I preferred the Warrior as a kid his face paint, erractic promos, his energy, and the fact that he had one of the better physiques of his day (n/h).
Hell I remember tying colored shoelaces around my arms, coloring my face bright colors with makers and running around in my house trying to emulate dude.
As I got older though and could appreciate the art of pro wrestling I'd say Macho was easily better in all important aspects mic work, in ring skills, he was just about as big a star as Hogan and Warrior in the late 80s early 90s.
The WWE should have gave Savage more of a run during that time period but I know Hulkamania was a marketing machine back then.
