[@johndill8796]

Conrad and Bruce have great chemistry, love these interviews gents

[@tommymclaughlin3203]

Having listened to literally EVERY episode with you and Bruce, Conrad this is my favourite great retrospective on Macho Man's WWF career.

[@paulwarwick1511]

I'm struggling keeping up with what episodes I've listened to and what ones I havent. Gonna have to make a spread sheet!

[@gregjohnson2824]

[@WeAreFlawed]

[@timwilliams8856]

Randy's brother is gay as f***

[@Who_You]

Holy shit! 1:09:50 to 1:11 absolute gold from Bruce.

[@jhot2477]

[@thetruth72667]

No your trying to get someone to trade insults with you & get some attention in a very strange, devoid of humor type of way. Good luck with that. It's good you still live with your family though.

[@TrillMexican305]

That made me spit out my water at work listening to this part!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@theungreatkahli]

Always liked Savage far more than Hogan.

[@billieboybuddha4238]

sure

[@BeeBumper]

Hands down

[@0lbluec10]

1000%

[@0lbluec10]

Savage was a way better worker

[@JJA1987]

Randy was and always will forever be better than Hogan

[@e-roc6703]

My favorite pro wrestler of all time, the macho Man Randy Savage. This was so incredibly interesting to listen to, all the insight, and stories. Very good.

[@phrasesinner]

"Make sure it's on her hip!!!" "I gotcha brother!!!"

[@MarkoAnzio]

Macho Man is one of my all time favorite wrestlers. However, it’s hard to not believe the rumors about he and Stephanie. What else could have possibly happened between he and Vince for him to have never been welcomed back to the WWF? The fact that Vince would just go quiet when asked about it by Bruce is pretty damning.

[@rustykuntz94]

That story around 1:26:00 in with Bruce trying to sell Randy on Sherri slapping Liz and Strongbow Sabotages the pitch was gold. His impression of Chief Jay 😂 “Yea uhhh Caeser wants Sherri to slap the shit out of Liz” like the worst thing he could say and exactly what Vince didn’t want to happen.

[@NYGiants5680]

What's wrong with spandex and cowboy boots b*tch? Pure Gold! (Start at 1:06:01 thru 1:11:ish)

[@JJA1987]

NYGiants5680 Bruce’s voice sounds so much like Randy’s it’s insane

[@trishfan11]

Agreed 100%. Funny as can be!

[@phrasesinner]

TheDieHardWWEAddict “Thanx Pal”

[@phrasesinner]

What’s Jay Lethal doing on Bruce’s podcast? “That’s my line!!!”

[@ChrisManley1994]

*UH HUH!!!!*

[@Jbobloochjr3]

Also 2:45:00 through about 3:30:00 mark I love the commentary on being a veteran and teaching the young ins lol Thanks again for this episode

[@cmonhitme419]

when bruce does his dusty - omg LOL

[@loveallah512]

Yes

[@Ori0n1975]

Bruce does the best impressions.

[@gripstrength]

The shower part of this show is the funniest thing I've ever heard on this podcast. Gonna wash the macho back. Gonna wash the macho hair. Uh huh!

[@thickerconstrictor9037]

The tree he crashed into was on Park boulevard in Seminole Florida. across the street from Publix. I lived in the neighborhood less than a quarter mile away. It would take me 30 seconds to hop in my car drive down the street make a right and I was on the street in view of where he crashed. I was also in fire academy at the time and had finished EMT school and one of my buddies was a firefighter at the station that responded. I immediately called him and bitched him out for not saving the macho Man haha he wasn't working that day but he said that if I remember correctly, macho Man didn't have a rhythm that was shockable. There are certain heart attacks that do not allow for shocks to bring them back. I used to drive by the tree every single day. I moved away when I got out of school but when I'm down in that area visiting friends and family a couple times a year I still see the tree. My Street was one Street in from Park. I could go in my backyard and look over the fence and see Park boulevard. It was so close where he died. There was a nice monument with a bunch of flowers and everything and as time went on there would be less and less but occasionally you would see people bring new stuff. There was a lot of sadness that day. I started wrestling in 2006 and I wrestled while I was in EMT and fire academy. I was only eighteen when I started wrestling and now I'm 31 and I helped teach at a school but my neck is a mess so I only do about 6 or 7 matches a year but I always love loved watching macho Man. And one of my good friends in wrestling had a shirt that had the macho Man sunglasses on with his wrestling name and he used to wear stuff that was very similar to macho man but not the same. He made it his own. But he would do the move that Randy did where he grabs the guy by the head and runs and jumps over the rope to the floor while holding the guy's head doing a hangman. My buddy's name was Wayne and he died of a heart attack in 2017 in the ring. his wrestling name was Wayne Van Dyke and or Richard delicious. You could actually probably look up online and see. He was a great person and loved the macho Man and we did a tribute show that I ran and organized in Seminole Florida. only about two miles down the road from the macho Man's death. It's crazy how life works sometimes.

