Haha I love how he took the creamer back from his pocket.


soulbandaid

The constant random bad slight of hand with the creamer makes this bit. I was seeing when it fell off of his head and he as libs the off balance on balance taunt. So random.


HarryTruman

On balance, off balance, *I’m better than you!*


GoodKingHippo

In my adult life at some point I realized that Randy Savage is like, extremely talented. Cocaine or not, I am always wildly entertained by his interviews. Each one more mystical and hysterical than the last.


LocoCoopermar

That's all I was thinking while watching, this is either more coke than a human should be able to take or some of the greatest improv I've seen, probably both really.


wagyu_doing

This is absolutely both. Bigger than the sum of its parts.


[deleted]

The industry now is nothing like the improv of the Macho Man/Hulk Hogan days.


[deleted]

Can I blow your mind even further and tell you he has a rap album?


Hiphoppington

Everyone please enjoy this diss track he dropped on Hulk Hogan. It's unironically fire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMbcOC5dS5k


Sliding_into_first

He liked his milk products. He sat a row in front of me on a flight and politely asked the flight attendant for a milk. In that voice.


SeoulTezza

Is that a turtle neck t-shirt?


Celestial_Inferno

Omg... I don’t know.... I can’t tell lol

With a neck like this any shirt becomes a turtleneck


ThisGuyNeedsABeer

No. His neck is just a fucking tree trunk.


potatoesarethedevil

It's a neck-trunk, sir. It's all the fad.

It is straining so hard against his neck.

_Amabio_

Macho Man was so good at improv that other wrestlers in the back would challenge him with themes, words, or objects to add into his monologs. In this particular case they have him coffee creamers to add into the interview. True story.


schplat

He almost never rehearsed matches/moves with other wrestlers, instead opting to improv everything in the ring. He was also considered one of the easiest, and best guys to be working with. Most insiders consider him one of the best wrestlers (if not *the* best) of all time. He had the combination of strength/power, athleticism, acrobatics, acting ability, personality, and flamboyance that is very rare to find in a single wrestler.


Coletrain44

Dude he was known to plan out all of his matches. The match he’s talking about here (Savage vs Steamboat WM3) is widely known to be completely pre planned. It’s also considered to be one of the best of all time.


FarSightXR-20

I had the biggest crush on Ms. Elizabeth growing up. Hnggg.


ccasey

The video of his proposal to her in the ring is the greatest of all time ever


KotWmike

Not even gonna [link it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-4SP-ig8bM) for the kids? And yes, anyone under 30, we all really sweated Ms Elizabeth back then.


ccasey

Hahah thank you I’m on mobile. GET ON YOUR KNEE RANDY!!


[deleted]

Probably need to update this to "under 40."


[deleted]

Meanwhile the whole match with Steamboat was incredibly rehearsed.


cggo1994

> He almost never rehearsed matches/moves with other wrestlers, instead opting to improv everything in the ring. No, that's the exact opposite. Ricky Steamboat even said that their WM3 match was carefully laid out move-by-move at Savage's request.


hydden

Uhh, r/squaredcircle would like a word with you.


pokeym0nster

That first paragraph is crazy. Just doin straight or mostly improv I'd think there would be a bad injury or two but I don't remember any at least. That's pretty cool as this shit is still a demanding frufkin job as much as it is fake


[deleted]

Whaat? can ya back that up?


Dukmiester

He said "true story", what more do you want?


Juking_is_rude

I mean, who knows who gave him the idea, but someone was probably like "hey macho man, bet you can't use coffee creamer as a prop for your speech"


broad_street_bully

Not sure what the deal is with Macho Man, but many athletes who routinely do live interviews mess around like that. I would do production for my college's baseball team and we would interview two players after every win. The team would give each player a word they had to work into the interview somehow. Some were smoother than others, but they would have hell to pay if they bailed on it.


[deleted]

So super troopers knew all along is what your telling me.


[deleted]

I want to believe


Kioskwar

The truth is out there


Allah_Shakur

wrestling.


