Looking at these old WWE PPVs...SMH at how Hoegan used to block Macho’s shine

[Dusty Bake Activate]

I grew up an NWA diehard and didn’t really fukk with WWF like that back in the 80’s, so some of this stuff I never really seen before or don’t remember that well.

But goddamn Hoegan was a bytch. He would not let Macho shine without being all up in he videos. You know he was requesting Vince to let him do all this stuff.

He wouldn’t drop the belt to Savage, so they had to have some silly WCW Russo-esque plot involving Andre getting the belt from Hogan because of a crooked ref then trying to sell it to The Million Dollar Man and having it vacated and a tournament to win it.

Wrestlemania-Savage getting worked by DeBiase with interference from Andre. He whispers something in Elizabeth’s ear. Elizabeth goes to the back and gets you know who. Hoegan runs out and hits DeBiase in his back with a chair while he has the million dollar dream locked on Savage. Savage hits the elbow and gets the W for the title. But he couldn’t do it without illegal help from Hoegan, so it minimizes the accomplishment for a babyface. Then in typical Hoegan fashion, he steals his shine by celebrating in the ring with Savage and handing him the belt like he’s giving him permission to be champ.

So Hogan let’s Macho be the champ while he films and promotes No Holds Barred. But he has to win the Royal Rumble for no reason at all, and eliminate Savage in he process.

Then at Wrestlemania Hogan is the challenger, but the champ, Savage comes out to the ring first.

Hoegan kicks out of the off the top rope elbow, which no one does. It wasn’t even one of those barely lift your shoulder kickouts, or a long wait because the ref was out. He didn’t sell it at all. Then leg drop 1,2,3 clean win.

Hoegan was scared Macho might eclipse him popularity.

There’s a reason Macho Man promos and his work even from early 80’s Memphis feels fresh/presentable in 2020

Machos last wcw championship was ended by hogan as well after just one day

Hoegan’s treachery followed to WCW where he big bro’d Savage there too as great as Macho Man was, I wonder how much bigger he could’ve been if Hoegan wasn’t around

It was just as bad in WCW it's crazy how jealous Hoegan was of Savage

In 95 Savage won the first ever world war 3 battle royal and won his first wcw championship but only after Hoegan got "screwed" by being pulled under the ring and the ref not seeing it so instead of Savage celebrating his first WCW title Hoegan runs in the ring crying like a little bytch yelling at Savage not letting him celebrate his win


In 96 Savage beats Ric Flair on nitro to win his second WCW championship but only after Hoegan ran out from backstage attacking Arn Anderson and running in the ring and celebrating like he just won the title all in the spotlight. Couldn't this piece of shyt ever just stay in the back?

In 97 Savage beats Sting at spring stampede to win his 3rd WCW championship only to lose it the VERY NEXT NIGHT to you guessed it HOEGAN


In 99 Savage wins his 4th and last WCW championship by beating Kevin Nash at Bash At The Beach but he loses it the VERY NEXT NIGHT to that piece of shyt Hoegan once again


You can't even make this shyt up

The greatest revelation was that heenan knew it all along
HOEGAN WAS ALWAYS THE SELFISH SCUMBAG HEEL ALL ALONG

Savage NEVER beat Hogan clean.....EVER.

Think about that shyt for a second, all of the matches they had and not once did Randy ever get a clean win. (he won a couple by DQ and countout)

It's one the great travesties in the history of the business, and its not only the fact that Savage never got a clean win but also how many of Randy's title reigns were ended by Hogan? He just couldn't help himself, the way he seemed to go out of his fukking way just to bury Savage was completely ridiculous and petty, especially when they were in WCW, IMO.

In the WWF, I thought most of the stuff was fine. Hogan was the biggest draw in the business and deserved to be on top I have no problem with that, he was a fukking cash machine back then.

WMIV storyline was fine. Vince wanted the belt on a babyface so Savage was chosen. The story of the match with Dibiase was fine, Andre kept interfering so Mach has Liz go get Hogan to even up the sides and prevent futher interference from Andre, makes perfect sense.

The Mega Powers storyline is one of the GOATs in wrestling history, I only have minor gripes with its execution. First, I would've done the split differently and made sure it was Savage who come off as the heel and acting all ridiculous. They way they did it made Hogan look heelish IMO and that's definitely not what they were intending. Also I would've had Savage retain the title at WM5 via some sort of fukkery, let Hogan chase through the summer then win it at Summerslam. But those are small tweaks, that storyline is legendary.

Hogan always buried Savage's finish which I hated. You shouldn't bury someone finish like that, especially a top guy like Randy Savage, it was so bad that Savage actually played off of it by giving Hogan a flying elbow to wake him up.......and it worked, Hogan popped up immediately no selling the whole thing, SMH.

Nah... reading a lil far into it...

The Savage Mania IV shyt wasnt about Hogan droppin it to Macho... it was set up for DiBiase to transition it to Macho. They had already linked Hogan and Macho months before.

The whole Megapowers storyline was one of the greatest storylines ever, I dunno why people always wanna retcon it and change it from the way it went. You needed the Hogan/Macho combo to happen the way it did so they could go thru the story and split apart.

And I'm def. not capin' for Hogan but the shyt was classic and led to a great Macho heel turn... there ain't a lot about this shyt I'd change.