[@antonioestark7033]

1:30:35 Thts comedy lmfao 🤣

[@vonbirddog2713]

Randys hair is what made him, it would fly all over the place when he would get hit and it looked crazy after a match.

[@thomasroedgaard117]

Randy Savage was the GOAT!

[@armenian_nightmare33]

My absolute favorite show on KZbin!

[@skincarver1797]

Wrestler's complain about Savage scripting matches but I don't hear fan's complaining?

[@stingrey1571]

savage is one of my all time favorite wrestlers. lanny poffo explained why savage was blackballed. it went both ways. savage held grudges. he never forgave vince for the nacho man skits and the innuendo implied in them. vince was mad because macho left without notice. vince doesnt mind if you leave as long as you let him know well in advance. macho, luger, and rick rude all left without informing vince beforehand.

[@skincarver1797]

There's an interview with Macho on here from 2000 he's got a red shirt on and a hat on backward's where he says he wasn't offended at all by the Nacho Man gimmick. He said it caused no friction and when somebody made fun of him it just meant he was important.

[@thetruth72667]

Yea thank you! He loved & woulda been offended if he wasn't in them. His father not going into a royal rumble type match for legends was a big problem with him.

[@Jayce_Alexander]

@@skincarver1797 You're right, I've seen that shoot interview. I think it might have been a case of Macho not wanting to lose face by admitting publicly he hated those skits, though, but I guess we'll never know for sure.

[@MTRZ97]

SkinCarver Savage actually said in that interview that he actually would have been more offended had he NOT been parodied in those segments because it would mean that Vince forgot about him.

[@Potent_Potables]

3:45:40 The Movie is actually "Mr. Saturday Night" 1992

[@davidlaboucan327]

You wanna know my name ? Look at my boots

[@Simouno]

It's such a shame that in WWF and then WCW Savage had always to live in Hogan's shadow, when to me, Macho Man was 10x the wrestler and character Hogan could only dream to be, it was just the timing to be wrong because first Hulkamania and then the NWO took all the attention away from Savage's rise

[@justpunishingvaginassince1923]

But think if it wasn't for savage , Hulkamania could have died ... Randy helped build Hulkamania and that's pretty cool

[@johncap7201]

I don't know why they had Savage join NWO without saying he was forced. I think it was mentioned slightly fast. But remember the finger poke of doom. I think if they didn't get hit with all those injures we might have had the proper end to the NWO. Sting and Savage weren't there. I wonder how it would have played out. Savage was one the hottest acts in wrestling in 97-98.

[@evilbanjos5768]

Savage got in them guts Bruce...search your feelings , you know it to be true 😭😂✌🏻️

[@cineMADvocate]

Evil Banjos does fantasizing about the fact that other people have had sexual make you feel like you have as well or is it strictly jerk off material!?

[@chrisburns8562]

Macho man is my favorite of the old guys and the end of this had me in tears.... the GOAT

[@jaroncreed]

Funny how after Bruce tells the story about Terry Taylor, at around 1:40:00, Conrad almost immediately begins to call him the Red 'fucking' Rooster lol!

