Mean Gene Okerlund:
All right, I want to take the opportunity of talking to a man that certainly has... well, we've seen some tremendous changes come over this man.
I think it really all started out at WrestleMania III.
He is a former Intercontinental Champion from Sarasota, Florida, and certainly one of the great ones today in the World Wrestling Federation.
"Macho Man" Randy Savage, come on in.
A lot of things happening in your life, and I wonder if we could talk--
Randy Savage:
Let's not go through everything, now Mean Gene.
Mean Gene Okerlund:
We talk about everything on this program.
Randy Savage:
Talk about everything, huh? Put me on the spot right here.
"This is your life, 'Macho Man' Randy Savage," yeah.
Just, uh, just, uh, just, uh, just take it easy, yeah, and possibly I'll do the same.
Yeah, in return.
Yeah, to everyone.
Yeah, the people that are coming against the Macho Man Randy Savage for whatever reason.
Greed, yeah.
Reputation, yeah.
I've got the reputation, and people sometimes want to cut me down.
That's not gonna happen.
Not without a fight.
Mean Gene Okerlund:
You know, "Macho Man," just a week or ten days ago, I happened to run into you and your manager Elizabeth at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago.
And in talking with Elizabeth...
Randy Savage:
I don't remember, uh, running into you in the airport, right there.
Mean Gene Okerlund:
I think you might have been up at the news stand, but anyway, I was talking to Elizabeth, and we concur on one thing:
That "Macho Man," over the past few months, you have acquired something new.
It's kind of an intangible.
Randy Savage:
Like what?
Mean Gene Okerlund:
Spunk! Spunk! That would be it.
Randy Savage:
Spunk.
That's it right there.
Elizabeth said that too right there, huh?
Mean Gene Okerlund:
She did.
Randy Savage:
A-ha! Yeah.
I think I have.
I think I've become more spunky, type of thing.
Yeah!
I think that I got a little bit more spunk than probably I used to have.
In fact, all-time record high, big-time jubilee.
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
I think I'm more spunky than I used to be.
A lot of people say, "Do something."
Yeah.
Even if it's wrong, or even if it's right.
"But stay spunky."
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Mean Gene Okerlund:
Well, if your manager says it, I've got to believe it's true.
If anybody would know, Elizabeth would.
Randy Savage:
I was at the news stand?
Where? In the airport?
Mean Gene Okerlund:
O'Hare Airport in Chicago.
I think it was maybe six or seven days ago.
Randy Savage:
Well, it's out of line like that, yeah.
I'm gonna be thinking about that with the microscope.
Oh, yeah.
You don't want me putting you in the Danger Zone.
Mean Gene Okerlund:
Oh, no, no.
Randy Savage:
Either do you, Honky Tonk Man.
Either do you, King Kong Bundy.
Either do you, anybody in the World Wrestling Federation.
Because I am the wrestler of the future, yeah.
I'm the wrestler of the present.
I'm even the wrestler of the past.
I'm the wrestler's wrestler.
YEAH!
And I am one other thing, Mean Gene Okerlund.
Spunky.
Mean Gene Okerlund:
Spunky.
Randy Savage:
Really, really spunky.
Yeah!
In fact, I don't think I can stop being spunky.
Yeah!
Mean Gene Okerlund:
All right.
He is Randy "Spunky" "Macho Man" Savage.
I thank you very much.
He's a great one.
