The flashing lights, the synth stabs, Irene Cara's "Fame" playing in the background...that promo by Macho Man was absolutely fucking BONKERS! And then Ox Baker shows up, screaming like a maniac! This is AMAZING!
People who watch Randy Savage's ICW and Memphis primos would be shocked to realize that the intense guy they saw on WWF/WWE television in the 80s was actually a toned down version of the Macho Man!
Mitchell Patterson man if I were only about 5-6 yrs older. i came into fandom around 87 at 5 and there was def some cool stuff going on. but i need to go back nd dig up the early 80s
I disagree. Watch Savage in the late 70s and early 80s and he's the same old Macho Man you see 10 years later in WWF. He's just 'different' or 'primitive sounding' in this video..
@@shaolin1derpalm He did it early on. A lot on 1985 and it gradually fell off. By 1987 it was full on WWF Macho Man. Still great but Savage was more raw in ICW and Memphis. Almost reminds me of Austin in 1996 & 1997 verses 1998 onward.
@@ericjackson7632 agree. Actually when he said "Elizabeth! Do the thing!" I was happy. I grew up on wwf macho. I hated him lol. Not in the good way. I refused to watch his matches. But I eventually came around. But "Confetti! Don't tell me nothin' man!" Is just so epic. His best wwf promos to me were his Hot Dogg'n and Grandstand'n, and his late era interview "It's okay, not really".
WWE will never let anyone become another Macho Man or Hulk Hogan. They script em to death. I saw a few years back that there's some serious charismatic talent being dragged to hell by the way they do things. Even Mojo Rawley when you took him off the script showed some actual character and personality. Vince McMahon is the problem with wrestling and always has been since he kill the territories. Him and Kevin Dunn hate wrestling yet it's the only damn thing that made them money.
My god, the commentator opening this vid is horrible. "uh, we have uh, macho man in the television studio, uh, it's been quite some weeks, uh, back to you macho man."
At least they explain the clip and set it up. Don't just cut to 2 guys arguing backstage while eating Doritos or whoever the sponsor happens to be that month.
+ATHOMEDAD777 Who was he feuding with? One part sounds like he was trying to get Ox Baker off of him and the other sounds like he was trying to get Ox Baker to take out Ronnie Garvin.
Randy was born in 1952. This looks like early 80’s video production…plus they used “fame” which was from 1980. So I’m guessing he was 28 or 29 here. No mention of “macho man” yet either. He hadn’t started dying his hair/beard black. No “oh yeah”…and no gravel voice yet. Just 3-4 years after this he would be packing arenas and stadiums. Miss you Randy! You are the greatest wrestler past present and future. Ohhhh Yeahhh!!
Macho Man was on the weird side of youtube decades before youtube was even thought of!
You are weird and odd.
This is trippier, crazier, and funnier than anything Adult Swim has ever forcibly produced. LOL
ever watched world peace on as?
You can use the word "forcibly". How talented you are.
Yeah adult swim is a joke now ngl
@@e.b.6144 was that a big word to you? What's special about it?
@@HitLeftistsWithHammers E.B. is the special part of that word! Lol
Damn, Neil deGrasse Tyson looks young here!
Neil was paying his way through college by doing some wrestling commentary
Dill Clinton hahaah
bman4621
Neil was a muscular fit wrestler back then
Google it, Neil was in great shape and a good wrestler
+Deep Waters.. true! Neil was in great shape & he also looked like he should've been jamming with the Commodores!
The way he holds that tiny mic is hilarious to me
😂
Broken Randy Savage. lol
Please dont compare randy to that moronic broken matt bullshit
This promo needs more cowbell
Macho Man can do no wrong!
spfdff exactly!!!
Puts me in mind of those crazy nwo videos in black and white. Savage was ahead of his time. Also his shirt has come true G.O.A.T.
Vince McMahon: "Hire this man!"
Nightrain76
nah, Vince has Roman reigns running his wrestling Roman empire!
I think Roman needs to be completely repackaged. We all know he is Samoan, so calling him Roman makes no sense at this point.
I think he should be gotten rid of from wwe, he's bringing down wwe
#nighttrain76
Vince: "i've got the best idea, Roman is samoan and his shoot first name is Joe. Let's call him SAMOA JOE."
