2. He Had A Memorable Feud With Randy Savage
http://youtu.be/I5DPKC7BA3M Dutch Mantell and 'Macho Man' Randy Savage were relative unknowns when they found themselves both working in Nashville in 1978. The market wasn't doing well and turned out to be an unlikely opportunity for the two future icons. "Business was horrible in Nashvilleand we were both heels. I remember I looked at Savage in the dressing room one night and said, Were wasting our time, buddy. Heck, we ought to be wrestling each other," Dutch once said. The two would feud over the NWA Mid-American Heavyweight Championship and would create a buzz in Nashville that would put even Memphis on notice. Dutch and Randy grew their market from 200 a night up to 1200-1400. They would really come into their own as characters during this time.
