Matching 30 WWE superstars with 30 Marvel and DC superheroes

13. Macho Man Randy Savage
“Macho Man” Randy Savage is a legend. He’s one of the few WWF Superstars whose voice was just as iconic as his in-ring abilities. Everyone who’s heard his voice has attempted to mimic his, “OH YEAH” or, “Snap into a Slim Jim” from the commercials.
In the ring, he was incredible. He seemed fearless and never gave up. What people may remember him most by is his top rope flying elbow. Superstars like CM Punk and Bayley have flown through the air to pay tribute to the Macho Man. It’s unfortunate that Randy Savage doesn’t get the credit he deserves for making the WWF the premier wrestling company or inspiring younger wrestlers. Or his diss track to Hulk Hogan titled, Be a man.
Joker
Fun fact about Macho Man Randy Savage, he’s crazy. It’s almost like he can’t figure out if he wants to be a face or a heel. At least with Roddy Piper can be trusted. With Macho Man, he could betray you while he’s on your team. Joker is just like that.
How many times have we seen Joker sacrifice Harley or his goons just to escape? Trusting Macho Man is like asking to be betrayed. They’re also both loud in voice and in style. Macho Man is the poster child for loud costumes and we’ve seen Joker’s purple and green gaudy suits. Just don’t tell him I called them that.
