Dusty Rhodes comments on Randy Savage Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 05/21/2011 at 02:34 PM
The Washington Post has a quote from Dusty Rhodes on the death of Randy Savage:
Theres probably five or six of us, with Andre (the Giant) and (Hulk) Hogan and thankfully myself and (Ric) Flair, that, when their names pop up, even if youre not a fan, you know who in the hell these people are. You say, I know this guy. I know Macho Man Randy Savage. He was part of that breed. We lost a good one.
Flair talks in detail about Savage's death Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 05/20/2011 at 10:26 PM
Thanks to Wes Holtsclaw and prowrestling.net for the interview recap of Ric Flair on 610-AM The Fan's "The Drive" show with Taylor Zarzour...
Ric Flair on "Macho Man" Randy Savage's death hitting hard: "It sure did (hit hard). It's pretty sad. He just recently got married, it's been a little over a year, and was happy and, you know, really seemed to be at peace with himself. He just had a phenomenal career and to have this happen is just really, really sad."
Flair on his WrestleMania VIII match with Savage: "That was a huge day for me and my first dance at WrestleMania, of course. It was just a tremendously well-written program. It was like he was married to Liz back then and she was a huge commodity and a huge star with the WWF, or that's what they were called back then, of course. And the thing was, 'She was mine before she was yours.' It was well-written and done and Randy worked hard at it and I worked hard at it. We had a really good match. Curt Hennig, God rest his soul, managed me and Liz managed Randy and we gave them a hell of a show and it was awesome. That was my first Mania and one of the finest memories of my career."
Flair with additional comments on Savage: "My thoughts about Randy are different. I think he was such a competitive guy. Randy had a really hard time relaxing and I feel bad. I think about the times I used to say to him, 'Hey man, just calm down and don't worry about this and this and this... whatever happens is going to happen.' If you go to sleep at night worrying about what's going to happen the next day, it's just too hard. You know, he worked like I did, 365 times a year back in the old days.
"He actually broke in in Charlotte in 1975. I'd only been here a year when Randy moved in down here. He played semi-pro baseball, I think, in St. Louis and was doing fairly well but wasn't blowing up the ladder like expected so he came here and broke in the business. The irony in that is when I first moved here in '74 I actually traveled with his dad several times. I knew the whole family very well. His dad just passed recently and I think that hurt Randy really bad. They were very close.
"Randy just dropped out of sight when the company was sold from WCW (to WWE). The thing I feel worst about, of all of the guys that are available and eligible to be in the WWE Hall of Fame -- there most be something that I'm unaware of that's gone on and they've never inducted him because Randy certainly was a major player for the WWF in the mecca days of the eighties and ninties."
Flair on whether Savage is one of the ten greatest wrestlers of all time: "Of course. Yeah. Of course. ... I didn't always agree with Randy. I'm not gonna lie to you. I didn't sweat things out like he did. But I wasn't... I didn't have to fight like a dog in that race they had to be whoever they were in the eighties in that show, where everybody was fighting for position everyday of their life. I didn't have to evolve from that. I never had personal differences with him, nothing about lifestyle. It was just about business and it doesn't stop my opinion (of him) -- he always did favors for me. He came in and opened some of my Gold's Gyms.
"We were great friends. He and I clashed in business but outside of the ring we were great. He could drink beer and have a good time. And I made him laugh and helped him take his mind of things that bothered him. We got along great and had a lot of fun together. I used to say to him all the time, he probably died with 300 million dollars in the bank. I'm not exaggerating. I'm being facetious. But Randy was very thrifty. I used to say to him all the time, because he would stay at hotels that were less cost effective than where I stayed. (laughs)
"You can criticize it all you want but I'm going to enjoy the moment because you never know, you know. The irony in that is Randy was only 58 years old. That's sad because I guarantee you he's got enough money to live 200 more years. He made it. He worked hard to earn it. He worked very hard to earn it. He deserved it. But I always used to say to him, 'Man, you live for the day.' Today's another example of why you have to live for today. You never know."

