Savage v. DDP @ the Great American Bash 97! I just watched it again; EXCELLENT chaotic brawl, perfect period piece!

I also love the match he had against La Parka on an episode of Nitro around that time; the one where La Parka was actually DDP in disguise. I still maintain that bc the bout was scheduled as Savage v. La Parka, despite DDP unmasking to reveal himself after hitting the Diamond Cutter, the victory goes down in the history books (or at least mine) that La Parka beat Randy Savage!

There's also one from a Nitro when it's Savage v. Scott Steiner (before Scott joined the nWo). Savage is just being crazy the whole time; at one point he jumps the guard rail and wanders into the crowd, then jumps back over from a different spot in the crowd and manages to jump Steiner (it showed both Mach's psychosis AND Steiner's meat-headed-ness, lol). GREAT stuff.

I remember the night he showed back up in WCW after Hogan turned on him and WCW. Savage just sat in the ring with a chair and refused to move until Hogan (or Bischof?) came out and explained themselves. "I've been blackballed" he said several times, and he beat down anyone who came out to try and stop him...until Sting came down....

Savage truly is/was my FIRST favorite wrestler; I didn't like another wrestler as much as I liked Savage until Chris Beniot and Booker T began feuding for the TV Title. My first wrestling action figures I picked out were the Macho Man from Mattel (the one that did the Drop Kick) and a Macho King Wrestling Buddy (who was the ONLY doll-like toy I EVER actually played with; the only thing bigger than the Mattel figures). I think Slim Jims were the first thing I ever consciously bought for the endorsement. No matter what the did, how silly they looked or sounded doing it, Charles Barkley, Terry Funk, Roddy Piper, and Randy Savage are INFALLIBLE in my eyes. They always manage to make whatever they're involved with -that I'm watching- BETTER.

R.I.P. Mach, the Madness shall live on!

Macho Man vs. Flair without a doubt! The crowd was behind it, Flair was busted open, it was magic
