[1992-01-05-WWF-Wrestling Challenge] Interview: Randy Savage & Elizabeth

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Savage and Elizabeth are interviewed live by Gene Okerlund. Savage announces his entry in the Royal Rumble and vows revenge on Jake.

[Tim Evans]

Elizabeth always looked so uncomfortable out there during interviews. I guess I can see why though.

[glea diddy]

Solid Savage interview putting over the importance of the rumble and the title as well as his feud with Jake.

[shoe]

Nice little interview.

[Eduardo]

Good interview from Savage, I liked the way he transitioned from talking about the Rumble to then talking about Jake the Snake. Neat.

[JerryvonKramer]

I didn't know that they kept the Savage / Jake feud going after This Tuesday in Texas, always thought the bit in Royal Rumble 92 was just a nice bit of "afters" or continuity a la Tito vs. Ric Martel every single year.

 

I liked the vague hint of jealousy from Randy after Liz claimed she might even feel a bit sorry for Jake.

[Zero]

The "I almost feel sorry for Jake.." was great. Savage putting revenge on Jake > anything else, was pretty great.

[Kevin Ridge]

A bit more talking from Elizabeth than the usual. She sure does look good looking though. Savage is in the Rumble and doesn't matter to him if he is going up against enemies like Jake or friends like Hogan.

[MikeCampbell]

Great promo from Savage. I cracked up at Perfect asking Vince if Elizabeth would leave Savage if he didn't win the Rumble. Of course, Savage didn't win and those pics of Liz and Flair started popping up . . . . . .

[Zenjo]

Liz looked gorgeous. In a totally different league to any divas you get these days.

[WingedEagle]

Savage is aiming to win the Rumble but is hot for Jake and won't lose sight of that come the big day. Liz is absolutely best seen but not heard from.

[PeteF3]

Savage calls out Sid Justice, The Undertaker, and Hulk Hogan, before re-focusing on Jake. TRUST ME, DIG IT? Liz manages to get her lines out okay, and Perfect's mocking of her is pretty funny.

[garretta]

Savage doesn't disappoint here. I'd have liked just a touch more anger toward Jake, but unlike at Tuesday in Texas, revenge isn't the sole focus here. My favorite line: "I wanna go back to the top of the mountain so I can see better!" Who else can use a line like that and still come off as a tough guy?

 

Liz was good here too. I liked the line about feeling sorry for Jake, and don't forget the first part: "Considering how Randy feels about him......." This was the closest thing to a warning Liz ever delivered, at least that I saw.

 

Curt's line asking if Liz would leave Savage if he didn't win the Rumble seemed typical. I hope we get to hear more from Curt as a commentator this year so I can judge how good he is. He sounds like he could be above average at least.

 

Typical horny Vince here: he considers Jake slapping Liz a lot more heinous than him threatening Randy with another potential cobra bite. The only reason that I'm glad Liz finally leaves for good after Mania is so I don't have to hear Vince drool all over her ever again.

 

I don't remember a Savage/Hogan confrontation at the Rumble, but it'll be interesting to go back and see if he pairs off with Taker or Sid at some point in light of this interview.

[soup23]

Good interview with Savage looking vicious and vowing some revenge on Jake. The Royal Rumble isn't the most conventional method to keep a blood feud continuing but it does raise the stakes of that match overall.

[dawho5]

Savage taking off the sunglasses for the "TRUST ME" line was incredible. Perfect on commentary seemed like a good fit.
