If there is something that will always blow my mind, it has to be old WWF interviews, especially any interview dealing with Hulk Hogan or Macho Man Randy Savage. When the two of them do an interview together? Forget about it, it’s absolutely insane. The following video is so important, that I feel it needs to be analyzed, second by second.

The first thing I want to point out is that I love that Macho Man is called “Madness.” Is he the only wrestler whose nickname has a nickname? He seems to have as many names as Apollo Creed. Anyway, the most important scene to point out is the opening. We see Macho and Hogan come in, hands up, fingers shaking and wiggling,

“We really don’t now what we’re dealing with here man.” Proclaims the Hulkster.

It’s clear that they are afraid to shake each other’s hands. Not because they are afraid of making a commitment to their newly formed tag team, The Mega Powers, but because they are afraid that if their hands touch, that the entire world will blow up. The cause of the world exploding is because Hogan is the strongest force in THIS universe, and that the Madness is the strongest force in ANOTHER universe. Basically, if these two universes collide, unthinkable things could happen, the first of which would be the world exploding.

Mean Gene, shocked at this revelation asks,” You mean to tell me there’s another solar system out there, Macho?” And Macho Man replies “Unbelievable! I’m still in a state of shock right now.” The power of the handshake that has just taken place between the two powers has caused Macho not to think clearly, as his answer to Gene’s question is not a real answer.

Macho begins to tell Gene that if it wasn’t for his wife Elizabeth, he would never have paid attention to Hogan, who whole heartedly endorsed Macho Madness, a form of Macho Mania, and finally gave the Madness direction and a course of action. Meaning and purpose if you will, and I will.

The direction? “The mega yeah, the mega yeah, the mega powers yeah, THE MEGA POWERS YEAH!” Feeling the power of screaming their new name, Macho asks Hogan to feel the power flowing through him, and the two lock arms.

Gene questions about a hit on the head that Macho took prior to these events. The two of them cast off the hit, it’s nothing that the strongest power in the universe can’t handle. Hogan is concerned about more serious things, like where they’re going to from this point on. Not the ring. No, bigger places. The stratosphere? Bigger.

The ionosphere.

Once the Madness and the Mania combine, they can use that power to take over the whole WWF, and not just the WWF either. Macho Man sets his sites on bigger things like Saturn, and Jupiter. The two lock arms one final time, energy buzzing through their veins, and walk off in a blazing glory.

It’s just so right.
