10 Reasons Macho Man Randy Savage Must Be Inducted To WWE Hall Of Fame 2015

8. He Gave Everything To The Company...

Randy Savage literally gave everything there was to give to the WWE. At one time, he even allowed a snake to bite him during an angle, an act that left him with a soaring temperature and a serious illness. In addition to being responsible for some pretty hefty gate receipts (in fact, some of the WWE€™s best numbers ever, in all likelihood), Savage was able to occupy a space just below Hogan as the WWE€™s second biggest star. This meant that the Macho Man travelled an insane amount of miles, frequently worked when hurt and was consistently used as one of the company€™s most visible stars, something which required even more willpower and work ethic then than it does today. As if that wasn€™t enough, Savage usually had the best match on the card, but even when Vince McMahon had wanted him to step away from in-ring competition and towards the announcing team, Savage had accepted his new spot and adapted to it with professionalism, pride and gusto. He worked everywhere and anywhere, in any situation he was asked to work. When beloved by the fans, he had no misgivings about throwing it all away to become a nasty, spiteful heel, when successfully over as a heel, he happily gave it up to become a babyface again. You can€™t train men like that, its either inbuilt or it isn€™t. Randy Savage may have been at odds with the WWE at the time of his death, but he was much more professional and far less self-serving than now-deified names like Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair ever were. In a very real sense, the €˜Macho Man€™, along with contemporaries like Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, Jake €˜The Snake€™ Roberts and others still, made pro wrestling what it is today by putting the WWE on the map with authority.
