185
00:08:23,754 --> 00:08:27,797
They wanted you to love elizabe.

186
00:08:27,841 --> 00:08:29,424
Picture of elizabeth.

187
00:08:29,468 --> 00:08:31,259
No picture of the macho man ran.

188
00:08:31,303 --> 00:08:34,930
That's very, very, very bad, el.

189
00:08:34,973 --> 00:08:37,057
Randy would bring her out. She'.

190
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:38,391
He'd get in the ring, he'd circ,

191
00:08:38,435 --> 00:08:40,101
and then he'd get out, "no, I t"

192
00:08:40,145 --> 00:08:43,104
the people were hating randy jug

193
00:08:43,148 --> 00:08:44,189
the beautiful young girl.

194
00:08:44,233 --> 00:08:45,982
Like, "you can do better than h!

195
00:08:46,026 --> 00:08:47,275
Get away from him."

196
00:08:47,319 --> 00:08:48,276
and there would be times randy d

197
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,364
give liz a look and just... (in)

198
00:08:52,407 --> 00:08:54,407
turn his head and give her thos,

199
00:08:54,451 --> 00:08:56,451
and she would almost be subserv.

200
00:08:56,495 --> 00:08:59,579
Macho man randy savage, isn't t?

201
00:08:59,623 --> 00:09:01,998
- Right, randy. - Shut up and k.

202
00:09:02,042 --> 00:09:03,333
If I lose tonight, it's your fa!

203
00:09:03,377 --> 00:09:07,128
Each time he did, they just, "o"

204
00:09:07,172 --> 00:09:09,839
you know, and that's exactly wh.

205
00:09:09,883 --> 00:09:12,300
And you want liz to see the lig.

206
00:09:12,344 --> 00:09:14,803
But liz, underneath this, you'r,

207
00:09:14,846 --> 00:09:16,721
she loves her man.

208
00:09:16,765 --> 00:09:19,891
And you infer that randy mistre,

209
00:09:19,935 --> 00:09:25,146
but he never really does. He's .

210
00:09:25,190 --> 00:09:28,483
By the spring of 1987, elizabete

211
00:09:28,527 --> 00:09:30,860
red hot and are about to make hf

212
00:09:30,904 --> 00:09:33,321
a record-breaking crowd of 93,0.

213
00:09:33,365 --> 00:09:36,241
Wrestlemania 3 was, at the time,

214
00:09:36,285 --> 00:09:37,450
the largest indoor attendance r.

215
00:09:37,494 --> 00:09:40,278
I mean, the largest gathering if

216
00:09:40,289 --> 00:09:41,538
any event in the world.

217
00:09:41,582 --> 00:09:46,501
Oh, jesus. It was unbelievable,.

218
00:09:46,545 --> 00:09:48,920
90,000 people.

219
00:09:48,964 --> 00:09:51,289
I had alice cooper with me.

220
00:09:51,324 --> 00:09:53,800
I mean, the electricity from th.

221
00:09:53,844 --> 00:09:56,803
I mean, your skin is crawling ae

222
00:09:56,847 --> 00:09:57,929
your hair is growing.

223
00:09:57,973 --> 00:10:01,099
The randy savage- ricky steambo,

224
00:10:01,143 --> 00:10:03,310
wrestlemania 3, I think a lot or

225
00:10:03,353 --> 00:10:05,520
one of the greatest matches of .

226
00:10:05,564 --> 00:10:07,731
Two of the greatest athletes thn

227
00:10:07,766 --> 00:10:10,191
in my life. All that athleticis,

228
00:10:10,235 --> 00:10:13,612
all the drama, all that excitem.

229
00:10:13,655 --> 00:10:17,240
It killed him that he could nev.

230
00:10:17,284 --> 00:10:18,408
He was a perfectionist,

231
00:10:18,452 --> 00:10:22,037
and perfectionists are never ha.

232
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,789
The thing with savage I learned,

233
00:10:24,833 --> 00:10:26,249
when I started working with sav.

234
00:10:26,293 --> 00:10:29,085
Trying to hold him down.

235
00:10:29,129 --> 00:10:32,255
Because, he always wanted to gi.

236
00:10:32,299 --> 00:10:34,758
Well, sometimes you can give to.

237
00:10:34,801 --> 00:10:37,510
Two years after their debut,

238
00:10:37,554 --> 00:10:41,097
randy and elizabeth are taking ,

239
00:10:41,141 --> 00:10:42,974
but a surprising twist in theird

240
00:10:43,018 --> 00:10:50,315
propel them to the top of the w.

241
00:10:50,359 --> 00:10:51,024
I pulled out a bunch of picture,

242
00:10:51,068 --> 00:10:53,109
that had liz and randy.

243
00:10:53,153 --> 00:10:55,111
This is sweet.

244
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:57,739
There's randy and liz. This was.

245
00:10:57,783 --> 00:10:59,199
We were just hanging out in flo.

246
00:10:59,242 --> 00:11:02,786
Polaroid picture, macho.

247
00:11:02,829 --> 00:11:05,580
A picture of elizabeth, so swee.

248
00:11:05,615 --> 00:11:07,374
So, macho man, he always kept eh

249
00:11:07,417 --> 00:11:09,084
in the dressing room, so nobody.

250
00:11:09,127 --> 00:11:13,713
Then one night, macho came into,

251
00:11:13,757 --> 00:11:15,590
(gruff voice) "where's linda?"

252
00:11:15,634 --> 00:11:19,594
and, ah, "liz needs some help w"

253
00:11:19,638 --> 00:11:22,681
(laughs) and she had her hair kd

254
00:11:22,724 --> 00:11:25,600
and tightly curled, and it was ,

255
00:11:25,644 --> 00:11:28,728
and I said, "bitch, you need to"

256
00:11:28,772 --> 00:11:30,063
you know, and so, I started like

257
00:11:30,107 --> 00:11:33,191
getting her hair teased up and .

258
00:11:33,235 --> 00:11:35,151
She's like, "oh yeah, I like th"

259
00:11:35,195 --> 00:11:36,861
once we all realized that, hey,.

260
00:11:36,905 --> 00:11:38,071
"oh, you live in tampa?"

261
00:11:38,115 --> 00:11:39,489
"yeah, I live in clearwater. I .

262
00:11:39,533 --> 00:11:42,492
You know, we all kind of lived ,

263
00:11:42,527 --> 00:11:44,244
hey, let's all get together, yo.

264
00:11:44,287 --> 00:11:46,788
It was nice because when we did,

265
00:11:46,832 --> 00:11:48,248
I could call on her and she cou,

266
00:11:48,375 --> 00:11:52,076
and we could either go shopping.

267
00:11:52,087 --> 00:11:53,962
And, it was just great 'cause ad

268
00:11:54,005 --> 00:11:55,422
somebody to do something with.

269
00:11:55,465 --> 00:11:58,258
Hulk would have big parties ove,

270
00:11:58,301 --> 00:11:59,634
you know, and randy and liz wou.

271
00:11:59,678 --> 00:12:02,429
And it seems like that's when s,

272
00:12:02,472 --> 00:12:06,182
when she could be out around th.

