Macho City’s inaugural hero is American wrestling superstar “Macho Man” Randy Savage! His machocity is baked right in – look it’s there in his name! Randy. Savage. Randy. Savage. I hope you’re saying it out loud. Are you thinking of a randy savage? Powerful.
Savage joined the World Wrestling Federation in the 80s initially as a heel (that’s wrestling talk for baddie) but his popularity lead to him turning “face” (goodie). One of the few people to accessorise with neon sunglasses and sequinned cowboy hats yet still retain complete machocity, Savage was absolutely massive in the 80s and 90s.
