Randy Savage never beat Hulk Hogan clean!
Randy Savage’s never is almost always brought up when speaking about Hulk Hogan. That’s how much their WWE careers seemed to be intertwined with each other. Savage signed with the WWE in 1985 and after rising through the ranks, he eventually ran into Hogan.
However, almost all their encounters ended with Savage staring at the lights. When Savage did win, it was always by count-out. This pattern continued until they decided to pair up and form the Mega Powers!
The partnership would eventually culminate in yet another match that ended with Hogan beating Savage for the World Championship. That wasn’t the end of their rivalry though. The two continued to square up long after WrestleMania 5. This time however, they were both winning equally, although Savage was yet to pin Hogan.
Their rivalry in the WWE finally came to an end in 1990 after Hogan beat Savage once again, this time in a steel cage match.
Both of them would eventually make their way to WCW where they fought a few times again. Hulk Hogan won all of their matches except three. One was a no-result and both of Savage’s victories came by disqualification.
A legendary rivalry that spanned over a decade and two companies never saw the two men ever truly be equal. Despite all of this, the fact that Savage became as popular as he did is testament to how beloved he was by the fans.
