Author: Today in Pro Wrestling History: On January 20, 1997, a memorable moment unfolded at the United Center during a WCW broadcast. After being away for three months, “Macho Man” Randy Savage made a dramatic return to WCW.
However, his return was far from typical. In a unique form of protest, Savage staged a ‘sit-down strike’ right in the middle of the show.

Macho Man’s sit-down strike was an unexpected action by one of wrestling’s most colorful and charismatic figures, which captured the attention of fans and added another chapter to Savage’s storied career.
Known for his flamboyant style and intense persona, Savage’s sit-down strike was a demonstration of the unpredictable and captivating nature of professional wrestling.
