@1Eu4ic To this day, I feel Mr. Perfect SHOULD have won Rumble 1993 instead of Yokozuna. IMAGINE...Perfect V. Bret Hart....the rematch of Summerslam! Also...Perfect NEVER HAD THE WWF WORLD TITLE! Just wow! I felt also...watch Rumble 1993...he had a HUGE pop. He was REALLY over, and WWF killed imo his chance.
Also..why didnt Perfect wrestle FOREVER when Flair came? Was he hurt? Did he want a break? I always wondered that too!
@shadydawg555 Yeah He was really over at that point in time, he was actually going to get the world title on two different occasions and in both cases he injured his lower back and couldn't wrestle, but could still walk around, so, the first time he became Flair's executive consultant, and the second time he just took time off after his feud with Lex Luger. It really does kinda suck, but on the other hand, back in these days the IC championship was IMO the better title in terms of good matches.
Lets say that Warrior did not get fired and stuck around for this Survivor Series Main Event, It would've been interesting to see how this match would have turned out.
Also, I always wondered what was the original plan for Mr. Perfect's return to the ring beisdes this this being their last resort in terms of storyline.
ho ly crap, this was the segment that made me a fan. After this I was a HUGE Mr. Perfect fan.
During the golden age you had Hogan, Savage, & Warrior, during the attitude era you had Rock, Austin & HHH, nowadays you've got Cena, Ortan, Bautista. I swear during that 5 year limbo between the end of the golden age and the beginning of the attitude era Bret Hart & Shawn Micheals should have be accompanied by Mr. Perfect. Perfect was better behind the mic and in the ring than either of those two too.
Hell Yeah, this was great, I am 30 now, so I well remember all of this as a youngster.. lol... Modern WWE is shit and I do not like the TNA desperation any better... I watch TONS of old school via online, and try to DL all I can, incase it gets taken away...
@residualbill that would be correct. damn warrior,. i remember he no showed me when i was 8, it took me 3 months to make this huge poster for him and he no showed my 8 year old ass.
@akuma4u Did he no-show you before or after his firing? I wouldn't be surprised if it was before. Anyway, my understanding is he was fired because he was getting this cocky rockstar ego and he tried to blackmail McMahon by demanding more money or he would no-show Summerslam. Vince agreed and paid him the amount, but was fired right after. He was brought back but fired again, this time for steroids allegedly found in a random drug test. This led to Mr. Perfect replacing him.
@residualbill thats a good question, im not sure if it was before or after the SS incident,. he was suppose to take on the undertaker and they announced at the beginning of the show that he could not make it and instead macho man would be his replacement and if people didnt like that, they could get refunds before the 2nd match. Warrior was at summerslam and minutes before he was suppose to be introduced he said he wouldnt go out unless mcmahon paid him more money. what a loser.
@residualbill As I recall,yes he was fired,he was fired because he wouldn't live up to his contract as personal appearances and autograph signings,that's why Vince fired him.
haha what makes me chuckle with Macho Man is that he'd talk all loud, then go real quiet, like he was suddenly miming, then talk loud again, just like Sycho Sid used to do.

Originally, The Ultimate Warrior was going to be "Macho Man" Randy Savage's partner for this match, but he left the company a week prior to the event. Instead, Mr. Perfect was turned face, breaking his relations with Flair and Bobby Heenan to team with Savage in a last-minute attempt to salvage the match.
apparently he was off roids when they became illegal. He was just "above the business" and did as he pleased. It she looks like he did drugs though...lol.
Although, when it comes to steroids, it wasn't like they were performance enhancers because you could take all kinds of steroids and it still wouldn't mean you'd get a push.
@lawrence142002 I disagree, because in the late '80s, big meant push. Hulk Hogan (was originally 275 lbs, but didn't get his push until he was over 300), Ultimate Warrior (couldn't wrestle, but was pushed anyway because of his size).
I'd have to agree with you 100%,Branewbie!I'd say between 1992-1996 was a dry spell for pro wrestling in general,but WWE's Attitude Era was quietly developing in late '96 as they developed Stone Cold Steve Austin's character slowly into a babyface,although he'd been initially reluctant about that because he had felt it would kill his character's heat.Keep in mind that the Rock was still Rocky Maivia then.
This is phenomenal, looking back. Basically, they have two hours to rescue the buyrate for "Survivor Series" (in an era of only four PPVs a year) and they actually DO IT.
i haven't seen this since it first aired... aside from Ric Flair showing up on WWF with the WCW title a year earlier, and Jericho's debut this was the most exciting moment for me a s a wrestling fan. i was only 6 at the time so this totally got me pumped
RIP Macho Man Randy Savage, "Mr. Perfect" Curt Henning, and Hacksaw Jim Duggan
