Macho Ma’am Candy Savage on talking trash in hot-pink spandex at CLLAW’s upcoming match in Logan Square Auditorium. Beneath a tiny yet hot spotlight, a small platform will be set up in the center of Logan Square Auditorium (2539 N. Kedzie Blvd.) on March 8 to welcome opponents in the Chicago League of Lady Arm Wrestlers . The stark stage will showcase more than 14 lady arm wrestlers as they lock arms in pairs to battle for the CLLAW’s coveted trophy: a pair of glittery boxing gloves. The arm wrestling the crowds see here is very, very real, as are the occasional physical challenges, such as chug-offs and hula-hoop-offs. But that doesn’t stop the ladies from having fun: each wrestler is encouraged to assume an over-the-top, WWE-style persona, complete with a wild, inventive costume that would make Ric Flair hang his head in shame. To get an idea of what other wrestlers put into their larger-than-life wrestling personas—full disclosure: I wrestle as the fictional NPR on-air personality Gorrison Killer—I spoke to wrestler Macho Ma’am Candy Savage to talk about her biceps, her best insults, and her fierce fashions.KAYE STRAUB: Once upon a time, more specifically the late ‘80s/early ‘90s, a great man changed the world of professional wrestling and the meat-snack-stick industry forever. That man was Macho Man Randy Savage. OOOH YEAH!KS: Macho Ma'am is managed by none other than Slim Jim, the greasiest slab of man meatthe world has ever seen.KS: OOOH, where does the Macho Ma'am begin? AT THE TOP, BECAUSE THE MACHO MA'AM IS THE CREAM AND THE CREAM RISES TO THE TOP, YEAH! Pink and yellow leopard headband, hot-pink star earrings, the most amazing ‘80s sunglasses you’ve ever seen, purple tasseled halter top with white stars on the lady parts, ... hot-pink spandex shorts with three white stars on the front and "Macho Ma'am" written on the back, ... yellow wrestling boots, purple windbreaker jacket with hot-pink zebra trim ... and "Macho Ma'am Candy Savage" written on the back. And of course, the Gender-Continental Lightweight Championship Belt.KS: I basically tried to recreate everything an early-era Macho Man would wear if he was a foxy lady. He has a very iconic look, especially the pink trunks and yellow boots, so I had to do the big man justice.KS: A Hulkamania T-shirt.KS: All of the Glory of All the Eagles. … Macho Ma'am doesn't have time to count.KS: The Macho Ma'am’s opponents are nothin’ but garbage, and on CLLAW XVII the Macho Ma'am will be takin’ out the trash! OOH YEAH! DIG IT!
