Macho Man's BIZARRE Interview

[@hexkwondo]

Macho Man was on the weird side of youtube decades before youtube was even thought of!

[@RyanBenbow]

You are weird and odd.

[@HatedHumanist]

This is trippier, crazier, and funnier than anything Adult Swim has ever forcibly produced. LOL

[@dosomething5062]

[@e.b.6144]

You can use the word "forcibly". How talented you are.

[@dennisbowen452]

Yeah adult swim is a joke now ngl

[@dillclinton4379]

Neil was paying his way through college by doing some wrestling commentary

[@colonellingus7220]

[@miketyson1240]

bman4621 Neil was a muscular fit wrestler back then

[@miketyson1240]

Google it, Neil was in great shape and a good wrestler

[@MarkPiggy79]

RIP Randy Savage. You'll always be my favorite wrestler of all times.

Probably the single greatest motivational speech ever.

[@dustyjarvis464]

[@mikehunt4986]

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!

[@joshuacruz4244]

You can tell he was learning and discovering what his character should be like at that time.

[@russellgoulding4263]

That wasn't an interview. That was an epic Shakespearean LOL soliloquy.

[@VolumedMusicMan]

Randy was something completely different. I mean that as a complement. That’s why Vince went with him in 85.

[@actionsub]

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.

[@Nightrain76]

Vince McMahon: "Hire this man!"

[@shemailgoondall9531]

Nightrain76 nah, Vince has Roman reigns running his wrestling Roman empire!

[@Nightrain76]

I think Roman needs to be completely repackaged. We all know he is Samoan, so calling him Roman makes no sense at this point.

[@shemailgoondall9531]

I think he should be gotten rid of from wwe, he's bringing down wwe

[@milkcarton6654]

#nighttrain76 Vince: "i've got the best idea, Roman is samoan and his shoot first name is Joe. Let's call him SAMOA JOE."

[@BenJohnson0531]

Milk Carton that's how the real Samoa Joe got his name, as there was another Joe at his wrestling school.

[@x5079x]

OOOOH YEAAAAH! Macho WAAAYY ahead of his time! BAD ASS!!

[@PsychomachineryEBM]

Absolutely

[@kevinrichmond6513]

[@Junkay2]

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!

[@johngist3761]

That synth stab at 2:05 has me in tears. 😂😂😂😂

[@moderusprime]

So is this where Eric Bischoff got the ideas for the nWo videos from. Sure looks like it.

Ox Baker was once a contestant on The Price is Right

[@thebigandgreat1]

Yeah the gimmick for Savage wasn't as fine tuned as it would be years later.

[@mrnaji]

ICW Savage>Any Version of Savage after this run

[@natalieparker5928]

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]

I think from here to his memphis run was best. His wwf run was missing "do the thing" and "confetti".

[@ericjackson7632]

@@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.

[@shaolin1derpalm]

@@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".

Huh,always wondered what savage sounded like without the raspy voice

[@SamsonWhitemoon]

That porno music and special fx makes it even funnier hahahahahaha

[@HyperRoboTenguris1984]

The music was actually Randy's theme from when he wrestled in Memphis and in ICW, Irene Cara's "Fame".

[@dmac5472]

This is solid GOLD!! Prowrestling needs to return to this. Nobody was better than Macho Man!! RIP man. OHHH YEAA!!

[@Makron5]

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.

[@troylowe814]

I miss this kind of insane territory wrestling. Sooooo glad I grew up on ICW and Memphis wrestling.

Yes. He even used it in Memphis before going to WWF.

[@AdamHauger]

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.

[@GonzoAmerican]

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!!

[@thegoughandbordenfamily8234]

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.
