10 Wrestling Promos That Were Inadvertently Infamous
5. Stifled Savage
Vince McMahon looked (and presumably felt) genuinely devastated to report the news on the November 7th 1994 edition of Monday Night Raw that regular broadcast partner Randy Savage was not only absent from the show but gone from his company for good. The former two-time WWE Champion had surprisingly made the jump to WCW, joining Hulk Hogan and other former McMahon talents that were finding new opportunities under the employ of Eric Bischoff's reimagined Atlanta outfit.
Forging ahead with a muddled 'New Generation' youth movement, McMahon believed Randy was past his prime as a performer but capable as one of the voices of his show. A prideful Macho Man disagreed, and astonishingly said as much during his last ever broadcast on the flagship show.
After being calmed by McMahon following a physical involvement in a Lex Luger/Bob Backlund clash earlier that night, a hassled Savage noted with frustration that “the hardest part of the job is sitting in this chair. I’m tired of sitting.” He'd talked thousands into buildings over the years, but this was perhaps his most poignant mini-promo. It was his last cry for help, and his last to go unheard.
