Macho was much better in the ring than Flair. Flair was a good bump taker but he was nothing special when it came to offense.I Think his in ring work was slightly better than Flairs tbh, but Flair certainly has him beat on the mic. They both had some pretty epic feuds. Flair is still my all time greatest. I could definitely see how someone could make the case for Macho. He was top tier.
Even though Savage was just coming out of ICW at the time, just the thought of the combined charisma of him and Lawler in 83 must be insane.I had a VHS tape (still have it actually) with a match between Lawler and him in '83. Their work together was art in terms of wrestling. I always think about how cool that must have been pre-internet and just regaling people with what you saw. My parents used to describe Haystack Calhoun to me as a kid and I couldn't wrap my head around it. I agree with you on this take.
You know what it was for me? Kayfabe. I heard tales of Macho man showing up to fight guys in other territories and one I remember he had a revolver or something. The internet took the Kayfabe out of it all I think.Even though Savage was just coming out of ICW at the time, just the thought of the combined charisma of him and Lawler in 83 must be insane.
I truly miss the days when Wrestlers were larger than life insane people who probably couldnt do any other job or end up in jail or in an asylum hahaha.
Nowadays Wrestling is like basically the opposite and you have to really have your shit together to be a top guy.
Well guys lived their gimmick. Made a huge difference in everythingYou know what it was for me? Kayfabe. I heard tales of Macho man showing up to fight guys in other territories and one I remember he had a revolver or something. The internet took the Kayfabe out of it all I think.
I haven't cared about the currently crop of wrestlers since late 90's for that reason. We know too much now.Well guys lived their gimmick. Made a huge difference in everything
He really wanted to do something with Shawn and they werent havin it.Sucked he always had to play 2nd fiddle to Hogan.
Then stuck on commentary
A main event feud with Bret or even HBK would've been $

Wrestling might be fake, but the Macho Man isnt. All the best wrestlers are like that.I am not as big of a pro wrestling fan as others on here. But this is why Savage was so great to me at least, he had the personality and the complete wrestling package to accommodate it. Such a rare commodity in any era, and he had it down

Macho could hang with anyone on the mic
If there was ever a more appropriate time to post this...- Take that back, bitch!