273
00:12:06,226 --> 00:12:07,434
You know, we'd be out barbequind

274
00:12:07,477 --> 00:12:08,852
the weekend before.

275
00:12:08,895 --> 00:12:10,895
Terry would always kind of like,

276
00:12:10,939 --> 00:12:12,522
"here's how I want to run it," d

277
00:12:12,566 --> 00:12:14,357
throw in some ideas, you know.

278
00:12:14,401 --> 00:12:15,859
And liz would always just go al,

279
00:12:15,902 --> 00:12:18,278
talking about the "angle".

280
00:12:18,321 --> 00:12:20,822
The hotter the heel, and peoplee

281
00:12:20,866 --> 00:12:23,283
will begin to respect you.

282
00:12:23,326 --> 00:12:26,870
And, randy was so good, he was .

283
00:12:26,913 --> 00:12:29,122
The audience liked him and it w.

284
00:12:29,166 --> 00:12:32,292
Randy savage was really catchine

285
00:12:32,335 --> 00:12:35,462
and people had, had grown to...

286
00:12:35,505 --> 00:12:37,505
Really love the macho man.

287
00:12:37,549 --> 00:12:40,008
By the end of 1987,

288
00:12:40,051 --> 00:12:41,593
the fans'love for randy savage s

289
00:12:41,636 --> 00:12:44,304
a revelation in vince mcmahon,

290
00:12:44,347 --> 00:12:47,131
a partnership with the company'e

291
00:12:47,142 --> 00:12:49,350
a team unlike anything pro wres.

292
00:12:49,394 --> 00:12:52,020
The two biggest names in the wre

293
00:12:52,063 --> 00:12:53,396
are gonna combine forces, you k,

294
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,901
the madness in hulkamania combi.

295
00:12:57,944 --> 00:12:59,486
With the madness and the mania..

296
00:12:59,529 --> 00:13:01,029
- They got powers. - Yeah!

297
00:13:01,072 --> 00:13:02,071
I mean, who's gonna match up ag?

298
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:05,909
By the summer of 1988, hogan an,

299
00:13:05,952 --> 00:13:08,486
with elizabeth as their manager.

300
00:13:08,497 --> 00:13:10,079
They've destroyed all challengee

301
00:13:10,123 --> 00:13:12,207
only place left to turn is on e.

302
00:13:12,250 --> 00:13:15,794
What we knew is that we would h.

303
00:13:15,837 --> 00:13:18,463
You create the mega powers for ,

304
00:13:18,507 --> 00:13:22,550
especially when one is a parano,

305
00:13:22,594 --> 00:13:25,303
and the other is the all-americ.

306
00:13:25,347 --> 00:13:29,140
And what is the easiest thing

307
00:13:29,184 --> 00:13:30,716
for two men to argue about?

308
00:13:30,751 --> 00:13:32,310
A woman.

309
00:13:32,354 --> 00:13:34,479
Summer slam '88.

310
00:13:34,514 --> 00:13:36,940
Randy hoists liz up on his shou,

311
00:13:36,983 --> 00:13:38,942
and when he does, there's like ,

312
00:13:38,985 --> 00:13:41,486
hulk puts his hand up to steady.

313
00:13:41,530 --> 00:13:43,029
(gruff voice) "freeze it!

314
00:13:43,073 --> 00:13:47,116
Look at how long his hand is on!

315
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,994
Nobody touches elizabeth, un-uh"

316
00:13:50,038 --> 00:13:52,730
there was hulk, "say your praye"

317
00:13:52,732 --> 00:13:55,166
you know, "here's the american "

318
00:13:55,210 --> 00:13:56,876
and here's randy going, "you knk

319
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,420
you're as truthful as everybody"

320
00:13:59,464 --> 00:14:02,507
they don't realize that underne,

321
00:14:02,551 --> 00:14:03,508
he's been boiling.

322
00:14:03,552 --> 00:14:06,719
You got lust in your eyes

323
00:14:06,763 --> 00:14:10,515
and in your black heart, for el!

324
00:14:10,550 --> 00:14:13,426
Randy is the jealous raving lune

325
00:14:13,461 --> 00:14:17,212
best friend who's trying to scr.

326
00:14:17,214 --> 00:14:19,148
Picked her up and put elizabeths

327
00:14:19,192 --> 00:14:23,653
never been before, on top of an!

328
00:14:23,697 --> 00:14:26,823
It's easy for him to blow it oue

329
00:14:26,867 --> 00:14:28,116
you can tell the jealousy side .

330
00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:32,161
He's blinded by love and he's b.

331
00:14:32,205 --> 00:14:34,414
He's paranoid.

332
00:14:34,457 --> 00:14:36,040
He's got the championship; he'sd

333
00:14:36,084 --> 00:14:37,959
on his back, so of course everyo

334
00:14:38,003 --> 00:14:40,378
knock him off, even his best fr.

335
00:14:40,422 --> 00:14:41,713
His best friend's not only tryi,

336
00:14:41,756 --> 00:14:43,172
he's trying to take my girl.

337
00:14:43,216 --> 00:14:44,465
That really played off randy's ,

338
00:14:44,509 --> 00:14:47,635
and it was real, so that's what.

339
00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:50,638
The twin towers - big boss man -

340
00:14:50,682 --> 00:14:52,682
against, you know, randy and hu.

341
00:14:52,726 --> 00:14:55,602
But there was a point in the mak

342
00:14:55,645 --> 00:14:59,314
a bump out and ended up taking .

343
00:14:59,357 --> 00:15:01,900
Hulk sees that she's hurt,

344
00:15:01,943 --> 00:15:04,903
carries her back to get her hel.

345
00:15:04,946 --> 00:15:06,237
"you're hovering over her, over.

346
00:15:06,281 --> 00:15:08,781
How dare you!

347
00:15:08,825 --> 00:15:11,409
I'm out there fighting for my l,

348
00:15:11,453 --> 00:15:12,869
but you're more concerned about.

349
00:15:12,913 --> 00:15:15,204
It all makes sense now!"

350
00:15:15,248 --> 00:15:17,248
when you take a look at the mad,

351
00:15:17,292 --> 00:15:20,585
all you're gonna see is

352
00:15:20,629 --> 00:15:26,549
complete and utter rage!

353
00:15:26,593 --> 00:15:29,177
Match made.

354
00:15:29,220 --> 00:15:31,888
What corner is elizabeth gonna ?

355
00:15:31,932 --> 00:15:33,640
Well, a lot of people wondered,

356
00:15:33,683 --> 00:15:35,433
did randy really control her in;

357
00:15:35,477 --> 00:15:36,809
absolutely.

358
00:15:36,853 --> 00:15:39,062
Randy...

359
00:15:39,105 --> 00:15:43,191
Very protective of her, man. Go.

360
00:15:43,234 --> 00:15:47,320
I mean, he would get visibly upt

361
00:15:47,364 --> 00:15:51,032
tried to talk to her or carry o.

362
00:15:51,076 --> 00:15:53,201
He just did not like it.

363
00:15:53,244 --> 00:15:56,287
When they would be getting read,

364
00:15:56,322 --> 00:15:58,206
we didn't want any malfunctions,

365
00:15:58,249 --> 00:16:02,293
so he would literally take the .

