Randy tried to protect her and when she refused, she ended up on drugs and with a married wrestler who did drugs with her …randy was right... She lost her life way too soon
Facts!!!!😂😂😂😂
Randy Savage was known to be very controlling to Ms Elizabeth according to hulk Hogan and his ex wife Linda Hogan
@@marioalcime3460 coz he knew how twisted the buisness was , look how worse her life got, she died frtom the very lifestyle randy ddnt want for her
@@marioalcime3460According to hulk hogan… that man has never told the truth in his life
@@southsudani983 doesn't mean you have to be controlling of your life partner ever ... you can show concern without showing your own insecurities as a guy
Randy is a true champion. Also I mean come on, diving elbow drop from the top versus a little legdrop? No contest
Actually, the jump wasn't nearly as impressive as the speed & athleticism he had to get to the top. His combination of athleticism, physique & mic skills were as good as it gets.
Savage was the greatest talent in the history of the business
A few things:
1: I'm pretty sure Randy had OCD and, as someone with OCD myself, I can say Randy's OCD was probably a factor in his treatment of Elizabeth. One symptom of OCD is intrusive thoughts, so it's possible Randy's OCD caused him to think Elizabeth would leave him or cheat on him. Keep in mind, this was the 80's, and seeking mental help back then was probably considered to be for "wimps".
2: After she left Randy but before she dated Lex Luger, Elizabeth was married to a lawyer (who's name I can't remember). However, the marriage only lasted 2 years.
3: Lex Luger allegedly beat Elizabeth. The police were called to their house one night and they found Elizabeth with various bumps and bruises.
Randy was so much better than Hulk better in ring presence in my eyes and can high fly which Hulk can't let the madness live on RIP Macho
I had a couple of coworkers lied and said cm punk was better wrestler than randy savage. I called B.S on them.
Savage was my favourite wrestler EVER
Zd d
😊Cd😊d 😊#"
I agree 100%%
a part of me will always blame Luger for the death of the 1st Lady of Wresting. Randy may have been a bit crazy, but he was right to protect her from the locker room.
My favorite wrestler ever, though I'm aware that he wasn't a perfect person. No one is.
Still, Randy and Miss Elizabeth's relationship was potent, and has been made immortal due to the fascinating blend of reality and fiction that is wrestling.
The Macho Man's charisma is legendary, and combined with his in-ring ability, you've got yourself one for the ages. OH yeeeeEEAH
They're remarried in heaven now for 12 years
Snap into a slim-jim!
She was alive with Randy but died with Lex and I ain’t blaming Lex he was struggling himself but let’s be real people shit on Randy but again he was better for her than someone that simply allowed her to do what made her feel good which ultimately led to her death. Sad for the both of them the wrestling business takes 20 years off your life or at least use to.
I have a hard time blaming Randy for his overprotective behavior. I mean you got to think about the fact that he and Elizabeth were heels in a time when people believed this s*** was real. In addition to that, we've heard all the backstage stories and how wild and crazy that could be. I can't blame him. You see what happened when he wasn't around...
You have to check out Ted debiases on a podcast. Randy went overboard. He literally didn't rent a hotel when he was on the road with Elizabeth. He went ahead and fucking made her sleep in a rental car. Come on man. No wonder she dumped his ass.
It's a shame how people don't know the difference between being overprotective and being controlling. They're not the same thing.
Overprotective leads to controlling
He was a jealous controlling idiot don't try stick up for him
@@ajones35 Controlling leads to Overprotecting
@@JLvatron That's for your non contribution, fake troll account
If you're so smart tell us the difference. What was point of your original comment?
Randy & Liz were like wine & cheese, just perfect together. Wrestling Royalty at it's finest!❤
Randy Savage still RULES 🙏🏿
A true man's man my favorite wrestler. Always thought miss elizabeth was a dip shit
Oooooh yeah!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH YEAH ☝️
@@paulcowlishaw😂 Hogan was less effective on the mic and in the ring. He was threatened by Savage & intimidated by him -which is why Hogan interfered in the marriage and poked the bear incessantly on that trashy Tampa radio talk show with Bubba The Love Sponge.
You don’t behave this way unless you’re intimidated…
Savage became such a big star despite being around in the time of Hogan. How many times did Hogan put Savage over? That's right it's zero. Savage proved to be so captivating despite putting over guys like Steamboat, Hogan, DDP, Yokozuna and Warrior. Matter of fact he got dominated by Yoko in the Rumble with that stupid pin attempt. I don't think that was an accident, I think he knew Yoko was gased and the best way to get him over was to have Yoko toss him over clean while laying down.
