Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,035 --> 00:00:05,771
Oh, yeah.
2
00:00:05,772 --> 00:00:08,241
Never before had two words
capture the imagination of
3
00:00:08,242 --> 00:00:11,512
audiences worldwide and bred
such a global phenomenon.
4
00:00:12,045 --> 00:00:14,447
Here he is, the one and only
"Macho Man" Randy Savage
5
00:00:14,448 --> 00:00:15,549
and Elizabeth.
6
00:00:16,383 --> 00:00:18,384
With the larger than life
personality,
7
00:00:18,385 --> 00:00:22,456
electrifying outfits, and
undeniable athleticism.
8
00:00:22,556 --> 00:00:25,592
There was never anyone quite
like the Macho Man.
9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,362
But the cream will rise to the
top.
10
00:00:29,363 --> 00:00:30,396
Oh yeah.
11
00:00:30,397 --> 00:00:32,999
Today we look back at the very
12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,200
best of the "Macho Man"
Randy Savage.
13
00:00:34,201 --> 00:00:37,670
The "Macho Man" Randy Savage
Lord and master of the ring.
14
00:00:37,671 --> 00:00:40,874
This is WWE's Greatest
Moments.
15
00:00:41,275 --> 00:00:42,876
Ooh, Yeah.
16
00:00:45,445 --> 00:00:47,046
Acknowledge me.
17
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:48,247
My God.
18
00:00:48,248 --> 00:00:49,715
Stone Cold with a beer bath.
19
00:00:49,716 --> 00:00:50,617
Ah.
20
00:00:50,717 --> 00:00:52,952
This is surreal.
21
00:00:52,953 --> 00:00:53,920
Look at this.
22
00:00:53,921 --> 00:00:55,188
He slammed him.
23
00:01:01,428 --> 00:01:03,796
Welcome, everyone, to WWE's
Greatest Moments.
24
00:01:03,797 --> 00:01:05,699
I'm Michael Cole, and on this
edition,
25
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:07,466
we're looking back at the
illustrious career
26
00:01:07,467 --> 00:01:11,905
of one of the all time greats,
the "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
27
00:01:12,005 --> 00:01:15,041
No matter where you go, everyone
does a Macho Man impression.
28
00:01:15,042 --> 00:01:17,443
Ooh yeah, dig-
29
00:01:17,444 --> 00:01:19,512
Oh, damn it, that's not it
either.
30
00:01:19,513 --> 00:01:21,381
I'll get mine out of the way
now.
31
00:01:21,481 --> 00:01:23,350
Ooh, yeah.
32
00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:26,485
Okay, so no one can really
come close to his essence,
33
00:01:26,486 --> 00:01:27,954
but it's understandable.
34
00:01:27,955 --> 00:01:30,156
As the spokesperson for Slim Jim
35
00:01:30,157 --> 00:01:33,426
and a memorable role in the box
office smash Spider-Man.
36
00:01:33,427 --> 00:01:35,095
Savage embodied the very
definition
37
00:01:35,195 --> 00:01:36,697
of the word "Superstar."
38
00:01:36,797 --> 00:01:38,864
Nothing stops the "Macho Man"
Randy Savage,
39
00:01:38,865 --> 00:01:40,599
I am the Lord and
master of the ring.
40
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,868
But with all those tremendous
Hall of Fame accolades,
41
00:01:42,869 --> 00:01:44,638
the Macho Man couldn't
do it alone.
42
00:01:46,506 --> 00:01:50,643
Upon his debut in 1985, all the
WWE managers were lined up
43
00:01:50,644 --> 00:01:54,347
ready to guide the career
of WWE's newest sensation.
44
00:01:54,348 --> 00:01:57,718
But it was who he chose that had
the world buzzing.
45
00:02:02,155 --> 00:02:07,460
The man who is in demand by
wrestling managers galore.
46
00:02:07,461 --> 00:02:09,862
The number one free agent,
47
00:02:09,863 --> 00:02:13,900
Randy "Macho Man" Savage.
48
00:02:15,836 --> 00:02:17,770
When Randy came in,
49
00:02:17,771 --> 00:02:19,306
they had the bidding
and they had the
50
00:02:19,406 --> 00:02:23,309
competition for what manager was
going to manage the Macho Man.
51
00:02:23,310 --> 00:02:26,612
They had Bobby Heenan, you had
Mr. Fuji, Fred Blassie,
52
00:02:26,613 --> 00:02:28,247
Lou Albano, all these different
managers
53
00:02:28,248 --> 00:02:31,885
that were vying to manage
the Macho Man.
54
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,323
Right behind that door right
now
55
00:02:37,324 --> 00:02:42,261
is the Macho Man's new manager.
56
00:02:42,262 --> 00:02:43,062
Oh.
57
00:02:43,063 --> 00:02:45,197
Oh, goodness.
58
00:02:45,198 --> 00:02:46,232
Oh, my.
59
00:02:46,233 --> 00:02:47,667
What is this some movie star?
60
00:02:47,668 --> 00:02:48,902
Who is this?
61
00:02:49,002 --> 00:02:51,671
There was this beautiful woman
dressed in an evening gown.
