[As Savage climbs to the top rope with the bell, Steele shoves him off]
Flagrant interference from the outside.
The Animal pushed him right off. I think the bell rang Savage in the head, Jess. But the champ still in control... [Savage attempts to body slam Steamboat, who grabs the leg and rolls into a small package] No, small package by the Dragon.
[Hebner counts to three]
No!
He got him! I don't believe it! History is made!
You talk about a miscarriage of justice, Monsoon! Flagrant outside interference on the part of Animal Steele!
History made here in the Silverdome for WrestleMania III!
Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this contest...and NEW Intercontinental Champion: Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat!
Standing ovation by this capacity crowd, Elizabeth was in tears, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat the new Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion.
Well, all I've got to say, Gorilla Monsoon, is that Steamboat'd better cut that belt in half and give half of it to George "The Animal" Steele, because without "Animal" Steele's flagrant interference, "Macho Man" Randy Savage would've won; he had Steamboat pinned for 30 or 40 seconds. Deny that.
But the referee was out of it, Jess. I'm not denying that fact.
