Macho Man's successor

 Just re-watching Savage's last WCW appearances and reminded myself about this segment where he names his successor...and nothing came of it. Any idea who it was supposed to be or what was going to happen? You seem to have a good idea about...everything.
 P.S. Please say it was Luger.

That whole period was just a mess of week-to-week booking, especially Macho Man's stuff.  Much like that week on Thunder where they had the battle royale and Savage randomly appeared and then was never mentioned again.

    If he wasn't green as grass at the time I think Sean O'Haire would have been a good choice.  Course he turned in to a woman-beating douchebag after he left wrestling so in hindsight I'm glad he failed at both wrestilng and MMA.

    I'm thinking it was supposed to be an attempt to finally get his brother Lanny on TV.

    I think Macho was referring to Cena!

    I'm actually convinced it's Bully Ray. They both make reference to the "Twitter machine."

     That would be ridiculously awesome and even better than the rumor that it's various WWE writers.

    "I've got too much money in the bank to be punked out by punks like you!" One of my best friends quoted that line for years. Man, I miss Mach and his wacked-out interviews.

    Macho Man delegated the decision to Kevin Nash, who named Jay Lethal as the successor.

    With all the things Savage has done for the wrestling business I'm always saddened he never got to have a farewell angle and the last we ever saw of him was randomly appearing in TNA.

    I'm pretty sure he's the real Thrill Murray.

    He kind of screwed himself over there, insisting he win the NWA title in that condition he was in.  If he was willing to do business, it might have turned into something quite respectful.

    Of course, he screwed someone else over in the WWF to prevent something from happening there...

    Thrill Murray is a much better name than anything WWE has come up with in the last five years.

    I'm thinking Randy Hales, after all this is around the same time the infamous Doug Gilbert shoot shut down his promotion which meant he needed work so *cue the Jesse Ventura conspiracy theory*.

    Well, they did have the connections to Jason Hervey.
