Professional Wrestling Promo Of the Week: Macho Man Randy Savage and the Cream of the Crop

I've decided that every Friday I'm going to post a little thing I like to call the Professional Wrestling Promo of the Week.

It's almost unfair to all the other professional wrestlers both past and present to start with Randy Savage but who cares? They're not Randy Savage, so screw those guys. "Cream of the crop" is the quintessential Macho Man promo and one of my favorite ever. It's completely insane. He's like a loaded high tension spring just waiting to explode. Near the end just when you think he's about to really go off he just ends it and walks away. It's so perfect.

Where does he keep getting those cream packets?

Dead Wrestler of the Week: Macho Man Randy Savage. Deadspin's the Masked Man has the best obit for the Macho Man I've seen so far.

The Dugout: I'll Miss You, Macho Man. In a less serious tribute, The new editor at WithLeather.com, Brandon Stroud, recaps the conversation between Macho Ghost and Ozzie Guillen.

George Steele on why Savage and McMahon had heat. Hopefully this squashes the rumors that he got busy with an underage Stephanie McMahon. BTW, who had George the Animal Steele outliving Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth?

Everyone at Wrestlemania VII is dead. Ok so not everyone is dead, but over a quarter of the performers who wrestled at Mania VII are. I'm starting to think there's a problem here.

Randy and Gene, best friends forever

Randy Savage cut a lot of good promos in his 20+ year wrestling career but none were as good as the ones he did with Mene Gene Okerlund. Their chemistry was really amazing. Mene Gene should have won an emmy for being able to stay straight faced while Macho Man kept pulling creamer packets from seemingly nowhere.

I know this is 11 minutes long, but it's worth every second.

The list of wrestlers who've died young is starting to get ridiculous. It's bad enough we've lost Mr Perfect and Rick Rude but now Randy Savage? Somewhere in heaven God's putting together the greatest heel stable ever.