His finishing move was kicked out of strongly. He did like ten to Warrior and still lost. Savage was a gem.
Great Video.
You did a solid job of relaying all the important information & you got the tone of the video spot on. Great job! 🙂
Randy Savage and Elizabeth will always be in my heart
The feud between Randy Savage and George Steele did NOT end at Wrestlemania 2. In fact, quite the opposite: the two of them wrestled 3 more times on Saturday Night's Main Event following Wrestlemania 2, with the final match taking place after Wrestlemania 3!
The fact they went over the match to the finest detail at WM3 and how it turned out is anything but controlling! it's genius and the match is a legendary classic. Randy protected liz from what became her demise with lex lugar
Well put
Agreed. There are 2 types of wrestlers, there are "pre-match planners" and then there's "call it in the ring" guys. Both Savage and Steamboat were planners and the story has it that they both went to a diner a week before WM3 and poured over 6 pages of handwritten notes and ideas that they both came up with. What we got from that is an instant classic.
@@CardPlayingStrategies i seen steamboat talk about it and all the spots. truly amazing.
Very true if Liz had stayed with randy she would be alive today he protected her while lex beat her
@@donjohn2695😢
Randy protected her and look what happened without him. Ya Id say he was doing the right thing protecting the women he loved.
Nothing ever beat the way Mean Gene would flirt with Liz every chance he got. 😂
Randy Savage was and will always be a bad ass one of my favorites of the old WWF
This was so well presented. Even though I know the story I still learned a few new things.
Always GREAT content!!!
Rip Randy savage
I've always said that Randy Savage was the best all-round performer of his generation. He just wasn't as marketable as Hulk Hogan.
Even that's debatable Randy was arguably just as popular he made slim Jim a popular brand had a memorable scene in one of the biggest grossing films in history and appeared on many tv and late night shows he had a memorable voice and colorful attire you couldn't forget him WCW even brought him in to help get hulk over which backfired because macho was getting over instead of hulk
He was indeed marketable. McMahon was biased towards bigger (sized) talent back then. McMahon also had an unknown bias against Savage.
He actually was better on the mic than Hogan & was a much better technical wrestler than Hogan.
Hogan resented Savage-he took things to an extreme outside of the ring which always spoke volumes to me about his own insecurities regarding Savage.
Great channel man!
Good mini-documentary man.
I remember when I heard that Elizabeth had died. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I really was difficult to hear how she passed as well. To this day Lex has to deal with what he help develop in their relationship. Maybe her and Randy didnt have the best relationship in the end, but she was still alive....
But that assumes life is always better than death which I don't agree with.
Lex also beat her before she died. She called the police a few days before her passing. He has to live with physically abusing the First Lady of wrestling.
Lex is paralyzed now
@@paulcowlishawLex physically abused her. Facts.
Miss Elizabeth back in the day just wow, on scale of 1-10 she was a 15. Too bad about the drug addiction problem
Miss Elizabeth in her prime was the most beautiful woman i had ever seen. I always thought she was prettier than Cindy Crawford or Nikki Taylor when they eventually made their way to my walls, they were model hot, but Liz was beautiful beyond that. It's sad Liz and Macho are both gone today.
great video brother.
I remember the first time I watched the WWF. Cable TV had just arrived in our parts & I was flipping throught the channels when I saw Randy. I couldn't change the channel because of his crazy athleticism & then I saw Elizabeth. I was hooked on the WWF from then on. I'm sure they're laughing it up together somewhere. RIP
I was 11 when wrestlemania 5 happened. I can still remember how the intensity and pure violent intent pouring off Macho man during this time. When he lit the fuse he made Ultimate Warrior look a librarian.
Awesome, my bday is the 6th of July and had no idea Mach debuted on July 6. Corny but it made my day indeed
All of this could've been avoided if Hogan would've been a man
Also the best voice in wrestling
He may have been a control freak with a jealousy issue, but he sure as hell could perform
Control freak with a jealousy issue huh?...What happened when he was not around her anymore...She died
@@egdyhipster9581two things can be true at once.
Pls keep uploading - Your content hits harder than HBKs sweet chin music 🔥
I was born in 1981 . Not a single person from my age group doesn't know the phrase " Miss Elizabeth, Ohh yeahhh "
Truth!
Luger was already married ,gloss over much dude
Sorry, but you got to be a pos to invite someone else’s wife on a trip. Sounds like Hogan deserved that black eye.
God the cocktail of steroids, testosterone and cocaine in this era must of killed loads of them!
for real tho
the mancho man was pretty funny back in those old days, with the way he talked and acted.
