Jay Lethal, in an interview with Mike Mooneyham, said he used to do the Macho Man impersonations in the locker room, then one day they asked him to do it on TV.
"Aw, I don't know, I heard the Macho Man was crazy," he told them. "I sure didn't want to do it on TV and have the Macho Man all mad and come after me and kill me."
So they stayed on him and he eventually buckled to peer pressure. Well, he's 22, give the guy a break.
He said the real Savage had actually told him he loved the character. "I actually was able to get in touch with him for about a five-minute conversation. He was all for it. He says he was flattered and thought it was cool that I idolized him. I got the big thumbs-up from him. It's a good thing, too, because I sure didn't want to piss him off".
