WWE Hall of Famer Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat recently sat down with NBC Elmira to discuss numerous wrestling topics. Here are the highlights:
His favorite matches:
“I’ve got two matches and I’ve had over 6,000. ‘Macho Man’ Savage WrestleMania III and then, of course, when I beat Flair for the World Championship.”
Ric Flair:
“Ric and I go way back, we go back to the late 70s. We ran our [matches] on and off – through the mid 90s, about seventeen years. That was a guy, who was two years ahead of me in the business, but went to bat for me in the Carolinas for Crockett Promotions – Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling at the time and pointed it out that he’d like to do something with me and from that point on it made me a main event guy and the rest is history.”
