10 WWE Wrestlers Who Suddenly Vanished
3. Miss Elizabeth
The 1991 reunification of Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth was WWE's finest ever attempt at a love story - it mirrored reality, it allowed the Macho Man to adhere to his "retirement" stipulation following a WrestleMania loss to the Ultimate Warrior, and it spoke to the deep affection the entire audience had for their deep affection.
Then, she was gone, and nobody was permitted to give a single sh*t.
The reality of the less-than-happy couple by then was masked by their outstanding on-screen displays. The love between the pair informed Randy's comeback storyline with Jake Roberts and his WWE Title programme with Ric Flair in early-1992 - this Macho was one that fought for her honour rather than abusing his privilege alongside her. A glorious WrestleMania VIII victory over 'The Nature Boy' captured the drama of it all - Savage and Elizabeth were bathed in the glistening gold of his gear, the newly-won title, pyro and their love. So we thought.
By 1992, the pair were in fact ready to part ways, and Elizabeth very quietly did so after one last appearance alongside Savage at April's UK Rampage event in Sheffield, England. After months of fighting his battles with his wife by his side, Randy's entire raison d'être was reduced. Elizabeth disappeared from the industry completely until a legitimately surprising 1996 WCW return.
