Look, I love Taker. But lets be honest here: his entire gimmick consisted of a sweet fucking entrance and no-selling. He was a gimmick change away from being Oz / Kevin Nash. Still a good career. Some might even say great. Nash had his moments. I hate saying this about him, but Taker was the right look for the right gimmick at the right time.
When you ask people on the street what person comes to their mind when you say wrestling, #1 is gonna be Hogan. #2 is gonna be Macho Man for anyone who didn't exclusively grow up with Cena on top. Macho Man is synonymous with wrestling. The look. The hair. The robes. The glasses. The music. The personality. The athleticism. His name is MACHO. Macho Man ran a program that at the end made grown men cry. You get chills watching it to this day if you don't shed a lil tear yourself. FFS, Jay Lethal imitates him and the crowd goes insane. They go nuts for it because Macho Man Randy Savage was one of the greatest of all time. Macho Man = wrestling. We love it. DIG IT!
