Congrats Stevie Ray and your bro Booker T for being inducted into the WWE HOF.
I met Randy at Powerhouse Gym in Garden City Michigan a few times in 92’ & 93’. He actually remembered me when he saw me from the first time I said “Hey, don’t I know you”? He replied in his voice “not me, brother”. I said “ok, let me know if ya need a spot”. Spotted him on incline. Talked to him for a bit. He told me they were doing a show at the palace. Hell of a nice guy. From that point on, he talked to me every time we saw each other. Me. Just a big dumb kid at the time...I’ll never forget him.

I worked for Ric Flair at Gold's Gym back in the mid 90s. Savage and Paul Orndorff came in one day and helped train one of my personal friends that day. He was a former University of Iowa LB and knew a lot of NFL players but he marked out for the free training from those two. They were both super nice.

But everyone claims it Macho Man was paranoid a-hole in real life. Ric Flair stated it, Roddy Piper, and King Kong Bundy. Liz had to divorce with him in 1992. And it went downhill from that. Also Randy Savage wanted a threesome with Gorgeous George underaged sister. I never knew why Macho Man got hyped after his death, guy was a real douche weirdo in real life.

@@Valentinaz87 Randy Savage put over more people as a top guy than anyone else during his time. Specifically Hogan and Flair. Savage is one of the greatest in ring performers of all time, arguably the greatest promo of all time and one of the more selfless main eventers in the industry. You using the words of a pornstar crackhead trashing him after his death is pathetic. You’re a douche and a weirdo - and also a herb.

You gotta appreciate how Stevie Ray just knows how to tell a story and paint the picture and take you there.
this is one of the GOATs speaking right here. this kind of insight you will never get unless you talk to someone like him. they were very looked up by me, being a black kid from the hood. i remember when they won the titles in WCW. i cheered like crazy. this is why i hold Booker T in high regard. Especially during the King Booker days. Him and Stevie Ray were on my TV, making history. it was dope. I loved Ric Flair, Savage and Goldberg. Watched every Goldberg match that created his streak. That's how much i watched Monday Nitro back in the days. guys like these will never be duplicated. That era can't be redone. It was a special time back then. The 90's were special. Everybody try to recreate it but they can't. Guys like Stevie Ray are what they are: legends of their craft.

Sounds like mutual respect and a bit of a union existed between Harlem Heat and Savage. Try to imagine a stable with Randy Savage taking over nWo black and white by beating Hogan, Harlem Heat as his enforcers with the Tag Titles and Curt Hennig with the US title. TELL me that stable wouldn't have had some ability to draw if the angles and story was done well.

I worked with Macho man.. atleast that's what I'm gonna tell everybody. I got bussed into paramount studios as an Extra to be in the crowd at Sam Raimis Spiderman movie. It ended up being the fight arena with Macho man( bonesaw) vs Spiderman before he was spiderman. Numerous times the director had to calm Macho madness down, because he was over staging Toby Mcgwire. It was a pretty neat experience. Sometimes I play the seven degrees of Kevin Bacon using myself. 🤪