[@CeeMigoLoCo]

2 things i can clarify just because i recently watched these two interviews recently, 1) In an interview with Jake Roberts, he said that a day or two before the match with him and Randy Savage after the wedding with the Cobra biting Randy, Roberts and Randy both planned out that spot in the match with the snake biting Savage but before Randy agreed to doing that spot, he wanted to have the snake bite Jake first and prove to him that it was really devenomized before he did it on live tv lol. Jake didn't wanna do it at first but eventually he did but it hurt like son of a gun lol, so the day of the match, Jake decided to rib Randy by kicking the snake in the bag and pissing the it off before it bit Randy so it would be way worse for Randy than it was for Jake since Randy made Jake get bit by the snake first lol. 2) I listened to an interview with Lanny Poffo recently where he actually did say and confirm that Randy Savage didn't wanna be in the Hall of Fame unless his whole family could be inducted with him. Even though he wasn't for sure about what he said, it was a true statement from Bruce when he mentioned that part in the podcast.. Just throwing out these facts for everyone incase they were wondering! Thanks for this great episode Conrad and Bruce! Macho Man was one of my all time favorites growing up. He will always be remembered as one of the GOAT in pro wrestling, RIP Randy "Macho Man" Savage 🤘

[@MRDOZEDOFF420]

1:10:05 what wrong with spandex and cowboy boots bitch. Dying over here

Thanks

[@v1per187]

thank you

[@bahbaroni9955]

Thanks bro

[@io8190]

👍

[@ShootNeutrality]

I think Bruce Pritchard should record an album with him singing show tunes while doing Macho Man's voice.

[@vcvortex6356]

No T in Prichard.

[@davidfrederick1971]

Steamboat said in an interview "Randy says to me while we 'planned the match' Hogan-Andre maybe me main eventing, but were going to steal the show"

[@gravewax5892]

Yeah I've heard it 1000 times myself, and it's 1000% true, they did! Watching 3 as it happened, that was the match my cousin and I couldn't stop talking about. In the years since I've used 3 to compare wrestling generations. The 2 things still talked about outside of attendance, was the savage steamboat and Andre being slammed. Wrestling fans long for the storytelling of savage steamboat, flair was king of those in the day before he became the woooo. We get these once in a blue moon. The Andre slam, the only real big spot of the match, is wrestling today as a whole. All spots no story. But least even then those 2 told a story somewhat. The back story leading to the match built that match. And really I just summed up today's wrestling: all spots, no story.

[@cineMADvocate]

Oh my god guy I also have heard this story! Are there any three fans smarter than us? We seem to know everything about everything huh, guys!? Right!? High fives.

[@michaelpitt57]

Bonesaw mcgraw

[@io8190]

"CUP OF COFFEE IN THE BIG TIME YEAH"

[@Keepitgreasy11]

Why Vince McMahon held a grudge against Macho Man is that $750,000 Slim Jim sponsor would be a reason why McMahon was pissed! (Eric Bischoff said) Does anyone remember Diesel or Bam Bam in 1995 doing the Slim Jim commercials? Not so good... Macho Man had the WCW brand endorsements covered with Slim Jim and nailed out of the park. So it was big money that WWF could of used, also their deal first with Warrior (next) then Macho and for the win! And Macho leaves and literally gone south! Who wouldn't be angry???

[@bonesbrigader]

"Elizabeth.... Down That Aisle"

[@thomasroedgaard117]

History beckons the Macho Man yeah! Great podcasts and much love from Denmark :-D

[@TheRpf1977]

I love Bruces MM impression what most dont know is it wasnt a gimmick he lived that character 24/7

[@djbloodshot]

The universal disrespect virgil gets from pretty much everyone is both sad and hilarious

[@brianfernandez8488]

Bruce's Macho and Dusty's impersonations are hilarious. So on point.

[@deepblue8143]

Yes, his Stu and Jerry Jarrett are the best to me though. He cracks me up.

[@ssjrblack1365]

Bruce does an awesome Randy Savage impression lol

[@JJA1987]

Same with Vince and others.

[@karlepaul6632]

Actually, Bruce was correct regarding the Ripley's Believe It or Not story...they used to have these collage type of drawings with various facts underneath each one, and Angelo Poffo was indeed part of one for the amount of sit-ups he had done.

[@marini11]

Wow his impressions are amazing, hot dang!

[@armenian_nightmare33]

Yeah, they really are! I especially love his Brother Love impression...he sounds EXACTLY like that guy! Lol

[@PeterHowe228]

I met Bushwacker Luke about 4 years ago and I asked him what Randy Savage sounded like when he wasn't on. He told me he started talking that way in 1983 and never stopped.

[@cineMADvocate]

Peter wow we haven’t heard that story before....🙄

[@jokoolmyles4354]

All man! Probably the best episode of STW. Had me going the whole time brother! Lol

[@DME2210]

There has never been or never will be a person who gets into their character more than Randy Savage!

