    Savage always had words for Tunney.

    Macho Man is also dead.

    I met him once when I lived in Savannah. A group of wrestlers showed up to a bar where I hung out after their show. Macho Man must've been 5'9". The highlight of my evening was after leaving the bar and meeting the Nature Boy walking down the street.

    This clip should be in the Smithsonian.
    No one was better at improving a promo than Savage. He and Mean Gene were magic. If you watch a lot of his promos, a lot of them are off the top of their heads and really no other wrestler could do that with Gene except maybe Flair. But the street magic shit with the creamer in that promo is just too much and why Savage is the GOAT. That and he pretty much pioneered the modern era of wrestling above the ropes.
    Hot Rod, Ric Flair, and Savage... The three best to ever work a mic.

    As a side note ...

    The Wrestlemania 3 match between Steamboat and Savage ... off the hook.

    Best wrestling match ever.
