10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 7 Facts
5. With One Exception, This Was Randy Savage's First Match Back After Major Surgery
Savage and The Ultimate Warrior collided in what is easily the most memorable match of a fairly underrated WrestleMania. At age 38, millions of aches, dollars, and miles later, Savage was legitimately preparing to ride off into the sunset and call it a career. Speaking of those aches, Savage missed much time prior to the match, recovering on the mend.
In late-January 1991, Savage was taken off the road to have surgery to repair a broken wrist. Prior to WrestleMania 7, the only match that the then-"Macho King" worked was nine days before the pay-per-view, defeating Warrior in a steel cage match in Milwaukee. Aside from that, Savage had plenty of time away to design what could have easily been his in-ring curtain call.