366
00:16:02,337 --> 00:16:05,755
And like wrap it all around her.

367
00:16:05,799 --> 00:16:07,715
And then, the other big thing ws

368
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:10,093
always in a short dress was, ged

369
00:16:10,136 --> 00:16:11,886
entering the ring over the rope,

370
00:16:11,930 --> 00:16:13,346
and was she gonna go over the s?

371
00:16:13,390 --> 00:16:14,597
She should go under it.

372
00:16:14,641 --> 00:16:17,225
This was all a big huge thing fe

373
00:16:17,268 --> 00:16:18,685
this was his wife. He loved and,

374
00:16:18,728 --> 00:16:22,647
and he didn't want anybody to b.

375
00:16:22,691 --> 00:16:24,732
He was definitely in charge of d

376
00:16:24,776 --> 00:16:26,901
she was just the tag along.

377
00:16:26,945 --> 00:16:30,196
And, I think that that started .

378
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,323
I think that started to just un.

379
00:16:32,367 --> 00:16:36,119
That may have been where a lot .

380
00:16:36,162 --> 00:16:38,079
In wrestlemania 5, are you gonnn

381
00:16:38,123 --> 00:16:41,499
the macho man randy savage's co?

382
00:16:41,543 --> 00:16:44,702
When you take real life situatit

383
00:16:44,713 --> 00:16:47,296
in front of the camera, it's gre

384
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:48,673
it's usually very relatable.

385
00:16:48,717 --> 00:16:50,008
- No, no. - (cheering)

386
00:16:50,051 --> 00:16:54,095
however, when you take your reau

387
00:16:54,139 --> 00:16:58,891
put them on camera, and you mak,

388
00:16:58,935 --> 00:17:01,144
'cause they don't know you...

389
00:17:01,187 --> 00:17:05,148
They don't know what you guys d.

390
00:17:05,191 --> 00:17:07,358
They have no clue.

391
00:17:07,393 --> 00:17:09,569
But, they know you're really maw

392
00:17:09,612 --> 00:17:11,946
what you said on tv, you sorry .

393
00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:15,450
Life imitating art...

394
00:17:15,493 --> 00:17:18,786
And sometimes art imitates life.

395
00:17:18,830 --> 00:17:25,752
And then you get really     ed .

396
00:17:25,795 --> 00:17:28,004
Being on the road 24/7 with you,

397
00:17:28,048 --> 00:17:30,631
it's not an easy task.

398
00:17:30,675 --> 00:17:33,426
You know, elizabeth, as his wif,

399
00:17:33,470 --> 00:17:36,179
had those same duties as I did.

400
00:17:36,222 --> 00:17:37,972
I did travel with randy and liz,

401
00:17:38,016 --> 00:17:43,269
and their relationship was that.

402
00:17:43,313 --> 00:17:44,395
They didn't go out and party.

403
00:17:44,439 --> 00:17:46,230
They went back to the room and ,

404
00:17:46,274 --> 00:17:48,483
and they had their privacy.

405
00:17:48,526 --> 00:17:51,027
You'd get back to the room, ando

406
00:17:51,071 --> 00:17:53,988
scrub the blood off the boots l,

407
00:17:54,032 --> 00:17:55,615
from their wrestling match.

408
00:17:55,658 --> 00:17:56,657
You know, you'd put the wrestlie

409
00:17:56,701 --> 00:17:58,725
bath tub of the hotel and wash ,

410
00:17:58,727 --> 00:18:00,203
get all the blood off 'cause the

411
00:18:00,246 --> 00:18:03,790
next night, and I'm sure he prod

412
00:18:03,833 --> 00:18:04,874
and I'm sure she probably didn',

413
00:18:04,918 --> 00:18:07,251
you know, and maybe she did and.

414
00:18:07,295 --> 00:18:11,881
Then, her, unlike me, she has t.

415
00:18:11,925 --> 00:18:13,049
What the hell dress is she gonn?

416
00:18:13,093 --> 00:18:16,135
I had my wife involved for a wh.

417
00:18:16,179 --> 00:18:18,346
It's brutal, man, having your w.

418
00:18:18,389 --> 00:18:19,722
They did practical jokes that w.

419
00:18:19,766 --> 00:18:25,353
I'm telling ya, they used peopl.

420
00:18:25,396 --> 00:18:27,772
There were no boundaries; that .

421
00:18:27,807 --> 00:18:29,440
I mean, you know, cutting somebf

422
00:18:29,484 --> 00:18:31,567
while they're passed out, or, I,

423
00:18:31,611 --> 00:18:33,528
I wouldn't want my wife around .

424
00:18:33,571 --> 00:18:35,947
The pattern seemed to be that rp

425
00:18:35,990 --> 00:18:39,826
elizabeth away from "the boys" .

426
00:18:39,869 --> 00:18:41,327
And... You know, there's...

427
00:18:41,371 --> 00:18:43,037
I don't blame him, really.

428
00:18:43,081 --> 00:18:45,832
Randy being so intense and bein,

429
00:18:45,875 --> 00:18:49,168
she couldn't have freedom.

430
00:18:49,212 --> 00:18:49,919
And I think, I think you can't y

431
00:18:49,963 --> 00:18:52,547
all the time like that.

432
00:18:52,590 --> 00:18:55,166
Elizabeth wanted to leave the rd

433
00:18:55,176 --> 00:18:57,426
she wanted randy to quit.

434
00:18:57,470 --> 00:19:00,263
Randy wasn't done yet. Randy wa.

435
00:19:00,306 --> 00:19:02,140
I knew she needed to have more ,

436
00:19:02,183 --> 00:19:06,310
and more friends, and she misse.

437
00:19:06,354 --> 00:19:10,022
Liz, apparently, was looking fo,

438
00:19:10,066 --> 00:19:12,608
than I realized at the time.

439
00:19:12,652 --> 00:19:14,485
By 1990, an exhausted elizabethr

440
00:19:14,529 --> 00:19:16,445
some time off the road,

441
00:19:16,489 --> 00:19:17,780
and the wwf seized this as an oy

442
00:19:17,824 --> 00:19:22,160
to reinvent the macho man into .

443
00:19:22,203 --> 00:19:23,953
We did randy as the heel.

444
00:19:23,997 --> 00:19:25,621
We made randy the macho king,

445
00:19:25,665 --> 00:19:28,249
and thought that sensational shi

446
00:19:28,293 --> 00:19:30,251
to be his manager, another femad

447
00:19:30,295 --> 00:19:31,836
make her the queen.

448
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,838
Sherri was a women's wrestler,

449
00:19:33,873 --> 00:19:34,964
and the guys loved working withe

450
00:19:35,008 --> 00:19:37,800
she could take it, she was toug.

451
00:19:37,844 --> 00:19:39,051
Queen sherri adds a whole new de

452
00:19:39,095 --> 00:19:43,097
macho man's character, but the e

453
00:19:43,141 --> 00:19:45,308
wrestling's first lady back in .

