The fourth annual Revolver Golden Gods Award Show brought the house down at Club Nokia in Los Angeles on April 11 with groundbreaking performances and once-in-a-lifetime collaborations that America’s only hard-rock and heavy-metal show have become known for. Broadcast live in its entirety on Xbox LIVE and the Revolver Facebook page, the sold-out event featured the greatest in hard rock and heavy metal and was hosted again by Fozzy front man and WWE pro-wrestling legend Chris Jericho.

With wrestling in the news, because of how pro wrestler and onetime Revolver Golden Gods presenter CM Punk was cut off during his anti-WWE speech last night on Raw, we’re posting this video of the Damned Things paying tribute to a couple of other wrestling legends, Macho Man Randy Savage and the Iron Sheik. The metal supergroup, which features members of Every Time I Die, Fall Out Boy, and Anthrax, recently sat down with Revolver TV (which you can get on your smart phone here) at Rock on the Range.
