Randy Savage worked differently than many during his time in wrestling. This was often met with criticism from his peers.

Description

Randy Savage is readily considered one of the greatest entertainers and wrestlers of all time. For a good reason, too. He had the physique. He had the intensity. He had the promos. He had innumerable memorable matches. And he had the girl. Each time he stepped foot in front of the cameras, he brought something so unique and extraordinary that it was hard not to gravitate towards his fighting spirit. He worked differently than many during his time. While a wrestler like Ric Flair could go out there and wrestle 5-star hour-long broadways by simply calling the match in the ring (never discussing details of the match in advance with his opponent), Randy was detail-oriented and felt comfort in meticulously writing out in advance, step-by-step, how his matches would play out from bell to bell. This was met with a range of opinions from his peers. Jerry Lawler on his Memphis Feud with Randy Savage Randy Savage and Jerry “The King” Lawler had a memorable feud in the late 1970s and early ’80s that came to fruition in quite an unorthodox way.