62
00:02:51,672 --> 00:02:53,473
No one knew who the hell she
was.
63
00:02:54,341 --> 00:02:56,043
Look at the smile.
64
00:02:56,576 --> 00:02:59,046
That is a gorgeous, gorgeous
lady.
65
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,448
His girlfriend is his manager.
66
00:03:02,449 --> 00:03:06,185
Well, that makes him more
human than a King Kong Bundy
67
00:03:06,186 --> 00:03:07,386
or an Andre the Giant,
68
00:03:07,387 --> 00:03:09,021
or these larger than life
villains.
69
00:03:09,022 --> 00:03:10,790
It was a real storyline.
70
00:03:10,791 --> 00:03:12,192
That's why it worked.
71
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:21,234
The Macho Man introducing the
managers to his current manager.
72
00:03:22,669 --> 00:03:27,707
She was very stark contrast to
the Macho Man,
73
00:03:27,708 --> 00:03:30,710
and Elizabeth captured
the audience's attention.
74
00:03:31,578 --> 00:03:33,880
We're gonna have to find out a
lot more about this lady.
75
00:03:36,349 --> 00:03:39,019
Macho Madness was indeed
sweeping the nation
76
00:03:39,119 --> 00:03:41,620
very early on in his WWE career.
77
00:03:41,621 --> 00:03:43,823
Macho Madness, ooh yeah.
78
00:03:43,824 --> 00:03:45,524
All around the world.
79
00:03:45,525 --> 00:03:46,525
Yeah.
80
00:03:46,526 --> 00:03:47,960
And it was his iconic voice
that captured
81
00:03:47,961 --> 00:03:49,261
the attention of the viewers.
82
00:03:49,262 --> 00:03:51,832
I think they're scared to
death.
83
00:03:52,466 --> 00:03:55,035
And his creativity was unlike
any one of the era.
84
00:03:57,904 --> 00:03:59,238
My special guest,
perhaps one of the most
85
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:00,507
talked about men
in the ranks
86
00:04:00,607 --> 00:04:03,809
of the World Wrestling-- this week-
87
00:04:03,810 --> 00:04:05,278
every week, for that matter.
88
00:04:05,679 --> 00:04:07,213
He was a delight to interview
89
00:04:07,214 --> 00:04:08,747
because he had a lot
of fun doing it.
90
00:04:08,748 --> 00:04:10,083
His knack for spontaneity.
91
00:04:10,584 --> 00:04:12,219
He was very
good off the cuff.
92
00:04:12,752 --> 00:04:15,255
Ooh yeah, you know what I'm
reading right now?
93
00:04:15,355 --> 00:04:18,924
Yeah, I'm reading yesterday's
newspaper.
94
00:04:18,925 --> 00:04:23,096
And that's Hulk Hogan and Tito
Santana all rolled into one.
95
00:04:23,196 --> 00:04:24,029
Yeah.
96
00:04:24,030 --> 00:04:26,232
Like he had just started with
WWE,
97
00:04:26,233 --> 00:04:27,767
and he's already
going for the top.
98
00:04:27,768 --> 00:04:29,102
He is calling out Hulk Hogan.
99
00:04:29,202 --> 00:04:31,070
I'm talking about intensity
and I'm talking about
100
00:04:31,071 --> 00:04:35,708
Macho Madness, and I'm talking
about the rest of 1985.
101
00:04:35,709 --> 00:04:36,909
Yeah.
102
00:04:36,910 --> 00:04:39,645
You put him in front of
a camera and let him go crazy.
103
00:04:39,646 --> 00:04:41,181
The Macho Man, there's nobody
like him.
104
00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:44,950
I'm talking about the rest of
the 80s leading into the 90s.
105
00:04:44,951 --> 00:04:46,219
Yeah.
106
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:50,189
And then I'm talking about going
all the way into the year 2000.
107
00:04:50,190 --> 00:04:53,325
And all the way into the
Twilight Zone.
108
00:04:53,326 --> 00:04:54,460
Yeah.
109
00:04:54,461 --> 00:04:56,061
You couldn't explain the Macho
Man.
110
00:04:56,062 --> 00:04:58,498
You had to see him to get him.
111
00:04:58,598 --> 00:05:02,035
Momentum, Macho Madness going
down and gathering momentum.
112
00:05:02,636 --> 00:05:05,171
You hung on to every word
because he was so committed
113
00:05:05,172 --> 00:05:07,673
and believed every word he said.
114
00:05:07,674 --> 00:05:08,474
It is rough.
115
00:05:08,475 --> 00:05:09,142
Yeah.
116
00:05:09,242 --> 00:05:10,544
Wrestling is a rough sport,
117
00:05:10,644 --> 00:05:12,546
and I am the roughest
one in the sport.
118
00:05:12,646 --> 00:05:16,082
I am the number one wrestler in
the world today.
119
00:05:20,187 --> 00:05:22,755
"Macho Man" Randy Savage was
always a key player wherever he
120
00:05:22,756 --> 00:05:26,759
went and when he made his WCW
debut, it was no different.
121
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,262
In 1997, Savage was riding high
atop World Championship
122
00:05:30,263 --> 00:05:32,631
Wrestling as part of the New
World Order.
