10 Wrestlers Who Crowned Themselves King

7. Macho King

The next Superstar who fancied crowning themselves King was Macho Man Randy Savage. He and King Duggan embarked on a programme of matches that produced some of Jim's best work, which culminated in a match for the crown. Macho Man became Macho King with a win over Duggan in September 1989 and would go on to use it for the next couple of years. He would be crowned by his brother Lanny, and was given a sceptre as a present from Ted DiBiase - his weapon of choice during this run. After a brief feud with Hulk Hogan, Macho King would go on to battle the likes of Ultimate Warrior and Dusty Rhodes, with his feud against Warrior leading to a career ending match at WrestleMania VII. Savage lost this match, although, he did continue to wrestle afterwards with Warrior kayfabe giving him permission to do so. After a brief break from television, Savage returned as a commentator under the Macho Man name, with THAT wedding the Miss Elizabeth happening a few months later.
