Miss Elizabeth was one of the most popular stars in WWE, back in the 80s. As Randy Savage's manager, she portrated the role of a babyface to perfection. Savage and Hulk Hogan formed The Mega Powers at one point, which was the most dominant duo in WWE for months on end.

It all ended when Savage began getting insecure and accused Hogan of trying to get too close to Elizabeth and wanting to steal her from him. The feud culminated at WrestleMania 5, where Hogan defeated Savage to win the WWE title.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

Savage's character in this feud mimicked his real-life issues in regards to Elizabeth. He was overly protective of her in real life as well, and the duo eventually got divorced. Savage bashed Hogan on several occasions after his pro-wrestling career came to an end. He also accused Hogan of being responsible for his divorce with Elizabeth. Savage passed away in 2011 after suffering a heart attack while driving his jeep in Florida.
