The Macho Man in No Man’s Land: Savage’s 1987 Transformation from Heel to Face [Videos]

Macho Man Randy Savage and Mean Gene Okerlund in 1987

By the summer of 1987, Randy “Macho Man” Savage had become one of the most fascinating performers in the WWF. At WrestleMania III, his unforgettable battle with Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat had helped elevate Savage’s reputation as one of the company’s most exciting in-ring performers. He was still an intense, unpredictable heel, but something was beginning to change. The fans were responding to him differently.

That change became even more noticeable after Honky Tonk Man defeated Steamboat for the Intercontinental Championship in June. While Savage remained focused on Hulk Hogan and the WWF Championship, his growing popularity was becoming impossible to ignore. Throughout the summer, Savage continued to work against some of the WWF’s most recognizable villains, including King Harley Race and Butch Reed, while his charisma and remarkable work rate continued to win over audiences.

There was no dramatic night when Randy Savage suddenly became a good guy. Instead, his transformation unfolded gradually, almost naturally. By September, he had won the King of the Ring tournament, defeating one fan favorite and three established heels along the way. His promos with Mean Gene Okerlund became must-see television, with Savage's larger-than-life personality making it increasingly difficult to place him neatly on either side of the good-versus-evil divide.

As Mean Gene would soon observe, Randy Savage had entered what could only be described as a “no man's land.”

One week, he was challenging the enormously popular Hulk Hogan. The next, he was standing across the ring from the newly crowned—and deeply despised—Intercontinental Champion, Honky Tonk Man. And somewhere in between, the Macho Man was slowly becoming a hero.

Through six memorable interviews with Mean Gene Okerlund, we can watch that transformation take place in real time—from the summer of 1987 through the fall, when the direction of Savage's career, and his relationship with the WWF audience, had clearly changed forever. OOOOOOH YEEAAAHHHH!


WWF Wrestling Challenge
July 1987

Mean Gene Okerlund:
All right, there are so many things happening here in the World Wrestling Federation, including the crowning of a new Intercontinental Champion, the Honky Tonk Man. And Jimmy Hart and him, are really delighted. They are partying it up. I don't know if the gal Betty Lou is involved with the party or not.

Come on in, if you would please, "Macho Man" Randy Savage. I don't know if you could be happy about this or not. Honky Tonk becoming the new Intercontinental Champion, and all of a sudden Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat is not.

Randy Savage:
I'm delighted about it. Oh yeah, congratulations. Let me throw my hand right through the videoscope. Yeah, go on, do your reign, do your thing.

But the Macho Man Randy Savage, yeah, understand that I got things in proper perspective now.

Yeah, you're looking at the future of professional wrestling right now. You're looking at the future of the World Wrestling Federation. You're looking at the new World Heavyweight Champion.

Let me repeat myself right there.

I ain't repeating myself! Go ahead. Tell me something right now. Yeah!

Mean Gene Okerlund:
Wait a minute. You're telling me, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, that you're going to be the new Heavyweight Champion of the World?

Don't you think Hulk Hogan has got a little to say about that?

Randy Savage: 
Do you have something to say to Hulk Hogan? Do you have something to say to the Macho Man Randy Savage? Speak your piece right now.

I don't hear nothing, no. I don't hear nothing. 

In fact, I don't think there's nothing that he can say.

Mean Gene Okerlund:
I don't believe he's here...

Mean Gene Okerlund:
Hot and Cold at the same time.

Randy Savage:
...hot and cold at the same time, right there in the middle of the ring at the Horizon, yeah.

Mr. T, you don't know me that well, yeah. You don't know me at all. Uh-huh.

You should be intimidated right now. I don't think you're smart enough to do that yet.

But YOU are gonna be the ONE to count Hulkamania out. One, two, three. Do you understand that?

Ron Krueck. I'm gonna shut him up.

I'm gonna shut up Chet Coppock.

I'm gonna shut up Drew Hayes.

I'm gonna shut them all up.

I'm talking big-time World Heavyweight Champion.

Mean Gene Okerlund:
Can I ask a question, Macho Man?

Randy Savage:
Boy, hit me. I'm hours away from taking the title.

Mean Gene Okerlund:
What about Danny Davis? How come you demanded that Danny Davis be in your corner tonight to watch Mr. T's officiating?

Randy Savage:
Uh-huh, yeah. Nothing's going wrong tonight, yeah.

