The WCW Career of Macho Man Randy Savage

[@josephjohnroe3678]

The greatest wrestler to constantly get buried in favor of much lesser talent.

[@alexmarquez9639]

Yeah but in wrestling the titles don't mean as much to me because it's a work what matters is how good you were as a worker and entertainer and Savage work aged better than Hogan's.

[@Sgtviolence]

And he kept coming out being better and better. I recognize macho man as the best ever.

[@john-m8w]

Not really, he was a World Champ 6x.

[@cax1175]

@@alexmarquez9639 Exactly, Shawn Michaels is a 4x world champion but is the goat personally

[@mikeconnors1599]

So true

[@dannywholuv]

He had the look, the wrestling skills and could deliver promos. He was willing to put other wrestlers over. Could play baby face and heel both brilliantly. Not many could tick all these boxes. Randy Macho Man Savage was the greatest of all time.

[@azapro911]

Savage was still doing incredible work into his mid-40s, his matches overshadowed Hogan's on every PPV.

[@jeffreybomber4251]

My favorite wrestler growing up. Wrestle mania 4 was one of the happiest days of my 10 year old life.

[@andyappleton3353]

Same here. Macho-Man won the world title. Demolition won the tag titles and Warrior crushed Hercules! For sentimental and nostalgia factor, it will forever be my favorite wrestling event. Can't believe wrestling critics largely panned it.

[@andyappleton3353]

@deathflower No doubt. Respek!

[@RNC200711]

Randy always had good 'Mania matches, Steamboat, DiBiase, Hogan, Warrior, Flair...I even enjoyed his match with Crush at 'Mania 10

[@MarkPiggy79]

@deathflower I always felt like Vince held Randy Savage back quite a bit! Especially in the early 90s, he wasn't in the Survivor series except for the little interview he had. And they didn't let him enter the Royal Rumble! He could have ran circles around those guys rather than having Rick Martel get the record that year.

[@RNC200711]

@deathflower Pity the Savage/Crush feud ended there, but as you said he was a great entertainer and performer and always stole the show on the big stage

[@mrf19741]

I always Loved Macho Man in the ring and on the mic. Hogan could never let Macho Man have the spotlight all to himself whether it was in the WWF or WCW. MACHO MADNESS FOREVER! OH YEAH! DIG IT!

[@stacyaman3949]

Ohhh yeeahhhhh!!!!! Macho forever!!!!

[@N7BornDed]

Greatest of all time. Charisma, strengh, technical skill. The man was a legend and always will be.

[@josemontano7767]

I miss the Macho Man You made my childhood ROCK!

[@carlosreyes3195]

Know your role and shut your mouth

[@fitness65]

Rip the greatest to ever grace the squared circle. His feud with ddp was legendary and was the feud that put ddp on the map in wcw.

[@marcussimmons2708]

My favorite wrestler growing up. Great in ring performer! Macho Man vs Ricky Steamboat one of my favorite feuds in WWF... R.I.P. Macho Madness! OOOOOOOOHHHHH YEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!

[@alexrekzu4079]

Randy never needed a push.... he was a pure spirit

[@pipepicasso8112]

Fun fact: Macho Man was a minor league baseball player. He actually severely injured his throwing arm at one point. He learned to throw with his other arm, to stick around for a few more years.

[@kevinpayton2664]

Randy was on a St. Louis Cardinals radio broadcast and talked about his baseball career. He led the league in hitting once during his minor league career.

[@KEICRUMBIE]

My favorite wrestler ever. I miss you Randy 💔☝

[@Danimal77]

I was always impressed by how JACKED Randy got from late 1998 to mid 2000. His entire body (arms, neck, pecs, delts, lats, etc) were never that big (mass), defined (cut) and striated (veins) in his entire career and what's most impressive is that he was in his mid-late 40's at that time.

[@robzilla730]

roids

[@MarkPiggy79]

Macho Man Randy Savage was and always will be my favorite wrestler of all times. He put on a barn burner with Ricky the Dragon Steamboat at WrestleMania 3. That match in my opinion was the greatest InterContinental match of all times. WrestleMania 4 when he won the tournament was absolutely breathtaking.

[@jeffreybomber4251]

Mark Pignataro agree 1000 percent.

[@lawrencedavis2779]

True. But nobody talks about him winning the 1st King of the Ring in like 85/86. He was a great in the ring

[@MarkPiggy79]

@@lawrencedavis2779 actually it was the 1987 King of the Ring that Randy Savage won! It was absolutely amazing watching him wrestle all those matches. The 1985 King of the Ring Was Won by Don Morocco. Harley Race won the 1986 King of the Ring!

[@lawrencedavis2779]

@@MarkPiggy79 ok, I remember he cradled JYD with a half small package. He dominated the tournament.

[@MarkPiggy79]

@@lawrencedavis2779 so the tournament that you're thinking of is the wrestling classic in 1985, it was Junkyard Dog against Randy Savage in the finals! And junkyard dog won by count-out. Macho man totally rocked in that tournament. He faced Steamboat in the Quarter Finals 👍

[@superrobz]

I still find it ironic how Vince didn’t think Savage could still go as a performer and wanted him to be behind a desk, and yet he went on to put on probably one of the best performances in the later part of his career

[@4GivenbyIam]

Ohhhhh yeaaaaaah brotheeeerrrrrr!!!!! I was born in 86 so I grew up in the greatest wrestling era!

