Macho Man Randy Savage DVD Review: 16 Things You Should Know

12. Elizabeth

"They met in 1981 and got married December 30th 1984," Lanny Poffo reminisces of Randy and Elizabeth. As for her starting in the WWF, that was because Vince wanted Randy to be managed by Missy Hyatt. Randy wasn't too keen on that because he liked to be close to his wife. He went to the boss and told McMahon that although his own wife wasn't tall or blonde, she was really pretty. "They brought her into Stamford and everyone loved her," Lanny recalls. Missy Hyatt missed out on the gig and Miss Elizabeth was hired. "Her career took off, she became as big as the Macho Man," says Gene Okerlund. This was actually something which ruffled some feathers backstage. Was Randy Savage popular? Or was it just that he was with a hot chick? "We were wondering, do they like to see Macho Man, or do they like to see Elizabeth," Pat Patterson says.
