Picture Marty Jannetty and Shawn Michaels, who were a tag-team on TV, rolling around the hallways of some hotel with blood on their faces and clothes. Marty says this happened a few times, and it once landed both in hot water with the law. That's when the 'Macho Man' stepped in to take care of business.

Oooh yeah.

As cops clinked handcuffs onto Jannetty and started walking him down the lobby, Randy Savage stumbled upon the scene. Jannetty told The Hannibal TV that police didn't have a clue who he was, but they sure knew all about Randy and began fawning over him for autographs. Savage agreed, under one condition: they let Marty free from his chains.

Yes, Mach saved Marty from a night in the cells. Even more astonishing is the fact that he explained away the blood on Jannetty's mouth and clothing as "blood capsules". Somehow, the police bought his story. Either that or they didn't want to upset a hero so went along with it.