I'm guaranteeing victory, yeah.

I'm NOT leaving the Horizon without the World Heavyweight Championship belt.

And Danny Davis under my thumb right there, yeah. Don't make a move, man, yeah.

But Mr. T, yeah, the Enforcer, uh-huh, yeah.

Chop a tree and be big-time.

The World Heavyweight Championship belt is gonna be on the Macho Man Randy Savage when I leave the Horizon.

Mean Gene Okerlund:

WWF Superstars of Wrestling
September 1987

Mean Gene Okerlund:
You know, over the many, many years that I've covered professional wrestling, I have seen a lot of changes. A lot of changes in this great sport. And a lot of changes in a number of individuals in professional wrestling.

In the World Wrestling Federation, here is a man that has not only turned it around 180 degrees...

Randy Savage:
180 degrees!

Mean Gene Okerlund:
But he's gone another 360...

Randy Savage:
another 360!

Mean Gene Okerlund:
And then another 180.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage, you have changed over the past couple of months like I cannot believe, sir.

Randy Savage:
I'm a chameleon, yeah!

Mean Gene Okerlund:
A chameleon?

Randy Savage:
Uh huh, yeah! I'm talking about the beat goes on, yeah. And the beat goes on, yeah. And the beat goes on!

In the videoscope, yeah, I am looking right into you right now. Macho Madness right now. Sugar is sweet and so is honey. Macho Madness is on a roll and it can't be stopped, no.

Elizabeth understands what I'm talking about, yeah. Ah ha!

Mean Gene Okerlund:
Why is it, Macho Man, when I sit and talk to you... stand and talk to you, for that matter... that I think of old Sonny and Cher hits? Why is that?

Randy Savage:
Unbelievable. Time distortion. Space is the place, Mean Gene Okerlund.

Go down that lonesome highway, yeah. But don't be hypnotized, no.

Reincarnation doesn't have to be.

You can concentrate and you can, uh...

Mental telepathy, yeah!

Mean Gene Okerlund:
But the beat goes on.

Randy Savage:
But the beat goes on.

Mean Gene Okerlund:
That beat in particular has got to include maybe the Honky Tonk Man, the Intercontinental Champion of the World.

I know you're not getting along real well with members of the Bobby Heenan Family, "Macho Man." Not at all.

Randy Savage:
Let me tell you something right now. Talking about the greatest Intercontinental Champion that ever lived, the Honky Tonk Man is out of line, yeah!

'Cause I am the greatest Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion that ever lived. And I am the greatest professional wrestler that ever lived. And I'm living now, yeah! Right now, uh huh.



WWF Superstars of Wrestling
September 1987

Mean Gene Okerlund:
A man that, well actually he's been operating out of no man's land, over the past few months, "Macho Man" Randy Savage. From the Bobby Heenan Family here at the Boston Garden, October the third, Saturday night, the "Mighty" Hercules.

Randy Savage:
OOH YEAH! I'm talking Yeah! Boston Gardens, and I remember it well, historically, yeah, for the Boston Celtics, but also for the Macho Man Randy Savage. Elizabeth realizes it, yeah, cause a victory celebration at a party one time, yeah! When I took the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship Belt a long time ago, and now October the third, in Boston, yeah, IN BOSTON, 28 DAY BEFORE HALLOWEEN! Yeah, uh huh.

Mean Gene Okerlund:
I, I never thought of that, that's a good thought...28 days...

Randy Savage:
you haven't thought of that, and you haven't thought of what I am thinking right now, have you?!

Mean Gene Okerlund:
What are you thinking right now?

Randy Savage:
(whispers in Mean Gene's ear)



"The Spunky Interviews"
WWF Superstars of Wrestling
October 1987

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.


WWF Classic: Mean Gene Okerlund & Corporal Kirchner Interviews + Bonus Match [Videos]


During the height of the Hulkamania era, the World Wrestling Federation was filled with larger-than-life superstars, colorful gimmicks, and patriotic heroes. One of the more overlooked names from that period was Corporal Kirchner (Michael Penzel), the camouflage-wearing US Army paratrooper who had served in the 82nd Airborne Division and marched to the ring waving the American flag. While Penzel started in the WWF as a jobber in 1984, he really got his opportunity to shine as a pro wrestler when he took on the gimmick of Corporal Kirchner.

