"Have to lay down and be sick" - WWE Hall of Famer details how Macho Man Randy Savage prepared for big matches
The WWE Hall of Famer, Honky Tonk Man, recently spoke about his matches with Macho Man Randy Savage.
The former WWE superstar was on the latest episode of Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw with Gerald Brisco and John Layfield.
The Honky Tonk Man detailed that Randy Savage was very meticulous about his matches. The Hall of Famer recalled Randy coming to the back to look for him and discuss the match. Honky Tonk Man mentioned that Macho Man would get nauseated before big matches and he would get sick or throw up.
Here's what Honky Tonk Man had to say:
"He would come looking... He would go to Jimmy Hart and say, 'Where’s that Honky Tonk Man?' The music would hit, and all of a sudden I would reappear right at the curtain.. so we would just go out there and do it. But I found out we worked a lot better if I let him come and tell me and put it together... It was no big deal. He liked to have it structured. I understand that later on, Randy would get so deathly nauseated before these Saturday Night Main Events and WrestleManias, that he would just have to lay down, be sick and throw up," Honky Tonk Man said.