[@nanobluelectrobuzz9227]

Macho Man's WCW career was entertaining overall. It just sucked that he could never pin Hogan ever, Hogan pinned him due to creative control.

[@simonstillborn4951]

Macho Man vs DDP, my favorite rivalry.

[@Cwright386]

And wwe didn't even out it on the rivalry DVD set of Network series. (They covered feuds from a bunch of promotions so it wasn't due to it being wcw) ddp vs Savage was the best head to head feud in 97 and it was probably the best rivalry between an NWO member and a wcw guy. Sting was the "leader" of wcw...but DDP carried wcw while sting wasn't wrestling

[@grimlifestudio9607]

I didn't even watch the video before clicking "like". First of all, it's Macho Man! And secondly, because it's one of the greatest wrestling KZbinrs out there!

[@as.mrevans1835]

You probably have the best KZbin channel.... Ever, keep them coming

[@miamimagicians]

No that would be Brian Zane wrestling with regret

[@DR.Barrit]

Naah OSW Review takes this one.

[@miamimagicians]

Randy Savage > John Cena And you all know it's true

[@nathj4818]

Cena would be lucky to make my top 100 greatest wrestlers of all time list let alone be anywhere near The Macho man's Talent

[@Kingslayer_au]

Oh man I've been waiting for this. Mach was one of the greatest entertainers in the WWF. Im hoping you do his WWE career next :)

[@Mes799]

Yes, I’m still waiting too. Surprised it hasn’t happened yet

[@thomasroedgaard117]

My alltime favorite. Legend!

[@spookerredmenace3950]

Randy and Brett were my favourite of that generation , then Brett, Shawn, Stone cold.. those 3 had amazing matches together!

[@Danimal77]

Bret****

[@manigje1]

Always will have a special place in my heart. He was campy, flamboyant, and colorful.

[@wawaelias8842]

Randy came to my 3 rd birthday party I have pictures of him in his belt carrying me , he was such a sweet and gentle person , I would’ve never known he had a crazy side to him he was such a gentle soul , he was nice and caring and to see videos of randy calling out hogan and triple H , I was like no waaaay !! I never thought he could be that type of person , but I guess never judge a book by its cover !!

[@danielmorley4667]

wawa Elias it is all just an act🙂

[@ryanhanna4463]

U dont deserve to have been anywhere near the Macho Man...

[@mikeconnors1599]

My favorite wrestler as a kid I actually meet him once in Niagara falls mall earlier in the day before a show greatest day as a kid growing up lol RIP

[@sportfuryman]

Truly one of the greatest of all time.

This man is putting in work.telling the stories that us old school wrestling fans want to kno more about. Great content bro .keep up the good work

[@hawkeyepierce67]

I guess i could write a small book about how much i enjoyed watching Macho back at the time. But since i'm not here to bore everybody to death with my ramblings, i'll gonna let it be and just say: "Rest in Peace Randy, you've always been my favorite... Ohhhh Yeah!!!!"

[@everett-tnredsfan]

Becoming one of my favorite KZbin channels. Growing up The Macho Man was my guy!

[@Cwright386]

For me, my favorite memories of macho Man are from his wcw run

[@darrylseamer4728]

His feud with DDP was great

[@rosemaryfarell5264]

Shows whst a pro Savage was. He personally wanted to work with DDP to get him over. He did the same with Crush in WWF but obviously crush was no DDP.

[@weezy5441]

Macho was 1 of the greatest hands down top 10 to me.

[@YTC1234]

All I see here is Savage getting buried over and over in favor of Hogan and Nash.

[@MarkPiggy79]

@deathflower Macho King Randy Savage vs Ultimate Warrior WrestleMania 7 should have been for the belt. I couldn't stand the fact that they put the belt on Sergeant Slaughter. He was an average mid card at best. And his match against Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 7 was rather terrible.

[@MarkPiggy79]

@deathflower Also on a side note. Hogan and Earthquake never had a proper feud blow off. I thought for sure wrestlemania 7 would have been the time for this. However Earthquake gets demoted and faces Greg Valentine 😂🤣👎

[@dadman9799]

Only get to watch 3 minutes now the rest will be later. But I’m going to go ahead and like it because you rock man!

Sting and the macho man were always amazing! At the 7:03 Mark you can see savage and page laughing it up as ddp tries to cover savages face from the cameras.

[@blackken1894]

Love your channel/videos you should do a video on the WWF career or macho man

[@jmckdekalb316]

I think Randy in WCW was a good move for him, cause the new generation era and him didn't mash together. plus the fact that you need new young talent in the game.

Savage left because Vince wanted him to stay as a commentator and not wrestle anymore. He thought savage was too old and he was going to start using the younger guys. Savage said it in an interview

[@superlex611]

Since he dropped the belt to Flair WWE was going into a different direction anyway
