PWTorch reader & VIP MEMBER Abdou from Chelmsford, England asks: How does Triple H compare to Randy Savage in terms of their overall careers? It's fair to say that by the time it's all said and done history books will be written to favor Hunter, but on an objective scale how do they compare? I think Triple H was in more money drawing events, but Randy had a more larger-than-life persona, way more charisma, and cut better promos. Randy was a better babyface and arguably a more respected worker for his era and also proved himself outside WWE. Triple H had a long career filled with good to great matches, more so than Randy. Neither of them was the no.1 guy for long stretches, but I favor Randy over Triple H because he was such a big part of the early WrestleMania years. I would love to hear your thoughts?
Brad Stutts (indy wrestling promoter, announcer, manager, show runner) answers: Lanny Poffo said this in a recent DVD interview about someone else but I feel it's 100 percent applicable here: "Randy was chosen BECAUSE he was special. (The other guy) was 'special' because he was chosen." To me there is no comparison. Savage had a vastly superior body of work and is practically a pop culture icon.
Jonny Fairplay (@jonnyfairplay - Reality TV contestant including "Survivor," former TNA on-air performer, frequent PWTorch Livecast guest) answers: I'm a Randy Savage guy! I think the Macho Man persona was one of the greatest in the history of the business. So on every chart, I have Savage ahead of Triple H. Was there lots of Savage that I wasn't a fan of in WCW? Sure. But in his heyday, Macho Man was the best!
Justin Credible (current IWE Champion, former ECW World Champion, former WWF wrestler in the 1990s & 2000s, www.TheJustinCredible.com and on YouTubehere including his ongoing Wrestling 101 Series) answers: I think Triple H drew more money, because of the years he spent on top. That attitude era money was crazy, but Savage is a much more Iconic personality in the business. The thing is Triple H isn't done. I think by the time he is off TV it will be an open and shut case, in favor of Triple H.
