Macho Man Randy Savage Promo on Honky Tonk Man (07-26-1987)

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "Macho Man" Randy Savage about his upcoming match with Intercontinental Champion Honky Tonk Man at the Arco Arena.
I believe this promo is one of the earliest signs of Macho becoming a babyface to have aired on WWF TV (albeit only in a localised area).
(Wrestling Challenge, July 26th 1987)

35 years ago today this great promo was cut. Still better than any promo currently anywhere in wrestling.

Always perfect delivery. Never a stutter or a boo boo. Every word intentional and beautiful. Brilliant man.

"non flattery type situation". I think I might use that sometime instead of saying I just got insulted.

This might as well have been a heel vs heel match! Savage was still fighting faces in July 87!

The promos were so much better when these guys were doing cocaine

Jim Brunzell teaming with Hillbilly Jim…the Killer Jims? B. Brian Blair must have been injured. Surprised the Bees beat the Harts at all, even in non-title matches.
