Years earlier, Randy Savage scored a major win which finally allowed him entrance into the upper card pack for good in the WWF. It's been rumoured that Ted DiBiase was actually tentatively scheduled to win at WrestleMania IV, but it would be Savage who left with the WWF Heavyweight Title in 1988. Cheerfully, they ended what had been a relatively dull tournament to crown a new champ on a high note.

'Mania IV needed that big babyface win to end things in fine fettle, otherwise it would have been quite the sour conclusion. The tournament had at times felt interminable, but people were overjoyed when Savage pinned DiBiase (aided by Hulk Hogan) and picked up the win. Making things even more memorable, this would plant the seeds for the bumper bout between Savage and Hulk at the following year's event.

In the span of around 12 months, Randy Savage went from concocting a quite incredible match with Ricky Steamboat at 'Mania III, to becoming WWF Champion. His popularity in the Spring months of '88 can't be dismissed, and Savage was very much ready to take on the role of champion.
