He turned it into something mythological. The belt had a few good champs after him, but the later generations couldn’t come close to doing this kind of a performance.

    Savage and Elizabeth is certainly one of the most interesting wrestler/manager(or valet) combinations ever.

    Growing up huge Macho Man, I have an even higher appreciation for him as an adult passing this stuff on to my kids. He was so intense and over the top the you love him in that stage where you start getting into wrestling, but with the curtain pulled back on the Business, and knowing the intricacies and how things work, he is truly just next level. The GOAT because he had it all: in the ring, out of the ring, doesn't matter- he was better than everybody else. RIP Mach!