454
00:19:45,351 --> 00:19:49,020
Every day that randy spent with,

455
00:19:49,063 --> 00:19:51,355
"let's bring-- where's elizabet"

456
00:19:51,399 --> 00:19:54,775
I mean, the people hungered for.

457
00:19:54,819 --> 00:19:56,569
Going into wrestlemania, randy o

458
00:19:56,613 --> 00:19:58,529
take the summer off.

459
00:19:58,564 --> 00:20:00,865
He and liz were looking to spens

460
00:20:00,909 --> 00:20:04,952
husband and wife, not being on .

461
00:20:04,996 --> 00:20:07,747
So the idea was, at wrestlemani,

462
00:20:07,790 --> 00:20:10,708
have a, a career match with the.

463
00:20:10,752 --> 00:20:11,834
If warrior lost, he was gone.

464
00:20:11,878 --> 00:20:13,961
If randy lost, he was gone.

465
00:20:14,005 --> 00:20:15,588
We'd shown, earlier in the nigh,

466
00:20:15,632 --> 00:20:20,009
that in attendance that night w,

467
00:20:20,053 --> 00:20:21,552
sitting like in the 4th row.

468
00:20:21,596 --> 00:20:26,182
And, when sherri started to kic,

469
00:20:26,217 --> 00:20:29,435
liz made her way to the ring an,

470
00:20:29,479 --> 00:20:31,562
and you know, liz is there figh,

471
00:20:31,606 --> 00:20:35,266
and people were... Are slowly a,

472
00:20:35,276 --> 00:20:38,986
and you see grown men with tear.

473
00:20:39,030 --> 00:20:40,279
That's emotional. That's good s.

474
00:20:40,323 --> 00:20:42,156
We got 'em...

475
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,532
Because it, it was...

476
00:20:43,576 --> 00:20:46,410
They felt it, you know, and peo,

477
00:20:46,454 --> 00:20:48,663
you know, the getting back toge,

478
00:20:48,706 --> 00:20:50,122
getting back to the one you rea.

479
00:20:50,166 --> 00:20:53,751
Elizabeth...

480
00:20:53,795 --> 00:20:56,629
Will you marry me?

481
00:20:56,673 --> 00:20:59,090
Despite being married in real l,

482
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:00,424
which was kept secret from fans,

483
00:21:00,468 --> 00:21:03,761
randy and elizabeth's charactert

484
00:21:03,805 --> 00:21:07,014
on live television on August th.

485
00:21:07,058 --> 00:21:09,058
Oh, yeah.

486
00:21:09,102 --> 00:21:11,185
(cheering)

487
00:21:11,229 --> 00:21:12,937
and they were excited. I mean, ,

488
00:21:12,972 --> 00:21:16,190
they were like two kids plannin.

489
00:21:16,234 --> 00:21:17,358
I think it was just the first te

490
00:21:17,402 --> 00:21:19,443
macho man break down and have a,

491
00:21:19,487 --> 00:21:20,820
other than anger.

492
00:21:20,863 --> 00:21:24,407
You saw him actually happy, andy

493
00:21:24,450 --> 00:21:29,120
care for someone outwardly, whi.

494
00:21:29,163 --> 00:21:34,458
Liz and randy are having this b.

495
00:21:34,502 --> 00:21:35,751
Now cue the devil.

496
00:21:35,795 --> 00:21:37,837
♪

497
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,131
and, at the reception bullshit..

498
00:21:40,174 --> 00:21:41,924
(screams)

499
00:21:41,968 --> 00:21:44,135
putting the snake in the box an,

500
00:21:44,178 --> 00:21:45,594
and that got it started, that k.

501
00:21:45,638 --> 00:21:48,264
14, 15-foot king cobra.

502
00:21:48,308 --> 00:21:50,141
Look at that son of a bitch.

Beautiful, beautiful     ing an.

504
00:21:53,229 --> 00:21:57,023
Randy came to me and said, (gru,

505
00:21:57,066 --> 00:22:01,861
I hear we're gonna do something"

506
00:22:01,904 --> 00:22:03,738
I'm like, "yeah, man. A snake's"

507
00:22:03,781 --> 00:22:09,452
and he's like, "yeah, so... Has"

508
00:22:09,495 --> 00:22:10,619
"    , yeah!

00:22:13,958 --> 00:22:15,791
Of course it's been fixed!"

00:22:15,835 --> 00:22:18,753
"maybe it has and maybe it hasn.

512
00:22:18,796 --> 00:22:21,881
How about the snake biting you "

00:22:21,924 --> 00:22:22,923
"     you, man. I ain't     ing"

514

"oh, oh, you don't want it to b.

515
00:22:27,055 --> 00:22:28,637
'cause if you won't let the sna,

00:22:28,681 --> 00:22:31,098
that tells me it hasn't been fi"

517
00:22:31,142 --> 00:22:34,310
and he was dead     ing serious.

518
00:22:34,354 --> 00:22:36,187
I went and got the snake, and rg

519
00:22:36,230 --> 00:22:38,481
and let it bite me.

520
00:22:38,524 --> 00:22:41,400
And, he's like, "don't move. Do.

521
00:22:41,444 --> 00:22:43,402
Don't take no antidote, don't t,

00:22:43,446 --> 00:22:46,364
no     ing nothing, brother."

523
00:22:46,399 --> 00:22:49,492
! For like 20 minutes, man,,

524
00:22:49,535 --> 00:22:52,912
"I guess you're okay. How do yo"

525
00:22:52,955 --> 00:22:55,664
"pissed off right now, to be ho"

526
00:22:55,708 --> 00:22:57,333
so when it was time for that sn,

527
00:22:57,377 --> 00:22:58,709
I got the snake out and turned ,

528
00:22:58,753 --> 00:23:02,129
and I     ing paint-brushed the,

529
00:23:02,173 --> 00:23:05,341
pissed it off. And then,

530
00:23:05,385 --> 00:23:07,760
whenever I turned around that s"

531
00:23:07,804 --> 00:23:09,595
you know, he was ready.

532
00:23:09,639 --> 00:23:12,932
And I got him close to randy and

533
00:23:12,975 --> 00:23:16,018
would not let go.

534
00:23:16,062 --> 00:23:19,230
I mean, the time that you see is

535
00:23:19,273 --> 00:23:22,608
nothing to the real time. It we.

536
00:23:22,652 --> 00:23:24,360
Vince wound up sending elizabet,

537
00:23:24,404 --> 00:23:27,905
"get the snake off of him. Get !

538
00:23:27,949 --> 00:23:30,441
Vince said now!" I'm like, "I'm"

539
00:23:30,476 --> 00:23:32,368
and I'm pulling on the snake an.

540
00:23:32,412 --> 00:23:35,371
It's just chewing on him. And I.

541
00:23:35,415 --> 00:23:36,622
First time it's ever been done,

542
00:23:36,666 --> 00:23:40,709
it shocks people, man. The, the.

543
00:23:40,753 --> 00:23:43,212
Bottom line is nobody ever felt.

544
00:23:43,256 --> 00:23:44,839
They felt sorry for her.

545
00:23:44,882 --> 00:23:47,925
And it's not a good situation.

