		Steamboat appeared in the WWF in the summer of 1985, and began using the nickname of "The Dragon" (I believe that it was given to him by ring announcer Howard Finkel, but I could be wrong).
		Steamboat suffered a crushed larynx as a result, and was thought to have reached the end of a magnificent career.
		Steamboat would return for a brief period in 1991 to the WWF, and began bringing a torch to the ring, and "igniting the flame (as though he were breathing fire)" in another attempt by the WWF to insult the intelligence of it's fans.

		Ricky misses the time in the ring, but not the other parts of the wrestling business, including the politics and travel when they had to work more than 300 cities a year.
		Ricky was asked about how he feels when he sees wrestlers who can't do the 'basic' moves, but his biggest concern is seeing wrestlers who can't tell a story during their matches and focus too much on high spots.
		Ricky says that a match with the moves planned out were more difficult because the combinations had to be known and they were quizzing each other.

		Ricky Steamboat: NWA was the highest championship you could win for that company, while the Intercontinental championship was one level below the WWF title, so I would have to give a nod toward the NWA, especially considering all of the great wrestlers who held that belt.
		Ricky Steamboat: No. I has heard that when George Scott was booking for Vince McMahon back in 1985, 1986, that there was consideration that George wanted to put the belt on me, but Hogan squashed that real quick.
