10 Most Shocking WWE Heel Turns Ever

#3 Randy Savage - 1989

The Mega Powers Explode

Hulk Hogan and 'Macho Man' Randy Savage formed a dream team back in late 1987. After being bitter rivals years previous, Hogan aided Savage during an assault from the Honky Tonk Man. Afterwards, Savage extended his hand in friendship to Hogan, who accepted and the Mega Powers were born.

They teamed together for over a year, feuding with the like of André the Giant and Ted DiBiase before Savage grew anger regarding Hogan's behavior towards their manager and Randy's wife, Miss Elizabeth.

During a match with The Twin Towers on NBC's prime-time special, The Main Event in February 1989, Akeem threw Savage out of the ring. Savage was thrown onto Elizabeth, knocking her unconscious. Hogan saw what happened and carried Elizabeth from the ring to the medical area.

When Elizabeth was revived, she implored a distraught Hogan to return to the ring to help Savage. When Hogan returned, Savage was furious with being abandoned during the match, and slapped Hogan in the face and took his World Championship belt, and stormed back to the locker room.

Randy accused Hogan of trying to steal Elizabeth from him and manipulate the belt away from him. Hogan implored Elizabeth to try and talk some sense into him before Savage attacked him by hitting him in the face with the title belt, sealing the end to their partnership and beginning their feud.
