4. Miss Elizabeth Gets (Insert Name Here) To Save Randy Savage From An Assault
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhjsRbXDfIo Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat could've saved Randy Savage from being beaten down by the Honkytonk Man and The Hart Foundation on October 3, 1987's edition of Saturday Night's Main Event. On June 13 of that year, Steamboat had lost his WWF Intercontinental Championship to the Honkytonk Man after famously defeating Savage at Wrestlemania III. The fact that Steamboat would be magnanimous enough to help Savage after he attempted to crush his larynx would be quite the moment. Hulk Hogan didn't need to be partnered with Randy Savage to have a series of matches with Ted Dibiase make sense. Hogan and DiBiase as a singles match without the aging Andre the Giant could've worked, and Savage and Steamboat wrestling the Hart Foundation would've been one helluva feud. Add in George "The Animal" Steele to do six-man tags with the Honktonk Man involved and Hogan saving Savage and the MegaPowers creation never even needed to exist.
