(Superstars, October 3rd 1987)

[@appledroplarry]

Very few people on this planet can pull off a bandana, beard, ski goggles, sweat bands, gold chain, camo tank top and a frizzy mullet.

[@klj2382]

He’s the only one, yeah! There’s only one macho man, yeah!

[@unlimitedrabbit]

It's because he's spunky.

[@curotto100]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug!!

[@MrPocketfullOfSteel]

WORD.

[@Darqwulph]

@@curotto100 he doesn't need cocaine he has Macho Madness

[@JayT89277]

“The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph” Macho Man with the knowledge to become the cream of the crop.

[@notyourfriendbuddy]

I thought it was because he was unjustifiably in a position he’d rather not be in

[@murdermatics]

Nothing means nothing. The cream will rise.

And then another 180.

[@fredriksvard2603]

[@glorymosbyfloyd3878]

😂😂😂😂😂 I would love to see that

[@MrLuigi5150]

Macho man has more charisma in one of his fingers than the whole wwe roster today

[@tkong35]

OHHHHH YEAAAHHHH!! 😎

[@kinghell9061]

and happy pills... Once they figure out how to have them all fully coked and steroided without prematurely killing them, it could be worth watching again.

[@robertgerrard]

Shit man I'm trying to watch WWE again it's paused right now edge is sitting down talking 😴😴😴😴😴 there are some good moments and Edge is and has been good but for me the Era of Hogan and Macho Madness is just 🌟🤩⭐🌠💫levels above special shout out to The UNDERTAKER 💯🇮🇪❤

[@Machete87]

Savage was so full of intensity he made it look real.😁

[@mattrousseau1889]

100% true

[@Booker775]

He absolutely gave the best promos. He is missed.

[@mattguy2998]

Him and mean gene

[@bigdrew565]

Tell you what, Mean Gene had already been gone from the wwf for a couple of years when Macho Man had finally made it over to wcw. They never missed a beat.

[@jeffreyromain7336]

He certainly is 😢

[@TheCrapcakes]

Mean Gene always meeting Elizabeth alone is the best recurring joke they ever had. It set up Macho Man perfectly

[@mdot100]

Yeah, his reaction is priceless....lol!

[@davidblair5064]

m dizzle mmm. Z zmzzk

[@zgammozakent7871]

It was so funny because it was so real, macho Man was really protective of Elizabeth, mean not was the only one Randy would letg let talk to her

[@bubbathegreat78]

"All-time, record high, big time jubilee." Just pure gold right there

[@Vaporvice84]

"BACK TO THE AIRPORT!!" Lol. Love hearing Randy's voice trail off.

[@1974GJH]

“Do something even if it’s wrong or if it’s right but stay spunky”. You were the best Macho

[@klj2382]

words to live by

[@theindiandragon4821]

The spinning around is such a signature of the Macho Man,even in interviews it's awesome....

[@relaxmusic3778]

"I'm gonna be thinking about that with a microscope". man this guy had the best and most original interviews

[@glorymosbyfloyd3878]

I used to just love watching Randy Savage spin around in his interviews! ! I really miss these days!! One of the best

[@regulardadhere8832]

Glory Mosby MachoMan was better than the best!😉

[@dropkickninja5379]

Absolutely, wrestling will never ever be as good as it used to be.

[@ahf5471]

These were the glory days of wrestling for sure...

[@williampollock1274]

He was very funny and entertaining to watch. Sad he's gone.

[@glorymosbyfloyd3878]

Indeed, Indeed gentlemen

[@wade93]

“Back to the airport!” Lol!! I can watch these interviews all day

[@stevearmin5346]

Not only did he give great promos, but he was a helluva performer to boot. Athletic and agile as hell.

[@arod2435]

There will never be anybody close to MACHO MAN, This Dude is 1 of a KIND, 1 of the Best all time.

[@AJ-das]

Riff Raff is kinda like Macho Man

[@jeffreyromain7336]

I can still hear 'smart clown' ( the line delivered by Randy) in my head when Doink was pretending to apologise to Crush just before the purveyor of pranks assaulted Crush with is false arm cast.

[@DonoldMcPeterson]

C.O.T.C

[@611gay5]

The candyman channelled his energy for all the prefight promos

[@611gay5]

Hes to mindboggling to us all man, ya!

[@mrwolf7321]

Macho Man & Mean Gene the best interview combo 💯

[@christianzafiroglu6705]

Jim Cornette was asked if there was an era when Randy Savage wouldn’t be successful. He said he couldn’t think of one. Maybe the 1940s, but even then he would stand out. Savage is just, somehow, timeless.

