This arc's going to be kind of weird to see, knowing that as the on-screen romance between the Macho Man and Elizabeth is heating up, the real-life Randy and Liz are headed for divorce. The Macho Man character really isn't built for vocalizing his feelings; he's a man of action above all else. But he does well enough for a first effort here. Bobby's not as happy to see Randy as he was a couple of weeks back, but Vince is ecstatic, as he almost always is when Liz is anywhere in the same zip code.

 

Not only is this segment designed to kill off the "King" gimmick once and for all, it's designed to let the viewers know beyond all doubt that Savage is retired for good and content with it. I'm not even sure that they publicized his broadcasting career before he showed up on Superstars. We get actual footage of Sherri's attack, but only still photos of Liz making the save; I guess that was to preserve Sherri's heat, since she was still going to be an active performer and Liz wasn't, at least for a while.

 

Liz herself, as usual, barely says two words, even though this "new" Macho Man seems more inclined to let her speak than he was previously. I like the little she did say about not being able to stay away from Randy's biggest match, but I couldn't help wanting just a bit more, especially since this was supposed to be her last-ever appearance. (I don't think the Jake angle had been conceived yet, as Randy and Liz were supposed to be starting a family. That's probably the reason Vince made a spot for him on Superstars; he could still draw a paycheck, but he'd only have to work once every three weeks, which would have given him plenty of time to be a full-time dad.)

 

As a planned transition from one phase of the Macho Man's life to another, this wasn't bad at all. As I said, the only thing wrong was that Liz didn't talk quite enough. The good news is, we'd be seeing her (and Randy) in the ring again before too long, and in a pair of classic feuds to boot.
