Pro wrestling is all about exaggeration (all that stuff about a programme between the Macho Man and Shawn Michaels is case in point) but this match is one situation where they’re not wrong: it’s an amazing bout even by today’s standards. Randy Savage brought a playbook mentality to wrestling’s improv culture, and it paid off in spades. (Also, interesting to note they had a subsequent house show feud in chain link steel cages, not the notorious ‘blue bars’ cage introduced the year prior.) [c/o MetaFilter] #link

Another great oral history from the AV Club, pretty much the only good thing they've got going lately (besides the wrestling commentary, but that's only like a Raw review now and then). Still waiting for part 2 of this one, but I'm sure whenever it shows up (the writer's working on it!) it'll be a doozy. #link
