I've got 8 and 10 year old kids telling me about the match I had with Savage at WrestleMania III and that was 30 years before they were even born. But with the magic of the Internet, their dad tells them to watch a little bit of what they used to watch... It amazes me that we're passing it on from generation to generation.
The one moment above all that fans bring up from my career when they run into me is the Savage match. Here it is, 30 years later, and everywhere I go that's what people want to talk about.
My uncle inspired me, and it was because of him that I become a wrestler, but besides him, the one Superstar that really caught my attention growing up as a kid was 'Macho Man' Randy Savage.
Hulkamania is like a single grain of sand in the Sahara desert that is Macho Madness.
The toughest opponent for me would have been Randy Savage, the Macho Man, because his intensity paralleled mine.
I can remember that my match with Savage at WM3 lasted less than 20 minutes.
My dream mixed-tag match has always been against the 'Macho Man' Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth.
I knew Randy right from day one when he started wrestling. I helped him put together that image of the Macho Man. He had a way about him. He grabbed your attention through his voice. That allowed him to present himself as a type of a character.
I would have to say Ric Flair and Randy Savage were two of my favorite guys to work with; I had some good main-event type matches with both.
