15 Things You Didn't Know About WrestleMania (1995 - 2004)

1. WrestleMania XX - Randy Savage Wanted To Wrestle Hulk Hogan One More Time

Imagine if, fifteen years after the Mega Powers first exploded, the Macho Man Randy Savage once again faced The Immortal Hulk Hogan on the grand stage of WrestleMania. Well, Randy Savage wanted it to happen, but likely due to the ill-will harbored for the Macho Man by Vince McMahon, the idea was shot down. Savage had spoken publicly in 2003 about wanting to wrestle Hulk Hogan at the 20th WrestleMania in Madison Square Garden. WWE's head of talent relations at the time, Jim Ross, was even asked about this on an episode of Byte This!, WWE's online call-in show, to which Ross said he "wasn't interested". JR was likely more speaking to the knowledge that McMahon would not re-sign Savage to any type of deal in 2004, but that doesn't mean there weren't numerous fans out there who would've wanted to see the classic match-up one more time.
