10 Best Ever Excuses For Losing A Wrestling Match
7. Randy Savage Plays Dirty
Mr Perfect and Bobby Heenan were raging, pacing back and forth, dishevelled from their misadventures at ringside and the commentary booth respectively as a bloodied and beaten Ric Flair fell to Macho Man Randy Savage at WrestleMania VIII.
Savage had reclaimed the WWE Championship in the process, bypassing 'The Nature Boy's countless cruel mind games played before the event. This was in keeping with 'Slick Ric's MO - he was the 'Dirtiest Player In The Game', and thought nothing of objectifying Miss Elizabeth just to get into the crazed mind of her psychopathic better half.
Savage, as a babyface, had found some balance to smoothen his bonkers edge. His impotent rage early on during the match had left him in some peril thanks to Perfect's unapologetic interference and Flair's constant cheating, but getting into the muck with his opponent bore fruits. He grasped a handful of the gold following a handful of tights. Flair and his gang of evil-doers protesting this so vociferously in proximity to their own strategy was a f*cking hoot.
Flair was the type of man that appeared as though he'd learned how to cheat before he'd learned how to wrestle. Losing on these terms seemed to hurt almost as much as losing his title.
