Randy Savage was one of the biggest WWF superstars during the 80's, but by the 90's Vince McMahon wanted to put him out the pasture. So the Macho Man took the madness to WCW, where he tore things up for the rest of the decade. Savage had great feuds with the likes of DDP and Ric Flair, and who can forget Gorgeous George and Team Madness. In this wrestling documentary we look at the Macho Man Randy Savage in WCW.

Might have been more memorable if Hogan's massive ego hadn't killed every one of his world title runs.

I don't think Macho's WCW run is forgotten at all. Unfortunately, though, it could and should have flourished much more than it did. If Savage had just one definitive World Title run that wasn't muddied by Hogan or the nWo, it would have helped him a lot. As it happened, though, he still had a fantastic run, with great matches against Flair, DDP and others.

@17thN.O 6 месяцев назад

I actually loved Macho Man's time in WCW. I used tonwatch him every week in WCW and still watch videos of him now. I was always a fan of Macho over Hulk Hogan (who I never liked) going back to the WWF in the 80's. (RIP Macho Man Randy Savage)

@austinsavage 6 месяцев назад

Same here. My first exposure to Macho was via WCW; i was too young for his WWF run. And even though as a kid i knew Hogan was the biggest wrestling star in the world, something about him just seemed phony and i just gravitated more towards Savage’s intensity and charisma

@LightFromADeadStar 6 месяцев назад

Not true. Hogan making wrestling a mainstream entertainment made the careers of hundreds. It was niche before Hogan and would have remained niche without him

@perceivedvelocity9914 5 месяцев назад

Hahaha. You know nothing about wrestling. People bought tickets and ordered pay per views because of Hogan. The other wrestlers got paid because Hulk was there. Watch a shoot interview with any of the mid card guys and that's what they will say about him. Only a handful of top guys hated Hulk. They were jealous and wanted his spot at the top of the mountain.

Forgotten? I can't be the only person who never saw Randy in WWF and only saw him on WCW. I remember seeing Slim Jim commercials for WWF Randy, but I wasn't allowed to watch wrestling at that time. Until I got back into wrestling a year ago, I didn't realize really how short of his career I actually witnessed.

I'd argue Macho joining the nWo made sense for one huge reason: Elizabeth. He wanted back with her, so he joined the nWo to get back with her.

@andrewstrom8157 6 месяцев назад

Also, I think he realized that being a member of the group allowed him to be as unhinged and rebellious as he wanted to be. Savage in the nWo is my favorite version of him and gave us that great feud with DDP.

Randy Savage is so great, he reinvented himself multiple times and still worked it. Also, the fact that he still was able to work with Miss Elizabeth after their divorce shows how professional he was. Lastly, I love how almost every youtuber tells how shitty Hulk Hogan was and tarnishes his legacy, a deserving fate for a man who buried so many talents to put himself over.

WCW might not ever have gone out of business if Hogan would simply have allowed Savage to pin him clean a couple of times.. This would have made their feud legit, hence making that later year and a half of WCW far more interesting..
