Ok, let's say that Vince and the Macho Man did not hate each other, and all things were rosy.
How old is the Macho Man now? Could he really compete anymore at a high level?
Would he be as bad in the ring as Vader was in 05, Flair in 07/08, and all of the other wrestling stars that just don't know when to stop.
Does anyone know if Macho Man has wrestled in any fed anywhere recently? If so, how about a YouTube vid?
I loved the Macho Man. And no, my name is MysticalHamster, not Stephanie.

He was in TNA a few years ago.
I remember him looking alright at that time.

According to OWW, he just turned 54. He lasted "wrestled" (if you call running in at the end of a match and rolling someone up wrestling) in a match in TNA 2004 and looked horrible, IMO.
Also from OWW: # January 2005: Randy Savage appeared at several WLW shows and took park in several training sessions with Race's students..
# ~~~Savage apparently got a little too involved and took a bad bump and injured his back when he landed badly..
# February 18, 2005: Randy Savage told a Missouri newspaper that he can't wrestle right now because of "health concerns"..
# June 2005: Randy Savage has stopped taking bookings since he hurt his back working for Harley Race's WLW promotion..
# ~~~Reports have circulated that he has dropped a lot of weight and shaved his beard, making him unrecognizable..

I just assumed he quit wrestling to focus on his rap career.

Would he be as bad in the ring as Vader was in 05, Flair in 07/08, How was your trip back from the future?

Flair's been pretty good this year. I mean '06 was probably his last year as being able to do the things he did in '06 is all but super human and crazy.
I don't want Macho the wrestler. I just want a classic Macho Promo, followed by him shilling his DVD.
that's all I'd want.
Especially if it's a promo with Macho Man and Chris Jericho.

ilidude, are you honestly claiming that Flair will actually regain back most of his skills next year? You don't need a time machine to know that Flair is not getting any younger, and there is no way he could be better in 08 than 07, 06, etc.

You don't need a time machine to know that Flair is not getting any younger, and there is no way he could be better in 08 than 07, 06, etc. Or how about a "repeat" of what Mr. Perfect did when he was in the Royal Rumble back in 2002? He was one of the last three that was in it at the end, why not have Savage make a "surprise" return at one of the big four.

I love Mach. He's one of those guys was that was so much larger than life he became real somewhere along the way. From the Mega Powers to the Slim Jim ads to Spiderman ; I've loved it all.

# ~~~Reports have circulated that he has dropped a lot of weight and shaved his beard, making him unrecognizable.. He probably looked like Lanny Poffo when he did this. "The Gazelle Twins" as they were known.

Sadly, I missed Savage at those WLW shows. He was booked for one in the next town over, but he got injured before it and canceled, so I didn't go. I don't know if he's wrestled since. He's grown his beard back since '05, and didn't dye it for a long time(all those white beard savage photos). I think he's dying it again now though, and is back in shape. He'll be on The Surreal Life this year, so he'll be back in the public eye. Maybe he'll return to wrestling after that.

An in-ring promo about a DVD/Hall of Fame announcement is all I needs to see. Dig it.