546
00:23:47,969 --> 00:23:50,511
Like with me, whenever I slappe,

547
00:23:50,555 --> 00:23:55,307
and then they tried to go home ,

548
00:23:55,351 --> 00:23:57,101
grandpa meets him on the porch ,

549
00:23:57,145 --> 00:23:58,978
"you're not coming in this hous.

550
00:23:59,021 --> 00:24:02,523
You promised us you'd always pr"

551
00:24:02,567 --> 00:24:06,735
the only way he could gain accee

552
00:24:06,779 --> 00:24:09,405
was basically kicking my ass an,

553
00:24:09,449 --> 00:24:10,739
so to speak.

554
00:24:10,783 --> 00:24:15,161
You know, these are tennessee f.

555
00:24:15,204 --> 00:24:16,328
Wrestling's real. People are fa.

556
00:24:16,372 --> 00:24:17,580
(laughs)

557
00:24:17,623 --> 00:24:19,832
producer: What was the state ofp

558
00:24:19,876 --> 00:24:20,791
at the time they were getting m?

559
00:24:20,835 --> 00:24:22,793
I would say tumultuous.

560
00:24:22,837 --> 00:24:24,295
On the verge of breaking up.

561
00:24:24,338 --> 00:24:25,796
(zap)

562
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,132
so, terry had been cast in a mo.

563
00:24:28,176 --> 00:24:29,508
It's called mr. Nanny.

564
00:24:29,552 --> 00:24:32,219
It required us to be down in mio

565
00:24:32,263 --> 00:24:35,973
liz called and goes, "when are "

566
00:24:36,017 --> 00:24:37,558
and I said, "I'm going back the"

567
00:24:37,602 --> 00:24:41,353
she's like, "oh," she's like, ""

568
00:24:41,397 --> 00:24:42,188
I heard her talking to him in t.

569
00:24:42,231 --> 00:24:44,023
She's like, "can I please go?

570
00:24:44,066 --> 00:24:45,733
I want to go help linda with th.

571
00:24:45,776 --> 00:24:47,776
I just want to go see them and h

572
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:49,487
nick and brooke in the pool and"

573
00:24:49,530 --> 00:24:51,989
and he's like, "well, only if ye

574
00:24:52,033 --> 00:24:54,074
babysitting and you're gonna be"

575
00:24:54,118 --> 00:24:55,784
she flew down with us. It was s.

576
00:24:55,828 --> 00:24:57,286
She helped me unload the kids,

577
00:24:57,330 --> 00:24:58,537
we got the toys, we were hangin.

578
00:24:58,581 --> 00:25:00,664
We were all gonna go out to din,

579
00:25:00,708 --> 00:25:02,666
I said, so, I'll just go get re,

580
00:25:02,710 --> 00:25:05,169
come back from your workout or .

581
00:25:05,213 --> 00:25:06,754
7:30, I'm thinking like, aren'to

582
00:25:06,797 --> 00:25:09,206
our makeup together and our hai,

583
00:25:09,217 --> 00:25:10,841
which is what we always did, soe

584
00:25:10,885 --> 00:25:13,761
knocking on her door and I see ,

585
00:25:13,804 --> 00:25:17,264
I can see under the door, but s.

586
00:25:17,308 --> 00:25:24,021
I'm like, "where's liz?"

587
00:25:24,065 --> 00:25:27,066
in 1992, leaving her husband ra,

588
00:25:27,109 --> 00:25:29,109
elizabeth travels alone to miamh

589
00:25:29,153 --> 00:25:32,446
hulk hogan and his wife, linda.

590
00:25:32,490 --> 00:25:35,032
Terry had to film the next morne

591
00:25:35,076 --> 00:25:36,659
whole next day goes on and I se.

592
00:25:36,702 --> 00:25:38,285
I'm like, "liz, where were you?"

593
00:25:38,329 --> 00:25:39,620
you know, "we were worried abou"

594
00:25:39,664 --> 00:25:41,372
and she's like, "oh, well, I men

595
00:25:41,415 --> 00:25:44,458
that lives in the building and m

596
00:25:44,502 --> 00:25:45,459
here in the building, and he,

597
00:25:45,503 --> 00:25:48,671
he thought maybe I'd want to ta"

598
00:25:48,714 --> 00:25:51,090
the way I heard the story was td

599
00:25:51,133 --> 00:25:53,676
away from randy, and so, she co,

600
00:25:53,719 --> 00:25:57,763
linda, and went and stayed with.

601
00:25:57,807 --> 00:25:59,848
Now meanwhile, randy is freakine

602
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:03,686
he doesn't know where the love .

603
00:26:03,729 --> 00:26:05,938
Randy kept calling my room want,

604
00:26:05,982 --> 00:26:09,233
and I was like, "liz is not her"

605
00:26:09,277 --> 00:26:10,067
(laughs) I didn't say she had h.

606
00:26:10,111 --> 00:26:12,069
I just said, "she's not here.

607
00:26:12,113 --> 00:26:12,987
I think she's with friends," or,

608
00:26:13,030 --> 00:26:14,154
and he goes, "well, where is sh"

609
00:26:14,198 --> 00:26:16,740
I was like, "she's not here, sh"

610
00:26:16,784 --> 00:26:18,242
randy was like, "I'm gonna fly ,

611
00:26:18,286 --> 00:26:21,412
"don't tell her because I, I do.

612
00:26:21,455 --> 00:26:23,122
You know, she's never like missd

613
00:26:23,165 --> 00:26:24,707
she should be answering.

614
00:26:24,750 --> 00:26:26,417
She should at least be calling "

615
00:26:26,460 --> 00:26:29,295
three hours later, he lands, co,

616
00:26:29,338 --> 00:26:30,546
blazing in the door.

617
00:26:30,590 --> 00:26:34,133
Blazing guns of fire, looking f,

618
00:26:34,176 --> 00:26:37,469
and I'm sitting there and he's "

619
00:26:37,513 --> 00:26:40,306
I was like, "randy, look. I don"

620
00:26:40,349 --> 00:26:42,558
he's like, "what?" you know,

621
00:26:42,602 --> 00:26:44,310
"where do you think she is?"

622
00:26:44,353 --> 00:26:46,353
you know, "who was she with las?

623
00:26:46,397 --> 00:26:48,439
What did you guys do?

624
00:26:48,482 --> 00:26:51,025
I'm gonna go find liz and I wan,

625
00:26:51,068 --> 00:26:53,611
and if you so much as leave thid

626
00:26:53,654 --> 00:26:56,572
you smarten her up and tell her,

627
00:26:56,616 --> 00:26:58,490
you're gonna hear about it."

628
00:26:58,534 --> 00:27:00,659
I'd never seen randy like this e

629
00:27:00,703 --> 00:27:02,870
because I'd never even seen the.

630
00:27:02,913 --> 00:27:04,705
Seriously, I really hadn't.

631
00:27:04,749 --> 00:27:06,915
So, him and terry went out the ,

632
00:27:06,959 --> 00:27:09,043
and I didn't know what was goin.

633
00:27:09,086 --> 00:27:10,336
I just knew I wasn't leaving th.

