I posted that thread back in March. At the time I gave serious consideration to putting Randy Savage at #1 on the Heels side.
In hindsight after writing this post after his death, I really wish I had.
I did something in that first thread that I hate. I compromised. I tried to purposely be balanced. My two lists in that thread are stupid. I didn't need 2 lists, and I didn't need to be balanced. I needed to be honest.
The truth is, I think I was more entertained by Randy Savage than I remembered at the time. I've been thinking about one thing today as I consider watching TNA to see how they will remember the man. That thought is, "Randy at his best was impossible to overshadow."
He just was. I love how he could be asked a question, and give a non answer in some ways and have me completely entertained.
Have you ever seen the old footage of him on Arsenio Hall's Show? Here are two interviews of Macho at his absolute entertaining best. This is how he was when I met him. Engaging, funny, able to amp you up and get your adrenaline up. When he dropped that comment about Kirsten Dunst live on the air, it was pure joy in that radio station studio.
One reason I really dislike TNA was the guy who was a Macho Man clone a couple of years ago. That absolutely turned me off. Someone will tell me Macho loved it. That's cool. He loved my impersonation of him too. I didn't love it.
However, I can't deny I loved the way this guy could entertain. I hope you watch this and laugh just like I did.

Pure entertainment, and he pulled it off without being vulgar. He was honest about everything, including steroids.
