00:00Um, more than they'll ever know.
00:08People always wanted to paint us as enemies,
00:12but we were actually very, very close friends.
00:17And, um, we kept up with each other on a regular basis, so...
00:24I just talked to Jimmy Hart yesterday, and he was fine.
00:29To have this happen is just horrible.
00:32How did you get the news?
00:34I'm so sorry, Rick. I am so sorry.
00:37Oh, I've gotten it from everybody. My boat won't stop.
00:41We had magic. I mean, it wasn't like me and Steamboat,
00:44but we had, we just had a chemistry that was,
00:49I felt like equal to me and Steamboat, but in a different way.
00:55And he was so over.
00:58I mean, I went, when I went there in the 90s,
01:01I had never seen anything like it in my life.
01:04And the music started, and he came down the hallway,
01:07and, I mean, I would get him down for two minutes,
01:11and we'd have, it's just an unbelievable relationship.
01:15I mean, and I'll give you an idea of how much fun we had working together.
01:20If we were doing a dark match after TV,
01:24we would go and he'd say, room service, and throw me in,
01:28give me the boot, drop the big leg at me.
01:32And we got back in the hotel for room service.
01:35I mean, that's how much fun we had working together.
01:40Thank you very much.
01:41Thank you very much,
01:43thank you very much.
