- Oooh yeah!
World Wrestling Federation superstar "Macho Man" Randy Savage trades the ring for the Going Live! studio, to take viewers' questions and promote his Slam Jam single. Sarah Greene is on hand to ensure he is on his best behaviour, and to keep him and Gordon T. Gopher apart.
Originally broadcast 5 December, 1992.

Well done Macho Man for being a good sport and not taking yourself seriously at all. Respect.
Same to Gordon
I don't think he can hear you, he's in the soil
That was wild 😜 !
Macho was renowned for being good to the fans especially children.
@@jamief1263 didnt he once bodyslam a fan on his car thou?😭🤣
What a pro. Those kids will never forget that day
You can tell he genuinely enjoyed doing this. A true professional
Was there any other WWF/WWE wrestler who could've done this?
@@educateme8455 Definitely not like this. Macho Man, the Cream of the Crop!
A masterclass of walking the line between kayfabe and real life at a time when it shouldn't have been done.
Spot on, When he slipped about not wanting to hurt his opponent and then back tracking "but, not really"
I remember quite a few wrestlers appeared on Going Live and later Live & Kicking - like The British Bulldog, The Rock and Big Show - but I missed this one with Randy Savage.
I really enjoyed watching this. Ever the pro, Randy was great with the kids, handled the tough questions with a mature, professional attitude and also seemed to genuinely enjoy being on the Going Live set with Sarah and Gordon.
One of the most colourful legends ever and all-time greats in the ring. The Macho Man is still beloved & missed to this day.
Perfect vehicle for them, live unscripted TV, just let them create havoc and have the cameras on them.
Man he was so nice and personable.
Gordon the Gopher, what a sweetie. And a bit of a macho man himself when riled by the look of it.
4:41 Randy Savage lifts my spirits. Rest in peace Macho!
Holy cow, some of these kids were asking real tough questions! 😂
"Wrestlers are just actors"....Well yes. I never understood the "it's so fake" thing though, I never walked out of a movie and heard people saying "That was so phoney, you could tell James Bond didn't jump out a helicopter and fall down a cliff!". Much like the stuntmen who do stunts for movies the live stunts they do are quite real and take a lot of training and planning to achieve.
Macho Man was always incredible, oozes charisma in every word he says.
Adorable interview!
He thought he was gonna just get some tame kiddy questions and the first kid hits him with "isn't wrestling just acting though" 😂😂
Not really the first kid….
@@112chapters3 the first kid in the video not the first kid in the world
@@qxqp maybe the 7th kid in thw video
Last kid actually.
thx 4 da upload. his elbow drop was insane. such a shame how it all ended: miss elizabeth, bobby the brain heenan, mr. perfect, hercules, snuka, gene okerlund, orndorff, bundy, ravishing rick rude, the ultimate warrior, piper, andre the giant ... what an era that was.
What a culture clash. This was great
This was around the time of SummerSlam 1992
No, a few months after.
What a gentleman Randy Savage was
What a legend!
Great children’s entertainer.
Macho Man must have studied under Rowlf the Dog for that voice….
And Dr. Teeth…
This is wonderful
RIP Randy Savage
He’s not dead, he kickin it with Elvis and MJ
Say everything twice....say everything twice....
"GNA NEAVYA NOO!"
~my hero
Bonesaw! Bonesaw!
Gordon took my wallet ...
epic
They should all have their hearts checked regularly.
He looks like bootsy Collins.
These guys were real life super heroes to a lot of kids growing up in the 80s, early 90s. Randy Savage was definitely larger than life. Rip Macho man
This is wonderful.
Can tell he toned the intensity down for the kids here , he looks genuinly happy being the kids hero in the studio . Legend
The way he delt with "is wrestling fake" question so well. He bassicly answered it earlier where he admitted he was afraid of hurting the other guy. It's a performance, yes, but how well you do and perform DOES determine if you will be champ.
Yep very well put. Wrestling is unique. There really is nothing quite like it. When wrestling is good it's really good. Emotion and story that's what it's all about.
Kid who asked it was 12 bruh
This is Randy Savage on one of his calmer days.
only one big baggy before this one! loved the macho and this is why a proper entertainer who got his audience
YESSSSS! O-S-Dub
Randy looked bored
What bar?
Waka wa hey hey!
Great to see the BBC recognise The legendary Macho Man Randy Savage
Very surprising considering the utter garbage they churn out now
I miss waking up on Saturday morning and watching something that's meant to make me laugh, rather than something that's meant to make me cook.
watch eighties cartoons then
Exactly Saturday morning was worth waking up for.
If you watch Randy's documentary on the WWE network, the dude loved doing stuff for kids. He did hundreds of hours of charity work for ill and disadvantage kids. Whenever he'd walk through an airport he would never say no to an autograph and taking a picture with a kid. He did hundreds of make a wish charity's. Randy was a good dude.
