    I met him in line at a concession stand at a WWF house show in Binghamton NY when I was a kid. It was shortly after he replaced Barry Windham in the US Express. I was scared to say anything to him at first because he was absolutely massive in person. I eventually turned around and waved to him, and he knelt down and talked to me. He was really cool to my dad and I. That was the first time I had ever met a professional wrestler.

    I think I remember Spivey saying that he was pissed that Hawk and Animal were taking liberties with Taker , likely because he was still relatively new. (Hence the beatdown) Animal was interviewed about it and downplayed it…guess it goes back to the old school mentality…a bully isn’t going to stop unless you fight back It’s a damn shame that Spivey had to retire by 96. Imagine a Taker vs Waylon Mercy feud

I had no idea who this substitute partner was w/ Spivey. Now, I realize...it was The Undertaker. lol. So, I actually got to watch Undertaker live from the front row...and had no idea at the time. I didn't even realize Mean Mark Callous and The Undertaker were the same person until around the time Taker retired nearly 3 decades later. lol.

    Wrong. He was there when THEY became stars. His own ego was what kept him from being a star. Everyone he tagged with went on to be a superstar. ‘Taker is off with what he is telling here. Spivey THINKS he tore into the Road Warriors and scared them out of the ring. That stuff was all soft af. Those supposedly hard shots were anything but. The reason they didn’t fight was because it was a work. Mark didn’t know that it was a work because he was, by his own admission, GREEN. They weren’t scared at all. Spivey acts like he scared them by beating them up. Bullshit. Adrian Adonis was a slob. Big deal.

    The Spivey-Adonis story is the one that’s consistent no matter who tells it. Adonis goes for his legs when he got back to the locker room and Danny just fucking destroyed him with left hand after left hand. Hogan said the first punch sounded like a shotgun going off. He messed Adonis bad, like scary bad.

    Theres nothing more badass about a person then to shoot on someone in the ring, and then have that person come up to you after the match, and thank you for putting them in their place. Yes the Road warriors were over, but Dan Spivey was trying to protect Mark, because the Road Warriors were refusing to sell for him, even after they (The sky scrappers) kept jobbing to them, the least you can do is just sell, your already going to win all the matches.

    I had a run in with Dan Spivey when I was about 20 in 1989 at Club Waterloo in Nassau, Bahamas. John "Laryngitis" I mean Laurinitis who was known as Johnny Ace at the time was standing with Spivey to buy a drink at the elevated patio bar and I was standing behind Spivey. Laurinit"ass" pinches Spivey's backside from the side. Spivey turns around and sees my 5 foot 6 inch 140 pound self and gives me a death glare. My brother was next to me and about 5 foot 9 but all I could think was Spivey chokeslamming me over the railing and 8 feet down to the grass. Luckily, Laurinitis must have sensed something about to go down that might land me in a wheelchair, hospital or grave, Spivey in a Bahamian prison and deportation and himself with a lifetime of guilt. He fessed up and Spivey diffused the situation without a hair harmed on my body. Even one of them gay dudes should know never ever touch Dan Spivey without permission. Not a pleasant feeling. Undertaker is probably the friendliest of the 3 WCW "Skyscrapers" but you don't want to make him or Sycho Sid Vicious/Justice mad any more than Spivey. Trust me on that one.

    Greg Valentine saw Adonis about a week later at a venue where Adonis was supposed to wrestle Hogan. Valentine said that he didn't know a human head could swell that big. Adonis looked terrible. Valentine said it looked dangerous, it was so bad. Like he was fearing for Adonis' health. The management ended up sending Adonis home. He said Spivey beat the living f*ck out of Adonis. And up till then, no one knew how dangerous Spivey was.

    Back when I went into the Navy my old DI liked to say that there was no such thing as a tough Guy, there was Trained and there was Untrained, and that was about it, some natural advantages could feed into it, size being chief among them, but in the end it mostly came down to the training. Spivey was a big man with training, a tough guy by the definition of the word, there certainly were tougher but he could take care of himself well, same went for Hawk and Animal, they were ex-football linebackers turned bouncers, they hit hard, they knew how to hit hard, and they had a reputation for working stiff. They also were old-school in that they respected others who could play by the same rules, Game recognizes Game. Were they intimidated by Spivey? Probably not, but they did respect him. Now, that deal with Spivey beating the crap out of Adrian Adonis, it would have been more impressive if Adrian had been younger, healthier weight, 1979 Adrian, 1986 Adrian wasn't nearly as big an issue.
