Ric Flair and Randy Savage shared a ring over 100 times during the 90s, with arguably their biggest match taking place at WrestleMania VIII. And most of the matches that were televised were very well-received, Flair has now revealed during a new interview that he and Savage had “terrible chemistry,” noting that he liked to call matches in the ring, while Savage preferred to rehearse.

“We had terrible chemistry. He wanted to rehearse, and I didn’t rehearse. I only did it for WrestleMania. Instead of having a week off, I had to come to Tampa and wrestle for three hours a day with him to memorise a match. And that just wasn’t my style. You have to feel the crowd.”Ric Flair

Many old-school wrestlers argue that calling matches in the ring is the best method, as it enables wrestlers to react to the crowd and tailor the matches to their preference. However, some others, like Savage, prefer to lay out matches in advance to ensure they run as smoothly as possible, which has become more common in recent years. And while both methods have their positives and negatives, it’s mainly an issue for the wrestlers themselves, with most fans being blissfully unaware as they watch the match unfold.