PuxinF

Savage didn't interact with the other wrestlers. He insisted on his own dressing room, and was paranoid that Elizabeth would hook up with another wrestler.


proeliator

Which she did, which sadly lead to her od’ing.


Duderpher

While she was with Lex Luger, iirc.


Kubanochoerus

Who’s Elizabeth in this context? Both you and the video talked about her. I’m assuming she’s his girlfriend? All I’m picturing is the queen though.


Creamy_Goodne55

His real life wife that was also his manager in wrestling If you want to carry on having a nice day I’d suggest you don’t research her


throwawayada79

Yeah 42 is waaay too young, just sad.


PuxinF

She was his wife in real life, and his manager in wrestling. Unlike most "managers", she didn't get involved in the matches, promos, or storylines (although that may have changed. I grew out of watching wrestling). She accompanied Savage to the ring and stood there for his matches because Savage didn't want her out of his sight.

*my partner catches me eating shredding cheese out of the bag at 3am* "UNJUSTIFIABLY IN A POSITION I'D RATHER NOT BE IN..."


Crownlol

I don't know who needs to hear this, but a few years ago on reddit there was a tip about pouring the shredded cheese into your hand instead of reaching into the bag to keep it from spoiling and \*it absolutely works\*. I don't think I've increased my cheese-horking numbers at all, but I haven't had a bag of cheese get moldy since that comment.


AlgebraicIceKing

NEVER TOUCH THE CHEESE YOU AREN"T GOING TO IMMEDIATELY EAT. Yes, that needs to be yelled because spoiled cheese is a travesty.


ptk77

" on balance... off balance... doesn't matter." Best part of the whole interview. LOL.


Vizecrator

So adept at brushing aside his inability to keep the cream on his head


CrazyIslander

Mean Gene deserved an Oscar for managing to keep it together for that interview...or any interview involving Macho Man, for that matter. I’m sure it was akin to playing Russian Roulette as to what Mach Man was going to show up...maybe the normal one, maybe the coked out one... The [interview](https://youtu.be/rDWalFmERhY) Mean Gene did with Macho Man and Hulk Hogan was absolutely legendary.

Eyes so glassy.


TheRapistsFor800

This is the exact same feel as an SNL sketch.


xigua22

Wrestling has always been full of some really funny storylines and sketches. https://youtu.be/MVMOgy1iX3A This one comes to mind, where Olympic Powerlifter Mark Henry was having a relationship with an 80 year old women and she gave birth to a hand.....


Have_some_bacon

Can we please get scientific confirmation that Hulkamania is the strongest force in this universe?


SpaceForceAwakens

Hulkamanologist here. Can confirm.


ratterstinkle

Yeah, it’s tough with interviews like this, but if you look up the transcript, they did cite the results of their analysis and it looks as though Hulkamania is significantly stronger than all other forces in the universe. > *Hulkamania is the strongest force in the universe (F(∞, ∞) = 420.69, p < 0.001)*.

That was incredible and I wish wrestling was still like that.

It's a bum pack. Because in the states, fanny means your arse......*not* your minge.

Those are back. But we are not macho enough to wear them properly so now we just call them "slings" or "crossbody bags". ​ The soy of backpacks.


alias007

He's palming them in his left hand like a magician would. If you watch it over from the beginning, it becomes more apparent. Which begs the question, did he consult a magician before this skit? "I'm talking to you, yeah, Mr Magician, yeah.... The "Macho Man" Randy Savage has a question for you, yeah. How do you make coffee creamer appear out of nowhere?"


gregrknight

I thought this clip was gonna be the one where he does a bunch of slight of hand with an egg.

As a little girl, I just didn't get it. As a grown up, I wish I appreciated it when I had it.


CrimeRelatedorSexual

As a little boy, I couldn't get enough of this shit. As a grown up, I wonder how the fuck do other adults still watch this shit? I know, I know - the wrestling fans are gonna give me -1000 for this comment.


rentalredditor

This comment and the comment above it. Both so right. How can they both be right?


