Before their epic encounter at WrestleMania III in March 1987 at the old Pontiac Silverdome, World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental champion “Macho Man” Randy Savage (RIP, Mach) compared challenger Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat to a cup of coffee.
During a backstage speaking segment with the late great “Mean” Gene Okerlund, Savage compared Steamboat to a dropped mug and saying that it was his “cup of coffee in the big time,” meaning he would flop in the spotlight and fail to defeat Savage to win the title on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
Steamboat went on to beat Savage in what many consider one of the greatest matches in WrestleMania history.
