The “Macho Man” Randy Savage was famously intense, often blending the lines between his real-life and pro wrestling personalities. One common denominator existed between the two facets that comprised Savage and his well-documented jealousy: Miss Elizabeth.
Speaking with Steve Austin on his podcast, The Steve Austin Show, Hulk Hogan recounted an incident in Paris between himself and the late “Macho Man” Randy Savage.
“When I first met Randy, man, he was the best at everything. I loved working with him. The only really b***h we had was in Paris, France one night,” Hogan said. “Elizabeth was my manager, and we went to the ring in Paris. There were no steps. Elizabeth was probably 95 or 100 pounds soaking wet. So I reached over the top rope, reached all the way over where she’s standing next to me, and grabbed her by the armpits. I picked her all the way up, she had a dress on, and put her in the ring.”
Randy Savage took issue with this, claiming that Hogan had inappropriately touched Elizabeth whilst lifting her into the ring.
He remembered Randy saying “‘You son of a b*tch you grabbed her boobs’… We walk up and he grabs a headlock on me, but he puts that side headlock on me. I’m hanging in—I’m hanging in there—and I didn’t want my eyeball to pop out, so I grab his waist and I squeezed. ‘Randy, if you don’t let go, I’m going to dump you on your head.’”
“He was so pissed at me,” Hogan recalled. “The match sucked; we had a horrible match… We went back to the dressing room in Paris, and I walked in. I said, ‘Randy, we need to talk right now.’ I reached to open the door, and when I pulled the door I ripped it off the hinges. The door was so old and so rotted by termites… So, me and Randy went in the back and [he said] ‘Hey, man, I’m sorry I got mad.’ I said, ‘Randy, I’m sorry too. I didn’t mean to touch her inappropriately – there were no steps.’ But I think the door is the thing that kind of cooled everything down, it was hanging on by a thread.”
Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage would ultimately feud after their Mega Powers tag team split because of Savage’s increasing paranoia and jealousy over Hogan and Elizabeth. The two would clash in the main event of WrestleMania V, with Hogan walking away victorious.
