My Take
Randy Savage is, to me, proof that professional wrestling is performance art. The raspy growl, the neon tassels, the flying elbow from the top rope: every detail was theater, but underneath the madness was one of the most meticulous match-planners the business ever produced. I love that he came to the ring after washing out of minor-league baseball; the hunger of a second career explains an intensity he never switched off. His best matches still hold up as clinics decades later. He died in 2011, but no Hall of Fame plaque fully captures how completely he embodied the spectacle.
