Randy Savage vs. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania III is considered to be one of the greatest matches of all time. But what some fans may forget is how heated the rivalry was between the two in the build-up to that historic match in Detroit.

In the lead-up to the match, Savage put Steamboat on the shelf for an extended period of time by “crushing his larynx” in an attack with the ring bell. "The Dragon" couldn't even speak on WWF TV for multiple weeks following the injury.

The storyline with Steamboat also incorporated George “The Animal” Steele, who had a longstanding feud with Randy Savage and a crush on the lovely Miss Elizabeth.

The match will always be remembered for its technical execution and false finishes, but the emotion behind the storyline was perhaps equally important in setting them apart as show-stealers.
