its good by 1987 WWF standards but pretty tame by modern day's. Also 80's NWA had matches better than this all the time

No, Randy Savage matches are all super low workrate and filled with silly antics that make him look like a geek usually or just the usual dumb chickenshit that slows everything down for little to no payoff.

Only thing about this Ricky Steamboat W3 match was they went "fast" in the way modern synchronized dance routines do, without being obviously phoney.

Rocky Steamboat was one of the handful few interesting in-ring wrestlers of the golden age.

if you've ever seen WWE old school on peacock/wwe network. they actually both have a few matches before their mania match that are just as good. they also have one the same year in madison square garden I'd argue is even better than their mania match

Savage was a cancer and this preplanned bullet-point match is a big part of why wrestling is so shitty these days.
>but the heckin crowd was hot for it
It was a huge house and everyone is always hot at Mania.
You didn't normally need an 80-point list to memorize for a match because you were supposed to play to the crowd and call it in the ring. Yummy wummy sequences for big shows could be worked out in lead-up matches at house or spot shows, and even then, a match like this would kill the locker room's respect for you because how the fuck was anyone supposed to do as good every night

Anon, all wwf matches in that era were more or less preplanned because they did the same fucking match on the road like 50 times before the ppv
