And his rap album wasnt to shabby either

The best. The Bret Hart of mic skills.

Haha he lived the gimmick but that meant that Macho Man was very emotionally intelligent

@@DanKuhn There's the Best & the Best. Right on brother.

Kylo_Ren _08843 OH YEEEEAH

TODAY'S ROSTER WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HANDLE *THE MACHO MADNESS*

For sure! He was the greatest wrestling entertainer.

Don't get me wrong, Savage was a god on the mic, but I think WWE heavily scripting everything now really hurts their workers. Guys like Gallows and Anderson are legitimately witty and sharp as fuck, but they're not allowed to do anything but recite the dumbass lines creative has for them. If they let the wrestlers go out and get over, you'd see more stuff like this today.

lol so true

I agree and I absolutely miss this guy

I absolutely agreed

Definitely, we need more guys like this!

I always use this quote

This is his most iconic quotes ever , loved him before but just saw this in the last 3 years

Lol. The macho man. Licky da split

What part?

Except he started using them again in the late 90s, which indisputably contributed to his 2011 heart attack and death.

That's like a smoker telling others not to smoke.

He was also a coke fiend

Steven Burks cocaines a helluva drug

EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT!!!!!

I speak from experience when I say there’s nothing like rolling up in a 1985 Honda hatchback with spray painted flames on the front wheel wells, hood patched together with cardboard and duct tape, as you blast “get back” while waving Foodbank Slim Jim’s out the window. Savage don’t fear no man.

BE A MAN HOGAN!

Man I play that on the beach every year I go for the 4th. Never fails to get everyone but the oldest folks into it (which is understandable, I'm 47 for the record).

That's something he would say

Legendary.

Damn those are some powerful words.

Needed to see this 💪🏿🙏🏿

Thanks for writing the whole quote. I couldn't understand a word of what the Macho Man said.

Every time I'm feeling down, I look up this interview, just because I need the Macho Man to tell me this.

🎶Macho gon' give it yo ya! He gon' give it to ya! Macho gon' give it to ya! He gon' give it to ya!🎶

@@randyh.7782 it'd sound better with "cream" instead of "macho" its more succinct and sounds like the original dmx version

You mean DMX is a black version of Macho

Lmaaaaao #Facts

@@randyh.7782 😁 😁 😁 💯 im dying

1992*

Hey man, he told the truth and didn't lie! KIDS... Should not do drugs! The Macho Man never said anything about adults!

Bruce Lee I don't think it was drugs he did I think it was coffee

Edgar Allan Poe o 😊

Don't do drugs, leave them for me.

Yup and hopefully isn't racist

+shane Quinichett yes i agree savage was the man . in 1992 he did go on tv and he amitted he used Steroids.

+Daniel Santana right? You've seen hogans sit with Arsenio, right? The 15 minutes of Terry playing the victim, trying to set the record straight, tries his utmost to explain why he didn't do anything wrong. Just came off entirely different. I always respected macho for this - straight out admitted it, didn't run from it - and then used the opportunity to put out a positive message. I think Vince understood that... He recognized the value in having Randy as a leader and a spokesman.... If only he'd seen his value as a wrestler beyond 1994.

Better wrestler, better talker, better person, better person... He'd rather put new guys in wrestling over, instead of making them jobbers like Hogan would. Also, his "I'M NOT A RACIST!" comment... Seems like he knew something we didn't know at the time.

Absolutely. So much more respectable, and has a much stronger character and sense of integrity

Same here. I'm glad I met him when I was a kid

+illuminatioracle as a kid i was also a fan of the hulkster more than savage. now as a grownup i love macho man's personality in ring performance much more than hogan .

I understand. I wasn't much into macho as a kid, i liked seeing him but wasnt a favorite. As age came about, looking back at older wrestling I was like how could I pass on this guy as a kid??

Me too, but I used to drop that flying elbow on folk.

he's a man about it ya know. And the entertainer in him made sure to lighten the mood back up with a joke. I really admire him for admitting it.

Its all about how you were raised as a kid.

He was honest enough to admit that he had done them in the past, but come on. Only a fool would believe he could maintain the physique he did for as long as he did from only "experimenting" with them in the past. He did them for most of his life, and for years after this interview. He was in character here and clearly speaking to the youth, so he was right to lie. He was being Macho Man Randy Savage, not Jewish-Italian American Randy Poffo from Ohio. The truth is that kids taking steroids will destroy their bodies and their lives. Steroids led Randy to an early grave. But for a superstar like Randy at the time he was in the business, they were a necessity. The average person using anabolics will never get a body like he had, but even with the best genetics you aren't going to get a body like he had without anabolics.

