Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan dominated WWE throughout their time together, but this legendary run came to quite an abrupt end more than three decades ago this week.

The Macho Man's jealousy surrounding his wife Miss Elizabeth became too much when Hogan fell out of the ring during their match against The Twins Towers. The Immortal One fell onto Elizabeth, then carried her to the back before making his return to the match.

Hogan then tagged in, but Savage slapped him on the way out before going on to pick up the victory. After the match, Savage accused Hogan of trying to steal Miss Elizabeth before the issues between the two men became physical.

Macho Man hit Hogan with the WWF Championship and the two then started to brawl, forcing several referees and officials to run to the ring to split them up.

This fight signaled the end of The Mega Powers and also set up a match between the two in the main event of WrestleMania V.