123
00:05:32,632 --> 00:05:35,835
Macho Man had his sights set on
one superstar in particular
124
00:05:35,836 --> 00:05:37,370
Diamond Dallas Page.
125
00:05:38,238 --> 00:05:40,206
Diamond Dallas Page.
126
00:05:40,207 --> 00:05:43,143
He doesn't want to feel the
Madness anymore.
127
00:05:43,243 --> 00:05:48,515
Savage, you are a dead man
walking.
128
00:05:48,949 --> 00:05:51,116
The two were engulfed in a
rivalry that was
129
00:05:51,117 --> 00:05:52,519
as personal as it was violent.
130
00:05:52,953 --> 00:05:55,387
And at the Great American Bash,
things were just
131
00:05:55,388 --> 00:05:56,456
getting started.
132
00:06:00,227 --> 00:06:02,027
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's the
133
00:06:02,028 --> 00:06:05,966
WCW Great American
Bash main event.
134
00:06:06,533 --> 00:06:10,636
This falls count anywhere
match felt massive.
135
00:06:10,637 --> 00:06:13,974
And the Anything Goes Savage
Page was on.
136
00:06:14,441 --> 00:06:16,009
They're not going to walk out
of this thing tonight.
137
00:06:16,509 --> 00:06:19,111
The energy for that match-
138
00:06:19,112 --> 00:06:21,314
It was awesome.
139
00:06:21,948 --> 00:06:23,148
Oh.
140
00:06:23,149 --> 00:06:25,584
We went out there and we just
kicked the ass,
141
00:06:25,585 --> 00:06:28,588
and he made me fight from
underneath the whole way.
142
00:06:30,023 --> 00:06:32,558
It felt as you were watching-
143
00:06:32,559 --> 00:06:37,363
Like Randy Savage and Diamond
Dallas Page had both decided-
144
00:06:37,364 --> 00:06:38,632
"Let's put everything into
this."
145
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,969
He saw a man that was just as
hungry as he was
146
00:06:43,970 --> 00:06:48,807
ready, willing and able to
do anything it took.
147
00:06:48,808 --> 00:06:50,877
to jam the roof off that
place.
148
00:06:52,045 --> 00:06:52,711
One.
149
00:06:52,712 --> 00:06:53,346
Wow.
150
00:06:53,446 --> 00:06:54,013
Two.
151
00:06:54,014 --> 00:06:54,546
Oh, man.
152
00:06:54,547 --> 00:06:55,715
Three.
153
00:06:56,816 --> 00:07:00,185
Two guys know exactly what
they're doing in the ring.
154
00:07:00,186 --> 00:07:01,186
Excellent workers.
155
00:07:01,187 --> 00:07:02,354
It was a great storyline.
156
00:07:02,355 --> 00:07:04,823
They worked great together.
157
00:07:04,824 --> 00:07:06,325
We had a hell of a match.
158
00:07:06,326 --> 00:07:08,295
People loved that match.
159
00:07:08,395 --> 00:07:09,429
What a moment, man.
160
00:07:15,168 --> 00:07:17,269
I am the greatest superstar
ever to step
161
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:20,106
into that squared circle.
162
00:07:20,206 --> 00:07:23,409
If there's one thing Macho Man
does best is get your attention.
163
00:07:23,410 --> 00:07:25,011
And that doesn't just ring true
for the audience.
164
00:07:25,779 --> 00:07:28,747
He could garner a response out
of his opponents as well.
165
00:07:28,748 --> 00:07:30,550
One example is the Ultimate
Warrior.
166
00:07:31,184 --> 00:07:31,951
Wait, wait, no.
167
00:07:31,952 --> 00:07:33,786
Oh, look at that.
168
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:36,522
After costing the Warrior his
WWE Championship.
169
00:07:36,523 --> 00:07:37,823
Things got personal.
170
00:07:37,824 --> 00:07:39,259
You, Macho King,
171
00:07:39,359 --> 00:07:41,026
have found the madness.
172
00:07:41,027 --> 00:07:44,630
I, Macho King, am the Wildness.
173
00:07:44,631 --> 00:07:47,800
Ultimate Warrior,
I'm gonna take your career,
174
00:07:47,801 --> 00:07:51,270
and there ain't nothing that you
can do about it.
175
00:07:51,271 --> 00:07:52,805
Dig it.
176
00:07:52,806 --> 00:07:54,006
Wrestlemania 7-
177
00:07:54,007 --> 00:07:57,042
Both superstars agreed to put
their careers on the line
178
00:07:57,043 --> 00:07:59,111
in one of the most
anticipated matches
179
00:07:59,112 --> 00:08:00,880
on the biggest
stage of them all.
180
00:08:04,117 --> 00:08:05,418
Look at the Queen.
181
00:08:05,518 --> 00:08:07,386
And all her
glory.
182
00:08:07,387 --> 00:08:08,721
Is that the lovely Elizabeth?
183
00:08:08,722 --> 00:08:09,388
It is.
184
00:08:09,389 --> 00:08:10,589
That's what I thought.
