Before the match, another wrestler, Eddie Gilbert, gave Adrian Street insight into how Randy Savage works. He told Street how Savage spits and gets coca-cola from the people and throws over them. Macho Man was just working his gimmick here.

Street went to Macho Man’s dressing room to confront him. He said, “They reckon we’re doing a program together.” “I said let’s get one thing straight if you spit at me or throw coca-cola or anything like that over me, especially when I’m wearing it in my gowns. I said I’ll rip your throat out and make you eat it.”, Street added.

Macho Man, with all respect, said he would avoid those things against him. Adrian Street was the only one considered in the industry who would bring Savage to his place.

Macho Man was not a wrestler, says Adrian Street

On the show during the interview, Adrian also talked about Savage’s wrestling abilities. Macho Man was a professional baseball player before becoming a pro-wrestler. Savage’s hands were pretty strong because of baseball training.