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

My favorite of ALL time macho man one of a kind opposition yeah !!! Dig it!!!

[@joemama7163]

Macho was my all-time favorite. Great on the mic, intense, and for those that say he wasn't a great worker I question your sanity. In this interview they list all the guys that had their career best match with Macho, there's a reason why.

[@Difrentstyles]

1:32:21 Beantown frozen oranges 🍊 and mayo 😅

[@twiken]

Can you guys add the towel and baseball story as a standalone on your page? It's the best!

[@kingfetus4874]

Awesome listing to this macho man was one of the greatest of all time thanks for this episode Bruce and Conrad

[@cbangteamill7908]

1:07:40 just makes laugh til I cry

[@bensawesomemixchannel7220]

"FREAK OUT ! FREAK OUT!!" i forgot all about that and the confetti

[@King_Kunta]

Savage was one of my all time favorite wrestlers. I was born in 89 so I seen him at the tale end of his career in wcw.

[@subgrappling805]

Shoutout to Dan Soder's Macho Man impression at a little after 57:17. Crackle crackle campers!

[@Ori0n1975]

That thumbnail pic looks like John Cena dressed like the Macho Man.😂

[@Eric-ew8jt]

This one of the funniest episodes I’ve ever heard! “What’s wrong with spandex and cowboy boots bitch!? Sensational Sheri assaulted with a ziplock bag of mayonnaise 😂😂😂😂😂 when Bruce was Actually “There” his stories are Funny AF

[@Ghiaccio-x1j]

LOL! His Vince impression the best.

[@Jbobloochjr3]

So when you're doing these podcasts, how hard is it for you Conrad in not to break out laughing after the impressions Bruce does?!

[@ericirish1606]

Oooh yeah!!! Snap into a slim Jim !!! They have came out with new Macho Man slim Jim holders and I want one

[@phillipcollins1658]

I've just recently discovered the show. LOVE IT. Binge watching the full episodes. I realize Bruce wasn't really around him all that much but if you guys could manage to put a Booker T episode together I think it would be very entertaining. Now can you dig that...SUCKAAAAAA!!!!!!

[@diamondj.4076]

I laughed way too hard at this 🤣🤣🤣

[@diamondj.4076]

🤣🤣

[@joshuar.4168]

Loved this podcast!..... Even if Bruce wasn't working for wwe at the time, do you really think he'd admit to conrad that Randy was screwing Stephanie?! The world will never know lol

[@jayb-clay2724]

the guy that made his gear did an interview on the Randy Savage story DVD the WWE did after Macho passed away

[@davidgi3]

At 3:45:40 the movie he references is actually Mr. Saturday Night, not The Kings of Comedy

[@gravewax5892]

52:35ish, Conrad, yes my cousins and I all were doing the elbow and the superfly splash the double axhandles the ddt. Being that I was the biggest and supposedly looked the part to a degree, I shelled out tombstones like no tomorrow. I also got stuck being warrior😒

[@cineMADvocate]

grave wax dude was like “I’m about to put myself over in the comment section” 🤦‍♀️

[@dealt]

I love the Vince-isms from Bruce. "Babyface team's gotta win Pal!"

[@cantona7449]

Jake the Snake, Macho Man, Undertaker and the Ultimate Warrior are the 4 pillars

[@josephboza7448]

This is one of my favorite episodes. It was interesting to hear a full discussion on the positives and negatives of Randy in the wrestling business It was a discussion that needed to happen when Randy passed. I was speechless that it took Randy dying to go in the Hall of Fame. I always heard the rumor of Stephanie and Randy sleeping together but the pregnancy part and hiding it from Vince was the biggest load of bullshit i have ever heard. I wouldnt be surprised if it was Dave Meltzer starting it being desperate for clicks. I agree with Bruce why Brother Love wasnt involved on tv during Randy and Sherri's issues with Dusty and Sapphire amazed me. He added to the storyline. He played well being scared and hiding behind the Queen of the Madness. I could tell that Vince had moved on from Dusty as I watched Summerslam 90. That was my least favorite match of Randy. Also felt for Sherri, thought we would get a random divas match at Summerslam between the Queen and Sapphire but didnt happen.

