Heartbreak and Happiness: 10 Wrestlemania Moments that Take You on an Emotional Roller Coaster

Happiness #2: The Reunion of Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth

A heartbreaking moment for Savage opens the door for a show-defining joy

"The Macho Man" Randy Savage and his glamorous valet, Miss Elizabeth, were WWF's power couple from the moment Savage debuted in McMahon's territory. Savage had treated Elizabeth possessively through much of his early heel run, and arrogantly had Elizabeth hold the ring ropes open for Savage's entrances.

Macho Man's babyface turn and Wrestlemania IV championship tournament victory softened his approach to his beautiful manager, but jealousy would simmer throughout the remainder of 1988, as Savage suspected flames between Elizabeth and friendly rival Hulk Hogan. That rivalry would turn bitter, as both the WWF Title and Miss Elizabeth would leave Savage's side come Wrestlemania V, and a new arrogant streak developed in the soon-to-be-dubbed "Macho King," due in part to his new valet, "Sensational" Queen Sherri [Martel].

After costing The Ultimate Warrior his WWF Championship against Sgt. Slaughter at the 1991 Royal Rumble, Savage found himself in a retirement match against the facepainted phenom at Wrestlemania VII; five flying elbowdrops could not put down The Warrior, and Savage found himself conquered and forced to retire.

The reunion that made wrestling fans believe in love again

Frustrated by Savage's inability to finish, Martel vented her anger by attacking the now-retired King, and Elizabeth could take no more; she jumped the guardrail and bounded into the ring to defend her former love. Savage would show true growth by opening the ropes for Elizabeth this time as the pair departed; their kayfabe relationship rekindled for a SummerSlam wedding (though the two had long been married in real life).
