Thought of the Day: You Know Who Else Was Really Good At Wrestlemania?
Yet he never gets the credit for it….Randy Savage. Let’s look at his Mania career.
Wrestlemania 2: retains the IC Title.
Wrestlemania 3: greatest match of all time.
Wrestlemania 4: wins the World Title.
Wrestlemania 5: main event, Hogan’s second best match ever
Wrestlemania 7: second biggest and by far best match on the card, Warrior’s best match ever
Wrestlemania 8: wins world title, match of the night
Why doesn’t Savage get credit for such a career at Wrestlemania? That’s a fine career, let alone just at Wrestlemania.
The early manias were headlines by hogan and carried by savage, by far the MVP of early manias
Macho Man is in my opinion the greatest wrestler there has ever been. Great on the mic, in the ring, and unrivaled charisma. It will be a long time until someone like him comes along again.
I hope when Triple H takes over full time he can be the one to Induct Macho Man and his Family into the HOF.
I agree with Mike that his Matches at 6 & 10 are very entertaining. The Mixed Tag is all kinds of fun and the Commentary with Gorilla & Jesse is so funny.
Even the lesser Savage appearances at Mania are still fun. It’s not a good match at 6 (the mixed tag with him and Sherri against Rhodes/Sapphire), but the crowd is into it and the commentary is hilarious, and Savage does his best as a good heel. His match against Crush at 10 isn’t anything to write home about (I think the stipulation kind of kills it), but I get a chill with his mega pop when he enters and it’s a perfectly satisfactory way to end his Mania career (i.e., not as a heel, not embroiled in a title fight, but in a modest feud as a good guy).
