3) Randy Savage loses the WCW Heavyweight Championship to Hogan

Randy Savage is undoubtedly one of the greatest professional wrestlers in the history of the business. His legendary match with Ricky Steamboat at WrestleMania III was ahead of its time, and Randy helped the business evolve with his colorful gimmick, outlandish mannerisms and unmatched charisma. In early 90s, Savage left WWE due to his differences with Vince McMahon, and signed up with WCW.

In April 1998 at Spring Stampede, Savage faced Sting for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. With a little help from Nash, Savage defeated Sting to win the World title, albeit tearing the ACL in his knee in the process. The next night on Nitro, Hollywood Hogan faced Savage for the title, and while Nash tried to help Savage, Bret Hart interfered and cost Savage the title!

A year later, in an all too familiar situation, Savage won the WCW Heavyweight title for the fourth and final time in his career at the Bash at the Beach PPV. The next night on Nitro, Savage faced Hogan with the title on the line, and Hogan once again won the title from Savage, this time thanks to interference from Kevin Nash.
