Tell some of our viewers here what was going through your mind when you got to hold this belt

for the first time.

Well, the first thing that crossed my mind when I got to touch this belt was it automatically transferred me back to 1987, 1986.

I, uh, I used to attend matches at the garden, as you know, and I used to sit very close to the, you know, the entrance way for the wrestlers where they came through the curtain, uh, in hopes that I could, you know, get a hand on a wrestler or get a high five from somebody.

But I was really there for Randy and, uh, This exact belt, my hand had touched so many times at the Garden.

As a kid, you got it.

As a child, as I watched Randy Savage defend this title.
