Captain Splendid's Journal: This will be the Randy Savage Memorial thread, then.

Because apparently none of the rest of you savages have a soul.

Someone on another site made the valid point that, without Hulk Hogan, the Macho Man would probably have been the "It" guy for the 80's WWF.

Mind you, I was a "Rowdy" Roddy Piper guy from the get go. And this was before They Live. Go figure.

Sorry

Too busy praying for Zsa Zsa... and waddaya know.. she woke up!

BTW, as "The Greatest Drunk on Earth", André the Giant kicked everybody's ass..

While I will not question your analysis as I was never more than a casual fan, in terms of more mainstream recognition, after Hulk and Andre the Giant, Macho Man was the most well-known of the 80s wrestlers, no?

That's my point - never heard of some of these guys, and can barely remember the rest.

80s "Wrasslers"

Grew up near where Piper did, truly enjoyed most of the 80s stars - Randy was a more entertaining talker, but for absolute awesomeness, Sid Justice and Ultimate Warrior were the guys...