[@jayb-clay2724]

this is Ricky the Dragon Steamboat's cuppa coffee in the big time yeah! cuppa coffee in the big time! brilliant

[@davidyeary385]

i want an Iron Mike Sharpe biopic fuck the big budget hulkster one.

[@Wesker-bg1rn]

Beefcake was over huge???? When I was a kid they were calling him the beefburger guy ha

[@ethanellis2896]

Best part at 1:31:14 with Vince slapping the hell outta Bruce lol

[@CobraCraig88]

“Yeah uh huh let’s just hit her and lay her the f*** out.” How do you not laugh.

[@JJA1987]

God Damn it Sherri I want you to hit her - Just Slap Her LMFAO

[@Reesarte]

I think Vince had a grudge with Randy because Randy left out of nowhere, and was much more in the office, Vince probably thought he could count on Randy.

[@phrasesinner]

Bruce needs, in all future STW episodes, to have any stories or anecdotes from his career to somehow always feature something with Vince & Randi even if their not part of said story.

[@Ty-dp7iv]

BONESAW IS RREADDY!

[@louisharrison6593]

Steamboat vs Savage Wrestlemania 3 is my favorite match of all time.. such great wrestling, storytelling and execution

[@cineMADvocate]

Louis Harrison yeah but what about Savage vs Steamboat at Mania 3!? I know you just mentioned it but I want you to know that I also agree with literally everyone else that it was a great match. I know it’s been said a thousand times but fuck it nuh?

[@gravewax5892]

Can we get a Liz episode? Granted I dunno how much outside of this time span Bruce woulda had much interaction with her, but it'd be great to hear

[@op2001]

That msg story had me rolling lmao

[@thechosenones4375]

My favorite ep of Superstars was when Ultimate Warrior ended Brother Love's career. At the time, I felt sorry for him because I liked Brother Love, but now that I know more about Prichard, I wouldn't feel bad at all. Love his Macho Man impressions though lol

[@josephhuffman240]

OMG, Bruce Prichard is so damned funny!!

[@jonoisgood]

WASH THE MACHO BACK OOOHHH YEAH

[@SIX6SIXer]

Greatest match ever 👇 "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat

[@thunercattt6018]

Superstars was the best as a kid. Sure it was a Superstar vs Tom Stone. But it was a chance to see the stars in between the PPV's. I grew up in northern Canada. We didn't get house shows until mid 90s. So this was the only way to see wrestling on Superstars. Then the PPV's on VHS

[@cantona7449]

Savage was one of the best, Jake the Snake was the best, Macho Man close second. Do a show about his rap album.

[@codykueker4372]

I feel like if I spoke like Mach I’d have a heart attack too.

[@Deebosbikeshop]

Macho has the best pick up lanes every “yea im wearing spandex and cowboy boots bitch”

[@robertcolson2233]

*Hogan tapped Liz*

[@Lou-fm1ro]

There was also Maple Leaf Wrestling up in Toronto Ontario

[@coresan9956]

Still unsure WHY they didnt have savage-steamboat in the 2nd round. The greg valentine match bored me.

[@peteyp365]

That whole card was terrible

[@AOIbis]

First name Macho last name man... haha!! 1:10:00

[@jasoncutshaw8401]

LA Knight looks old and He's almost 41 and just now getting over like nobody else I've seen in a while..Macho Man was BETTER than He'll ever be ever..

[@nesaiamon8727]

Haha Conrad always says Brutus the FUCKING barber... LOL

[@davidfrederick1971]

when they talk about SNME when HTM shoves Liz down, either on the mat or when she gets up, one of her dress straps is undone. Curious if thats her doing or the shove

[@skelemike9699]

Loving this episode so far but correct me if I’m wrong but Royal Rumble ‘90 wasn’t there a Brother Love show where Queen Sherri & Brother Love make fun of Sapphire for being fat....then Sapphire smacks her, prompting Savage & Dusty to come out? This happens before the Rumble match itself. Conrad says the beginnings of this feud happen after RR ‘90? This is how I remember things going down which led to great TV with the royals vs the “commoners”

[@gravewax5892]

1:48:45ish with the dislike Andre had for savage, stories I've always heard from the guys has been that macho oiled up and Andre hated baby oil and in turn anyone using it. But with how Randy was with Liz, maybe Andre didn't like how Randy treated Liz and took it upon himself to kinda teach Randy a lesson.... Guess we'll never know for sure
