10 WWE Fake News Stories We All Believed
6. Randy Savage At Survivor Series 1998
Everyone comes back eventually, they say. Everyone, that is, except Randy Savage.
The Macho Man burnt his bridges with Vince McMahon in 1994, and whilst many of his contemporaries - even Ultimate Warrior, in the end - found their way back to a WWE ring, Savage never managed to bury the hatchet.
It seemed inevitable that he would, though, at some point. He was simply too big a name for WWE to leave out in the cold - especially as it looked to overturn Nitro's growing lead in the Monday Night Wars.
At Survivor Series 1998, rumours surfaced that Savage - on a hiatus from WCW - was going to be Mankind's mystery first-round opponent in the WWF Title tournament.
Instead, it was pre-Gillberg Duane Gill, who was beaten in 30 seconds.
