the other day I was flipping through the channels on tv and I saw John Cena on "Fred 2" (or whatever the hell that movie was called) That about sums up what wrestling has come to.
I just realized. Wearing that phony-looking crown and the gold warm-up suit, Macho King looked like a cross between the Burger King and a fugitive from the Studio 54 disco set.
@rang3pur3534 It just goes to show that even if it looked a lot less realistic than nowadays, the wrestlers from this era commanded a lot more respect than current wrestlers. Deservedly so imo!
This is back when the IC Champ was the best wrestler in the business. Stayed that was clear up until the mid-90's. Owen Hart was the last great IC Champ. Savage, Piper, both Harts, Perfect, HBK, Kerry Von Erich, Rude, Hall.
@TheSWFuniverse but he was an Intercontinental Champion which had the better wrestlers and better matches. people like Macho Man, Bret Hart were the true workers in the game.
I JUST FOUND OUT THERE'S FINALLY GOING TO BE A ACTION FIGURE OF THE MACHO MAN FROM JAKKS PACIFIC THANKS TO SAN DIEGO COMIC CON.....IT'S BEEN LONG OVER DUE.....
This is a premium-quality match-up - Savage and Piper - a long-running program/feud with these 2 would have been great, as they both had great in-ring psychology and despite Piper's rep as merely a brawler, he was actually quite skilled in the ring too, but WWF writers never really let him show that - he could have had great matches with Savage - too bad it never really materialized.
Savage is my 3rd all time favorite wrestler. This is actually one of my favorite Piper matches. Savages matches in WWF or WCW were always exciting he would excel in any era of wrestling.
great pro wrestlers, though ironically I doubt either could do any actual greco-roman wrestling. They don't have entertainers like this in WWE. Too bad these two didn't take care of themselves and now their life style has caught up with them.
@reedeema is that because of the gimmicks ? because the wwf superstars could connect with the audience ? beter storylines or what ? but i think that the athlets of today are much more athletic
@y2taner well its just so lame today ... sure ther more athletic today but boring as charackters .... hardly any mic skills . the problem is as far as i know ... that ther are no more teretories for them the grow ... most of them come straight out of wrestling school with hardly any expirience .... oh jeaa and the pg era sucks balls anyway lol
This was taped the night after the Royal Rumble, in which these two went at it pretty heavy for quite a few minutes so I wonder if they were thinking of building up a feud between these two? Obviously we know now the answer was no but just think what might have been
oooooooooooooh yeah im still waitin for that Macho Man and Macho King figures from jakks too those would be sweet for my collection comon Vince grow up and reconcile with the guy..did alot for your company
Piper is one of my favorite all time wrestlers, he was a master at ring psychology. Sherri Martel was really an attractive, talented woman. I'm sorry she's gone.
No he doesn't he is just spreading a rumor without knowing facts about the fact that macho stole Slim Jim from the WWF when he went to WCW stealing money from Vince that was the heat of the beef cause no other wrestler stole endorsments from him. If this "rumor" was true then Macho would have been in jail gone to court, it would have been a media spectale stop spreading bogus ass rumors and read the facts regarding slim jim.
Then why isn;'t he in jail? or went to court? this is BS., Meltzer has been known to be wrong as well. Can you link which audio convo this was and were we can find it?
totally agree with you!! wwe needs to make a macho man dvd two disc set and allow him into the hall of fame!! what is the hatred that vince has for savage? he wont allow jakks to make figures of him and even stops thq from putting him in the upcomming legends of wrestlemania game!! yet warrior is in and they make toys of him and there is clearly distain between warrior and vince so what did savage do to vince to piss him off so much?
Apparently McMahon is still pissed at Savage for leaving WWF (mid 90's) They had a verbal agreement regarding Savage re-signing with Vince. Savage was offered big money and peaced out. Much like Lex Luger, Savage won't be over the McMahon house for Dinner anytime soon. Savage was my all-time Favorite and like you, I'm Pissed at WWE for being babies...let Savage make money for your company one more time!
Actually, Savage left on really good terms, which is what makes this whole thing so mysterious. He wanted to continue to wrestle, McMahon saw his in ring career as being over or very limited. They agreed to let him go and gave him a nice little sendoff on the Raw after he left, instead of ignoring his existence like they always did back then.
One rumor was that after Savage left...it was revealed or leaked out that Savage had a relationship with a 15 or 16 year old girl...Stephanie McMahon. Savage has never confirmed...nor denied it.
Stupid ass internet rumor that won't die about savage and stephanie by a bunch os sick fucks. The truth behind savage is that he stole the slim jim advertisements when he went to WCW away from WWF. At the time WWF were loosing money and he took a large bite of there revenue source. THIS IS WHY there is heat between them because no other wrester stole advertisements. Get the fuckin facts straight.. If he did do that to steph he would be in jail or in court etc.. poeple have no morals now a days.
A little lesson on economics. McMahon was and is a billionaire (Big Money). Savage is a millionaire (small money). When small money angers Big Money, small money disappears! Get it! Savage does, that's why it would never have happened.
lol only piper could get away with that doing that to a woman aha

Ever since WCW was sold to WWE wrestling has gone down the drain. Today is just about Cena, Cena and Cena nobody else.
TNA might never be in the same level WCW was. The only difference is that WCW had a Ted Turner and TNA doesnt.
If you notice at every RAW the first 15-20 minutes is just blah blah blah, match 5 minutes and then another 15 minutes of more blah.
But this match I wonder why Vince never had a major story line between Savage and Piper.
