Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2004 I believe so. He finally took the time off to have the surgery in June of 1998. Shawn Michaels has wrestled most of 2004 with a torn ACL. Savage tore his ACL on March 30th of 1998. He was wrestling a dark match against Sting at a Saturday Night taping, and blew his knee out then. I don't think he tore it at Havoc, or he'd have taken the time off long before then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Loss Report post Posted November 12, 2004 I stand corrected. The point remains that it's possible, though. I never would have thought it either, but Shawn Michaels tore his ACL in April, I think, and kept wrestling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted November 12, 2004 You can move around ok without an ACL, you just need your knee really really kept tight for everything to be ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder what Savage's excuse is, then, for being less mobile than Drew Bledsoe. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted November 12, 2004 I would imagine the fact that he was a roided up freak by that point in his career would effect his mobility a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never would have thought it either, but Shawn Michaels tore his ACL in April, I think, and kept wrestling. I've gone through some Observers around HH '97, and there isn't anything in them about Savage tearing his ACL doing the leap. I can see Shawn gutting it out, because of his work ethic and pride, but I don't think Savage had that, at least not enough to wrestle for 8 months before getting the surgery. Savage had nothing major going on at the time, so it would have been the perfect time for him to get the surgery done. Plus, with a guarantee of $1m+, he'd have had no incentive to keep going when he could take the time off, and still get a fat wad of cash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted November 12, 2004 I'm ashamed to say that I have yet to watch the Hogan/Piper Cage Match from Havoc 97 (wait...thats probably a good thing), so in a while I'll get to see Savage nearly break his leg doing an elbow drop.

Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2004 Lord, I hope this doesn't lead to a Savage / Jarrett match for the title. But it probably will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slimm44 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2004 Lord, I hope this doesn't lead to a Savage / Jarrett match for the title. But it probably will. Take a look at history...any 'free agent' guy that comes in always gets a title shot before the people that earn it. Raven, D'Lo, Hardy...and now Savage. But hopefully we will see Brown vs Jarrett: Six Months in the making! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Randy Savage had a number of demands in order for him to grace them with his appearance, these included: 1) His own locker room 2) Bodyguards (Bryan Adams a.k.a Crush & Ron Harris) that TNA will pay $1000 each night for and walkie talkies for his bodyguards 3) Jimmy Hart cannot go near him Credit - LAW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
