WCW Blunder - Randy Savage & Team Madness

[@michaelreich4827]

Being with 1999's Gorgeous George would be like riding a bull: a miracle if I lasted 8 seconds.

[@Thor-Orion]

Stacked. She had been an exotic dancer like Sable had been, just putting that out there.

[@rtarcher812]

I think the idea of a heel employing a Charlie’s Angels like trio of capable femme fatales is kind of a neat concept. Baby faces would be more reluctant to retaliate, and it’s easy heat for the heel. But if something has potential, ‘99 WCW will flush it.

[@DLRX]

3:50 Indeed, I hated that documentary. Macho wasn't perfect but there are far worse individuals in the world of wrestling. Randy was an icon who died without getting the recognition he truly deserved (he was only put in the Hall of Fame after he died).

[@antejovic8827]

Barring that one time appearance in early TNA, Macho, like many of his peers never got the opportunity to end his career on a high note. Went out with a whimper, poetic I guess seeing how WCW ended

[@jetblack99]

What's really frustrating is that Savage could have been used much more effectively to help boost WCW. He was still way over, he could still cut an engaging promo. Give him a protegee to manage. Make him the leader of a stable. Hell, put him in a tag team with a younger guy to do most of the work in the ring. It was idiotic that hey kept booking him in high-profile one-on-one matches that were destined to suck because he just didn't have the tools anymore. What a colossal waste of time and money.

[@thomasstewart-tm2ts]

Macho man randy savage has and will be my all time favorite wrestler. I loved him as a kid but god did i go to really appreciate him even more as a adult looking back in retrospect.

[@justafanofnerdculture7602]

The Macho Man also returned with a brand new physique in '99, too.

[@jbanks979]

I think this is the exact moment that WCW went completely off the rails in 99. For as terrible as the NWO elite vs. b team was as a storyline, it basically dragged them through status quo through spring stampede. A lot of top performers got hurt………..and they just had almost no idea what to do next. So every week you have another deeply passed their prime main eventer seemingly changing faction loyalty at random, and none of it ultimately even appeared to be building towards anything. Names on the card not involved with these MAIN EVENT matches: Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho ……

Well it made no sense with him going out of his way to help DDP, the one he had a bitter feud with recently, but he then turned into the best heel in the company only to be buried (again) by Hogan. Savage should've had a heel run with the belt as opposed to being a transition champion to set up a Hogan-Nash match.

[@retepoteil]

How about WWF Letdown

[@millerman8720]

Idea for the WWF version of blunder. “ WWF LETDOWN”

[@LostChrisB]

I think there was three points as to why Savage lost the title so fast. The first is Hogan, he could have been completely innocent and simply been told he was getting the belt on the Monday when he turned up because of points two and three, but everyone knows not to trust Hogan, the man was me first and screw everyone when their not looking and he could have come in, said that ratings were down and he was taking the belt and that was it. The second is the painful truth, rewatching bits of Randy’s matches on reliving the war you can’t miss that he simply couldn’t go anymore, what Vince had jumped the gun on years earlier was now the painful truth, Savage had the mic skills, the look and could punch like a boss, but he couldn’t handle a proper match anymore. You speculate Randy was compensating with team madness, and he was, they were there to help build out his matches, three hot blondes who could perform moves and take bumps and help distract the competition, the ref and the crowds. The tag match for the world title definitely implies that the wcw office had finally caught up as it let Sid and Sting take up more of the match and cover for Randy. The third point is the slap to Torrie. There was no getting around that Randy assaulted a woman on national television, I love the man but there was no escaping that he slapped a woman live in front of the world and it wasn’t a planned spot or storyline and I can’t see Turner/WCW execs and others not calling for his head. They gave him his main event and the belt, but I bet the pressure on Bischoff would have been from all corners and the hitting the emergency Hogan button makes all the sense in the world.

Liz is an icon but I will always adore Gorgeous George, she had the looks for sure but showed potential all around. She ended up dating Jerry Only from the Misfits... And he is now dating Alissa White-Gluz who is like 25 years younger than him. Alissa is goegeous herself. Not sure what George has done since.

I know this will be hard to believe, but Macho man was hinting at in his final promo without saying his name that he wanted to pass the torch to guys like Stone Cold Steve Austin and RVD People who he saw as believable in the ring but since he couldn't mention these guys name nor was going back to wwf at that time, his message was nothing more then a coded message for his fans.

[@justinalexander6462]

episode 10 should be the entire year of 2000 in WCW, i mean to really go out with a BANG, seeing as episode 10 is the last of the series and seeing as 2000 was the last full year for the company and to put into perspective just how a year even two yrs ago (jan 98 - jan 2000) things and times had changed for the worst for the company.