This just shows why he's one of the greatest of all time. What a character on top of his sublime in ring work.
REST IN PEACE MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE (1952 - 2011)
You can never contain the energy in this man....
cocaines a helluva drug
Sadly you can because Randy's gone
The greatest of all time. Thank you Randy Poffo ❤️
I remember seeing this when aired. RIP Randy Savage
Me as well.
What a good sport.
You get the impression he really enjoyed this.
Legend.
I don't remember this, but what a kick seeing this! Macho Man was an absolute G! His comedic timing was genius, great with the kids and larger than life!
Sarah Greene.....wow! Where is she now??
Can't believe this was 30 years ago??!!
I guess this was before Summer slam at Wembley.
Wrestling and touring car fan here, so...
This was recorded after Wembley Summerslam, which was August of that year. He lost to Ultimate Warrior by countout but kept his heavyweight title, which he didn't have when this was filmed (he dropped it to Ric Flair at some point). I'm surprised he didn't mention it like!
Sarah Greene is seeing ex-BTCC driver Rob Gravett, who used to be teammates with Mike Smith back in the day when they raced RS500's
This was in December 92 to promote the Slam Jam single
Macho Man was great with children. It`s a shame he never had one or two of his own.
1992 was when wrestling went absolutely over the top in the UK, wrestlers from both WWF and WCW popping up an all kinds of TV shows.
I remember nearly every Saturday morning show on BBC and ITV would have a wrestler whilst on tour in UK
I was at Wembley stadium for summerslam 92. Macho vs warrior, my two childhood heroes. But the best match that night was the British bulldog vs Bret hart.
I quess also you had the big Summerslam event at wembley
@@hermanthetosser4219 yes it was at Wembley in 1992
This was when wrestling was on the decline in the United States.
I had a macho man pencil case I was so happy with and I took it into school (year 1s) some kid must have been jealous because he hid it from me 😂 was probably gonna nab it at the end of the day. When I found it I never let it out of my sight again. Thanks Macho man you were my idol and legend in 89
Same here mate I had one and not heard that word in years nab it
Love this! More Going Live clips please! Also, I'm really impressed at the quality of this footage 😎
This is yet another reason why I always have been and always will be a Macho Man Fan! He always knew how to stay in character and was great with kids. RIP, Legend.
This guy was a natural entertainer and an in-ring specialist. RIP Randall Poffo aka Randy “Macho Man” Savage 😔🙏🏾💐🕊
Was the Genius Lenny Poffo his brother??
@@shenglongisback4688 Yeah he was. Lenny was his younger brother 😔🙏🏾
@@edstar7167 did he passed aswell??
@@shenglongisback4688 Nah! He's still alive and kicking! lol
Lol ty
I first saw Randy wrestle in the mid 70s. A bully in my school jumped in the ring with him after a match. Needless to say the bully never picked on us ever again. Thank God for the Macho Man my favourite.
Wow this is actually pretty subdued for Randy 😆
Sarah and Gordon had him under wraps.
Randy hadn't taken his stuff
Sarah green is fabulous with Randy! Thanks for the upload 💖
*Randy Savage is a nation treasure… god bless him & god rest his soul.*
Big part of my childhood this man R.I.P Macho Man Randy Savage
I honestly wish the BBC would rerun Going Live & Live & Kicking now on Saturday mornings and I’d watch it every week! Loved this as a kid, us 80s/90s kids had it so good for TV.
and now we have cooking shows .....to become macho for a min " i eat food ....don,t watch it ....yeahhhh "
They aren’t inclusive or diverse enough so they won’t re run them
ADC tv collection uploaded two episodes last week. One from 87 and the other from 91.
But yeah, I wish they would be given a rerun. If the beeb did a nostalgia channel I might even pay my tv licence.
I'm also disappointed that there isn't more ghost train and top banana vids on TH-cam. I loved those shows too.
Thankfully there is plenty of fun house episode's though. 👍
They should just restart the 90’s full stop .. it was all so much better back then
@@FowlerLegendGladiators is back, so it's a start.
Randy will always be a true legend. Loved watching him and the other wwf/wwe stars through the late 80s and 90s
God bless the Macho Man. CompleteClass act.
He looks and acts like he’s on his 6th day of a LSD+cocaine bender, but still gave his time to go on a early morning kids show 🤣
Respect to him, haha
The fact that Hogan was a bigger draw than Savage is depressing, Savage was a much better wrestler & far more entertaining on the mic in my opinion. Hulk Hogan was a fake patriot & idiot fanboys ate that up. Even as a kid I found him boring
I always thought Hogan looked like an old man even at his peak.
I was ( and still am) a massive admirer of Sarah, please more clips like this. What a babe. Pity she didnt get more recognition. and when she puts those ribbons in her hair, I'm gone.
