Randy wasnt very well known here and lived next door to my uncle. I use to go over and watch them wrestle in the back yard all the time. I watched randy get in fights with Rick flair one time and JYD another time and a couple of indy wrestlers I didnt know. lol. It was def interesting living next door. always something going on there. lol. I didnt realize how lucky I was then. As I said though he wasnt that big yet.

      WWE will never let anyone become another Macho Man or Hulk Hogan. They script em to death. I saw a few years back that there's some serious charismatic talent being dragged to hell by the way they do things. Even Mojo Rawley when you took him off the script showed some actual character and personality. Vince McMahon is the problem with wrestling and always has been since he kill the territories.
      Him and Kevin Dunn hate wrestling yet it's the only damn thing that made them money.

He hadn’t started dying his hair/beard black. No “oh yeah”…and no gravel voice yet. Just 3-4 years after this he would be packing arenas and stadiums. Miss you Randy!

    This video looks like it's older then I am, when was this put out in the 1980's ? Look at the hair cuts, the dress of the announcer's, One man Gang ? Ronnie Garvin, I had to ask my dad about them, early 80's.

    I wish that bit where Randy Savage threw confetti over himself had carried over into the WWF/WWE. That was pretty cool!

    The sound effects are very distracting but Savage sounds awesome as always.
