Steamboat

By Scott Keith on 13 July 2019

Hey Scott, hope all is well with you. When Steamboat won the IC Title after WM 3, what was the plan? I heard he wanted time off for the birth of his child and that why he dropped the title to the Honky Tonk Man. But, if he didn't take off, would Steamboat have kept the IC title for an extended run? Did Savage and Steamboat even have house show matches after WM3?

Yeah, they had a bunch in the month following the show. Steamboat wasn't going to be a long-term champion even if he stuck around, though. Once the story of his triumph was told, he dropped off quickly again. If Honky didn't beat him, someone else was going to by August.
