not after what macho did to steph
Steph shyt is an unconfirmed rumor. Savage and Vince were close friends, probably closer than even Hogan. Their problems really started when Savage believed Vince disrespected his father:
But Randy could also harbor a grudge, particularly when the slight was directed at his father. In 1987, the World Wrestling Federation booked an old-timers’ battle royal at New Jersey’s Meadowlands. Angelo was still in good shape at the time and wanted to participate. Randy lobbied for his father. But when Lou Thesz, Nick Bockwinkel, Bobo Brazil, Ray Stevens and the other retired wrestlers entered the building, they learned that Angelo had never been invited.
“Randy really loved Vince until the battle royal,” Lanny says. “He felt really bad when Al Costello, who was one of Dad’s best friends in wrestling, said, ‘Where’s your father? He should be here.’ Randy never forgot about the battle royal. He felt guilty, like he should have done more. He’d belabor the point.”
Savage also being the proud man that he was, wasn't gonna be told that he wasn't going to not do something as he wanted to end his WWF run with a feud with Shawn Michaels:
Still, Randy stayed with the company and, by 1994, was appearing less in the ring and more at the announcer’s table. “What frustrated Randy was he felt he never had a match as good as the Steamboat match,” Lanny says. “He was bored with announcing and thought Shawn Michaels could have that kind of match with him. Randy wanted to do a two-year program building up to a match with Shawn at WrestleMania. Randy would lose, retire and go back to the announcer’s table.”
Randy was just short of 42 when he presented his proposal but still felt capable of using his physicality to enrapture a crowd. But, his brother claims, the Macho Man was informed that the World Wrestling Federation was in the midst of a “youth movement.” “So he said, ‘I think I’ll get a second opinion,’” Lanny says. “He went to WCW (World Championship Wrestling, the company’s primary rival at the time), and he took Slim Jim with him.”
Basically, Vince hold grudge on Savage for the simple fact that Savage left for WCW and the Slim Jim ad in the time where the WWF needed it, without warning or notice because Savage still felt he could go. This had to pain Vince a great deal since he saw Savage as like a second son and saw this as a ultimate betrayal. Knowing how Vince can be petty and vindictive at times, this my belief
