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.

And now I notice this has already been posted in the wwe folder.

Savage isn't a wwe wrestler, he is a serious musician now, damnit!

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?

I bet Savage could do a pretty wicked deathgrowl. Maybe I should send him an e-mail.

Poor Randy. Crush should've came on stage and helped out. At least if the rap bombed they could throw eachother around ala WMX.

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.

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?!?!?!

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.
