Is it possible?
The IWC loves this guy. Casual fans love this guy. Pro wrestlers past and present love this guy.
When it comes to guys like Eddie Guerrero and Owen Hart, they didn't get that kind of admiration and respect until their untimely deaths. And even then, there's a big part of the IWC who get pissy when people mention them as all time greats. Savage though well before his death, people have always said nothing but glowing things of his work, with the exception of the time he popped up in TNA.
Hulk Hogan has a ton of detractors.
Steve Austin has a ton of detractors.
The Rock has a ton of detractors.
Ric Flair has a ton of detractors.
Bret Hart has a ton of detractors.
Shawn Michaels has a ton of detractors.
Sting has a ton of detractors.
Savage on the other hand, who has anything bad to say about him? You never see it. The ONLY thing is the Stephanie rumors, and those have never been confirmed, and they never kept people from respecting his work.
His DVD came out Tuesday and of course it's great. But it got me thinking, I never see people randomly bash this guy, like I do every other top name the business has ever seen. Is it just me, or is it simply a fact that Randy Savage is indeed the most universally liked and respected wrestler of all time?
