savage is the ted nugent of wrestling.can run off some crazy stuff off the top of his head.these old matches are great and show how different federations mattered.yes this includes wwf/wwe but in this time period it was just one of many not the only one.the different federations gave rick flair and all the other greats a better legacy.they wrestled all over earned what they got,not just one or two companys saying how great you are(mainly wwe),they went around and proved it.
Whenever I saw Lawler & Savage together, I had the feeling that Savage would return to his Macho King persona and fight Lawler for the right to be called King.
They should have had a heel version of one of those angles in USWA where Savage went totally nuts like when Jake Roberts slapped Elizabeth or when Flair kissed her. Maybe have Savage start off helping Lawler against Gonzales & a big misunderstanding happening between them.
This promo was beyond hilarious, and if I lived in Memphis at the time, I'd be racing to the box office to see this match. This was GROUNDBREAKING stuff.
Randy Savage is probably the most underrated entertainer of all time. How Hulk Hogan became such a mainstream celebrity and Savage didn't, I'll never understand. No wrestler had the entertainment ability of Savage.
I think it's because McMahon hates him and rarely mentions him, but he was one of the main draws for house shows in the 80s and early 90s, because Hogan only worked shows like Saturday Night's (and THE) Main Event and PPVs. I went to several house shows back then and never saw Hogan once. Savage was always in the Main Event. He just seems unappreciated because of WWE's cold shoulder, but he was a household name along with Andre, Sheik, Andre and Hogan. Regular people don't underrate him.
I'm starting to think that Michael Keaton's portrayal of Beetlejuice was inspired by this interview.

@kmg4 I agree totally. Savage had real charisma, Hogan's was manufactured by Vince.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
This was stupid.Savage was fueding with Lawler in the USWA and at the same time doing commentary with him on WWF TV.HUH?

This is because people in Memphis did not have access to Cable TV technology in 1993.
They did not know that Monday Night RAW existed, where Savage, Lawler, and Vince were doing commentary as a trio.

It's only a wrestling promo. Savage was just being a heel. And he was always great at it.
