And this is at a time he should have been taking care of his wrestlers, not cheating them. So that was that. And that's what happened. And that was the final straw for me. I said, I'll jump into Vince.
Say that again?
I don't know who the best was, but the guy I liked to wrestle and work with the most was Tito Santana. Really? Why? Because Tito and I go back to the AWA, and we were on the same wavelength. He understood my style and he adapted completely to me and he had total confidence that when it was his time, I would always give it to him. And I never had a bad match ever with Tito Santana.
I would say right with him would be Jimmy Snuka. You know?
Jimmy Snuka, Tito Santana.
He was doing everything. And everyone was saying, Jimmy, why are you wasting it here? Get to New York.
There had to have been 10 to 15 people that told Jimmy Snuka to get to New York. And I was one of them because I wanted him there because I knew I wouldn't be far behind. And if he wasn't a villain out there, I knew I'd get to work with him.
What's the most memorable match I ever did was Macho and Steamboat. That's the greatest match in WrestleMania 3.
I vaguely remember it now. That was a good one. Yeah, the Hebner brothers. That was a good one. See, you're reminding me of this stuff. I don't have memory of a lot of it.
And I'll tell you why. When Hogan got me bumped out of WCW, That was it. I stopped watching. I didn't pay attention. I vaguely only remember the rock against Stone Cold. Yeah. I know that was huge, but I wasn't watching it. It had nothing to do with me. And I moved on. Put it this way. I moved on with my life. You moved on, moved forward. I wasn't going to let wrestling define me.
No, certain films have lines that define them. And if you go to Predator, my line is the defining line of the movie. I ain't got time to bleed. I can't argue with that. Okay, just as in Terminator, Arnold's I'll be back.
No. Why would I do that? That's all up to, that's all, there's no one that can say it was or wasn't. That's all up to the discretion of anybody. I'm just saying 20th Century Fox printed it on a T-shirt. And, you know, I feel great because every film usually has one line that defines it.
And I had a supporting role. In fact, the biggest complaint that I receive on Predator is that I died too soon. Well, that's my biggest complaint. But see, then I have to inform you it had to be that way.
Why?
No. No. It had to be that way. You know why? Why? I was the toughest guy. And you noticed I was the only one that had a funeral. Right. Yeah. Okay. And here's the biggest thing. When I died is when the platoon went to shit.
Blaine was dead. Blaine doesn't die. Blaine doesn't die. This guy is the closest thing to Superman. Yeah. He's been through all these wars, all these incursions, walked out of every one of them. How can Blaine be dead? What could kill Blaine? That's why I had to die. Remember when Sonny Landham turns and says, we're all going to die. Because why? Blaine was dead.
Yeah. I was there when John came down. So, so when he became a star later, were you like that guy? No, not at all. John had Jean-Claude had talent. Jean-Claude, uh, he was living out of his trunk at the time. when I met him. And that was the first job he ever got.
And I think he didn't understand that he thought he was going to be running through the jungle and all the girls were going to see his handsome pretty face. And I think when he got down there, he realized nobody was going to see his pretty face. He was going to be inside of some type of suit. And they hired him because they thought he'd be agile with his karate stuff. Well, he wasn't.
Not in that suit. No. And they fired him. And they got Kevin Peter Hall, a seven foot one black man. And Kevin filled out the suit a lot better. How much? I don't know. I never saw the predator. Ever. What do you mean? Until a screening in Chicago. Wow. And what's good about that, I'm not supposed to see it. It's invisible, isn't it?
It was invisible. That's why I couldn't see it in the first place. I only saw it for the first time at a screening in Chicago. We had to pretend it was killing us. We couldn't see it. I never saw what it was going to look like. You were just acting. Yes. I never saw the Predator until they created it long after we were done shooting.
