#9 Randy Savage becomes angry with HBK and Razor at WM 10

Overtime.

Yet another backstage Wrestlemania story involving the non-kayfabe wrath of Randy Savage. This instance came at Wrestlemania 10 in 1994 and the victims were none other than the two men who arguably stole the show - Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon.

While Mania 10 is seen as Bret Hart's night, fans will always remember the way Shawn and Razor amazed the audience in attendance with the first ever Wrestlemania ladder match. People were quite clearly into this bout, in particular, Shawn's near-impossible athleticism and skill.

Another reason why this show finds its way into the hearts of so many older fans is that it marked the last time Randy Savage would appear at a Wrestlemania event. Perhaps this is why, after the conclusion of Shawn and Razor's classic, the Macho Man confronted the pair backstage, admonishing them for taking too much time out of the card.

Apparently, the pair outright ignored calls from the referee and decided to continue wrestling long after they were due to finish. Of course, there were no actual repercussions from this decision as the show went by without a hitch and is largely considered one of the better Mania shows of all time.

However, when dealing with a purist like Randy Savage, it is understandable that he would have become aggravated at the younger duo for not following orders, no matter how well it turned out. Macho Man - we salute you.