185
00:08:10,590 --> 00:08:13,759
Everyone realizing the
magnitude of this one.
186
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,661
Working with Randy
was the best.
187
00:08:15,662 --> 00:08:17,830
He's the one that brought the
most out of me.
188
00:08:17,831 --> 00:08:20,867
You're watching the end of the
Ultimate Warrior.
189
00:08:21,234 --> 00:08:23,603
What a display here by the
Macho King.
190
00:08:24,237 --> 00:08:26,606
Flying elbow off the top
rope.
191
00:08:26,940 --> 00:08:28,742
No no no.
192
00:08:28,842 --> 00:08:30,309
I don't believe it.
193
00:08:30,310 --> 00:08:31,510
Wrestlemania 7-
194
00:08:31,511 --> 00:08:32,845
The Ultimate Warrior.
195
00:08:32,846 --> 00:08:34,113
Macho Man.
196
00:08:34,114 --> 00:08:36,449
One of the greatest matches of
all time.
197
00:08:36,816 --> 00:08:38,385
Nobody's getting up from this.
198
00:08:38,585 --> 00:08:39,752
No.
199
00:08:39,753 --> 00:08:41,121
No no no.
200
00:08:41,654 --> 00:08:44,323
When I looked into my
hands like I'm asking the gods
201
00:08:44,324 --> 00:08:45,658
what the answer is.
202
00:08:46,059 --> 00:08:47,826
Are the Warrior's getting a
message?
203
00:08:47,827 --> 00:08:49,461
It's not over for me.
204
00:08:49,462 --> 00:08:51,231
My destiny is to remain here.
205
00:08:52,999 --> 00:08:55,000
It's over.
206
00:08:55,001 --> 00:08:58,037
After Queen Sherri realizes
that her meal ticket just lost a
207
00:08:58,038 --> 00:09:00,406
career ending match,
208
00:09:00,407 --> 00:09:02,241
she gets in the ring and just
starts
209
00:09:02,242 --> 00:09:04,410
throwing blows and punches.
210
00:09:04,411 --> 00:09:05,612
Oh my God.
211
00:09:06,379 --> 00:09:07,446
Oh, look at Elizabeth.
212
00:09:07,447 --> 00:09:08,247
What's she doing?
213
00:09:08,248 --> 00:09:09,915
She's going over the
barricade.
214
00:09:09,916 --> 00:09:12,084
She couldn't take it anymore.
215
00:09:12,085 --> 00:09:13,019
She loves him.
216
00:09:13,119 --> 00:09:14,754
She's loved him from the
beginning.
217
00:09:15,588 --> 00:09:16,822
Tears flowing down-
218
00:09:16,823 --> 00:09:18,358
Oh, yes.
219
00:09:18,958 --> 00:09:22,062
He lost the match, but he got
something much more valuable-
220
00:09:23,863 --> 00:09:25,498
his woman.
221
00:09:27,934 --> 00:09:30,269
Upon Savage's debut,
the lovely Elizabeth
222
00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:32,271
was always
by his side.
223
00:09:32,272 --> 00:09:34,808
And audiences were enthralled by
the dazzling duo.
224
00:09:36,076 --> 00:09:40,112
Finally, in 1991, the Macho Man
popped the question.
225
00:09:40,113 --> 00:09:43,116
Elizabeth, will you
marry me?
226
00:09:44,617 --> 00:09:46,518
Ooh, yeah.
227
00:09:47,554 --> 00:09:48,954
Yee haw
228
00:09:48,955 --> 00:09:50,823
Ooh, yeah.
229
00:09:50,824 --> 00:09:53,393
We got us a wedding-
a wing ding.
230
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,695
The honor of our presence was
requested
231
00:09:55,795 --> 00:09:57,196
for the wedding of the century,
232
00:09:57,197 --> 00:10:00,799
held at the only place befitting
such an extravagant affair.
233
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,903
The world's most famous arena,
Madison Square Garden in the
234
00:10:04,003 --> 00:10:06,039
main event of SummerSlam.
235
00:10:10,076 --> 00:10:11,210
What you're
about to see
236
00:10:11,211 --> 00:10:13,680
is one of the most sacred
moments we can have.
237
00:10:14,447 --> 00:10:16,048
Like, isn't it crazy
that a wedding
238
00:10:16,049 --> 00:10:18,084
main evented SummerSlam?
239
00:10:18,585 --> 00:10:19,586
Elizabeth,
240
00:10:19,686 --> 00:10:22,821
do you take this man as your
lawful wedded husband?
241
00:10:22,822 --> 00:10:24,057
I will.
242
00:10:25,225 --> 00:10:28,026
Do you take this woman as your
lawful wedded wife?
243
00:10:28,027 --> 00:10:29,995
Ooh yeah.
244
00:10:32,398 --> 00:10:36,102
Elizabeth had been such a big
part of his life.
245
00:10:36,202 --> 00:10:39,805
Now, I pronounce that you are
husband and wife.
246
00:10:39,806 --> 00:10:41,240
It was beauty and the beast.
247
00:10:41,241 --> 00:10:42,674
They didn't go together.
248
00:10:42,675 --> 00:10:45,144
However, they paired perfectly
together.
