SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: Approx. 10:00 Min.
Airing as part of the WWF’s Wrestling Challenge broadcast on October 28, 1992, Scott Hall (as Razor Ramon) pits his villainous machismo vs. the legendary “Macho Man” Randy Savage. Their feud also factors into a tag match the following month at the Survivor Series where Savage would recruit “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig to face Ramon and another arch-rival: “Nature Boy” Ric Flair.
Note: This match appears on the Randy Savage Unreleased: The Unseen Matches of the Macho Man DVD set.
REVIEW:
All things considered, this showdown reminds fans that the wily veteran, Savage, and the brash newcomer, Ramon, are both viable threats. However, their match is more of a heated brawl, as trading punches and kicks make up most of the bout’s run time. Without a commentary track, it’s also fun to hear the ref and the wrestlers alike talking back and forth throughout the match. Overall, it’s not bad, but the cheap finish probably doesn’t warrant tracking this brawl down.
