youtube.com/watch?v=Jx4GjIPTEvUI mean a lot of his promos were just about as nonsensical as his. Also he even had his own website for a while where he went a step beyond Warrior and actually made videos of his crazy ranting. The only reason I can figure as to why we don't have more Macho Man ranting is he doesn't feel like shooting out two bible-length rants a week. I still like him and everything, but geez and once again I blame this guy

I think his intensity would still translate to fans today. Some of the promos might not make alot of sense, but the fans would still buy the charisma, the look, and the intensity. It's the same reason Sid doesn't get the same ammount of crap as the Warrior these days. I think they'd just laugh at the Warrior today.
And yeah, one of the best ever to lace up the boots and step in the ring. Awesome matches. Every night. Helps alot.

To me, Warrior just looks crazy when he's ranting and raving about nonsense. But, Macho Man doesn't.

I love Macho's promos, Warrior just stood there screaming all sorts of crap, though it was amusing that's for sure.

Macho Man isn't acknowledged by Wrestlecrap because of that thing that happened between Macho Man and Mrs. Deal back in 1988.

1) Macho has seemed to be a hell of a lot more dedicated to wrestling than Warrior. Even if he has stopped appearing as often, he wrestled for consistent periods of time and through a handful of variations on his gimmick (unlike Warrior, who has been the same since day 1 of the ULTIMATE WAR-YAH) 2) Macho can put on great matches sometimes and is known for really caring about his product. 3) Personally, Warrior seems like the cool uncle you thought was the best as a kid but then you realized that he was an asshole when you got older whereas Macho seems like the weird uncle that talks to himself but you will always have great memories of that won't be ruined.
etc etc

you can have pics of drugs as your sig? Its not in my sig, but it does make a damn good advertisement for Visa! Back on topic though his ring ability is unquestionably betterthan Warriors I really don't think either of their promo styles could work today as some have argued in favor of Macho Man. I mean if he did that "sugar and sweet and so is honey" in the middle of a promo today I think it could easily become the equivalent of Cena's "Your acting like a ham sandwich!" Although I could see the "and the beat goes on" becoming a forum fad.

i want to say its because randy poffo IS macho man, he lives the gimmick, from all accounts. kinda hard to kill someone just for being themself.
plus there is something inherently funny about a huge musclehead that cuts crazy or bad promos (lashley, ahmed, batista, all come to mind)

There's a lot of respect for Randy. I even believe that none Macho marks have respect for the guy.
In my experience it was Macho King and Perfect that made heels cool. And I simply cannot bring myself to dislike the guy, no matter what horrible stories I hear.
He's a Hall Of Famer to me damnitt!!!

I think that Savage is still maintaining kayfabe in a lot of those weird rants. Like the one where he talks about beating up Triple H and stealing Stephanie McMahon. I think he just recorded it in character in the hopes that it might stir something up a la Matt Hardy and he could parlay a job out of it. Just a theory, I don't know. I've read and seen interviews with Savage where he seemed to be less in character, and he seems like a perfectly level-headed, nice guy. He's old school as they come, though, so it wouldn't surprise me that he spends a lot of time still in character.

Because of horrible double standards, workrate and political issues.

I remember hearing a while ago that Savage was going to be on the next season of the Surreal Life on VH1. Is that true? That was a while ago that I heard that.

The difference between Macho Man's intensity and Warrior's intensity is that Macho Man didn't need to yell all the time to get it across. Sure, his promos were a little...odd. As were the Warrior's. But I think Macho did it to draw you in to his intensity. You'd be sitting there, listening to his gibberish, afraid to look away for fear of missing something really big, because you knew it was coming.

Because Savage actually cut good promos from time to time. Warrior was just a joke.
