10 Fascinating Facts About WWE WrestleMania III
4. Randy Savage Faxed A "Script" Of His Match To Ricky Steamboat
The method to Randy Savage's "Macho" Madness was careful preparation. One of the reasons so many performers had the matches of their lives with The Macho Man is that Savage would meticulously plan out the body of the match. In an era where wrestlers were a little more prone to calling it in the ring, Savage preferred a concrete plan.
Steamboat was one of those veterans used to free-forming it between the ropes, so he was a little taken aback when Savage literally faxed him the bullet points for how their Intercontinental Championship clash would go. Assuming Savage's plan was followed to the letter, who would argue with the result?
Savage and Steamboat put together the best WWE match of the 1980s, and ushered in a faster-paced, false finish-laden style that would become standard in later years.
