A simple tweet from Homage t-shirts has led our eyes directly to this incredibly old footage of Randy “Macho Man” Savage doing a promo for ICW. What’s ICW, you might be asking? Who cares. What really matters is that Macho Man was so locked into being Macho Man from the very beginning that I’m pretty sure he was always Macho Man.
From the strange hand gestures, to the slow movements followed by abrupt movements, to the half-spins, to the creepily low whispers that usually led to SHOUTING — it’s truly all there.
If you find yourself in need of knowing what the backstory was here, you’re probably insane. If you already know the backstory here, you’ve probably been hit with a steel chair before. Nonetheless, the dynamic announcing duo sitting in someone’s basement at the beginning of the video has you covered.
I’m still not convinced the guy on the left isn’t Chevy Chase donning a wig and impersonating a seasoned wrestling pointman.