While he was never pushed as a main-event attraction, for approximately two years from August 1985 to July 1987, Corporal Kirchner became a familiar face to WWF fans through his appearances on syndicated wrestling programs, his LJN action figures, his energetic squash matches, and his interview segments with the legendary Mean Gene Okerlund.

For longtime wrestling fans, revisiting performers like Corporal Kirchner is part of the fun of exploring wrestling history. Not every wrestler from the Hulkamania era became a global superstar, but many played important supporting roles that helped shape the atmosphere and identity of WWF television during the 1980s.

Perhaps the most surprising part of Kirchner’s pro wrestling story came later, when few could have predicted that the flag-waving Corporal Kirchner of the WWF would later reinvent himself as the horrifying Leatherface in Japan’s hardcore wrestling scene.

LJN Wrestling Superstars: The WWF Wrestling Figures of the 1980s [Videos]



Growing up in the 1980s, few toys captured the excitement of professional wrestling quite like LJN Wrestling Superstars. Long before highly detailed collectibles and endless articulation points became the standard, these oversized rubber figures ruled toy aisles and bedroom floor main events across America. Featuring many of the biggest WWF stars of the era—from Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage to Jake "The Snake" Roberts and The Hart Foundation—LJN figures felt larger than life.

But the LJN line was more than just a collection of toys—it became a snapshot of the WWF's explosive rise during the Rock ’n’ Wrestling era. Between 1984 and 1988, five series of figures were released in the United States by LJN, capturing the changing landscape of the WWF roster as new stars arrived and legends emerged. Then, after LJN’s run came to an end, one final chapter remained: a last series released in Canada in 1989 by another company, giving fans one more chance to add a few final superstars to the toy box.

Whether they stood proudly on bedroom shelves or battled for tiny plastic championships, LJN Wrestling Superstars became more than action figures—they became many fans’ first true wrestling collection.

Decades later, in 2025, WWE helped bring the spirit of Wrestling Superstars back to a new generation by reintroducing retro-style figures inspired by the classic LJN designs. From toy store shelves in the 1980s to collector displays decades later, LJN Wrestling Superstars continue proving that legends never truly retire—they just make another entrance.

Commentary:  Vince McMahon and Roddy Piper
Result: Power & Glory defeat The Rockers









🔄 Aftermath & Legacy

This match showed Marty Jannetty had solid ring ability, as he faced two-on-one for the entire match.
At Survivor Series 1990, Paul Roma’s PowerPlex helped eliminate Michaels again—keeping the feud thread alive! The Rockers were more established as a tag team, so this was a BIG victory for Power & Glory.

Power & Glory would face the Rockers a few more times on the house show circuit, with the Rockers earning a notable win during a WWF tour of Japan in 1991—a small but satisfying measure of revenge.

Shawn Michaels, despite the injury angle, would go on to become one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all time, redefining what a main eventer could be.
Roma would eventually make a surprising move to WCW and even earn a controversial spot in The Four Horsemen, while Hercules and Jannetty—both respected by fans—would fade into more transitional roles by the mid-‘90s.
This match, however, stands as a key turning point for both teams and an early glimpse into the fire that would launch Michaels into superstardom.

🔢 PWR Rating: 7/10
While the match was brief and mostly one-sided, the storytelling and implications make it a standout moment in tag team history. It marked the arrival of Power & Glory, protected a legit injury angle for Shawn Michaels, and gave Marty Jannetty a rare solo showcase. Not a classic bout, but a classic moment.

Wrestling Threads & Treasures: A Spotlight on '80s & '90s WWF Merchandise [Videos]


Back before everything was digital, WWF fans rocked their love for wrestling with loud shirts, plastic championship belts, and foam fingers the size of Hulk Hogan’s ego. This spotlight dives into some of the most iconic—and forgotten—merch of the Golden and New Generation Eras.

During the '80s and '90s, WWF merchandise wasn't just about fandom—it was a cultural phenomenon. From schoolyards to living rooms, these items were symbols of allegiance to our favorite superstars.

Before the digital age of streaming and tweets, wrestling fans showed their love in foam fingers, action figures, and freezer-stocked ice cream bars. WWF merchandise during the ‘80s and ‘90s wasn’t just cool—it was culture. It captured the energy of the squared circle and gave fans a piece of the action they could hold, wear, or eat. Whether it was showing up to school in a Macho Man t-shirt or playing with Hasbro figures after Saturday morning cartoons, these were the golden goods of fandom.
