I like the fact he made no excuses for not making it to the big show in MLB. Most athletes egos are so great that they'll make any excuse or blame others for their failures. Randy showed in the interview he was a man of character when explaining his departure from the game, even detailing his disappointment and anger when it was the end of the road for him, which did not paint him in the best light, but it was honest.

Macho Man Randy Savage was everything Hulk Hogan wasn't and everything he was and then some. He was a better wrestler, better promo guy, a better entrance song, Elizabeth was awesome and just a better human being. It's a shame that Hulk Hogan stopped Macho's title pushes so many times it's sick. But Randy still got over. He's definitely one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. RIP Macho Man Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth.

@@ranker2020 I think you meant to reply to me, if you did I’ll just say this, you’re not wrong. Those are facts, Hogan did kill many pushes. That said, Randy’s psychotic behavior backstage and on the road, not to mention his size, kept Randy from being able to politic back at Hogan. If he was bigger, didn’t try to stab ppl in waffle houses, not to mention the rumors about Steph, he could’ve pushed back against Hogans bullshit.
@ranker2020
Жыл бұрын
@@KelticTim yes that's true. But my point is Hogan stalled several pushes that Randy Savage should've been champion. So that hurt his legacy besides all the happy hoopla outside of the ring. But to be quite honest with you Stephanie McMahon was so hot back then I don't blame him for asking her out. She was over 18 so it wasn't against the law or anything like that. And his size being an issue he was before his time. High flying acrobatics wasn't popular until the Shawn Michaels/Bret Heart era. So as far as I'm concerned he's one of the greatest of all time and sorely underrated.

Well, for wrestling 'athletic prime' might be close to 50. For real sports, which Randy was part of on a professional level, your prime means you lose a step you're done, and that usually happens to people as they get closer to 30. Those you are smart and lucky enough to treat their bodies well or escape injury might push it closer to 40. So Randy was definitely near or past his prime here.

I met Macho Man in a strip club in Hartford, Connecticut in June 1996 after a WCW event at the Hartford Civic Center. I had just walked in when to my right, I heard a shot glass slam the bar & that unmistakable voice say "ooooooh yeah, gimmie another one!" Looked over & there he was by himself. I went over, put my hand out & said 'Macho Man! Nice to meet you.' He damn near crushed every bone in my hand with the hand shake & said "you too, little man, you too." The Nasty Boys & Hacksaw Jim Duggan were also there that night.

This is wonderful ♥️👍 Have never seen him sit down and just be himself on camera. This is a precious interview. He certainly was a legend..He played with my team, the Reds♥️👍 Back in 1997 my co-worker/friend and I were at a conference in Charleston WV & WWE stars were staying at same hotel. I wasn't wrestling fan but my kids and husband were so I knew who Randy and Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan was. We saw Randy, Ric and many other stars in the lobby, the mall, just hanging out with each other. When we were checking out there's Randy standing right next to me. Thought I'd die. The girl at the desk asked him if she should call him Mr. Macho or Mr Savage. He smiled and said, "Randy will be fine". Then he gave my friend and me a nice smile and we saw those lovely blue eyes. He was speaking softly and very down to earth. I was speechless.There was a little boy about 10 standing off to the side with his dad just looking at Randy with such awesome. You could tell he was nervous. Randy looks over and smiles at the boy and motions for him to come over. He talked to him and signed whatever he had. I so wish now I would have asked for his autograph but I was too shy. There were no cell phone cameras back then. The night before we had been waiting for an elevator and he and a couple other wrestlers were waiting for the one headed to the penthouse suites. A couple of women came over to them and made it clear they wanted to party. The other two wrestlers ignored them but Randy said "no Miss Elizabeth wouldn't like that" and got in the elevator. I liked that. Even though at the time they were already divorced sadly. I would have liked to seen her in person cause she was gorgeous on TV and I liked them together. Can't believe they're both gone. 💔 I love this interview. This is the Randy we saw in person all those years ago.

Like many fans I was curious what Randy really sounded like when he was not doing his Macho Man routine. I saw an interview with Lanny saying once he became the Macho Man he fully dove into the character, voice and all. With this video we can hear some of the real Randy Poffo with a little bit of what was to become the huge MM character.

From what I witnessed, before his run in Memphis, he didn't really fully get into the Macho man mode yet, he was just Randy Poffo as " Macho Man Savage." It's just when he left his father promotion to Memphis where he fully developed the intensity and finally became known as the Macho man Randy Savage as we know later in his career.

But to be quite honest with you Stephanie McMahon was so hot back then I don't blame him for asking her out. She was over 18 so it wasn't against the law or anything like that. And his size being an issue he was before his time. High flying acrobatics wasn't popular until the Shawn Michaels/Bret Heart era. So as far as I'm concerned he's one of the greatest of all time and sorely underrated.