634
00:27:10,379 --> 00:27:11,503
And, I guess he found her.

635
00:27:11,547 --> 00:27:14,173
Terry came back to the room and,

636
00:27:14,216 --> 00:27:15,591
"I left them on their own. They"

637
00:27:15,635 --> 00:27:17,968
so they got in their rental care

638
00:27:18,012 --> 00:27:21,138
and he basically told terry in ,

639
00:27:21,182 --> 00:27:23,682
like, "liz is not coming back td

640
00:27:23,726 --> 00:27:25,142
there's no more hanging out. Pa.

641
00:27:25,186 --> 00:27:27,853
This is ridiculous. She just we.

642
00:27:27,897 --> 00:27:31,982
I think randy felt, you know, a,

643
00:27:32,026 --> 00:27:36,070
that hulk was taking liz's side.

644
00:27:36,113 --> 00:27:37,488
Well, that was the beginning of,

645
00:27:37,531 --> 00:27:41,617
but beginning of the end for rae

646
00:27:41,661 --> 00:27:43,994
randy always thought that hulk .

647
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:46,246
And, I'm with-- I've been with .

648
00:27:46,290 --> 00:27:47,539
Hulk had nothing to do with tha.

649
00:27:47,583 --> 00:27:49,708
He was shooting the doggone mov.

650
00:27:49,752 --> 00:27:52,461
I think that when, when you sepe

651
00:27:52,505 --> 00:27:56,548
she's at home and he's on the r.

652
00:27:56,592 --> 00:27:59,218
All of a sudden, it's a newfound

653
00:27:59,261 --> 00:28:02,179
that's a whole brand new life o.

654
00:28:02,223 --> 00:28:03,514
You know, it was just a normal .

655
00:28:03,557 --> 00:28:04,723
I was just home with the kids...

656
00:28:04,767 --> 00:28:07,851
Beautiful day out, and this is e

657
00:28:07,895 --> 00:28:12,523
5, 6 weeks after we wrapped fil.

658
00:28:12,566 --> 00:28:13,774
You know, hard line phones.

659
00:28:13,818 --> 00:28:15,234
I'm in the kitchen.

660
00:28:15,277 --> 00:28:17,027
I'm giving nick a bottle or wha,

661
00:28:17,071 --> 00:28:19,029
and it's liz. I'm like, "hey, l!

662
00:28:19,073 --> 00:28:20,280
God, I miss you. How are you?"

663
00:28:20,324 --> 00:28:22,533
you know...

664
00:28:22,576 --> 00:28:25,202
And it was like dead silent on .

665
00:28:25,246 --> 00:28:29,123
I was like, "liz?" she's like, .

666
00:28:29,166 --> 00:28:33,419
I left randy."

667
00:28:33,462 --> 00:28:36,213
I was listening to her and she ,

668
00:28:36,257 --> 00:28:37,506
sounded like she was at a gas s.

669
00:28:37,550 --> 00:28:39,466
I could hear cars going by on t.

670
00:28:39,510 --> 00:28:40,384
I was like, oh my god.

671
00:28:40,428 --> 00:28:41,593
She goes, "I'm done. I left him"

672
00:28:41,637 --> 00:28:43,971
and I said, "oh my god." I said?

673
00:28:44,014 --> 00:28:45,514
Can I come help you? Can I talk"

674
00:28:45,558 --> 00:28:48,684
I was like, I need to talk some.

675
00:28:48,728 --> 00:28:49,810
And, she wasn't home. She goes,

676
00:28:49,854 --> 00:28:51,603
"nope. I'm halfway to miami.

677
00:28:51,647 --> 00:28:53,564
I'm going back. I met some peop.

678
00:28:53,607 --> 00:28:55,315
I got a place to stay." she goe,

679
00:28:55,359 --> 00:29:00,738
"just promise me, don't tell ra"

680
00:29:00,781 --> 00:29:02,072
she had a convertible, little r.

681
00:29:02,116 --> 00:29:06,034
And I, I just-- the mental pict,

682
00:29:06,078 --> 00:29:07,703
like a country music video or s,

683
00:29:07,747 --> 00:29:10,164
with two suitcases in the back e

684
00:29:10,207 --> 00:29:14,042
down to miami with the wind blo,

685
00:29:14,086 --> 00:29:17,087
probably feeling free and reliee

686
00:29:17,131 --> 00:29:21,383
constant submission that randy .

687
00:29:21,427 --> 00:29:22,551
And it wasn't that he was tryint

688
00:29:22,595 --> 00:29:24,595
out of being mean or anything.

689
00:29:24,638 --> 00:29:26,638
It was just his protective way,

690
00:29:26,682 --> 00:29:28,724
but she had just had enough of .

691
00:29:28,768 --> 00:29:33,187
When randy and liz split up, yos

692
00:29:33,230 --> 00:29:34,855
a change in the macho man.

693
00:29:34,899 --> 00:29:36,356
You know, he was a little drawn.

694
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,611
He really wasn't as intense as .

695
00:29:40,654 --> 00:29:45,532
Once she was gone, he really ki.

696
00:29:45,576 --> 00:29:48,410
He lost all...

697
00:29:48,454 --> 00:29:50,370
He didn't really care about the,

698
00:29:50,414 --> 00:29:52,080
you know, it was like the light,

699
00:29:52,124 --> 00:29:53,999
but nobody's home.

700
00:29:54,043 --> 00:29:57,419
Sad, but yet, there was that ex,

701
00:29:57,463 --> 00:29:58,921
"okay, I've gotta move on."

702
00:29:58,964 --> 00:30:01,465
I think randy was tormented.

703
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:03,133
You know, I mean, he had all th,

704
00:30:03,168 --> 00:30:04,501
all the stuff, and all that, bu,

705
00:30:04,512 --> 00:30:06,762
(gruff voice) he was never...

706
00:30:06,806 --> 00:30:08,931
I don't know; he was always so ,

707
00:30:08,974 --> 00:30:11,058
and I'm thinking "mach, like, y"

708
00:30:11,101 --> 00:30:13,060
like, what's missing?

709
00:30:13,103 --> 00:30:15,604
Like, what's it gonna take to m?

710
00:30:15,648 --> 00:30:18,816
One day, we were sitting in the.

711
00:30:18,851 --> 00:30:21,401
Ah, waiting for vince to come d,

712
00:30:21,445 --> 00:30:24,053
taking forever, and vince gets ,

713
00:30:24,055 --> 00:30:26,532
shuts the door and says, "gentls

714
00:30:26,575 --> 00:30:30,828
now the proud property of world"

715
00:30:30,863 --> 00:30:36,041
and, we're like...

716
00:30:36,085 --> 00:30:42,256
"what happened?"

717
00:30:42,299 --> 00:30:47,177
wcw was owned by ted turner, th.

718
00:30:47,212 --> 00:30:51,923
Ted turner had started to try ae

719
00:30:51,958 --> 00:30:54,935
wwf over to wcw.

720
00:30:54,979 --> 00:30:58,730
Hulk hogan was the first talent.

721
00:30:58,774 --> 00:31:01,358
The macho man, randy savage, her

722
00:31:01,402 --> 00:31:04,611
because the wwe, randy had been

723
00:31:04,655 --> 00:31:06,905
put out to pasture by vince mcm.

