Sometimes, the fiercest opponents were once stalwart allies, even friends.

Such was the case in the rivalry of Macho Man Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan. Initially, Hogan and Savage were friends, as Hogan would help Randy Savage capture the WWE World title at WrestleMania IV by preventing interference by Andre the Giant and Bobby Heenan.

For a time they teamed together as the Mega Powers and faced off against Andre the Giant and Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase at the first ever SummerSlam. However, Randy Savage's jealousy and paranoia that Hogan was secretly planning to oust him as world champion led to their total meltdown. Savage would destroy his own World Title belt in a fit of rage, and attack Hogan backstage.

It all set the stage for their brutal bout at Wrestlemania V, where Miss Elizabeth ostensibly took a neutral stance but repeatedly interfered to keep Hogan from destroying Savage.