"The Cream of the Crop"
Loved Elizabeth & both Mega Powers its a shame Randy & Liz couldn't stay together. Some say he never got over her, but I think she never got over him.
Randy should have been in Hogan's spot was better in the ring and at promo's
that WMIII match was like you said. Randy was a p.i.t.a.,but he could lay out one heck of a match.
and the time when Liz protected Randy from Sherri in the ring? i knew what wrestling was, but I
I still bought it and remember choking up too.
I remember that retirement match. It went on for ages. Warriors paint came off his face.
In the whole Mega Powers explode storyline I always thought Randy was in the right and Hulk was the bad guy/heel if you really look at how he weasled his way between Randy and Liz not to mention always coming out to pose when Macho won a match
Hogan was absolutely intimidated by Savage-he proved that in and out of the ring.
when he planned out every move in that 5 star match it was the beginning of the modern storytelling that all matches employ today.
Macho Man and Elizabeth are remarried in heaven now for 12 years
Um.... You seemed to forget one of the most major and biggest highlights of his career which was winning the WWF championship belt at WrestleMania IV in the tournament.
Elizabeth was gorgeous ❤️
Hogan was no good. Rip Randy
Oh, Yeah!!!
Man i remember this when i was a kid i was so involved
As a Scorpio I definitely understand
Watching I perfered Randy and Jim over Terry.
Randy Macho Man was awesome you lived in Sarasota Florida like the thing said and would read the Night Before Christmas to underprivileged kids every year may God Rest his soul
Hulk, his wife, and Lex are going straight to Hell when they die but from what Ive seen on this channel they’ll have a lot of familiar company.
Nice 🙂
As a wrestling fan I always try to judge their body of work separate from the person. That being said it is sad that Randy was unable to really have the matches he could have had. Already one of the all time greats as is but just imagine a bit more out of the Hogan feud when it was hot. His WCW work I think also would have been better.
Now as far as Liz goes, I think she did great but again you could see it just was never as good as the first run with the two. Mania 7 certainly was an epic moment, and it is a shame WWE never gave the couple both in story and sort of in reality a sendoff for all they both did. Sad but we definitely got some great artwork from them both.
Too bad Vince McMahon failed to use Randy more *and* better out of pure spite. As for WCW, that asylum was run into the ground by the imbecile inmates -Bischoff, Kevin Nash, Hogan himself.
Legit all of Ted Turner’s money at their disposal and gave WWE a huge run for their money until their egos and ineptitude destroyed what could have been the David to the WWE’s Goliath.
As a kid Savage Slim Jim Man Savage was always more interesting than Hulk Hogan
thanks for this😊
They met in my hometown!
RANDY THE MACHO MAN SAVAGE IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE GREATEST WRESTLER/WRESTLING ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME!
I feel Rowdy Roddy Piper is one of the greats too!!!
@@pameladevoss7351 I liked Roddy Pipper too.. But my favorites were Randy Savage, Paul Orndorff, Big John Studd, Junk Yard Dog, Tito Santana, Greg The Hammer Valentine, King Kong Bundy, Terry Funk, Bad News Brown, The One Man Gang/Akeem The African Dream😄, Earthquake, Brutus Beefcake, The Road Warriors and, Hart Foundation and The Nature Boy Rick Flair. "Whooooo!"
Hulk invited her out without macho man she ignored him for 4 days and wanted a divorce hogan is a piece of work
Hogan is straight trash.
You are a LIAR, Hulk Hogan was shooting a movie in Miami, it was Elizabeth who asked Randy if she could go and stay with Linda (Hulk's wife) in Miami and help take care of the kids, she went out on her own and hooked up with another man at the same hotel, Hulk had nothing to do with it.
So many former wrestlers hooked on drugs
Also many of them might have CTE
I miss both of them. While I am not a fan of randy being so overprotective I can look at it from his perspective. Wrestling back then was so cut throat and hogan was a snake
All of this. Plus? The locker room was a disgusting mess back in the day.
Randy Savage was a Natural-born professional 3 sport Athlete. Much better Ring IQ. Hogan and his fan would think he came Hogan. & then comes pro wrestling. Some people just dont understand. Randy was a wrestling Genius. Yes, he was. R i P
Hogan a snake in the grass
I don't think that bump Elizabeth took from Randy getting thrown out of the ring could have been any better!
I think it's time to shred this narrative that Randy was a control freak. In the end, Elizabeth died at 42 years old, Randy despite the toxicity of the wrestling industry managed to outlive her. Clearly, he knew years ago that she was in danger if he wasn't serious about protecting her. The same people who ridicule him for protecting her regularly speak about sleeping with married women, hell - any groupie that would give them the time or day.
