I’d grown up in dressing rooms and I’d been around Randy and Randy in ’90 / ’91 / ’92, he had come and done some shots as the Macho Man.
As big a star as he was, he came back to quote-unquote the home territory. So, I’d known Randy since I was in high school, my daddy had worked with him for years and then at that stage in his career, you think about the Macho Man, and I don’t know if you could really call it a last match with all the great matches he had, but maybe one of his last wrestling appearances, but at that time, and this is one of those footnotes that, candidly, when me and Conrad get into the real in-depth story, Randy had the Spider-Man movie going on, his acting career, he also had, people don’t know, he had his rap career that was going on.
So, when we get into those kinds of stories with Conrad, and me and Conrad have obviously had conversations off and on over the years about, ‘Jeff wants you to do it,’ and once Bruce came to work for us, he was like nudging me in the early days of Something to Wrestle With.
So, it’s one of those things, persistence paid off.
But, I’m just glad in a lot of ways that I didn’t say yes back then and now I am saying yes.
But, the depths to the stories that we’re going to tell, and I appreciate you teeing it up to do a couple of previews.
But, no, when we get into it there’s some fascinating stories about Randy and my father, and him there that day.
It’s pretty cool.
But, where Randy was at in life, not just the wrestling business, those kinds of stories will be told.”
Jarrett actually booked Randy Savage to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship from him at the TNA Final Resolution 2005 PPV, but The Macho Man left the company a few weeks before the event.
