WWE Talent Says Randy Savage Gets Left Out Of The ‘GOAT†Conversation Too Often

A WWE talent has stated that “Macho Man†Randy Savage gets left out of the “GOAT†conversation far too often.

There will always be debates among pro wrestling fans about who is the greatest of all time. While names like Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Bret Hart, and John Cena come around very often in that conversation, WWE Pre-show analyst and Evolve commentator Peter Rosenberg thinks Randy Savageâ€s name should also be in the mix.

During his appearance on the Insight with Chris Van Vliet podcast, Peter Rosenberg stated that Randy Savage and Bret Hart were the first two wrestlers he fell in love with. He also said that Savage has been left out of the “GOAT†conversation too often and explained why his name deserves to be in the discussion.

“Savage to me, in some ways, I think gets left out of the GOAT conversation too often. I think Savage was just brilliant. From the second he arrived in WWF, because obviously I hadnâ€t seen him prior to that, to me, he was brand new when he got there. From the second he got there, immediate impact, like just grabbed everyoneâ€s attention, everyone hated him, and then everyone loved him.â€

“When you go back, what makes Macho Man the perfect wrestler was that good guy, I give him 100 as a good guy, as a baby face, awesome. As a heel, clearly 100, thereâ€s maybe nobody better. He was so easy to hate from a wrestling style standpoint, big guy, little guy. Put him in the ring with Ricky Steamboat, whoâ€s not a little guy, but on the smaller side relative to the biggest guys, him and Steamboat have an absolute classic. Put him in the ring with Andre, you know, no problem, gold. You could put him in with anyone and everyone looks good.â€

“In the ring, to me, heâ€s perfect. On the mic, obviously, I wouldnâ€t give him 100 on the mic, because when you look back as funny and, you know, animated as the promos are, I guess they didnâ€t always make a lot of sense. But when he was locked in and trying to deliver a message, completely there.†[H/T Insight with Chris Van Vliet]
