Try 3 years you won't regret it. I Recommend backwards randy!
"Don't buy any un-ripe bananas because you won't live to eat them" is probably one of the most cool and random things I think I've ever heard him say in a promo. There's so much to unpack there.

As a child I pretty much exclusively watched WWF for the promos. The matches were OK but the shit talking was what I was there for.
The Macho Man wasn’t just on the wavelength spectrum, he crossed astral planes with consummate ease as well 😉
He was so good he managed to keep the take going with a plane flying overhead and worked the plane noise into the promo....brilliant

Randy Pollo's wiki entry deleted all of his freakishly superior athletic capabilities. For instance, he did 6,033 consecutive sit-ups on the deck of a Navy ship. There's one about how fast he could consistently throw a softball. Pull-ups, push-ups.YEAH!!!! I believe they were World Records in some categories. Disappointing and disrespectful that the current revision on his lifre excludes this unique aspect of the Macho Man's life.

Angelo Pollo, Randy Pollo's father is actually the person who set the world record for sit-ups on the deck of a Navy ship.( This is why the wikipedia entry was revised). Easy to find out. The Macho Man, his son, at one point held the world record for fast-pitch softball and pull-ups.

I saw an interview where Mean Gene said he didn't rehearse Macho Man's promos with him because it made them better when he had no idea what Macho Man would say. I wonder just how many times he had to break his mind from going, "what the hell is he even talking about?" To get back to his next line or question 😂😂😂 RIP to the Two Legends
Everything he says is cool and I could listen to him all day lol....
There's a special kind of excitement that is generated when watching a WWF Macho Man promo. It takes place between when Mean Gene starts breaking down the card and right before Randy Savage walks into view of the camera. I can only describe it as Macho Madness.
Yep, dont buy any unripe bananas....killed me! I'm dead, The Macho Man is always hilarious, but that one, dead! I can watch Macho Man promos all day...RIP Macho

Love his promos and I can't get tired of watching him do the elbow drops
I really miss the 80s promos love them
Hey you there I thank you from the bottom of my heart for these videos. We never got to see these in our childhood as in India wwf was not aired until ESPN one day decided to show it live. We only got to see the good old ones on vhs that some one would bring from the middle East but it never had these promos of the Macho Madness. Cream of the crop Yeaaaah. I wish I could meet him

Randy was the greatest showman of them all. I can still wipe a tear away thinking of the great man.

Macho Man & Mean Gene gave the best promos.
"You know what wave length I'm on..." We do, Randy, but we need LSD to be on it.
November the 7Th is my birthday and Macho Man vs Honky Tonk Man is one of my all time favorite rivalries. Add in the fact that I’ve seen the Macho Man Randy Savage wrestle in my hometown of Valparaiso, Indiana and I’d say everything else I’ve accomplished in my life is gravy. And there’s a whole lot of gravy, Yeah!
The most impressive part is being on so much cocaine but being able to end the interview. He just walks off, amazing