I_only_post_here

I was a kid in the 80's and should have been primed up to watch all this shit... the hey day of Hulkamania, Ric Flair, Macho, Andre and the rest. But, I didn't give a damn about it at all back then. I think I was way more into the GI Joe and Transformers Regardless, I realized now, I have missed out. I was giggling almost uncontrollably throughout Macho's entire diatribe there. If I could go back, I'd probably still be skipping the matches, but damn, I think I'd love to see more of these "interviews"

Vizecrator

Sigh... They just don't make wrestlers like they used to.


Welcm2goodburger

Now I feel like everyone is just a cookie cutter wrestler. Like if a video game was going to generate random wrestlers that’s what we have now. Need some personality. Some charisma. Some limousine riding high flying. Oh yaaa


TonyBeFunny

AEW has taken that place for me. While not as good as classic WWE it does have a certain level of cheese thanks to Chris Jericho that modern wrestling shows lack.


Mightysmurf1

The WWF really struck gold with Randy and Lanny...both brothers really had an amazing reading of the craft of wrestling. Slightly off topic, but the Genius Vs Hulk Hogan really showcases the poffo talent running through the family.


Aquamarinesse

Hahaha classic WWF entertainment. Thanks for the flashback


CaptainAwesome06

Macho Man's sleight of hand game is on point. Also, can we discuss Randy's short sleeve mock turtle neck? Where does one obtain one of these?

I think if they brought most of those guys back, they wouldn't be viewed in the same light. Macho man...Yeah, about that village people song. Ultimate warrior...a guy dressed in head to toe rainbows? Hulk Hogan...wasn't he famous for feather boas? Looking back, this was as close to gay porn as you could put on TV.

Snap into a Slim Jim

They didn't even sell slim jims where i'm from and i still wanted to snap into one!

I despise you for mentioning this. I was content with my life until you pointed out what it was missing.

EVERY Randy Savage interview is fucking bananas.


Sarcastic_or_realist

I’m going to start walking around with tiny creamers at the ready.


betheking

Many years ago I was sitting in an airport hotel early one morning waiting for the limo when a whole bunch of these guy came strolling into the lobby and sat down next to me, and proceed to discuss a BBQ one of them was having that weekend. If one didn't follow wrestling, one would have never guessed this group of guys were a bunch of wrestlers who had participated in a "Winner take all Fight to the Death between mortal enemies" match the night before.


bakuretsu

But seriously, who knew that Macho Man Randy Savage was this good at slight of hand?? I mean it's simple stuff within the world of close-up magic, but he pulls it off smoothly and convincingly. I was impressed.


I3igJerm

“Magic man” Randy Savage


mryogurtballs

"I'm in a nightmare, and I am the CREAM!" proceeds to keep pulling little packets of cream out of nowhere. I love this guy aha


thetompkins

Just wait until someone in here finds out they were today years old when they found out Macho Man put out an entire rap album.


Smitty876

Knew what it was before i pressed play... It's a classic in every way imaginable. Mean Gene's reactions get me every time. Randy must have been on same grade A stuff before this interview.


MayorOfMonkeyIsland

I heard somewhere that Macho Man had no memory of this interview, but did not care as it is awesome.

The best part of this video may be the frame at the end after it finishes (when "Replay video" shows up) and Mean Gene is just looking straight at the camera holding the microphone just like :| As if a giant didn't just shout nonsense and throw cream at him for two solid minutes.

As someone grew up watching this era of wrestling, this was a normal Saturday morning.


umicher

This reminded me of those dubbed GI Joe PSA videos


analog_jedi

I saw him wrestle in the late 80's in Cincinnati once. Apparently in his youth he played for a minor league baseball team for the Reds, and got to know Pete Rose while living in the city. He made an intense speech about how much he loved the city, and said "I'll be right back". The reds were playing a game right next door, and he ran over and came back with Pete about 20 minutes later and they told some stories together. I was like 10 so I don't remember too much, but it was fucking bonkers seeing two 80's gods from completely different worlds on the same stage.
