have been there. My dad took us to the Arco Arena around this time we saw Hercules the Bees it was a great time.
The Man, Priceless, Personified Guaranteed!!!
I'm surprised the announcer didn't start breaking up in laughter.
One thing I love about Randy Savage. Hes hilarious!!
And he wasn't even trying to be funny! He was being Batshit Serious cutting his promo! His promos were always Off the Wall! But in a Savage way Oooh Yeah!!!💪
ICONIC FOREVER!! ❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤That tongue action of the Macho Man when he came into the picture 😊😊😊

The best promo ever
Macho is the man
Gone too soon. You're missed Macho Man Randy Savage.
He's the champion in every universe.
Danger zone.
Always leaves me speechless and smiling.
Can you imagine if any UFC fighter or Boxer could cut these types of promos? How popular they'd be? Macho man is immortalized amongst the Gods of wrestling. There will never be another like him.
Did you see how Randy came on the scene at :31? LOL
I'm fuckn dead
Truly one of the greats both inside of the squared circle as well as the outside of the ring...Entertainment at the highest level RIP Macho Man...
This man was genius level at promo improv. He, Flair, Warrior, Rock and Austin are the absolute greatest promo men of all time.
Warrior doesn't belong anywhere near that group. Dude never even tried to make sense. 😂
0:40 - 0:50 - the best moment of any interview ever
"Im erasing your face" 😂😂😂😂
He instinctively knew to add "mystery" to his character by hiding his face, turning his back, shielding eyes, instead of straight-up talking to camera. Like a dark super hero! He kept us wanting more....
He was my favorite. Legend of the sport
Greatest promos of all time
What a great team those two made.
I feel like the announcer guy couldnt wait to see what "macho man" did next and was as stoked as the people watching.
Macho madness is really a hip type of thing and CANNOT be denied.
He had charisma ....madness real talent great mic skills too!
Macho man,Ultimate warrior and Rick Flair were so freaking awesome that their interviews were better than some of the fights nowadays.
The warrior naw!
I like how you can just about hear him still shouting in the background as it cuts to the title card
Absolutely amazing!
Macho Man is my ASMR.
Macho Man had the best promos PERIOD!
1.Macho Man
2. The Rock
3. Stone Cold
yeah that's my top 3. hate it or love it, but it doesn't matter because you have no rhythm and have no rhyme.
Can't really argue, and this was a time they weren't scripted to death
Ric Flair is 1, Macho is 2
round it out with Piper and Jake the Snake
Jay Lethal can promo all these guys exactly.
Flair had some okay promo's. I just liked how he would "whew" on people. Macho Man, Stone Cold, and The Rock made you believe you were right there with them.
Who else could come out with a towel over their head and still be so entertaining.
Ken Resnick acted as serious as death; lol "Mr. TV announcer." Randy Savage
Randy's input into this promo is epic, that awkward grin at about 0:37 cracks me up. What does he say on the final pass of the camera at about 1:48? Anyway it's comedy gold :)
The greatest ever!
He walks off in one direction than knows it will be impactful to walk back through the frame in the other direction. Genius.
If only most modern day wrestlers could do promos like Savage, it would be more entertaining.
Macho Madness is FOREVER a "hip-type thing" 👅🥽
I'm a restaurant manager and wish I could talk to my employees like Mancho Man
This guy was so much larger than life
God Bless Randy Poffo
And the macho Man has had his hand raised on 2 consecutive occasions
I have watched this so many times. He was a bright light that burned stronger than anything on this planet. RIP beautiful man. You were my idol.
Its the ultimate pick me up. You could have the worst day, and watch one promo and you will be laughing and smiling. Sheer brilliance and showmanship. Macho Madness
Machos promos are second to none 😂 literally the best promo man ever ❤
Arguably the funniest skit ever made, anywhere. Pure Comedy Gold. #Brilliant
I totally agree!! 🤣😂😂
Randy's dad Angelo said that the WWF+E only got the watered down version of the Macho Man..... Dammit man!
Omg. How awesome was this. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
When Randy Savage was in his (danger) zone, nobody could touch him on the mic.
Can still hear macho man @ 1:56 in the distance right before scene gets cut
Just think, Macho Man was almost a catcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. I'm glad he didn't make the cut and became the coolest wrestler ever. Just a complete genius personality.
"Hmm... no coffee cups, no little cream jars... - a towel! ..... ah screw it, that'll do!"
OMG I love Randy. RIP.
"I'm erasing your face right now." Gold
FREAK OUT! The Danger Zone WAS Macho Man and he was one of a kind, can you dig it?!
For all Macho Maniacs: I salute you!
His stream of consciousness interviews never cease to amuse.
"I'm erasing your face... your face doesn't exist right now!" Only the Macho Man can come up with something like that.
I watch a macho man interview every day before I clock in the work
Untouchable.
DANGER ZONE!!
The one and only. RIP. 🕊️
I miss him so bad. His promos were nuts and always made me feel good.
Intercontinental HEAVYWEIGHT champion of the world!!
Love it