Milk Carton that's how the real Samoa Joe got his name, as there was another Joe at his wrestling school.
Probably the single greatest motivational speech ever.
Sickof Idiots Hell yeah MAN
This interview gave me epilepsy.
Dr.Beef K then
This has cured my seizures!
I'm fucking spazzing out watching this man!
teeoak 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Freak out, freak out! That's what it's all about, oh yeah!
That wasn't an interview. That was an epic Shakespearean LOL soliloquy.
RIP Randy Savage. You'll always be my favorite wrestler of all times.
That white boy done lost his mind
"You goof!" lmao
So is this where Eric Bischoff got the ideas for the nWo videos from. Sure looks like it.
Huh,always wondered what savage sounded like without the raspy voice
Randy Headroom
Haywood Yahblowmee LOOLOLOLOL
Haha, Wow.. that's exactly who I was thinking about seconds before seeing this comment.
OOOOH YEAAAAH! Macho WAAAYY ahead of his time! BAD ASS!!
Absolutely

Randy was something completely different. I mean that as a complement. That’s why Vince went with him in 85.
I remember his first TV match in WWF. Savage was like nothing else: nonstop, aerial, chaotic. You could not take your eyes off the TV when he was on.
Oxe Baker??? Wow, another incredible persona.
That synth stab at 2:05 has me in tears. 😂😂😂😂
That porno music and special fx makes it even funnier hahahahahaha
The music was actually Randy's theme from when he wrestled in Memphis and in ICW, Irene Cara's "Fame".
Mitchell Patterson man if I were only about 5-6 yrs older. i came into fandom around 87 at 5 and there was def some cool stuff going on. but i need to go back nd dig up the early 80s
LOL pretty sure that was Fame sung by Irene Cara.. unless I didn't watch long enough for the porno music to start...
That synth stab at 2:07 has me in tears. 😂😂😂😂
Cocaine is a hellava drug....
Bro its a character and an act you can clearly see he was new to the game of wrestling and discovering what his character should be like.
wait i didn't eat my mushroom stash yet
You can tell he was learning and discovering what his character should be like at that time.
Yeah the gimmick for Savage wasn't as fine tuned as it would be years later.
ICW Savage>Any Version of Savage after this run
I disagree. Watch Savage in the late 70s and early 80s and he's the same old Macho Man you see 10 years later in WWF. He's just 'different' or 'primitive sounding' in this video..
I think from here to his memphis run was best. His wwf run was missing "do the thing" and "confetti".

Stoner Randy seemed a little more chill compared to Coked up Randy. Both pretty awesome 😎
Ox Baker looked like Ming the Merciless from Flash Gordon a bit, lol....
Is that Jesse Jackson?
Ryan H No, it's Johnny Taylor.
+Killer Joe I thought Neil Degrasse Tyson. lmfao
No. This guy had a job.
zappasmustache LOL
GOT EM!
Ox Baker was once a contestant on The Price is Right
...Scared the HELL out of Bob Barker
there's a method to the madness
James Stinedurf Macho Madness
Could you imagine that at your front door?
how many hits of acid brought that about?
83reggieT 81...for the year lol
83reggieT dude, I was thinking the same thing
83reggieT Man, I was wondering how many hits of crack did it take, man
83reggieT consider people these days are retarded lol not much
how many hits of acid brought that about?
Randy was nWo long b4 96.
I was about to adjust the rabbit ear antenna on my UHF VHF TV damn I am get flashbacks and was that the song to the TV show Fame I was hearing
The 80's seems so awesome! If only there were a time machine
That music would win a Grammy for best hip-hop today.
ICW was in syndication here in Philly back in the 80's late Sunday night
Well that was an acid trip.😳
😳
😲
And THIS is why we have conspiracy theories...
lol, that was so funny...
I knew he was out there but fuck me
Macho Man before the coke years, lol, I miss you Randy.
Young Machoman, theres nothing better! He had this weird way of getting over people loved him
These must have been the acid years ;).
miamimagicians what do u mean by getting over ppl
lol,seriously? Stacking bodies in piles then tossing someone over top of the pile,obviously
neverwalkalone ur sick
A young Rev. Jesse Jackson back when he was wrastlin' for equalities in the ring.
