"Why don't you shut up starting now before I take your face and SPLATTER IT AGAINST THAT WALL?!?!?!" Notice we didn't see this guy much after 1987?

[@Thekingdomofmadness]

He used that line as an opener in a lot of the interviews with Resnick 😆

@@Thekingdomofmadness yoo i just noticed he called him a " Chumpion"🤣

[@billkeaveney1526]

No one better than the Macho Man ❤️

[@furrybogard9724]

I know Macho's the focus here, and it's always a treat to watch them. But damn if these aren't such amazing time capsules! 'The midgets on the card..' God I miss those days

[@douglasthompson1724]

Arco Arena, what a throwback.

[@TeamRogers7]

Macho Man Totally Loved That AWESOME Title Card!

[@oc9357]

HOLY SHIT I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THIS MONDAY NIGHT

[@syedghousalibatchsixrawalp3159]

Whyy

[@johnm2631]

Superb.

[@hilarypalm-bradich3468]

RIP gorgeous. If only it could be this Monday night....love you Superman. If only you could travel back in time.

[@yuvgotubekidding]

Sure don’t miss VHS quality. 😄 It was all we had then.

[@oc9357]

0:38 "CHUMPION" HELLA DISRESPECTFUL 🤣

[@du6165]

That’s a cool card.

[@adamdesanti6713]

You can tell here just how much chemistry Randy had with Mean Gene when it's another guy. Okerlund would chip in with astute observations that Randy would feed off of and improv, which is like writing for a character in real-time. He was a wonderful dance partner. Gene wasn't stand-offish or mocking, which is the wrong way to interview a heel.

[@Thomas-mn6fj]

I wonder if Randy apologized to the announcer off camera!🤣🤣🤣

[@oc9357]

Fuck no. He called macho a chumpion🤣

[@Vaporvice84]

Rewatch some of their other promos. These 2 definitely hated each other in real life.

[@mr.wordsworth]

Ken Resnick was always good , I thought, opposite Randy Savage

[@Thekingdomofmadness]

Yes, I like him too. He wasn’t Mean Gene but who is?

[@pepsiguy52883]

Chumpion? I hope macho got him back for that

[@TheVCRTimeMachine]

Starts by saying Steamboat won’t be 100% when he enters the ring and ends by saying he will take him out 100%…simple, but brilliant

[@lvx_rose]

Macho Man HATED this guy lol

[@Apuleius_]

Though they had lots of onscreen friction, apparently Macho Man and Ken Resnick got along fine off-camera. Resnick says Savage even called him after surgery to send get-well wishes.

RANDY SAVAGE IS DA MAN 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@kennethmelnychuk9737]

I believe that he wasn’t fond of Terry Bolea

[@NightWarriorAlive]

OUT!

[@Khader1093]

Cocaine is hell of a drug 🤣

[@chrisdryer]

The Midget's on the card?

[@user-dc1dr9kr8x]

Gene mean makes every other host look pathetic
