It's clear that other wrestlers witnessed Savage and Steamboat's thievery that night and took note. When Steamboat marched out of Michigan with the IC crown in his grasp, Chris Jericho was one of the spectators left inspired by the moment.
Jericho, who would go on to become intercontinental champion a record nine times, wrote in his autobiography Undisputed , "Ever since I first saw Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat holding that title when I was in high school, it was my biggest goal to one day be the champion just like him. Savage vs. Steamboat was more than the standard babyface-reaches-the-mountaintop tale, though.
The path to The Dragon's victory is what made it so special. The WrestleMania III match showed off what is possible with top-notch performers acting is if they are the main attractions, regardless of where they actually sat on the card.
Johnson, who has been covering pro wrestling for PWInsider. Steamboat changed the game for many performers. WrestleMania wasn't about great matches before Savage vs. Steamboat; it was about big stars and big moments. The Dudley Boyz vs. Steamboat remarked that independent wrestlers or WWE Superstars often approach him to say how much that match meant to them. He's often reminded of its impact but remains humble about it.
We don't have a lot of high-risk moves. These guys today have taken everything to a different level," Steamboat said. To him, however, it wasn't about moves; it was about theater. It clearly spoke to Jericho who sought to recreate its climax over 20 years afterward. Y2J got a chance to take on one of his childhood icons in a brief feud with Steamboat in If he generally believes this then perhaps he needs to continue to shake rattle and roll on the Indie Circuit where he occasional wrestles to this day.

It all just took off like a rocket. We blazed such a trail that it's hard for the young guys to follow that trail. I mean, he retired and came back, and put his boots in the ring and all of that. But this was the final 'final' goodbye.
But opening up and showing people what he was about, that he was totally dedicated to this business, had wrestling in his blood on day one and was a good dude and a family man. I think the whole thing was done really well. It was a good move. Do you wish you had a chance to do a "Last Ride" documentary, with the whole sendoff and stuff?
There's still more business to be done with me even though I'm not actually wrestling anymore. I don't know how to approach that as far as timing goes.
And it could only be done by the WWE, because they're the only ones that could do it correctly and give it justice.
Hopefully, down the road there'll be a spot to do it that way. Obviously, you return to WWE as shows are being held in fan-less environments. I started in the s. The first day I came in to be a wrestler, they broke my leg and said, 'Don't come back. I spent a couple of years learning to get in good shape, how to wrestle and then how to do the professional wrestling scenarios. I didn't plan stuff out.
I just knew who was going to win or lose, and then listen with my heart and my ears with what they wanted to see. You're a three-tier chess player, thinking a few moves ahead every time. Andre [The Giant] taught me that, because Andre basically raised me in this business. How to pace myself in creating emotion and passion and hatred and then blowing the roof off the place when I 'hulked up.
Today, I see guys come right up and take off and hit the ropes. Back in the day, when I was in a rear chin-lock, I would start shaking my ankle and leg a little bit, like I was freaking out. I wouldn't come up out of that chin-lock until the building was about to explode.
It's a different feel with a live crowd. A lot of the superstars that are coming in from the performance center right now are learning to wrestle without a crowd. So I'm not sure there's much of a transition to go out into the ThunderDome without a live crowd.
But for me, it would really affect me until I got my sea legs under me, because when I wrestled, I was so used to the crowd. Even when I'd watch other wrestling shows with fans now, I think about how freaked out I'd be to watch a bunch of people sitting down looking at their iPhones during my matches.