Ox bakers interview was weirder than Randy’s...😳
Better than any promo today
That was like wrestling while on LSD... lol
I think I figured out what's happening here, I'm high.
3:56 "One Man Garvin" "One gang Garvin" "One man Garvin Gang" "One man Randy Garvin" WTF was this genius smoking?
Ronnie Garvin's nickname was "One Man Gang" so he kept messing it up, LOL!
@@VladamireD no one man gang and Garvin both wrestled there
Ox Baker looks like the bad guy in Flash Gordon from the 1980 movie
Damn I love Macho’s promo but Ox Baker is a straight savage in this
Macho Man Randy Savage was off that good Peruvian flake just saying.
Randy Savage: the dude you want on your side if you were in prison. Nobody would fuck with you
This is solid GOLD!! Prowrestling needs to return to this. Nobody was better than Macho Man!! RIP man. OHHH YEAA!!

This was before he warped his vocal cords to sound how he sounded later on. He was still working on it at this point.
I feel like I'm tripping balls while a jacked Doctor Teeth from the Muppets is yelling at me.
Wow! He looked about 250 lbs here
This is not 'bizarre'...this is classic Savage in full character. He had classic charisma that todays wrestlers severely lack
Just wonder how old Savage was at this point?
This is when Pro wrestling was real!
don't tell me wrestling was never real...
NWA, AWA, UWF...Any giving saturday morning or afternoon!
"Drugs are baaad mkay"
WTF?
It's Ox Baker stumbling over his words at the end that does it for me
"I will be the champyun!"
"Greatest of all time" Love it. Savage lives forever in all of us.
My god, the commentator opening this vid is horrible. "uh, we have uh, macho man in the television studio, uh, it's been quite some weeks, uh, back to you macho man."
Mark May 😂😂😂😂😂
Macho Man was the original mod to the broken gifs subreddit.
macho man the real deal no joke always had been
Randy Savage, the G.O.A.T Before being the 🐐 was cool
I miss this kind of insane territory wrestling. Sooooo glad I grew up on ICW and Memphis wrestling.
Lol randy is scary
This was trippy
I'm afraid.......................man
One Man Randy Garvin, brother!
It's like the Max Headroom channel hijacking, but a thousand times better.
Savage channelling his Wolfman from The Hilarious House of Frightenstein.
I wonder what he was on for this promo shoot lol
So Randy Savage was the person behind the Maxheadroom hack!
I had lunch with Ox back in 2003. What a gentleman!
At least they explain the clip and set it up. Don't just cut to 2 guys arguing backstage while eating Doritos or whoever the sponsor happens to be that month.
The sound effects are very distracting but Savage sounds awesome as always.
This video is ahead of its time.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
oooooooh yaaaaaa brother!!!!
"One Man Gang...RONNIE GARVIN??? Who had that name first, Garvin or the REAL OMG?!
Pulsar Stargrave
Ronnie Garvin was "One Man Gang", and One Man Gang was "Crusher Broomfield" in ICW? With the Fame theme song in the background. Hehehe....
Yes, they both were there.
+ATHOMEDAD777 Who was he feuding with? One part sounds like he was trying to get Ox Baker off of him and the other sounds like he was trying to get Ox Baker to take out Ronnie Garvin.
Fame was Randy Savage’s ring entrance song in ICW wasn’t it??
Yes. He even used it in Memphis before going to WWF.
Death Grips, but where Macho Man and MC Ride tag in and out between songs
God the drugs musta been fukin wicked
I like how he passes the mic back and forth from hand to hand the whole time Lol.
damn the vocab back then was on point
He looks like he ate Angus Young from AC/DC
Lmao!!..wtf?
He must have done this on the Hiliarious House of Frankenstein.
Randy was born in 1952. This looks like early 80’s video production…plus they used “fame” which was from 1980. So I’m guessing he was 28 or 29 here. No mention of “macho man” yet either.

He was the Macho Man at this point. This was just one promo that cut in and out. He was already using his Oh yeah catchphrase.
he sounds like today's rappers
Cocaine's a helluva drug
Randy had it all wrestling will never be the same without Savage he is definitely one of the all time greats that made me wrestling fan for life
man.. this earlier macho man than I remember