249
00:10:45,912 --> 00:10:48,248
You may now kiss the bride.
250
00:10:48,715 --> 00:10:51,217
It's probably the first and
the last,
251
00:10:51,317 --> 00:10:54,821
and the only time that we've
seen a wrestling wedding
252
00:10:54,921 --> 00:10:56,989
go off without a hitch.
253
00:10:56,990 --> 00:10:59,124
Now is the greatest love story-
254
00:10:59,125 --> 00:11:00,827
Romeo and Juliet of all time.
255
00:11:01,628 --> 00:11:05,298
What a night it's been at
SummerSlam.
256
00:11:05,398 --> 00:11:10,302
So long everybody.
257
00:11:10,303 --> 00:11:12,105
As Intercontinental Champion,
the ego of "Macho Man"
258
00:11:12,205 --> 00:11:14,607
Randy Savage was at
an all time high.
259
00:11:15,275 --> 00:11:16,475
"Macho Man" Randy Savage
260
00:11:16,476 --> 00:11:19,511
is the world's greatest
professional wrestler, yeah.
261
00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:21,313
Savage was not only a master
in the ring,
262
00:11:21,314 --> 00:11:22,915
but on the microphone as well,
263
00:11:22,916 --> 00:11:26,152
famously adding props into
his iconic promos.
264
00:11:26,819 --> 00:11:29,488
The cream will rise to the
top.
265
00:11:29,489 --> 00:11:30,389
Ooh, yeah.
266
00:11:30,390 --> 00:11:32,624
Nothing was off limits.
267
00:11:32,625 --> 00:11:34,394
Not even a big cup of Joe.
268
00:11:36,863 --> 00:11:37,829
"Macho Man" Randy Savage.
269
00:11:37,830 --> 00:11:39,364
Sarasota, Florida.
270
00:11:39,365 --> 00:11:40,399
Come on in.
271
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,800
You're going to be defending
against "The Dragon,"
272
00:11:41,801 --> 00:11:42,468
Ricky Steamboat.
273
00:11:42,569 --> 00:11:43,368
What's the cup for?
274
00:11:43,369 --> 00:11:44,436
Wrestlemania 3.
275
00:11:44,437 --> 00:11:45,771
Pontiac, Michigan.
276
00:11:45,772 --> 00:11:49,808
Yeah, 90,000 plus people
watching right there.
277
00:11:49,809 --> 00:11:52,946
And this is Ricky "The Dragon"
Steamboat's cup of coffee
278
00:11:53,046 --> 00:11:54,513
in the big time, yeah.
279
00:11:54,514 --> 00:11:56,949
Cup of coffee in the big
time.
280
00:11:56,950 --> 00:11:58,985
Because he'll never get closer
than now.
281
00:11:59,552 --> 00:12:00,986
Cup of coffee in the big time.
282
00:12:00,987 --> 00:12:03,922
It's one of the best wrestling
promos ever.
283
00:12:03,923 --> 00:12:05,858
Cup of coffee in the big time.
284
00:12:05,959 --> 00:12:06,959
Cup of coffee.
285
00:12:08,361 --> 00:12:10,429
You know, grabbing a little
prop there next to Mean Gene,
286
00:12:10,430 --> 00:12:12,699
you know, craft services was a
couple feet away.
287
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:14,666
All that type of stuff is just
all ad lib.
288
00:12:14,667 --> 00:12:15,568
He was just brilliant.
289
00:12:16,669 --> 00:12:17,836
I am the Intercontinental
Heavyweight Champion,
290
00:12:17,837 --> 00:12:21,073
and I will remain the greatest
Intercontinental Heavyweight
291
00:12:21,074 --> 00:12:22,407
Champion of all time.
292
00:12:22,408 --> 00:12:24,744
Cup of coffee, man, yeah.
293
00:12:25,511 --> 00:12:26,846
Man.
294
00:12:28,047 --> 00:12:28,880
Wow, man.
295
00:12:28,881 --> 00:12:30,083
Freak out.
296
00:12:31,584 --> 00:12:33,585
Macho Man was gaining fans and
momentum
297
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:35,021
with his outlandish promos.
298
00:12:35,588 --> 00:12:38,323
You can't handle the success
of The "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
299
00:12:38,324 --> 00:12:40,025
But with the target on his
back,
300
00:12:40,026 --> 00:12:41,827
Randy would soon find
himself outnumbered
301
00:12:41,828 --> 00:12:44,163
by The Honky Tonk Man and the
Hart Foundation.
302
00:12:44,864 --> 00:12:46,598
Unfortunately, there's no one
in the ring right now
303
00:12:46,599 --> 00:12:48,133
to save Randy Savage.
304
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:49,534
Ooh.
305
00:12:49,535 --> 00:12:50,969
The quick thinking of his
manager,
306
00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:53,239
Elizabeth would lead
to an unlikely duo.
307
00:12:56,042 --> 00:12:57,709
What brilliance
this lady has.
308
00:12:57,710 --> 00:12:59,478
What a presence of mind
to bring help.
309
00:12:59,479 --> 00:13:00,712
And help she has from.
