I never get tired of watching Macho Man Promos!

[@discodesanti2459]

I love how Randy just glides in from the left... eyes FIXED ON THE VIDEOSCOPE.

[@drkaufman]

That's how I'm entering rooms from now on.

[@juice6941]

Why the hell can’t wrestling be this great again?😩

[@averagevotersmith3326]

Jesse Ventura gave awesome interviews and was a great commentator! Hillarious!

[@paulcamilleri182]

The best really!

[@joelsines7083]

The way macho enters the videoscope just kills me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣silently sliding in with the belt ahahaha also Jesse which was such a charismatic performer as well he kinda looks like the bridge between hogan and savage like a third place that emerges from their fusion man this was the best era for sure even better than wcw

[@TheArtofUTube]

Wow these two together were gold. Like two snakes in a pit.

[@JohnRRoe2]

I loved this a lot and still laugh!!! When, both Jesse and Macho Man called Tito "CHICO"!!!!

[@elchichosantana6410]

Only Jessie, the Slickster and Bruce Pitchard calling him Chico. I never heard Randy called him Chico. Its Tito Santana.

[@paulbrennan5646]

Taco Salesman from Tijuana!

[@direkramseychikboy9102]

Jessie and Macho Man blended so well. I cant get over with this promo. Covid-19 pandemic stress reliever. Thanks Randy and Jessie. WHAT A LOSER CHICO!

[@lorim2211]

jesse

[@duster71]

2 years later i was Vinces driver and meeting and driving for hours with all these guys especially these two ,my favs we were doobie bros

[@SurvivorPaul16]

As I was a boy of grade school age at that time. And I watched this with boys my own age, give or take 3 years. We got the impression that Billy Red Lyons was trying to be like the grand-father figure to us and to most of the fans our age.

[@alexkocsis1631]

Just amazing & hilarious I miss the old school promos this is how professional wrestling should have stayed

[@rlouie05]

When Macho was a face, Ventura always seemed to have a soft spot for him on commentary. Friendships apparently do overcome good vs evil dynamics.

[@elchichosantana6410]

Even on Rick Martel. During he teamed up with Chico. Jessie never made fun of Rick.

[@mrf19741]

GOD LORD, THIS IS 14K GOLD!

[@James8107]

Lmao! Macho Man was hilarious!

[@j7cc]

Classic American television entertainment. The "day" of wrestling. The Greats!!!

[@lanemeyer9350]

“Chico” Santana 🤣

[@TheRSTD1]

The cream always rises to the top!

[@kevinpalmer620]

Don'tcha dare miss it!

[@IWantYourThong]

great stuff.

[@acotbc]

What's funny is that the Toronto MLG match Jesse is referring to where he was "cheated" of the IC title took place the day after Tito lost it to Savage in Boston.

[@JazzyJeffRealTalk]

I was born nine months later lol

[@sweeptheleg.]

They both shop at the same sunglass store it appears. 😁

[@craigstrachan]

Remember watching this promo on CHCH TV in Hamilton when I was a kid .This was right after when Savage beat Tito Santana in Boston for the WWF Intercontinental Title and went on to reign for over a year before the classic matchup with "The Dragon " Ricky Steamboat at Wrestlemania 3 .Savage pretty much made that title .Too bad that they never did a title vs title match with him and Hogan . Now that would have been a matchup worth seeing . Too bad that their matchup at Wrestlemania 5 was only for the World Title which Savage held at the time and though it was a great match a matchup for both titles could have been a classic . They did 1 with Hogan and Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlemania 6 which Warrior won but they were looking to make him the next big thing but didn't pan out so he loses to Sgt. Slaughter at Royal Rumble (with help from Savage ) which in turn loses to Hogan at Wrestlemania '91 .Also on that show Savage loses to Warrior in a Loser Retires Match .Not to get off topic just think that a title vs title match between Hogan and Savage could have been epic .

[@thetruth72667]

craig strachan Finally someone see's it how I do! Shoulda been macho who pinned Hogan cleanly for the 1st time! He knew the business & was over big! He was even over big as a heel. The biggest face commentator Gorilla Monsoon even pointed it out when he came to the ring for mania 3 "listen to the ovation for macho Man" cause it was to loud to not comment on it. He deserved that run without Hogan having to be there every main event! I LOVE Warrior but it shoulda been Macho to pin him 1st.

[@craigstrachan]

@@thetruth72667 I agree that it should have been Hogan Vs Savage in a title vs title match at Mania . That match would have been an instant classic obviously Hogan was the BIG thing at the time and when he did finally lose it was to Andre The Giant in a WM3 rematch and we all know what happened . Think it was also that his wife at the time was pregnant with his daughter Brooke and he wanted time to be with her hence him losing the title , the the whole thing with Dibiase buying the the title from Andre then being stripped of it and the WM4 Tournament which saw Savage winning the title and holding it for a year then the match finally coming after the heel turn by Savage at WM5 which Hogan won .Savage would see another title reign until '92 against Ric Flair after Hogan was pulled out and had a match against Sid Justice . They did go to WCW and traded their World Title a few times but that title unification match if had it gone down would have been epic . Sorry it took so long to answer ya . Just noticed your comment today . Have a good 1 .

[@britneyspearsvillarosa]

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@damiendemento9852]

Chico Santana

[@Lava1964]

That's the ex-taco salesman, Chico Santana.

[@chosenone1746]

[@PsychomachineryEBM]

The flying jalapeño

[@elchichosantana6410]

Merced Solis allowed Jessie to call him Chico. It helped his career.

[@WarrenRCG]

[@elchichosantana6410]

Love him calling Tito Santana "Chico Santana"

[@kevindavis1281]

Jesse is off side on this one. If you notice, macho man does not take any bait. Even from his biggest supporter at the time...Jesse the body. I really like how Savage holds his own in this promo.

[@bilbobaggins4403]

[@davenantais9860]

i went to this match... the match ended when Tito put Savage in a figure 4 leglock and Savage submitted and lost.

[@brandonmurphy8837]

I always liked tito but he lost a lot

[@elchichosantana6410]

He was a jobber

[@SERBIAZ]

Randy has frizzy ends.

[@pepsiguy52883]

Chico Santana lol

[@amill1563]

Randy coming off like a straight up psycho motorcycle gang member.

[@marksolarz3756]

Jesse was ALWAYS.... Jesse. At no time....even in the AWA did he ever do the sudden good guy..or have to re invent himself. A Great Governor. A very reasonable and had been a mayor for years. YES...I used to listen to him on KSTP 1500. And he would talk serious politics and common sense. Told to run for Governor as a write in. Minnesota...... ELECTED him. Was very good. His character was based...at first on Superstar Billy Graham. Tie dye shirts...feather boa...sun glasses....and the biggest arms.....He would give a classic pose"! YEA! LOOK at that Deltoid! ..................... Interview OVER!"

[@BrotherDerrick3X]

Jesse Ventura said he never had seen such an ugly human being when talking about the Junkyard Dog. I would have told Jesse to look in the mirror if he wanted to see an ugly human being. But that would give the impression that Jesse is a human being.

[@BrotherDerrick3X]

@James Williams Jesse "the Nobody" Ventura.
