[10.0] "The repetition where he just says "Cup of coffee in the big time" again louder is everything to me."

[10.0] "Randy Savage had one of the greatest promos of all time, and this one is epic. Coked off his tits he still puts together a piece of macho madness magic, quick witted and off the cuff, even Okerlund can't stump him. I still can't believe our parents condoned these as roll models, but I'm happy my Ma did."

[10.0] "Another Mach promo is added to Cagematch, and the world is slowly healing. Randy could narrate melting ice cream and earn a 10/10 promo from me. He literally managed to create Godlike promos centered around coffee creamer, a broom, bathroom towels, and in this case a cup of fucking coffee."