310
00:13:00,713 --> 00:13:02,014
in the form of this
man,
311
00:13:02,015 --> 00:13:03,916
the World Wrestling-- champion.
312
00:13:04,717 --> 00:13:06,619
You had these two bigger than
life characters-
313
00:13:06,719 --> 00:13:08,887
Colorful, but all of a sudden
when they came together,
314
00:13:08,888 --> 00:13:10,790
it was like something was
going to be unstoppable.
315
00:13:11,624 --> 00:13:12,525
Look at that.
316
00:13:13,393 --> 00:13:15,427
Yes, they've had their
differences in the past,
317
00:13:15,428 --> 00:13:18,463
but the Macho Man is extending
the hand of friendship
318
00:13:18,464 --> 00:13:19,665
to the Hulkster.
319
00:13:19,666 --> 00:13:23,168
I remember being like,
not able to believe it.
320
00:13:23,169 --> 00:13:24,670
Like, I really, I was
watching, I was like,
321
00:13:24,671 --> 00:13:27,674
"No, this, this can't happen."
322
00:13:28,474 --> 00:13:33,746
We could be seeing the meeting
of the Madness and the Mania.
323
00:13:33,846 --> 00:13:35,081
Yes, there it is.
324
00:13:35,948 --> 00:13:39,118
When we went to shake hands,
we both just over animated it.
325
00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:40,987
And it was like the handshake
heard around the world.
326
00:13:41,988 --> 00:13:43,922
I think everyone was
super excited about the fact
327
00:13:43,923 --> 00:13:46,558
that they were together, not
necessarily against each other.
328
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,261
That added a different dimension
to the whole thing.
329
00:13:48,828 --> 00:13:52,432
A magic moment in the annals
of sports history.
330
00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:53,833
Look at this.
331
00:13:54,434 --> 00:13:56,568
To bring Randy and Hogan
together at that moment,
332
00:13:56,569 --> 00:13:59,204
with Hogan being as huge
of a character,
333
00:13:59,205 --> 00:14:01,873
and the impact he was having on
the industry,
334
00:14:01,874 --> 00:14:05,811
then have the two worlds come
together as the Mega Powers.
335
00:14:05,812 --> 00:14:07,412
Unbelievable.
336
00:14:07,413 --> 00:14:09,114
I'm still in a state of shock
right now.
337
00:14:09,115 --> 00:14:11,417
In fact, I don't think they're
going to be coming down
338
00:14:11,517 --> 00:14:13,685
for a long period of time, yeah.
339
00:14:13,686 --> 00:14:15,187
It meant a lot to Randy.
340
00:14:15,188 --> 00:14:16,788
It is a career changer.
341
00:14:16,789 --> 00:14:18,623
It had changed Randy's career.
342
00:14:18,624 --> 00:14:19,958
With the mega, yeah.
343
00:14:19,959 --> 00:14:21,260
The mega, yeah.
344
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,228
The Mega Powers, yeah.
345
00:14:23,229 --> 00:14:24,062
Mega Powers.
346
00:14:24,063 --> 00:14:25,098
Yeah.
347
00:14:26,833 --> 00:14:28,067
If there was a title to be
held
348
00:14:28,167 --> 00:14:29,968
you can bet that "Macho Man"
Randy Savage
349
00:14:29,969 --> 00:14:31,704
had his eyes set on it.
350
00:14:31,804 --> 00:14:35,073
In 1989, the King of the Ring
crown was worn proudly by
351
00:14:35,074 --> 00:14:36,242
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan.
352
00:14:37,343 --> 00:14:40,279
We crown thee, King Hacksaw.
353
00:14:40,913 --> 00:14:42,514
Just like a young lion cub.
354
00:14:42,515 --> 00:14:45,551
Randy Savage couldn't wait to be
king.
355
00:14:48,254 --> 00:14:51,223
King Hacksaw Jim Duggan,
the Macho Man.
356
00:14:51,224 --> 00:14:53,659
The crown on the line.
357
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,394
Oh, did you hear that?
358
00:14:56,162 --> 00:14:57,597
Got to be something in that
purse.
359
00:14:59,699 --> 00:15:02,402
And Macho Man has won the
crown.
360
00:15:03,469 --> 00:15:08,240
I now remove my mortarboard
and place it near my heart and
361
00:15:08,241 --> 00:15:12,612
thus proclaim you "Macho King"
Randy Savage.
362
00:15:14,380 --> 00:15:17,517
Him being presented with this
almost ridiculous thing.
363
00:15:17,617 --> 00:15:19,952
King, he's going to wear a
crown.
364
00:15:20,386 --> 00:15:21,987
He was smart enough to know
365
00:15:21,988 --> 00:15:25,991
that he's elevating this and to
have it elevate him
366
00:15:25,992 --> 00:15:27,325
he has to go all in.
367
00:15:27,326 --> 00:15:28,126
Bow.
368
00:15:28,127 --> 00:15:29,227
Bow.
369
00:15:29,228 --> 00:15:31,062
He was bigger than life
character once again-
370
00:15:31,063 --> 00:15:32,664
Macho King.