Well, for wrestling 'athletic prime' might be close to 50. For real sports, which Randy was part of on a professional level, your prime means you lose a step you're done, and that usually happens to people as they get closer to 30. Those you are smart and lucky enough to treat their bodies well or escape injury might push it closer to 40. So Randy was definitely near or past his prime here.

This is wonderful ♥️👍 Have never seen him sit down and just be himself on camera. This is a precious interview. He certainly was a legend..He played with my team, the Reds♥️👍 Back in 1997 my co-worker/friend and I were at a conference in Charleston WV & WWE stars were staying at same hotel. I wasn't wrestling fan but my kids and husband were so I knew who Randy and Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan was. We saw Randy, Ric and many other stars in the lobby, the mall, just hanging out with each other. When we were checking out there's Randy standing right next to me. Thought I'd die. The girl at the desk asked him if she should call him Mr. Macho or Mr Savage. He smiled and said, "Randy will be fine". Then he gave my friend and me a nice smile and we saw those lovely blue eyes. He was speaking softly and very down to earth. I was speechless.There was a little boy about 10 standing off to the side with his dad just looking at Randy with such awesome. You could tell he was nervous. Randy looks over and smiles at the boy and motions for him to come over. He talked to him and signed whatever he had. I so wish now I would have asked for his autograph but I was too shy. There were no cell phone cameras back then. The night before we had been waiting for an elevator and he and a couple other wrestlers were waiting for the one headed to the penthouse suites. A couple of women came over to them and made it clear they wanted to party. The other two wrestlers ignored them but Randy said "no Miss Elizabeth wouldn't like that" and got in the elevator. I liked that. Even though at the time they were already divorced sadly. I would have liked to seen her in person cause she was gorgeous on TV and I liked them together. Can't believe they're both gone. 💔 I love this interview. This is the Randy we saw in person all those years ago.

Macho Man never left the ICW, he just kept accepting challenges. 😆
Bruh! He was always the same! I would love to see how he was as a kid. Imagine an 8 year old with this energy. LOL. One of the absolute GOATs

This is definitely by far the most chill you'll ever see Randy. And the whole story he said is 100% true. And once Randy got into the WWE and he was into wrestling big time.

For real 😂
What an incredible fighter he was in every sense, charisma, microphone, wrestling ability, one of my childhood idols.
Macho Man is a total vibe 24/7
What a great rare find this is, thanks for posting the whole thing. It's wild to see a younger version of what he became later when he could do extended interviews like this perfectly. But already here he was great and entertaining with improv answers and that intensity and living the persona is clear.

Like many fans I was curious what Randy really sounded like when he was not doing his Macho Man routine. I saw an interview with Lanny saying once he became the Macho Man he fully dove into the character, voice and all. With this video we can hear some of the real Randy Poffo with a little bit of what was to become the huge MM character.

From what I witnessed, before his run in Memphis, he didn't really fully get into the Macho man mode yet, he was just Randy Poffo as " Macho Man Savage." It's just when he left his father promotion to Memphis where he fully developed the intensity and finally became known as the Macho man Randy Savage as we know later in his career.

@@gillies9 Yup, the voice sounds the same to me, just way toned down, talking like a normal person. When he gets a lil amped or puts any emotion into what he's saying, you hear the Macho Man that most of us came to know. This is a really cool upload.

I think his character is just an exaggerated version of his real personality. If you watch his hand gestures and listen to his voice you can hear and see the seeds of his persona.

He is not out of character. His character is at the beginning stages here.
You gotta love the Macho Man. RIP to one of the best wrestlers ever
Just talking he was more entertaining than 99% of current wrestlers
He was my favorite pro wrestler of all time. He made you feel so many different kinds of emotions. I cherish the memories I have as a child, watching wrestling and being absolutely spellbound by the Macho Man. I had the hat and sunglasses and everything! 😂
Still had that voice, even back then.
I remember this era, seeing him, his bro Laney and his dad (the miser) in the early 80s
Arguably the greatest wrestler of all time
What a fantastic piece of professional wrestling history! I have the utmost respect for Randy, and his dedication and brilliance really shine in this interview.
Fantastic never seen this randy
This is a rare jewel of a find. To see Macho Man before he became MACHO MAN!!! OOOOOOOOO YEAH!!! RIP 🙏🏿❤️
I f'n loved Randy Savage as a kid....and Sting! And the Ultimate Warrior. And the Road Warriors!...and Rick Flair!...okay, I'll shutup.
I feel privileged to have heard this interview, Randy Savage what a class act.
Allot of people were all about Hulk but I was always a Macho Man fan. I liked his energy in the ring
I second the comment the guy said we need a mancho man movie. He is possibly the most entertaining pro wrestler in history and has a crazy, interesting story. Rip to the legend mancho man randy savage!
Macho man's calm voice is so cool.
ICW was my gateway into pro wrestling. I started watching when I was 8 years old, and here in 2022, I'm still watching it. Even then, you could see that Savage was, talent and persona wise, head and shoulders over everybody else. Absolute legend.
