Deadspin’s Masked Man has a farewell to Randy Savage. Fantastic:
The “heated exaggeration, suspiciousness, and conspiratorial fantasy” of the average Savage interview functionally defined the paranoid style in American pro wrestling.
The video clips in the piece are great, too.

Tremendous essay: The Masked Man was not only recapping Macho Man’s career, he was recapping my late elementary and middle school years…massive nostalgia.
