As ostentatious as it was vicious, Randy Savage didn’t have to leap from the ring all the way to the floor with his opponent’s head in his grasp, but he didn’t have to dress or cut promos the way he did either. Randy Savage did things only Randy Savage would, partially out of paranoia, but also out of an immense desire to be the one and only ‘Macho Man’ wrestling could manage.

Savage liked damaging throats with his offence, perhaps in an effort to take away one of the weapons some of his peers shared. He did everything with speed and intensity too, so combining all of his skills for one fittingly spectacular spot made something ostensibly nonsensical make all the sense in the world.

The move left his opponents writhing in the ring, but him on the floor with his people too - a perfect ending regardless of if he was screaming at them as a heel or bonding like few others while working as a face.