371
00:15:32,665 --> 00:15:35,668
I wear the crown for a real
good reason
372
00:15:35,768 --> 00:15:37,570
'cause I can't be beat.
373
00:15:38,004 --> 00:15:39,839
Just brilliant character
stuff.
374
00:15:40,139 --> 00:15:44,477
It evolves him and extends an
already Hall of Fame career.
375
00:15:45,478 --> 00:15:48,079
Kingdom of the Madness will
rule the World Wrestling
376
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,783
- forever and ever and
ever.
377
00:15:51,784 --> 00:15:53,553
Yeah.
378
00:15:57,957 --> 00:15:59,491
Whether on the microphone or
in the ring,
379
00:15:59,492 --> 00:16:02,227
you did not want to be on the
opposing side of Randy Savage.
380
00:16:02,228 --> 00:16:04,897
One superstar who found that out
firsthand was
381
00:16:04,997 --> 00:16:06,598
Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat.
382
00:16:06,599 --> 00:16:08,200
After a vicious assault,
Steamboat
383
00:16:08,201 --> 00:16:10,435
was out of action for months.
384
00:16:10,436 --> 00:16:13,306
Upon his return, The Dragon
sought out to set the
385
00:16:13,406 --> 00:16:15,473
Kingdom of the Madness ablaze.
386
00:16:15,474 --> 00:16:18,243
In front of the largest
WrestleMania crowd of the era,
387
00:16:18,244 --> 00:16:21,347
"Macho Man" Randy Savage took on
Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat
388
00:16:21,447 --> 00:16:23,316
in an instant classic.
389
00:16:26,586 --> 00:16:28,954
One of the biggest
confrontations of all time-
390
00:16:28,955 --> 00:16:30,589
Ricky "The Dragon"
Steamboat
391
00:16:30,590 --> 00:16:33,191
and his vendetta
for the Macho Man.
392
00:16:33,192 --> 00:16:37,128
The perfect and
most hated bad guy
393
00:16:37,129 --> 00:16:39,832
versus the quintessential good
guy.
394
00:16:40,900 --> 00:16:42,668
Deep arm drag by The Dragon.
395
00:16:43,102 --> 00:16:44,603
Oh, look at that.
396
00:16:44,604 --> 00:16:45,471
He's going after the throat.
397
00:16:45,571 --> 00:16:47,839
He's going after the throat, indeed.
398
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,909
And The Dragon is out into the
ringside area.
399
00:16:51,143 --> 00:16:53,044
You know, throughout
your wrestling career,
400
00:16:53,045 --> 00:16:55,147
you have guys that you take
a look at and you say,
401
00:16:55,248 --> 00:16:56,448
"Wow, the guy's a
great performer."
402
00:16:56,449 --> 00:16:58,518
And I had that feeling about
Randy.
403
00:16:59,151 --> 00:17:00,952
It was because of the ride that
we took everybody on
404
00:17:00,953 --> 00:17:03,188
with all the false finishes.
405
00:17:03,189 --> 00:17:04,423
All we wanted to do was steal
the show.
406
00:17:04,957 --> 00:17:07,158
This 90,000 plus has gone
bananas.
407
00:17:07,159 --> 00:17:08,760
No, his foot is on the rope.
408
00:17:08,761 --> 00:17:11,129
This is one of the greatest
matches I've ever seen.
409
00:17:11,130 --> 00:17:12,964
The match had such a
pace to it,
410
00:17:12,965 --> 00:17:15,033
we had to keep on our toes
411
00:17:15,034 --> 00:17:17,168
for both of us to be
on the same page.
412
00:17:17,169 --> 00:17:20,306
Oh, inadvertently rammed right
into the referee.
413
00:17:20,406 --> 00:17:21,239
It was just layer after layer
414
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,074
of something happening in that
match
415
00:17:23,075 --> 00:17:24,644
that kept the
people's attention.
416
00:17:25,077 --> 00:17:27,346
He's trying to get the bell
away from the timekeeper.
417
00:17:27,713 --> 00:17:28,948
Give me a break.
418
00:17:29,448 --> 00:17:29,949
Look at that
419
00:17:30,049 --> 00:17:30,615
Oh.
420
00:17:30,616 --> 00:17:31,583
Flagrant interference.
421
00:17:31,584 --> 00:17:32,684
George pushed him.
422
00:17:32,685 --> 00:17:35,887
Randy went in one direction and
the bell went the other.
423
00:17:35,888 --> 00:17:36,822
Pretty big moment.
424
00:17:36,923 --> 00:17:37,957
It was a game changer.
425
00:17:38,758 --> 00:17:40,726
Small package by The Dragon.
426
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:42,061
No.
427
00:17:42,161 --> 00:17:43,161
He got him.
428
00:17:43,162 --> 00:17:47,399
New Intercontinental champion,
429
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:52,672
Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat.
430
00:17:53,272 --> 00:17:54,307
Poetry in motion.
431
00:17:54,407 --> 00:17:57,275
That's what you had every time
that you saw Macho Man
432
00:17:57,276 --> 00:17:59,946
and Ricky "The Dragon"
Steamboat go at it.
433
00:18:00,046 --> 00:18:02,414
The reigning Intercontinental
Heavyweight Champion,
434
00:18:02,415 --> 00:18:04,482
Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat.