[@Swededude74]

Pure Genius! ❤ I was so blessed to be a kid in the 80's 💪

[@agonyacres]

“Im the wrestlers wrestler” ❤️👍🏻

[@hlf_coder6272]

BACK TO THE AIRPORT! His funniest lines were always when he was walking away

[@Eddie-oc2se]

It's called still babbling on when nobody cares!! Well, today we still care, Macho Man was the funniest at trying not to be funny! 😂

[@chrisge3212]

Man I can watch Macho Man's promos/interviews all day long!! One of the greatest entertainers of ALL-TIME!!

Def. Hogan sucked. I like how in machos documentary hulk Hogan talked about cheating on a dead mans wife during his life story.

[@anthonym5917]

"I'm gonna be thinking about that with a microscope" 🤣 macho man is a damn legend

Would love to get video of Okerlund meeting up with Savage in the afterlife. ~ R.I.P. Mean Gene ~

[@johnc5713]

Savage and Piper were hysterical with their promos

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

Flair, Dusty and Macho Man. The 3 best promo men of my lifetime.

[@daakrolb]

I missed the hype in its heyday, but watching this now- I realize there is an enormous amount of talent involved in this. For damn long live Randy Savage’s legacy.

During the interview, he spun a 900.

[@Fantomaslives]

Genius !!

[@lesterbuckman5493]

Man I got come back and get my fix of Macho, RIP champ the greatest of all time

[@SpacedCobraIII]

I like that you can just slightly see his eyes through his mega shades. Gives him a double crazed look.

[@stevejamieson8468]

He is all coked up and ready to explode

[@jeffcee500]

Macho Man was baked like an apple pie! Regardless, the man was and still is a legend 👍🏽

[@edwardgaines6561]

Baked like an apple pie! LOL! 🍎 🥧

[@ellipseswrong9699]

Coked out, perhaps? Plus the roids…

[@stevejamieson8468]

​@@ellipseswrong9699 He was super coked out, he was always getting his coke from Hulk & Sheiky

I can! Make a left at Macho Drive coming up 1, 2, 3, Oooh Yeah!

[@harryyunek9971]

Macho Man made it believable, till this day i have no idea which interviews he was in a bad mood in...

[@jeffhargrove759]

Nobody can get away with ending a conversation by spinning and then kissing their bicep anymore randy perfected it 😂

[@adamdesanti6713]

We all need to end our conversations by doing a 360 and kissing our bicep.

[@justwam7619]

I'm telling you, after aa hard day at work coming home to see this on my feed really makes my day.

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

No one is/was better than Mean Gene. He was liked just like the wrestlers. He was brilliant at his job

[@midwestmafia6284]

That more spunk is caused from one 8 ball a day to three 8 balls a day!

[@yomommajumprcables]

Legend

[@MrPocketfullOfSteel]

This Legend was always "unjustifiably in a position he'd rather not be in."🤣 This era was justifiably the golden era of wrestling and I was fortunate enough to witness live. Every time I grab a creamer I think of Macho Man.

[@paulholloway8885]

I am in complete awe at how brilliant Randy was. What a promo.

[@Bullski123]

This guy is waaaaay over the moon on his ego….hilarious…!

[@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester]

Macho with his Pinkie had more Charisma and Mic and In ring Skills then anyone today

[@claytondusauzay6745]

"Back to the airport!!!"

[@AGCcachanilla]

Mean gene's - "hes a great one", was probably not in the script he just really loved his promos

[@jeremydeering8280]

I was thinking the same

[@DarkLordofTheSith69]

They didn't have scripts back then it was all freestyle ..they would just have bullet points to cover and just let rip ..that's why it was so good..nobody could write for the macho man he was the macho man ..he lived it 24/7..all the hand movements and gestures was his natural reaction ...they didnt even have writers then..it was just mcmahon and patterson booking the territory with a pencil and ledger book...

[@michiganjack1337]

Just here keeping Gene and the memory of the Poffo brothers alive.

[@markfindlay8636]

Back to the airport! Thanks for uploading ,made me laugh!

[@vihustle]

SPUNK!!

[@kclayt88]

Cocaine! Lol

[@DarkLordofTheSith69]

In the U.K. spunk means Jizz

[@23Skadoosh]

Nowadays, spunk means something totally different

And the push to the WWF Title has started!

[@jeffreyromain7336]

For a brief period 1990-1993 (I was in my early 30's) I was really hooked on WWF for it's entertainment value. I looked forward to Razor Ramone, The Undertaker and his minion Paul bearer, I particularly liked Doink in his 'evil' incarnation. However, for me the best entertainment value by way of his interviews was good old Randy RIP 😢
