Some of you may ask, why is the Macho Man so important? Why is he a big deal in the news? Not only he is a favorite in the wrestling industry, he is also a favorite to a lot of non-wrestling fans as well. The Macho Man is a great actor, entertainer and live performer. He is the king of making memorable catchphrases that everyone can impersonate. He can make memorable catchphrases more than any other wrestler out there. He was also a phenomenal wrestler and a great bodybuilder. He had an amazing physique. He was still in great shape even in his 50’s. He was a very lean and muscular guy.

He is an inspiration to people of all ages, from children to adults. Why? Simply because, he is a love-able person. People are interested in his image. The full bearded look, sunglasses, long hair, and bandanna. He was also funny and entertaining. People also loved the clothes he wore when he performed in the ring.

In my opinion, it was the Macho Man that made professional wrestling mainstream, not Hulk Hogan. Many wrestlers over the years became wrestlers because of Macho Man. If there was no Macho Man, there would be no Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair or the Ultimate Warrior. Randy Savage means a lot to so many people. He was a hero, not just in the wrestling industry, Randy Savage was a hero to everyone in the world.

You would see Macho Man everywhere you go. I’m also sure you would hear at least one person say, “Ooooh yeeeeeahhh”, which is the most impersonated catchphrase. Macho Man was the king of the entertainment industry. The Slim Jim commercials and made a few cameos for a few films.

Lets hope Vince McMahon will let Macho Man in the Hall of Fame next year. I still can’t believe he’s gone. I’ve been a die hard Macho Man fan, for years. He did what he did, because loved to entertain people. He liked to make people smile and laugh, that’s what he did this for. He was one of the best entertainers in the world and no one could top him ever.

He maybe gone but the wrestling industry needs to keep his legacy alive by letting him in the Hall of Fame, release more Macho Man DVD’s, action figures, etc. Anything to keep him remembered. Yes, the wrestling industry lost a lot of legendary wrestlers over the years such as Eddie Guerrero and more. Macho Man was special and he’s gonna be missed.

In his honor, I plan to watch the Macho Man 3 disc DVD set this weekend.
