[1992-05-09-WWF-Superstars] Interview: Randy Savage / Interview: Ric Flair

Talk about it here.

A pair of local promos to hype a Boston Gardens match between Savage and Flair.

[Kevin Ridge]

Thought Savage was pretty subdued in his promo. Both guys mentioned Elizabeth but I believe she was off the road at this point and the marriage was coming to an end.

Local promo for a show at Boston Garden on 6/6. I loved seeing these for MSG shows back in the day.

[PeteF3]

Savage actually cuts a local-centric promo, which I didn't know they were still doing.

[MikeCampbell]

Savage compares himself to the Bruins and Celtics, which is interesting since he's not from Boston. Good promo though, especially him wanting Flair, Heenan, and Perfect out of the WWF, and 2/3 would be within two years.

I didn't know they were still doing local promos at this point either. They certainly added spice to the cards, though, especially when the guys would mention the local sports teams. It made us fans feel like they actually knew and cared about our city.

 

For whatever reason, Flair has the mumbles, and Savage is a bit more subdued then usual, as was noted above. The interesting part of these for me was how the whole segment was framed around Liz, who'd been off the road for two months and wasn't coming back, and Heenan, who wasn't traveling either and was part of Flair's entourage in name only by now. And yet, you still wanted to see Randy save Liz's honor and get his hands on that no-good weasel. What powerful personalities, each in their own way, Liz and Bobby were. Wrestling will never see their like again, that's for sure.

Good local hype, a little low key but still effective.
