My favorite was in Baltimore in his dressing room with Ms Elizabeth. He played with my son while I sat and talked to his wife. He was very protective of her but he always let his guard down when we were with him. My family and I miss him very much. Truly one Macho Man. He was the best

    And that's why in all of wrestling there's Macho Man Randy Savage, and then there's every body else. There will NEVER be another. Randy was the greatest all around wrestler ever. Great wrestler, gave great promos, sold great-all of it. Greatest Ever.

    Watching these interviews and promos of these wrestlers from the mid 70s to the 80s and 90s a lot of laughter a lot of sadness a lot of them gone went to another crazy world or they're probably getting stuff together so when we arrive we're going to have entertainment once again. Rest in peace to all the wrestlers they have gone! Thank you for putting a smile on my face!

    There's a great segment on an episode of Wrestling Challenge where Gene visits Randy and Elizabeth at "their home". A hilarious 5 minute gem that most have probably forgot or never seen. It's here on youtube and I highly recommend it.

    Stumbled across this interview in my feed today. Something ran across my brain that completely baffled me.
    Jake "the Snake" Roberts has outlived "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Miss Elizabeth, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, and "Mean" Gene Okerlund. Never would've guessed that 20 years ago. Nevertheless...I miss em all. Wrestling today just ain't the same

    Watching old school interviews and promos are appreciated in a different way when you have a few more years on you. I used to be an Ultimate Warrior and Bret Hart fan when I was a kid but as I’ve gotten older I’ve appreciated Macho Man so much more and definitely Mean Gene. I was never a Roddy Piper fan as a kid but after I finally watched They Live, I just changed my mind
