Christopher Daniels told a story about asking permission from Savage to use his signature move on Twitter, writing, "RIP Randy Savage, an inspiration who set the standard! As a fan, watching Randy in Wrestlemania 3,4 and 5 was incredible! True Story: at Turning Point 2004 (AMW-XXX cage match), I asked Randy’s permission to drop the elbow of the top of the cage! Randy’s reply? “God bless you, brother, I don’t even do the elbow anymore.†And, he gave me a thumbs up after the match as well!"
ROH star Claudio Castagnoli wrote, ""When I was 12 I turned my jacket into a Macho Man Jacket, adding tassels on the sleeves and ran through my house yelling “oh yeah†The tower of power, too sweet to be sour, funky like a monkey uuuuh yeah! RIP Macho"
