Jim Ross Claims Randy Savage Almost Attacked Him Over Alleged Remarks

“Macho Man” Randy Savage is beloved by pro wrestling fans and inspired numerous generations of pro wrestlers after him. However, he never quite got along with Jim Ross and it appeared he almost attacked Ross once as well.

Back in 1993, Ross worked with WWE Hall of Famer Randy Savage as part of the commentary team at WrestleMania IX and at the King of the Ring pay-per-views and also on a few episodes of Monday Night RAW.

Randy Savage, known as one of WWE’s all-time greats from the late 1980s to early 1990s, had a stint as a commentator alongside Jim Ross in 1993 and 1994 before returning to wrestling with WCW. On his Grilling JR podcast, Ross talked about how he didn’t always get along with Savage behind the scenes.

Ross explained that while Savage was a superstar, he could also be difficult. He recalled an incident where Savage confronted him at a TV studio over something Ross supposedly said during an interview. The situation nearly turned physical until Gorilla Monsoon stepped in, ending the confrontation just in time.

“He was a legitimate superstar but he could also be a prick. I hate to say that about the dead but he was not a real good guy at times, and he cornered me at the TV studio because of something I allegedly said on an interview, on a generic interview.

He cornered me at the TV studio, reading me the riot act, and all of a sudden it’s like this big shadow overcame both of us, and it was Gorilla, so the confrontation, if you want to use that term, came to an end at that moment.”

Randy Savage is known as one of the best pro wrestlers ever, and his work in the wrestling world is legendary. However, he also had personal problems that made things harder for him and those around him. Jim Ross, who worked with Savage, understands this well and that’s never changing.
