Warrior's tribute to Macho Man. Loved it.

Savage and warrior have always had mutual respect for each other. Maybe one of the few wrestling related people for Warrior.

I just got done watching DDP's video. It was quite sad, especially the end with the 10 bell salute.

This is a brilliant video, very heartfelt and emotional monologue from Warrior. Great points made about Randy and the business as a whole. I lol'd at the comment about how he and Savage would always have competitions to see who could drink the most coffee to get the most jacked before going on.
The two were good friends, and you can tell how broken up Warrior was to learn about Randy's passing, he fights back tears a few times here. They were the two most intense entertainers the business ever saw and probably will ever see.

Great video, and one of the only Warrior commentaries of the past decade that I truly enjoyed from start to finish without rolling my eyes at some point. Very down to earth, which shows you how somber Warrior was about Savage's passing.
Truthfully, Warrior owes Randy Savage a large debt of gratitude, and he clearly understands that, and appreciates what Savage did for him. Think about all the people that helped Warrior during his career. Not all of them have spoken kindly about him in retrospect, but I can't think of a single time Randy Savage badmouthed Warrior.
Savage helped Warrior to arguably the best matches of his career and laid down for clean losses to Warrior, and never bitched about Warrior's attitude or having to carry him in later years. I'm sure Warrior took note of that and greatly appreciated it.

All of his words rang through clearly in my thoughts. Also, made me rethink my opinion of Warrior

Man, that was a great tribute. Really, really touching. The loss of Randy made a HUGE impact on so many people, on so many different levels.
For us older fans who grew up watching Savage through the years when he was at one point "the most in-demand and hottest property in the WWF", to him introducing Miss Elizabeth to the world, to him capturing the WWF Intercontinental title and his legendary match with Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat at WrestleMania III and then going through the incredible tournament at WrestleMania IV and winning the big one, we should all consider ourselves lucky enough that we lived through those times as they happened and how magical and inspirational they truly were.
"Macho Man" Randy Savage was truly one-of-a-kind. I'm so glad I got the chance to witness all of those great moments when I was a kid. I'll never forget them.
R.I.P.

Nobody would truly realize the impact Randy Savage had on his peers and his fans. The Ultimate Warrior versus Randy Savage match from WrestleMania VII is by far one of my all-time favorite matches. The chemistry was there. From hearing the Ultimate Warror's tone, he sounded choked-up and verry appreciative of what Randy Savage did in the industry.
One of my favorite Macho Man moments was when him and Elizabeth re-united after the Warrior/Savage match at 'Mania VII. The amount of people who cried in the audience shows how special and memorable that moment was. When I first watched that match from the WrestleMania Anthology boxed set, I was hooked. When the dust settled, both men looked strong by the outcome.
In closing, the Ultimate Warrior gained a ton of points in my book from his tribute.
