1. He Turned Down WCW And Macho Man Randy Savage Wasn't Happy
While he was there, of course. But put yourself in his position, surely you would take the money rather than the mere promise of an opportunity, right? Mind-blowing guts from The Game there. Speaking on his podcast, Ric Flair revealed that HHH turned down WCW's offer of a $250,000 contract in 1995 to sign for the opportunity that comes with being a new Superstar in WWF. At roughly the same time, Macho Man was coming into the company and wanted to make an example out of the young upstart, Flair said: "Savage came in that day and Savage wanted to beat Hunter in like 30 seconds. I said, 'that ain't going to happen.' Savage and I had the worst argument of all time. When you like someone's talent, you just don't squash a guy going out the door. I don't think you do that to a guy." It's tradition for a Superstar bowing out of the game to lose their last match. Savage obviously wanted to do more than that as the Monday Night Wars started to pick up.
