I think that Randy Savage at his peak, was the Greatest Pro Wrstler of all time taking into consideration ability, athleticism, presentation, promos, timing, and presence....

I can see Randy Savage vs. Jimmy Garvin, with Elizabeth vs. Precious catfights.

What’s awesome is savage never picked any of his names. Macho man was coined by his baseball teammates for how he acted aggressively on the field, savage was from ole Anderson and randy was from his parents. God bless him though, the most underrated wrestler ever for what he meant to the business and how fucking little the wwe pays attention tribute to him. They give so much to flair and we all know wHHHY that is

Savage was tailor made for The WWF and he came along at just the right time.In 1988/89 The Macho Man was on a par with Hogan.He was a huge Star.

Randy was the fastest wrestler I've ever seen. He would sprint to the ring, slide in, jump over the top rope, land on the floor and slide back in the ring before someone like Hulk Hogan could walk up the stairs.

Macho man randy savage would had been a star ⭐️ in the NWA

If Savage even Miss Elizabeth both jumped to NWA you may expect a nasty rivalry with Ric Flair and The Four Horsemen.

I remember watching a promo on Randy going to the Mid South but dont remember ever seeing him on the show

Randy planned some matches. Bret hart said that he and randy had excellent matches with no planning beforehand. Bret has great respect for randy. Good enough for me.

It would have a Randy Savage-Magnum TA feud.

Had Randy went to Crockett, he would have done well but not as well as his legendary WWF run. His work, charisma and intensity would have fit well in the music video era of 80’s Mid South or Crockett. If you watch Crockett Promotions TV from 84-85, you will notice them going in a more sports entertainment direction with the production and music videos as they started expanding into places like Chicago, Philadelphia and Los Angeles. Randy would have been huge no matter where he went because he was a once in a lifetime talent.

Randy's meticulous match prep wouldn't have worked in the traveling NWA champion role. You had to be flexible, like Race, Flair, Brisco, and Funk- to make whichever top babyface you were putting over look good, whether brawler, technician, green or veteran.

I use to watch Wrestling in the 70's. Thursday nights at the Norfolk Scope. Mid-Atlantic area of the NWA. If Wahoo or Ric Flair were not on the card it was held in the Scope Exhibition Center One such night I saw a tag team make their area debut. One guy was muscularly built but not very big. He had jean shorts on. The other was even smaller, but was a supposed high flyer. He botched hims ring entrance flip and from then on they were laughed out of the building. They were really a bad team over all. The Poffo Brothers. "Leaping" Lanny & Randy Poffo...so Macho man was in the NWA LOL!!

Savage would have been a good NWA Champion.

You have good taste my friend.....Oooooooooooh Yeah!

Randy Savage did technically work for the NWA. Since he worked for CWA in 1984 after ICW folded, and since at that time CWA was still a member of the NWA (they would be until 1986), Savage worked in NWA technically. I know the AWA title was also defended in Memphis, but the CWA was still part of the Alliance until 1986. And I'm betting that the question probably pertained to Jim Crockett Promotions, rather than the entire NWA. Just sayin'. Lol.

The question should be reformatted as "What if Savage went to JCP and Flair wasn't there?"

All i know is i frickin Love Bruce Prichardson!

Dont forget One Man Gang went to Mid South

Randy would have been the perfect replacement for Piper in mid atlantic.

Randy would have fit just fine in the NWA in the 2nd half of the 80s. Whether as a heel working with Dusty, Magnum, Nikita, Luger, Windham or as a face working with Horsemen, Russians

Ice I am an expert on Randy Savage. He was born to be the best. And I seen it all happen.

He could have been a horseman. He was an excellent technical wrestler. People say he was too over the top for tbe promotion, but flair had sparkly robes too

The nwa would have given Savage a push until he lost to Flair in a pay per view, then lost in the shuffle.

Before WWF Randy Savage worked in Puerto Rico WWC in the early 80's against Carlos Colon, Hercules Ayala, The Invader 3 among others. His father Angelo Poffo also worked for Carlos Colon in the late 70's.

I agree about Randy being a better territory top guy wrestling the touring champion, than being the touring champion. Randy could get the crowd to eat out of his hands as both a face or heel.

They'd put him against jimmy valiant the best wrestler against the worst

I thought Savage did work in Mid-South...wasn’t Savage tag-teaming with Magnum TA supposed to be one of the reasons Wrestling II turned on him?...or maybe that was just a trumped up story in PWI....

who is talking with jim cornette

I can tell you his story better than anybody alive.

If Randy would have went to NWA he would have only made half the money. Would have only been half as big and would have loosing to guys who weren’t as over as he was. He made the right choice

Savage would have been lost in the shuffle with Crockett. McMahon knew how to promote and make stars back in the 80s, so the WWF was the best option.

Road warrior hawk punched Randy Savage in the locker room in Japan and KO'd him cold as he was on his way to the ring they played macho mans song twice and he never appeared for the match can't remember who was wrestling him that night left standing in the ring with no macho man.

🎾🤓

Dusty would have buried him.😎

40 percent of people in wrestling die so so early:(

Savage made Hogan look like a straight up goof.

Ur wrong Jim Corrnette.

i hate Savave for his treatment of elizabeth. Ditto for luger.

2nd!!!

Randy in NWA would have been Midcard. Cause better Talent in NWA.
