The Best Promo Guy Wrestling has ever seen

In the 80's, Randy "Macho Man" Savage was one of the best and most entertaining stars wrestling had ever seen.  At a time when you legends like Andre the Giant, The Iron Shiek, The Hart Foundation and Hulk Hogan in his prime, owned the ring and the mic, the Macho Man was very rarely overshadowed with his over the top hype, and his underated performance in the ring. My memories of Macho Man in the ring sort of blend into one continuous match because other than the Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat saga, and the Mega Powers stuff with the Hulkster, his MO was wrestle, wrestle, flying elbow, 1,2,3..it's over.  Miss Elizabeth looking hot, standing on the sideline cheering, that was you typical Macho Man match.  My memories of the Macho Man was his promo.  those little interviews they would do before the matches to sort of drive the story along.  He was the king of those hands down.  These days, in my opinion there is no one better than The Rock, all time, but before The Rock, there was Macho Madness. There's something to be said about a man's performance when he's been off my radar for years now,  but somehow I will miss his antics. Here are some of his greatest promos in honor of Randy "Macho Man" Savage.

He is the Cream of the Crop








Even as a chauvanist, he's awesome.
