6. "Talkin' About History" - WWF (1986)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB1cV1j0zeA Between Randy Savage proclaiming that "Macho Madness is more seductive than sex," and also subjugating and threatening physical harm against Miss Elizabeth in a manner that could immediately raise a feminist's ire, this promo makes Randy Savage equally cool and terrible at the same time. One of those times where pro wrestling is completely deplorable, it works because Savage makes himself such a serious, yet semi-farcical human being here that defies conventional definitions of humanity.
