Savages's scores:

Technical Ability: There were few on his level. Savage meticulously planned out every detail of his big matches, often filling up spiral bound notebooks with each moment laid out in order. And it showed in the ring, with nigh-flawless performances. Grade: A+

Speaking and promos: Savage could talk the talk, and certainly got the fans invested in his character, whether as heel or face. But his rambling, metaphysical interviews often made no sense, and he could get off subject easily. Grade: B

Popularity: Randy Savage remains one of the most popular wrestlers of all time even in death. And he had great mass-market appeal, appearing in a long running ad campaign for Slim Jim snacks and movie roles like Spider Man. Grade: A+

Competition: Randy Savage fought and defeated many legends in the sport, both in the United States and abroad. Grade: A
