Was this actually real? According to Dave Meltzer, Macho Man Randy Savage was one of the opponents that The Rock wanted at WrestleMania 21.

Dwayne that year told me the three guys he wanted to work at Mania were Sting, Randy Savage and Rey Mysterio. https://t.co/0US031xugO

It's unclear whether Macho Man would have accepted that match. By 2004-2005, he had a small stint in TNA/ Impact Wrestling and didn't wrestle after that. A former TNA Employee Bill Behrens said that Macho Man was not in great shape at this point and couldn't throw a punch or hit his own moves. He explained:

"He did that spot then he did an in ring spot where he couldn't hit his own moves and he couldn't throw a punch bless his heart. Then after that he was supposed to do another spot an actual match, and he went to Jerry Jarrett and said I won't do it unless I win the title. Jerry Jarrett talked to him and talked to him and then left the meeting came to me and said: this man is insane. That pretty much was the end of Randy's run."

With that being said, assuming that Macho Man was game for a match with The Rock, it would have been one for the ages. From a storyline perspective, it made sense. Randy Savage was as over alongside Hulk Hogan as Rock was to Stone Cold Steve Austin. Both men were synonymous with their counterparts.

Considering that Rock had already fought Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 18, it would be an awesome sight to see The Great One taking on Mr. Madness.
