Guest Doyo Report post Posted September 19, 2003 http://www.wrestlingobserver.com 9/18/2003 5:45:00 PM Savage bombs in concert by Scott Fedor Here's a synopsis of the concert by "Macho Man" Randy Savage in Treasure Island, Florida last night... Syndicated morning show DJ Bubba The Love Sponge talked about the show daily for the week or so leading up to the event (heard locally on 98 Rock). Bubba and Savage have a long-running feud, and Bubba encouraged his listeners to come out in full force to let Randy know exactly what they thought about him. When I got to Mr. B's (the restaurant/bar where the event was held), there was a swarm of people outside of the building, many adorned in bright yellow shirts. Bubba had promised a shirt giveaway on the radio, and those were the shirts. On the front read "Hulk Hogan Rules" and on the back "Macho Man Sucks" with "Proud Member of the Bubba Army" written below. I was too late for the free shirts. Mr. B's was refusing to let anyone else inside at that point -- especially those who were wearing the yellow shirts. However, others who walked right up were let inside, no problem. Apparently the idea was to prevent hecklers from making it inside. That idea ended up failing. A slew of off-duty cops kept the peace out front as best they could. Brian Adams (Crush) and Macho Man arrived together in a limo. There were a few cheers... and then a chorus of boos from angry Bubba fans. People were shouting things like "Nubain" and "crapped your pants at Gold's Gym" at Randy. I was amazed at the scene. A cover band was inside playing as a warm-up, and I managed to finally get through the doors. The venue was tiny, hardly the scene for a serious concert. The performance itself was horrendous. Remember the Milli Vanilli incident in 1990 where their CD started skipping at a concert? That's what happened three songs into this show. Macho was lip-synching to his music, trying his best to ignore the overwhelming boos and jeers from the crowd. Unfortunately for Randy, the CD started skipping. Oops. He kept lip-synching until Adams gave him the sign to stop. They tried to compose themselves, but ultimately the rowdy crowd and equipment problems were too much to handle. Randy slammed down the mic and ended the show abruptly. Overall, the show was great on the unintentional comedy side of things. As a serious performer, though, Savage doesn't stand a chance. I felt bad for Randy up there on stage. Someone has given him some bad advice on this one. He'd be better off working for MLW here in Florida -- as a wrestler, not a rap singer. OHH NOOOOO!!!!!

Guest Boo_Bradley Report post Posted September 19, 2003 We should upload the clip from May 89's SNME with Sherri, Savage, Jesse trading "OOOOOHHH Yeahhhhs!!" and McMahon replying "OOOOHHH NNOOOO!!" Hilarious stuff though... What happens when Britney's CD starts skipping? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted September 19, 2003 I bet Savage could do a pretty wicked deathgrowl. Maybe I should send him an e-mail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BAR Report post Posted September 19, 2003 Poor Randy. Crush should've came on stage and helped out. At least if the rap bombed they could throw eachother around ala WMX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2003 He's Macho Man's #1 right hand man currently. When Brian Adams was going to become a pro boxer, Macho Man hyped his match on the Best Damn Sports Show Period. I should be laughing hysterically but for some odd reason beyond me I feel bad for the Macho Man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vyce 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2003 This whole event must have been so surreally ridiculous and awful that I can only weep bitter tears that I was not able to witness it myself. Crush, Randy? CRUSH is your posse?!?!?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2003 Poor Randy. Crush should've came on stage and helped out. At least if the rap bombed they could throw eachother around ala WMX. I loved that match--tying up Crush in the backstage area, and hanging him from a coatrack by his feet! BWAHAHAH!! I wouldn't mess with Crush, I would NOT want a heart punch or head squeeze.
