Dead Wrestler Of The Week: “Macho Man” Randy Savage. An excellent overview of the Macho Man’s long career, with lots of YouTube clips. We were big WWF fans as kids. I remember watching that match where Macho Man was getting beat up by the Honky Tonk Man and the Hart Foundation, and Miss Elizabeth getting knocked down, and her then running back to the dressing room. And I got chills all over again when Hulk Hogan came running out to Macho Man’s rescue and Hulked out all over the place. Yeah, it was all a bit 80’s and silly, but that was some serious myth-making in action too.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

I just lost 2 hours of my life playing on youtube & pretending I was 10 again.
I know! I am surprised by the amount of this stuff still lodged in my brain. I remembered every minute of that match, including the fateful handshake at the end. So weird.
