You can tell he genuinely enjoyed doing this. A true professional

[johnbattalgazi]

Well done Macho Man for being a good sport and not taking yourself seriously at all. Respect.

These guys were real life super heroes to a lot of kids growing up in the 80s, early 90s. Randy Savage was definitely larger than life. Rip Macho man

[RsiX_productions]

Can tell he toned the intensity down for the kids here, he looks genuinly happy being the kids hero in the studio . Legend

[EllRiver]

The way he delt with "is wrestling fake" question so well. He bassicly answered it earlier where he admitted he was afraid of hurting the other guy. It's a performance, yes, but how well you do and perform DOES determine if you will be champ.

What a pro. Those kids will never forget that day

I miss waking up on Saturday morning and watching something that's meant to make me laugh, rather than something that's meant to make me cook.

Great to see the BBC recognise The legendary Macho Man Randy Savage

[AnthonyDark]

This just shows why he's one of the greatest of all time. What a character on top of his sublime in ring work.

[OSW]

This is Randy Savage on one of his calmer days.

If you watch Randy's documentary on the WWE network, the dude loved doing stuff for kids. He did hundreds of hours of charity work for ill and disadvantage kids. Whenever he'd walk through an airport he would never say no to an autograph and taking a picture with a kid. He did hundreds of make a wish charity's. Randy was a good dude.

[ReubenKincaidJr]

I first saw Randy wrestle in the mid 70s. A bully in my school jumped in the ring with him after a match. Needless to say the bully never picked on us ever again. Thank God for the Macho Man my favourite.

[rajnirvan]

I remember seeing this when aired. RIP Randy Savage

[jordcarter]

What a good sport.
You get the impression he really enjoyed this.
Legend.

[chrisskalski]

Macho Man was great with children. It`s a shame he never had one or two of his own.

[waynematthews]

I don't remember this, but what a kick seeing this! Macho Man was an absolute G! His comedic timing was genius, great with the kids and larger than life!
Sarah Where is she now??
Can't believe this was 30 years ago??!!
I guess this was before Summer slam at Wembley.

[smithmeister]

A masterclass of walking the line between kayfabe and real life at a time when it shouldn't have been done.