435
00:18:04,483 --> 00:18:06,185
I love it.
436
00:18:07,420 --> 00:18:09,788
It is now time for our number
one moment.
437
00:18:09,789 --> 00:18:11,423
And it's the very pinnacle of
the legendary career
438
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,558
of "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
439
00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:17,629
In 1988, the WWE Championship
was vacant and the world was
440
00:18:17,630 --> 00:18:21,066
watching WrestleMania 4 when
a 14 man tournament
441
00:18:21,067 --> 00:18:23,401
was held to determine
the new champion.
442
00:18:23,402 --> 00:18:25,203
Macho Man had quite the
afternoon,
443
00:18:25,204 --> 00:18:27,872
first by defeating Butch Reed,
444
00:18:27,873 --> 00:18:30,375
then Greg "The Hammer"
Valentine,
445
00:18:30,376 --> 00:18:33,111
finally the One Man Gang.
446
00:18:33,112 --> 00:18:35,280
"Macho Man" Randy Savage over
the One Man Gang.
447
00:18:35,281 --> 00:18:37,315
So that is your final, the one
we've been thinking about.
448
00:18:37,316 --> 00:18:39,218
With the Million Dollar Man,
Ted DiBiase,
449
00:18:39,318 --> 00:18:40,952
awaiting him in the finals.
450
00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:43,088
I will go on
451
00:18:43,089 --> 00:18:46,625
to my destiny of being the
undisputed
452
00:18:46,626 --> 00:18:48,995
World Wrestling--
Heavyweight Champion.
453
00:18:49,829 --> 00:18:52,664
Could Randy Savage win an
unprecedented four matches in
454
00:18:52,665 --> 00:18:55,134
one night to become champion?
455
00:18:57,770 --> 00:19:01,439
This is the final match of our
tournament to determine the
456
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,810
undisputed World Wrestling-- Heavyweight Champion.
457
00:19:05,811 --> 00:19:08,547
You can feel the electricity
in the air.
458
00:19:09,048 --> 00:19:10,315
There have been so
many roadblocks
459
00:19:10,316 --> 00:19:12,885
as Randy Savage ascended
the ladder.
460
00:19:13,519 --> 00:19:16,222
And I think a real turning point
in his career
461
00:19:16,322 --> 00:19:18,991
was at WrestleMania
4 in Atlantic City.
462
00:19:20,493 --> 00:19:21,426
Nice move.
463
00:19:21,427 --> 00:19:22,727
Oh, look at that.
464
00:19:22,728 --> 00:19:24,029
Randy, impressed me.
465
00:19:24,030 --> 00:19:25,163
He was all business.
466
00:19:25,164 --> 00:19:26,899
He did his job and he did it
well.
467
00:19:26,999 --> 00:19:29,201
And I enjoyed working with him
thoroughly.
468
00:19:31,804 --> 00:19:35,107
I'd say the cards are stacked
against the Macho Man right now.
469
00:19:35,207 --> 00:19:36,308
They really are.
470
00:19:37,143 --> 00:19:38,109
Macho Man beat him-
471
00:19:38,110 --> 00:19:39,311
Oh, he caught him.
472
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,481
Look at Savage going to the
outside.
473
00:19:45,518 --> 00:19:46,786
Savage a flying elbow.
474
00:19:47,219 --> 00:19:48,553
Hooks the leg.
475
00:19:48,554 --> 00:19:49,422
It's over.
476
00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:52,824
It was probably one of the
best matches,
477
00:19:52,825 --> 00:19:54,460
I think, that I ever had.
478
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,163
There are some guys in our
business who just gel real well.
479
00:19:58,164 --> 00:20:00,166
Randy and I had that chemistry.
480
00:20:00,633 --> 00:20:02,268
We have a new champion.
481
00:20:03,235 --> 00:20:05,437
That night elevated Randy to
the great heights
482
00:20:05,438 --> 00:20:07,205
of superstardom.
483
00:20:07,206 --> 00:20:08,773
He was living his dream.
484
00:20:08,774 --> 00:20:10,976
This is Macho Man's finest
hour.
485
00:20:14,580 --> 00:20:16,514
In a career that spanned four
decades,
486
00:20:16,515 --> 00:20:18,116
multiple world championships
487
00:20:18,117 --> 00:20:20,151
and incredible mainstream
popularity,
488
00:20:20,152 --> 00:20:23,721
"Macho Man" Randy Savage will
truly go down as a superstar
489
00:20:23,722 --> 00:20:26,759
who redefined the very nature of
professional wrestling.
490
00:20:27,426 --> 00:20:29,427
Well, that'll do it
for this edition
491
00:20:29,428 --> 00:20:30,328
of WWE's Greatest Moments.
492
00:20:30,329 --> 00:20:31,663
I hope you've enjoyed
this look back
493
00:20:31,664 --> 00:20:33,965
at the very best of
one of the biggest icons this
494
00:20:33,966 --> 00:20:35,600
industry has ever seen.
495
00:20:35,601 --> 00:20:38,504
The one and only
"Macho Man" Randy Savage.
