One of the most iconic stars of all time, no one could deny that Randy Savage deserved a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame.

A former WWF Champion, Savage would later hold the WCW Championship, and remained a large part of the Georgia-based promotion until its demise in 2001.

As it was collapsing, Savage was offered a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame, though things didn't pan out.

Speaking on the Inside the Ropes podcast, the late 'Mean' Gene Okerlund said that Savage did not want to be associated with the WWE again, and quashed rumors that McMahon had wanted to veto the Macho King entering the Hall of Fame.

After Savage passed though, the former World Champion was inducted posthumously in 2015, being represented by his brother Lanny 'The Genius' Poffo.