724
00:31:06,949 --> 00:31:09,575
And vince mcmahon basically sai.

725
00:31:09,618 --> 00:31:12,244
Your gimmick's over, your shtic.

726
00:31:12,288 --> 00:31:13,245
You're gonna be a colour commen"

727
00:31:13,289 --> 00:31:15,664
and that hurt randy.

728
00:31:15,708 --> 00:31:17,541
I didn't want to reinvent a whed

729
00:31:17,585 --> 00:31:19,668
already worked. And by the way,

730
00:31:19,712 --> 00:31:21,336
when randy savage came over...

731
00:31:21,380 --> 00:31:23,213
(shattering glass)

732
00:31:23,248 --> 00:31:24,673
- want to spice up your life? -!

733
00:31:24,717 --> 00:31:25,966
Have a slim jim!

734
00:31:26,010 --> 00:31:29,761
...$750,000 a year of slim jim ,

735
00:31:29,805 --> 00:31:35,601
and slim jim wasn't interested .

736
00:31:35,644 --> 00:31:38,228
Wcw has given the macho man a r,

737
00:31:38,272 --> 00:31:40,564
but his protective nature won'te

738
00:31:40,608 --> 00:31:42,357
his one true love behind.

739
00:31:42,401 --> 00:31:44,526
Randy called her up and said, ".

740
00:31:44,570 --> 00:31:47,779
You can be a part of the story "

741
00:31:47,823 --> 00:31:50,449
he's divorcing elizabeth at thi,

742
00:31:50,492 --> 00:31:52,034
but cares about her enough thata

743
00:31:52,077 --> 00:31:54,620
250 grand a year contract,

744
00:31:54,663 --> 00:31:56,121
just to kind of stand around an.

745
00:31:56,165 --> 00:31:57,748
She wasn't even on camera much,

746
00:31:57,791 --> 00:31:59,958
but he wanted her looked after.

747
00:32:00,002 --> 00:32:02,210
Except this time, she was the vd

748
00:32:02,254 --> 00:32:03,545
randy was the babyface. It was .

749
00:32:03,589 --> 00:32:04,838
She had changed so much.

750
00:32:04,882 --> 00:32:08,300
She wasn't like the same little.

751
00:32:08,344 --> 00:32:11,011
She was more talkative. So, I s"

752
00:32:11,055 --> 00:32:13,305
I go, "are you dating anybody, "

753
00:32:13,349 --> 00:32:16,725
she goes, "well, I'm kind of, l"

754
00:32:16,769 --> 00:32:19,186
and I go, "you're like seeing l"

755
00:32:19,229 --> 00:32:21,271
I go, "lex is married."

756
00:32:21,306 --> 00:32:23,315
and she goes, "I know; that's t"

757
00:32:23,359 --> 00:32:28,654
I go, "liz, that's not good."

758
00:32:28,697 --> 00:32:31,198
lex luger was oftentimes consid,

759
00:32:31,241 --> 00:32:32,824
the second coming of hulk hogan.

760
00:32:32,868 --> 00:32:37,996
Lex had a million-dollar body a.

761
00:32:38,123 --> 00:32:41,324
Lex luger is a, one of the top r

762
00:32:41,335 --> 00:32:43,418
in professional wrestling histo.

763
00:32:43,462 --> 00:32:45,671
He's easy to hate because it's -

764
00:32:45,714 --> 00:32:47,005
there's nothing wrong with him.

765
00:32:47,049 --> 00:32:50,717
She was... Head over heels over.

766
00:32:50,761 --> 00:32:51,969
I could tell that.

767
00:32:52,012 --> 00:32:55,681
Paired together as part of a wr,

768
00:32:55,724 --> 00:32:58,141
elizabeth and lex luger's profep

769
00:32:58,185 --> 00:33:00,143
evolves into a secret love affa.

770
00:33:00,187 --> 00:33:02,396
They were a very happy couple.

771
00:33:02,439 --> 00:33:03,981
They'd go work out at the gym t.

772
00:33:04,024 --> 00:33:05,774
They would spend a lot of time .

773
00:33:05,818 --> 00:33:07,484
They were being a little bit sn,

774
00:33:07,528 --> 00:33:09,695
but adjoining rooms and stuff, .

775
00:33:09,738 --> 00:33:11,029
And I guess you can't help who d

776
00:33:11,073 --> 00:33:13,865
who you fall in love with, and d

777
00:33:13,909 --> 00:33:15,534
I always liked liz. And hey,

778
00:33:15,577 --> 00:33:18,620
if you guys make each other hap.

779
00:33:18,664 --> 00:33:21,540
So, when the ideas started bount

780
00:33:21,583 --> 00:33:23,625
blurring the lines, if you will,

781
00:33:23,669 --> 00:33:26,086
between scripted and reality

782
00:33:26,130 --> 00:33:28,588
with regard to elizabeth's relay

783
00:33:28,632 --> 00:33:30,173
and their marriage and their di.

784
00:33:30,217 --> 00:33:32,384
Randy, she's your ex-wife...

785
00:33:32,428 --> 00:33:35,887
At least you owe her this much,.

786
00:33:35,931 --> 00:33:37,014
I was really shocked at first td

787
00:33:37,057 --> 00:33:40,100
entertain some of those ideas.

788
00:33:40,144 --> 00:33:44,021
I'm really lost and I need you,.

789
00:33:44,056 --> 00:33:45,230
I don't think I can reach you.

790
00:33:45,274 --> 00:33:48,692
He was still very protective of,

791
00:33:48,727 --> 00:33:50,485
but in a much different way.

792
00:33:50,529 --> 00:33:52,729
He watched lex like a hawk.

793
00:33:52,740 --> 00:33:54,448
It wasn't just that they were I;

794
00:33:54,491 --> 00:33:57,117
lex was married and he had kids.

795
00:33:57,161 --> 00:33:58,401
Everybody knows that that's gony

796
00:33:58,412 --> 00:33:59,870
one way or the other.

797
00:33:59,913 --> 00:34:01,496
"where are you living?

798
00:34:01,540 --> 00:34:02,998
You have an apartment or whatev"

799
00:34:03,042 --> 00:34:04,541
she's like, "no, he's... He's g,

800
00:34:04,585 --> 00:34:07,627
he's keeping me in, but the wein

801
00:34:07,671 --> 00:34:09,796
the same complex of where he an"

802
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,425
I go, "oh..." I said, "this is "

803
00:34:13,469 --> 00:34:18,722
it was pretty apparent also tha.

804
00:34:18,766 --> 00:34:20,515
They were pilled up.

805
00:34:20,559 --> 00:34:25,187
They were just spending too muc.

806
00:34:25,230 --> 00:34:29,232
I've never witnessed her doing ,

807
00:34:29,276 --> 00:34:31,860
and in fact, when we'd go out a,

808
00:34:31,904 --> 00:34:33,987
she'd have two glasses of wine e

809
00:34:34,031 --> 00:34:35,822
already like feeling it.

810
00:34:35,866 --> 00:34:37,699
I'm like, "oh, it's time to go .

