tumblrOK, so this might be the most anti-climatic list youll read this week, and sure, the real race was to see who was #2. But you cant do a list about elbow drops and not put Randy Savage at the top of the list. If you ranked him any lower, you would be lying.From the moment he entered the WWE in 1985, Macho Man was truly something special. He captured the Intercontinental Championship (which back then really meant something) in less than a year, then would go on to hold it for 13 months before losing it to Ricky The Dragon Steamboat in their WrestleMania III classic. It wasnt long before the cheers began getting loud enough that Savage couldnt stay a bad guy any longer, and he was on his way to becoming a fan-favorite champ at WrestleMania IV. All the while, Savage used his diving elbow drop to dominate opponents. It didnt matter who it was (as long as it wasnt Hogan or Warrior, apparently), if Macho Man hit you with an elbow drop, the match was over. Everything about the move was beautiful: Savage, decked out in colorful tights and boots, with a gorgeous manager, climbing to the top rope, raising his arms skyward and then leaping in one fluid motion to drop a devastating elbow onto a wrestler.For fans and wrestlers alike, Randy Savages elbow drop is the move that inspired them as kids to leap off their couches or onto their beds and pretend for that one moment that they were a superstar delivering a sternum-crushing elbow. Its a move that will continue to live on, and hopefully with the WWE Network, younger fans can watch 80s and 90s matches and understand why it was a big deal when Punk paid tribute each match.
