Roll Up Ep 10 - Legends Spotlight: "Macho Man" Randy Savage

[Sam Fain]

We are continuing to experiment with brand new features and segments and this week we bring you our very first Legends Spotlight. On the 10th anniversary of his passing, we do a deep dive on "Macho Man" Randy Savage's career - the beginning, baseball, his father, Memphis, his legendary WWF run, the WCW feuds, and, of course, the end. Plus, we talk about our favorite matches, favorite promos, and what other Legends of Wrestling stars he crossed paths with.

Of course, we also bring you our opening bell to discuss the latest teasers for upcoming releases and devote a little time to remember the recently passed New Jack and Don Kernodle.

Part way through and I liked the New Jack talk. Also so far the spotlight has been interesting!

[WTIC]

"Cuppa Coffee"!

Where did I hear THAT before? LOL!

My favorite LOW wrestler!

I wore my Macho Man shirt 4 days ago on Sunday when I met Madusa (who was in Team Madness) at the mall where she was doing a meet and greet for the sports card shop and she signed her picture in my WWE Encyclopedia and she talked to me a little about her time in WCW with Randy Savage.

Tonight I am going to the movies to see Army of the Dead, but I will definitely listen to this episode (I have not missed an episode of Roll Up yet) this weekend.

Really enjoy the stories on how the Poffo family was signed and speculation on 'If' there was another Macho card. Understood that there would probably only be minor changes for different era's of Macho, but come on Macho King could introduce some cool DQ/scepter moves and possibly a Queen Sherri update card w/ an interference chart or have a duo of the two for the card on their throne could add some fun novelty.

Sam, the original Savage B and W card had a -1 power...the color card did have 0.

Was a very fun listen otherwise.

Thanks for the correction, Troy! I had the original color in front of me at the time and didn't recall the B&W was different - I assumed it wasn't.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
