For years, pro wrestling fans around the world wanted to see 'Macho Man' Randy Savage inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame. The legendary grappler was someone many argued was a huge omission from the annual ceremony. One of the best-remembered stars from his generation, Savage was also a sterling in-ring performer. In 2015, people finally got their wish, with Hulk Hogan posthumously inducting Savage into the WWE Hall Of Fame. An interesting choice, because there had long been rumours of a love/hate relationship between both men. In fact, proposed issues between the pair have been a talking point in the wrestling industry since the 1980's, and there have been many (often wildly different) stories about their arguments and friendship.

The man had a storied, lengthy tenure in the wrestling business, so it's only natural that he left some mystery behind.
