5 WWE dream matches you didn't know actually happened in WCW

#2: 'Macho Man' Randy Savage vs 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin

Austin lost to the Macho Man before departing for the WWF.

Much like the previous slide about Savage and the Hitman, the Macho Man and the Texas Rattlesnake are considered as two of the biggest stars in wrestling history, but from two very different times. Though Savage was a main event player during the late 80s and early 90s, it would be Stone Cold who would take the top spot in the WWF a decade later as part of the Attitude Era.

Before Austin was levelling Vince McMahon with his 'Stone Cold' Stunner though, he was in WCW, and the pair did cross paths during Savage’s WCW tenure and Austin’s final days with the promotion. The writing was on the wall that guys like Stunning Steve, who had been working their way up the card, were likely not going to reach the mountain top as the company shifted directions to feature former WWE stars.

Before Austin was let go from the company, he quietly put over Savage in a sub-five-minute free TV match. In January 1996, Austin debuted in the WWF as the Ringmaster, and in just over two years, captured the very same WWF title Savage once held.
