Dan Soder has hand's down the best Macho Man impression.

I don't know shit about wrestling but that was pretty sick

These promos are rehearsed beforehand right? There's no way this magic just comes out in the moment

Depends on who was cutting the promo. Macho Man was known for coming in and wrecking shit on the fly.

Scott Steiner, the math genius
youtu.be/WFoC3TR5rzI

Macho Man runned on a mix of cocaine and steroids. That shit just came natural to him.

Savage was probably one of the most genuine guys even though most performances he was cruising off a coke binge

Fucking hell what a legend

I totally believe Steiner just improvised this shit right then and there. Guy's a certified genius.

biopic when?

youtube.com/watch?v=ZXtAuYGBY90

No, most are done live. Macho was gold on the mic, no one comes close.

Also, this guy
youtube.com/watch?v=oEIzkLr7JzQ

Arguably the greatest promo of all time.

In Dusty’s era? Fuck no. You were expected to be able to do that shit off the cuff and in your sleep. It was considered part of your craft.
At most they might run it through it a bit their own head a bit a few minutes beforehand but scripted promos didn’t become the norm until the late 90s.

Based vanilla Dan.

Holy fuck this is fucking fire why am i just finding out about it?

Most wrestlers in the WWF didn't like Hulk Hogan, especially Macho Man and Ultimate Warrior. Hogan lusted over Elizabeth and fucked Macho's carreer both in WWF and WCW.

Sad that Randy and Ultimate Warrior are gone and that asshole Hogan is still around.

>8/30/1999

Based. 1999 was when I first started watching wrestling full time. It was truly a golden time to be a wrestling fan. Every single Monday night felt significant and was must-watch tv.

Zoomers simply will not understand what a mainstream phenomenon wrestling was at the time. It was on a level with South Park. Even normies watched it. Nowadays it's only hardcore fans, smarks watching ironically to critique it, pajeets and weirdo autists that watch it.

The funny thing is, if you actually go back and watch the in-ring product, especially the low to midcard, a lot of it was garbage in 1999 but the crowds were so hot and there were so many stars in the main event that no one cared.

Ultimate Warrior was an asshole too. He had really outspoken, backwards, homophobic views. It's weird that the WWE was so embarrassed about Hulk Hogan being secretly filmed being racist but not ashamed about Ultimate Warrior openly saying in public lectures "queering don't make the world work."

It's missing the best of the best

the GOAT

A lot of wrestlers who worked with Hogan don't like him. Oftentimes he would no sell moves, refuse to put talent over, and book matches just to stroke his own ego. And of course, wherever Hogan went, he had to bring his ass kissers along with him, Bubba the love sponge and Brian Knobbs for example. Oh, and who can forget when he tried to shill his daughter's "music" career on all of us.

about half of colombia

the in ring action has always been the least important part. biggest draws in history: dusty, hogan, flair, goldberg, rock, steve austin (wasnt working technical at his peak) and cena; none of them are doing anything fancy, its all in the character. sure theres exceptions like styles, but they use their technicality to accentuate their storytelling ability

todays product, you got a bunch of geeks who spent their formative years getting pushed around by jocks and have no natural charisma. they overcompensate with flippy shit and obscure MMA style holds. back in the late 90s the top guys WERE the jocks

This whole segment was hilarious.

Look at how annoyed he is at having it slip out like that and in interviews he seems to really regret it, and then 20 years later Vince scripts it so he himself drops a "Nigger" right in front of Booker.

randy savage is what alex jones would be like as a wrestler.

And he also wrestled a bunch of countries.

First film set I worked on we quoted this video the entire time. I have yet to find a better wrestlemania video except maybe the one where he says nigga by accident and feels imideiate regret.

He thought they would say something but Hogan told them he was that nigga, so it was cool.

Ahem, that’s “MISTER MCMAHON”
Fun fact: if you watch the whole segment you see at the end that the hamster ends up getting the win clean on Macho Man.
This is why Macho will always be better and more beloved than someone like Hogan: the man had so little ego and was such the consummate professional he was willing to put over a fucking hamster on a major television spot. Name one other top guy with that degree of selflessness.
