Randy Savage Allegedly Really Thought Hulk Hogan Was Trying To Steal Miss Elizabeth From Him
At WrestleMania 5 in 1989, the main event featured a showdown between two former tag team partners of the Mega Powers, namely Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan. The storyline leading up to this match primarily focused on Savage’s character becoming increasingly envious of Hogan due to a fabricated relationship between Hogan and Savage’s wife at the time, Miss Elizabeth, within the wrestling storyline.
While speaking on Story Time with Dutch Mantell, pro wrestling legend Dutch Mantell talked bout Hogan and Savage’s feud. Mantell stated that he believes Savage genuinely thought Hogan was trying to steal Miss Elizabeth from him.
“I think some of that stuff you saw on TV, where he accused Hogan of having eyes for Elizabeth, had a little bit of truth to it in Randy’s head,” Mantell said. “I don’t think Hogan ever looked at her like he would like to take her away from Randy or do something with her away from Randy, but Randy was very, very protective of that woman.”

Savage and Miss Elizabeth would eventually divorce as well, but for many the story was just that, a story.
