It's humanly impossible to cut better promos. The intensity is off the charts. So much of 80's wrestling seems dated.. Macho with this exact persona could have been thrown in ECW, the Attitude era, the ruthless aggression era, even the PG/Cena era and he's a main event superstar

Yeah Macho Man had the greatest mic skills of all time. Probably one of the top 3 of all time when it came to mic skills, ring skills, ability to play a face & a heel, charisma, etc. Really personified pro wrestling during the 1980s probably even more so than Hulk Hogan & Ric Flair.

To be honest, my favorite wrestlers during the 1980s were Macho Man, Jake the Snake, & Mr Perfect.

Baseball career[edit]
Savage was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals organization as a catcher out of high school.[12] He was placed in the minor leagues to develop, where he mostly played as an outfielder[13] in the St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds, and Chicago White Sox farm systems.[4] Savage was 18 when he began playing minor league baseball; one of his teammates on the 1971 Gulf Coast League Cardinals was Larry Herndon who was also his roommate.[12] Savage would swing a bat into a hanging car tire as a regular training exercise in order to strengthen his hands and make sure he utilized his legs during swings, the technique was so effective that Herndon adopted it and used it during his own career as a baseball coach.[12] Savage injured his natural (right) throwing shoulder after a collision at home plate, and he learned to throw with his left arm instead. The team was managed by Jimmy Piersall.[14] Savage's last season was 1974, when he played for the Tampa Tarpons.[13] He played 289 games in four minor league seasons, batting .254 with 16 home runs and 66 RBIs.[12]
