Was sure I had covered this one before, but turns out it wasn’t Randy Savage squashing Disco Inferno, but rather Paul Orndorff pummeling our favorite dancing geek. I will say this – Disco makes for a delightful punching bag!
And here’s the thing – I LOVED Disco’s gimmick. Not as much as the kid in the crowd pantomiming grabbing a mic and singing along to his theme, but I thought he was a great character.
But when you talk incredible personas, that conversation really needs to have the “Macho Man” Randy Savage near the top of the list. It’s a persona that everyone who knows anything about wrestling attempts to impersonate but no one can. Do you know why? Because Randy Savage was one of a kind. Completely unique, and you 100% believed the character he was portraying. He’s accompanied of course by Miss Elizabeth and if you’ve been here for any length of time you know that WCW Elizabeth being a thousand times hotter than the WWF version is a hill I will pitch my tent and die on if I must.
So the match starts and Disco grabs a side headlock before Macho whips him into the ropes…and is promptly TRIPPED by Elizabeth! Now she was a manager forever but she almost NEVER interfered in a match. She literally just stood outside and looked pretty. So she must have really hated Disco. Adding fuel to that fire is the fact the she slammed him into the ringpost! Savage following that up with a clothesline was kinda minor in comparison honestly.
Savage rolls him back into the ring and slams him down to the mat before heading up to the top. The big elbow comes next and we get the 1-2-NO. Instead Macho picks him up for some more fun.
So we get one more elbow drop and that gets the win for Savage. But again, playtime ain’t over!
ANOTHER elbow comes after the match and it looks like we’ll get a FOURTH (!!!) but the referee makes the mistake of stopping Savage, who promptly punches him right in the face. At this point all bets are off so we get…
…Savage spray painting Disco before commanding Liz to put her boot on his chest and getting a three count herself! Look how happy she is. Now I ask you – did 1980s Miss Elizabeth ever pin anyone with one foot? NO! How much more evidence do you need that WCW Liz > WWF Liz???
