Line #8 Awesome/RandySavage


1	* His show-stealing match with [[Wrestling/RickySteamboat Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat]] at ''Wrestling/WrestleMania 3'' for the Intercontinental Championship. As in one-of-the-greatest-matches-of-all-time show-stealing. And this was at the same event as the legendary [[Wrestling/HulkHogan Hogan]] vs [[Wrestling/AndreTheGiant Andre]] match.
2	** This is arguably more impressive when you learn that the pair had meticulously planned the match a month in advance, in an industry where "on the fly" spots are more used.
3	** The promo he delivers beforehand was pure awesome too. "History beckons the Macho Man", indeed.
4	* Beating Butch Reed, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, One Man Gang, And The "Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase in one night to win the WWE title at [=WrestleMania=] IV for the first time.
5	** Especially awesome considering that he actually faced all four of his opponents. Wrestling/TheOneManGang got a BYE round due to Wrestling/RickRude and Wrestling/JakeRoberts fighting until the time limit, and Dibiase got a BYE round after Wrestling/AndreTheGiant and Wrestling/HulkHogan got eachother disqualified.
6	* Beating Wrestling/RicFlair at ''[=WrestleMania=] VIII'' to win the WWE Championship for a 2nd time is up there, too.
7	* His [[CombatPragmatist incredibly savvy method]] of winning his stipulation match against Crush at ''[=WrestleMania=] X'': he strung him up to a coat rack after pinning him in a modified Falls Count Anywhere match so he couldn't make it back to the ring before the count of 60. Crush's struggling when he came to resulted in this becoming a [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Crowning Moment of Funny]], to boot.
8	* Saving Wrestling/MartyJannetty from being arrested after he had a ''nasty'' brawl with Wrestling/ShawnMichaels by convincing the police officers that the whole fight was part of a wrestling angle.
9	* His Slim Jim commercials. Many of them involved a DynamicEntry, mixed with IncomingHam that really sells the product as exciting.
10	* According to Wrestling/ChrisJericho, technical issues during a WCW event meant that a tag team match between Wrestling/KevinNash and Wrestling/ScottHall vs. Savage and Wrestling/{{Sting}} would not have any entrance music for either team. Nash and Hall refused to go out to the ring with no music, but Savage went out first, saying "I don't give a shit if there's music or not, I'm going to the ring!" forcing the match to take place.
11	* Savage's FaceHeelTurn on Hogan in 1989 is a ''villainous'' moment of awesome, from walking out on Hogan during a match with the Twin Towers, to TheReasonYouSuckSpeech in the emergency room in the back, featuring the famous line ''"Those eyes lust [[Wrestling/MissElizabeth Elizabeth]]!!!"'' to Savage absolutely pounding the shit out of Hogan ''right in front of her.'' The intensity - not to mention the build to this moment - made this one of the most famous heel turns of all time.
12	** The promo he did for ''Wrestling/WrestleMania V'', where he calls out Hogan for this, along with his grandstanding and hotdogging, is full of anger and intensity that really sells the angle, culminating in Savage telling that he hates Hogan's guts and that that's all that's going to be left of Hogan when he's done with him.
13	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX8TVGY3sCU The moment we thought would never come.]]
14	** To truly put this one into perspective: A lot of casual fans were more surprised by the fact that Savage was only ''just'' being inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2015. He was so integral to wrestling history as a whole that people everywhere just assumed he'd already been inducted years before [[note]]the FleetingDemographicRule is a major factor here, for those who are wondering how this happened[[/note]].
15	* When Wrestling/ShawnMichaels and [[Wrestling/ScottHall Razor Ramon]] went on for too long with their ladder match at ''Wrestling/WrestleMania X'' (i.e. deliberately ignoring the referee's cues to end the match), it caused a 10-man tag team match to be bumped from the card. Despite not being part of the cancelled match, Savage confronted Michaels and Razor when they came backstage and yelled at them for being unprofessional and costing the 10 guys a Wrestlemania payday.
16	* He got to beat up [[Film/SpiderMan1 Spider-Man]]! How many wrestlers can say that? [[Wrestling/{{Batista}} Drax]] [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar didn't even lay a hand on Spidey]]!
17	* His promo against Wrestling/JakeRoberts after Jake slapped Elizabeth. The entire promo is filled with UnstoppableRage, ItsPersonal, and ItHasOnlyJustBegun, with Savage promising to get {{Revenge}} and show Jake just how dark he can get.
