I can look back on my WWF fan years and laugh now and this man is a large reason for it.
Savage was the very personification of intensity. I loved the way he would answer questions from interviewers. Always in third person, always wearing those first generation Oakley sunglasses and bandana, always with "the lovely Elizabeth" on his arm and always about one yell away from having a heart attack on television.
He began every interview with, "Randy 'Macho Man' Savage, yeah"!