After Kidd lost to Yoshi Tatsu on last night's Superstars, Hayes went to help Kidd up but ended up elbowing him back to the mat. Hayes said he has better things to do than hang around losers. There was talk that Hayes would be managing other WWE talents so it's possible WWE will keep him in the managerial role.

Eric gets on the mic and talks about how him and Hulk change the arena as they can remodel according to the changes from the network. He says if it was really up to Mick Foley, it would be a show all about thumbtacks. He says that Hulk is off at New York as he is meeting with Foley. Eric states that he is in charge tonight and whoever gets in his way will pay the price. Just then, Brian Kendrick's music hits and here comes the eccentric man as he leads several other X-Divisioners.
Kendrick has a mic and wonders why Eric is saying about being in his way on a wrestling show while he isn't even a wrestler. It gets Kendrick furious as he is a wrestler and he can out wrestle, along with the other X-Divisioners, any other wrestler on Immortal. Eric comes out of the ring and goes right to Kendrick. Eric says he is going to create history. He is going to whip out the X-Division once and for all tonight. Eric is sick of it. He's going to start out with Kazarian. The X-Division is about no limits, not about weight limits. So Kazarian will face Abyss! He then states that Amazing Red will face against Samoa Joe tonight. As for Generation Me, they will face off against Matt Hardy and........ERIC BISCHOFF! Eric is loving this night. Kendrick stops Eric from talking and saying he forgot about him. Eric forgot that Kendrick was standing there. He has something for Brian though, and that is a slap to the face. Eric walks away and Immortals go after the X-Divisioners. Immortal beats them up easily. After they are done, Fortune comes out and they take Immortal to the limit. Fortune clears house after Bully Ray was the last one in the ring. Just then, Fortune continues the fight as they get out of the ring and attack Immortal. It's all out chaos! Immortal finally attacks Forune and they walk up the ramp as Fortune stay by the ring. Flair gets fired up and throws his coat to Fortune. That starts more heat and the two groups are off fighting again. The X-Divisioners are back and they help Fortune out as they go after Immortal. Generation Me does suicide dives and Amazing Red flies in the air on Abyss.
Immortal tries to retreat, but they come back as more fighting contine. Fighting is all over the Wrestling Impact arena. Finally, Forune and the X-Divisioners get in the ring as Immortal goes up the ramp. Flair comes down and says he needs to talk to Roode. He will talk to him later tonight and he better show.

Is AJ saying that he is better than Tommy? Tommy states that he built a wrestling company and he didn't get help from anyone. He wrestled and did everything for free!

Kurt says he finally gets what he wants. That is Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Jarrett one-on-one! It will happen at Slamiversary. The winner of the match, a stipulation just made by Mick Foley, will be the #1 Contender for the TNA World Title. Jeff Jarrett's music hits and he comes down to the ring fast as you can clearly see he is not in the mood.
He grabs a mic and asks Kurt if he is kidding! He can't believe Kurt is getting another shot at him. What did he deserve to get this? He beat Kurt every time. It was Kurt's ADD, it was Kurt's fault that distracted him. It wasn't Karen's fault. Jeff was focused though as he won because he is better than Kurt. (The fans boo loudly from that.) Jeff says he is up for one final match against Kurt. Jeff says if Kurt is really up to it, then he has no problem agreeing to this stipulation. Jeff has taken everything from Kurt, but his gold medal. He tells Kurt to put his gold medal up and if Jeff wins, then he will get it. Jeff and Kurt shake hands. Kurt's music hits, but it changes to Jeff's and Karen comes up from the stage. Karen laughs and says Jeff won't be alone at the PPV. Velvet Sky comes from backstage. Kurt starts to smile and Jeff tries to point behind Karen but she doesn't get it. Velvet grabs the mic from Karen and asks her if she wants to go for a ride.