811
00:34:37,743 --> 00:34:40,786
Thing is, liz doesn't weigh 270.

812
00:34:40,829 --> 00:34:44,039
Liz, liz weighs about 85 pounds,

813
00:34:44,083 --> 00:34:46,625
so she's taking...

814
00:34:46,668 --> 00:34:49,044
Same amount of pills that a 300.

815
00:34:49,088 --> 00:34:50,754
You know, they had some kind ofd

816
00:34:50,798 --> 00:34:53,131
she fell down the stairs, and

817
00:34:53,175 --> 00:34:54,841
she ended up with two black eye.

818
00:34:54,885 --> 00:34:58,386
In April of 2003, squad cars rea

819
00:34:58,430 --> 00:35:00,764
domestic disturbance at the hom.

820
00:35:00,808 --> 00:35:02,641
Upon their arrival, the police e

821
00:35:02,684 --> 00:35:04,801
elizabeth has bruised eyes.

822
00:35:04,812 --> 00:35:07,020
At first she denies the injurie,

823
00:35:07,064 --> 00:35:08,480
but she eventually admits to ths

824
00:35:08,515 --> 00:35:10,190
that he did hit her.

825
00:35:10,234 --> 00:35:11,233
Luger was charged with a misdemt

826
00:35:11,276 --> 00:35:12,984
of battery and released on bail.

827
00:35:13,028 --> 00:35:17,072
I thought, falling down the sta?

828
00:35:17,116 --> 00:35:19,407
Hm...

829
00:35:19,451 --> 00:35:21,159
Producer: Talk about the idea of

830
00:35:21,203 --> 00:35:23,286
getting lex luger on your podcat

831
00:35:23,330 --> 00:35:24,579
and talk about that process andu

832
00:35:24,623 --> 00:35:26,206
wanted to talk to him about.

833
00:35:26,250 --> 00:35:29,876
When nick, my producer and co-h,

834
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,711
suggested it, you know, that we,

835
00:35:31,755 --> 00:35:35,340
you know, I was, I had mixed em,

836
00:35:35,384 --> 00:35:37,509
I still...

837
00:35:37,553 --> 00:35:41,596
Honestly, lex, I'm sorry, but I,

838
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,058
even during the time we were ma,

839
00:35:45,102 --> 00:35:47,269
but lex rose to the occasion.

840
00:35:47,312 --> 00:35:49,771
He was, he was brutally honest.

841
00:35:49,815 --> 00:35:55,277
I, I'll never forget...

842
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,654
The, ah-- it was actually early,

843
00:35:57,698 --> 00:36:00,365
we were having just an evening r

844
00:36:00,409 --> 00:36:03,493
and she came back and had been

845
00:36:03,528 --> 00:36:07,330
sipping on some vodka and poppi,

846
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:11,042
literally, before the 9-1-1 cal,

847
00:36:11,086 --> 00:36:12,669
I realized she'd stopped breath.

848
00:36:12,713 --> 00:36:15,255
9-1-1: Okay, what I want you to,

849
00:36:15,299 --> 00:36:16,756
I want you to go over and see I.

850
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,886
Lex: I can't tell.

851
00:36:20,929 --> 00:36:22,846
9-1-1: I understand that, sir.

852
00:36:22,890 --> 00:36:27,392
I have somebody on the way, but,

853
00:36:27,436 --> 00:36:29,060
you need to help her breathe.

854
00:36:29,104 --> 00:36:31,688
You need to find out whether or.

855
00:36:31,732 --> 00:36:36,902
Go over to her... Sir.

856
00:36:36,945 --> 00:36:39,321
9-1-1: Lay down and check to se.

857
00:36:39,364 --> 00:36:44,993
Look at her chest, see if it's .

858
00:36:45,037 --> 00:36:47,913
Terry called me and he just sai,

859
00:36:47,956 --> 00:36:51,166
"really, really bad news. Liz I"

860
00:36:51,210 --> 00:36:52,542
and, like, when he said that,

861
00:36:52,586 --> 00:36:56,671
I just felt like somebody poure.

862
00:36:56,715 --> 00:36:59,591
Oh, I was at home in atlanta.

863
00:36:59,635 --> 00:37:04,221
Heard it on the morning news.

864
00:37:04,264 --> 00:37:05,931
I was pissed.

865
00:37:05,974 --> 00:37:13,146
I was pissed because I saw lex..

866
00:37:13,190 --> 00:37:16,358
Manipulating and exploiting a v,

867
00:37:16,401 --> 00:37:19,444
and using prescription drugs to.

868
00:37:19,488 --> 00:37:20,820
Lex: They told me that elizabet.

869
00:37:20,864 --> 00:37:23,698
I thought she was gonna make ito

870
00:37:23,742 --> 00:37:26,201
the hospital, and then I heard .

871
00:37:26,245 --> 00:37:29,996
Then, I was arrested on, I thin,

872
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,582
and all the drugs they found in.

873
00:37:32,617 --> 00:37:34,125
Thought I had the drugs under c,

874
00:37:34,169 --> 00:37:36,169
but I ended up having--

875
00:37:36,213 --> 00:37:38,672
getting control of elizabeth an,

876
00:37:38,715 --> 00:37:42,801
and the tragedy of that, to wit,

877
00:37:42,844 --> 00:37:45,303
it was a very dark time, withou.

878
00:37:45,347 --> 00:37:46,680
I knew he was telling the truth.

879
00:37:46,723 --> 00:37:50,976
I knew he was being honest and .

880
00:37:51,019 --> 00:37:53,687
I look at him so differently no.

881
00:37:53,730 --> 00:37:56,481
Ah...

882
00:37:56,525 --> 00:38:00,318
I respect him, which I never th.

883
00:38:00,362 --> 00:38:02,570
I want to ask you about miss el,

884
00:38:02,614 --> 00:38:04,489
you know, her loss and everythi.

885
00:38:04,533 --> 00:38:07,367
Earlier in your career, you guys

886
00:38:07,411 --> 00:38:09,577
helped each other out in your c.

887
00:38:09,621 --> 00:38:13,206
Yeah, we were actually married ,

888
00:38:13,250 --> 00:38:14,833
like, which happens in life som,

889
00:38:14,876 --> 00:38:17,419
and we had separation, we had c.

890
00:38:17,462 --> 00:38:19,629
But, really feeling real bad fo.

891
00:38:19,673 --> 00:38:23,383
And a situation where we hadn'tn

892
00:38:23,427 --> 00:38:25,260
about maybe 5, 6 years, but, yo,

893
00:38:25,304 --> 00:38:27,846
we had closure and we said hell.

894
00:38:27,889 --> 00:38:30,849
But, feel bad for her family.

895
00:38:30,892 --> 00:38:33,310
Elizabeth tragically passed awa,

896
00:38:33,353 --> 00:38:37,314
but grieving fans would have noa

897
00:38:37,357 --> 00:38:45,655
was approaching its final chapt.

898
00:38:45,699 --> 00:38:48,241
This is my brother getting marre

899
00:38:48,285 --> 00:38:52,078
second time to the lovely lynn .

900
