10 Dumbest Decisions By WWE Champions

4. Randy Savage - Turning On Hulk Hogan

The money-sh*tting Mega Powers split in early 1989 had been crafted from the moment they'd first came together in late-1987, but the intense rage Randy Savage allowed to spill over during his violent turn on 'The Hulkster' had simmered specifically during his time as WWE Champion.

Winning the title with Hogan's help at WrestleMania IV, Savage shot his new best mate a single solitary glare that night during an innocent exchange with Elizabeth. The glowers grew in length and potency as over the next 11 months, with the Macho Man unable to enjoy his time on the throne thanks to the paranoia over the fate of his crown and kingdom.

Virtuous and true no matter if Savage had gradually convinced himself otherwise, Hogan wouldn't have wanted his third tenure as Champion to come at his friend's expense no more than he'd have tried to take Elizabeth away. When all of this converged during Randy's brutal Saturday Night's Main Event attack, Hogan's empathy went the same way as his battered buddy Brutus Beefcake - down in a f*cking hurry. Randy's reign was doomed from that very moment.