Great post Fred
She's beautiful she always has been and still is
hey fred, in that case you might wanna check this out! th-cam.com/video/NoFs_eIeBYA/w-d-xo.html
Her mother was also an absolutely gorgeous woman
Find me a wrestler today that has as much charisma as Randy Savage. You can't.
These were the real superhero’s as a kid. WWF late 80s / early 90s was always my favourite era.
Hard to believe this is nearly 30 years ago. Wow.
Sarah was one on my childhood crushes.
You’re certainly not alone!
Why?
@@donjohn2695 why she was a crush ?
Randy Savage one of the greatest wrestlers and characters of all time and sadly missed. He is in my mount rushmore.All the intensity of his character but fantastic with kids.
"How do I become a WWE wrestler?" "Be 7 feet tall and take lots of roids"
Can anyone imagine Sycho Sid having been up there on that stage instead of Randy Savage?
I can just see it all now:
Little Kid: "Mr. Sid, what would you say to those people who call wrestlers actors?"
Sycho Sid: "WHAT did you just say, BOY?????? < proceeds to grab the nearest chair in sight > I will TAKE someone's HEAD OFF they disrespectin' me like that..."
a stare out between him and Gordon the Gopher would have been awesome
I'm so glad I grew up in the late 80s / early 90s.
Macho man was always there for the kids always ready to do the gimmick a true legend and missed
Sarah is one of the best presenters and should be on TV a lot more.
When he said he worries about hurting the other guy (then quickly says "not really") was a rare break in kayfabe.
@Marc Carran And you, not thinking he is breaking kayfabe, is your interpretation. Either way, its all good :)
Macho corpsing?
Send for the man.
Macho Man coked out of his dome on a kids show 😂
Hi, I was wondering if you could help, I would really appreciate, do you have a copy of another episode of Going Live 14th March 1992 , I appeared on Going Live through a phone in competition and played Feed the Dog computer game , I won a ghettoblaster. (Wet Wet Wet and Elefriends was also on the episode) I have been trying to find the episode for the last 30+ years BBC no longer have the episode. Thanks for your time. Craig
When legends meet.
I watched WWF as a kid and never realized just what a great guy Randy was. I never realized he looked to give back in return, to inspire. I love how the hostess was in on the humor. The respect he gave those kids as equals. There is another feeat vid of him visiting a children's hospital. If you haven't seen it, you should look for it. There is a comment in the hospital vid of a guy who was one of the kids in the hospital expressing his gratitude and appreciation for Randy for that simple act of visiting when he was little.
.
One of my heroes from growing up in the 80s and 90s. What a character he was. RIP sir always remembered.
Why didn't he put Matthew in a sleeper hold or slap him? That's what happens when you ask if wrestling is fake. 😂
Somehow Randy was more stable than Dr. D and Vader.
So this is what Bonesaw was doing before he took on Spider-Man in a cage match 😅
8:15 this is where Eminem stole the line for his Slim Shady song.
Sarah is wonderful as always. Subtly taking the piss, wrly funny and in control.
Brilliant at what she does - just like her late husband, Mike Smith.
Consummate professional and one of the most beautiful women on TV ever.
Sarah was a minx
When the BBC wasn't obsessed with race and gender idioligy.
Just a small amount of cocaine snorted for this by Macho Man back in 92 💭
He was definitely having fun here was brilliant to watch
One of the best to ever do it. Savage was a super complex character but he was always renowned for his kindness with kids, amazing wrestler and a great guy.
7:43 good stuff. sarahs face is brilliant..
macho definitely fancied her.... (as we all did)
He was so cool... Wrestling is so dead now. Bunch of 20 yr olds doing backflips and no personality.
Incredible performer 🙌
This is probably the most tame macho man has ever been
He was a class act. This was really cool to see. I always liked Macho Man.
There's a rumour going round at school about Stephanie McMahon.......
It was his understated elegance I admired. Great with the kids tho!
Matthew working for the dirtsheets there
Awesome! As if Macho Man went on going live, so many great moments on that show, Sarah Greene was awesome too. I was about 8 years old at the time 😲😲😂😂
"Will you take your glasses off a minute?"
"I sure will, I just don't want you to melt!"
Randy was such a pro love this clip 😊🤘
The GOAT 🐐
And I don't mean the gopher
He for real lived his character 24/7. On the A&E docu, hia 2nd or 3rd wife said that after they got married and got away from the business (and Tampa, FL) he starting talking and acting "normal".
Sarah is my childhood in one
I remember watching and taping this very episode as a kid! Funny how many times I must have watched it back then as I still remembered every bit watching it now, including most the questions he answered! Nice upload!
As part of the build up to Summer Slam 92 held at Wembley Stadium Macho Man Randy Savage appeared on Going Live O YEH!