When Elizabeth was with Randy she was safe. Outside of Randy, we see what happened. Lets give him some credit and believe that maybe this man knew something about his WIFE that we didn't know and kept his promise to protect her as long as she was with him.
Was he crazy. Yes - he was just as crazy as the wrestling business itself.
Well why would hulk invite the man’s estranged wife ??? Why not invite Randy. ?
I honestly don't know how most couples in WWE stay together. With all the partying they probably do.
I didn't even see him at the time {too young} but still OOOOHHHHH YYEEAAAAHHHH .... Bonesaw's ready lol
NICE.
Nothing against Liz. But Luger actually left his family for Macho Man’s ex?
I remember savage with scary sherry more than miss Elizabeth
Snap into a Slim Jim OOOOOWWW YEAH! I love Randy but steroids destroyed our favorite wrestlers from the 80's and early 90's, personally and professionally.
Miss Elizabeth used to cheat on Randy will the time. He was not paranoid for no reason.
How do you know?
Elizabeth was actually better in WCW than WWF, because she had actual storylines and was treated more as her own person.
Wasnt just pills and alcohol. I know for a fact Lex Luger used to come to the Techwood projects in Atlanta and buy crack.
I don't understand one thing..unlike other sports ,why wrestlers die young between 30 to 50.. usual causes , heart atack, suicide, drugs overdose
And Steroids
Top 5
I remember when she first came on to the scene. Every time she walked down to aisle to the ring Vince McMahaon would never shut up about her. She would keep commenting how beautful she was. Every. Single. Time! Looking back, with all the controversy about Vince, It was clear what was going through his mind. Actually, it wasn't that hard to figure out back then how hot Vince was for her. Vince is a pig!
Going over every detail in the match VS Steamboat was anything but controlling, don't be daft.
Ms Elizabeth was so beautiful..
☝🏼Ohhhhh Yeahhhhhh
🕶️ Digggggg Ittttttt!!!!!!💯
Such a beautiful woman gone way to soon
So, did someone write the dramatic scripts, or was it real ignorance?
"Elizabeth is an animal lover" theres a sign that could be easily misinterpreted without context
Miss Elizabeth is still at the top of my most sexiest and beautiful pro wrestling/sports entertainment women list.
I didnt know anything about the behind scene between randy and elizabeth but as a on screen couple they're great couple albeit elizabeth had zero personality,her innocent look probably good enough beside machoman who were charismatic. If only randy not being over protective and stay healthy until today...if only,that could be said for other passed wrestlers.
*She was the first lady of professional wrestling*
Both of them were scorpios? Like my parents? I now get it
Scorpios do well with pisces 🐟. I'm a pisces and my girlfriend from college and me loved each other alot. Unfortunately, we both had traumatic childhood experiences. So we broke away and thought about a third run with each other. A Scorpio 🦂 is a leader and a Pisces 🐟 is sweet and nice. Both go well together.
I was there from the wwf early 80's as fan. i bought into the Macho/Liz thing hook, line and sinker.
i loved the storylines. after i saw Liz in the NWO and eventually with Lex irl, i refused to believe that
was the real Liz. i know she went through tough paranoia with Randy in wwf, but I'd like to think the
sweet wwf Liz was the real Liz.
Blows my mind how people are still validating the extreme levels of control Randy had over Elizabeth. Then again, these are the same people who willfully ignore the beatings inflicted on Debra at the hands of Steve Austin. Wrestling fans are very selective with the wrestlers they choose to condemn/ get outraged by.
Specially wwe fans. To them Darby allin is a criminal and should be in jail for alleged abuse on Gigi dollin. But they love Austin who was way worse with Debra. He even burried every wrestler in attitude era. Even Hogan was better than him.
Randy was ALWAYS right!!! Except when it came to Stephanie 😂😂😂😂
Meh. He sure got under Incestuous Daddy McMahon’s skin and his legend lives on. Vincent McMahon can and will rot in Hell for all of his misdeeds and abuses of his workers.
Macho was the best then hogan game over cant front
People make excuses, but Randy wouldn't have had to worry about "the boys" if he'd let Elizabeth have her own life outside of wrestling and not be on the road. He took her on the road because he had to control her at all times. And that's how he lost her.
Because an equally over bearing woman would allow that.
She worked in the business obviously she’s going to ride with her husband be weird if she didn’t and he was worried because he knew what the boys where like and the girls as they’re on the road all the damn time.
🙄
Savage never got over her
Um…yes, he did. 😂
@@mab1959 he helped liz get a job in wcw even after their break up being years before.