Having said that, he obviously worked his ass off, too. He was a natural athlete from a family of athletes, plus he spent hours everyday in the gym and always ate right. But yeah, he used steroids for decades, which gave him the incredible physique and career he had, but also gave him the enlarged heart that ended his life with a sudden heart attack at age 58. For every shortcut in life, there's a price to pay. He made MILLIONS and it still probably wasn't worth it. He should be alive today. Think about that if you ever consider using performance enhancing drugs. Odds are you will never come even close to being "Macho Man" but you will damage your organs and shorten your life just the same.

AND future steroid use. He used Steroids in 1998-2000 which made him huge again. Sadly, this is probably why he died. Had he never taken them again post-1992, he would still be here.

+Liquidcadmus The coked up gimmick went really well with him lol.

What was great about him. He was about that life, got down & dirty, and took no shit. But he wasn't about the small-dick posturing & toxic masculinity about how a man is *supposed* to be.. He was compassionate & intelligent. Good contrast is The Undertaker, saying all the current wrestlers are pussies because they play games & spend time looking pretty instead of the dudes he came up with who carried weapons, had to struggle to eat, and busted heads in bars. He's every bit the stereotype of a big meathead wrestler.

Especially since people of his generation helped push toxic masculinity, it definitely is beautiful to see someone tell young kids (and emotionally neglected adults)that it’s okay to cry and when you are showing pain and still fighting you’re stronger than before.

+Donald RedLeaf I agree with you 100%! he unfortunately was over-shadowed by the Hulkamania era...

+Lukeor The Macho Man was one of the greatest athletes on the ring during that era of wrestling. it's not fair to put his ability behind promo and look

+Donald RedLeaf I couldn't have said it better

More wrestlers followed Randy's style of wrestling then Hogans..

He's the GOAT definitely! R.I.P

+Sgtduckerz LOL.

deadwalke Smh, No matter how much you´re trying to fit in, they´re still not going to accept you ........ "Brotha".

deadwalke Lol.... Aight Harrison Booth

It's different with Blacks and Whites saying nigga I thought you knew that and what racist things Randy Savage said?

deadwalke I can believe the homophobic thing tho just like with Hulk.

Even though Macho Man was a "heel" as a wrestler, you couldn't help but like him. The voice, the personality, the wit. He was so damn charismatic.

Nope...same

Damn right.

@@David_R922 Says 2002...

I heard he actually sounds like his character in real life and permanently since turning it on

thank you and all the soldiers for everything, i was a 12b back in the day

Where is he rolling?

Hogan... BASICALLY 🤣

Not saying he did not care about kids, but they were also his key marketing demographic.

True dat

RockinProfessor Hogan became the most popular because of the Rocky movie but he was not the most charismatic or the best wrestler.

Thats because hes not IN CHARACTER, thats just who he is IRL.

Uh, twinkle twinkle, bubba

spfdff that should've been a video on KZfaq; bootsy and savage shopping

Dats right Bobbles

Bootsy:: ya imma FunkItOnDer Bobba,With DaMachoMan, MachoMan:: OhhhhYeeeaaa Digg it, The space Bass got u in the Place to be, hmmm mm yea,Its Macho n Bootsy!

+Streatham Soprano good thing it wasn't Hogan who said that.

***** Ha ha, very true. But at least Hogan apologised...

Bwoy OhneName thank you. i hate typing.

The Ultimate Maniacs vs. Davey Boy Smith and Owen Hart is probably taking place right now in heaven.

andrew bobeck oh yeah.....freak out.....dig it!!!

I bet Warrior and Savage are feuding upstairs again.

Dawn Welch You make me feel like Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan. And I'm sure Rick Rude, Curt Hennig, and Andre the Giant want some of the Ultimate Warrior too.

I bet your kid is a true Macho Maniac.

According to friends it wasn’t an act.

If u talking about his voice...he always talk like that. Its not his pro wrestling character

@@brogoramno he doesn’t lmao he sounds like it obviously but he did not take in that Cadence

I’m here 12 yrs late And feel likes yesterday

Silky Slim that would've been a dream match.

One of my favorite quotes.

I heard he didnt WANT to be in the HOF.

FacelessDeviant You know his brother gave them permission to induct him right. It might go against his wishes but I think his brother did it for the fans.

I'm more for respecting the wishes of the diseased.

The Genius has said that Randy didn't want to go in the H.O.F unless Lanny (The Genius) and their dad Dangerous Angelo went in with him, Randy was all about the fans I doubt he said that, but that's what Lanny claims!

@@brittonmillhouse8310 Well, he got in now.

+Christian Velasco You call that manly?

He died from them too, since he resumed doing them in the late 90s again. He was very heavily muscled at age 48, for God's sake.

Cmon dude, humans cant get that jacked without roids. Plus the cocaine. LOL I still dont think that diminishes him or his words in any way. They were all on roids. Randy, however, also had the heart of a philosopher, which makes him one of a kind. Lots of people do roids and or coke, doesnt make them bad.

Ran D That's what made it so cool. He stayed in character but gave a good message (as a heel at this point). But he didn't sound phony like guys who would do this today would.
