Before explaining this one, it's important to state for the record that nobody outside Vince, Stephanie, Randy Savage and possibly a few others really know what (or if anything) happened between Steph and 'Macho'. However, something definitely doesn't add up in the story.

Prichard has said on his pod that Vince told his creative team to stop pitching a return for Randy in the mid-90s, because it'd never happen. One day, he angrily blasted them for bringing him up and said he 'never wanted to hear that man's name again'. That was a total 180 degree spin from his charming send off for WCW defector Savage on Raw years earlier.

Netflix won't be the ones who get to the bottom of this - nobody will. McMahon will not openly talk about why he soured on Randy Savage. The 'Macho Man' was deleted from WWE's history books for years before he sadly passed in 2011.

What really fractured their friendship? You'll presumably never know.
