Bruce Prichard On Savage And Hogan's WWF Radio Run In

Bruce discusses the rocky relationship between Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man Randy Savage
FULL SHOW: • WWE's GREATEST BAD GUY...

[@patrickdepew4976]

You could make a very interesting movie about the Hogan/Savage relationship.

[@thekingofkingsrp]

Yeah you definitely could. I'm sure they will now that the Von Erich movie is coming out. Like the elvis movie now that they did that now bob Marley is getting a movie.

[@pandaloon6083]

At one point in time, when all the main characters were alive and well to share their stories from their perspectives, yes. But now? Now you risk hearsay, caricatures, and dramatization ruining a good movie. You'd likely get wrestling's version of Mommie Dearest.

[@RAWIsYours]

Macho Man should’ve been put on a Tougher scale in ring because we all knew that in a Real Scenario Randy Savage would’ve fuck Warrior and Hulk up in a Real Fight I mean Bruce don’t see how tense Macho Man was his promo in 89 when Randy said Hulkmania is Dead! 😂dude Randy was talking real Heat Man!

[@fmbbeachbum8163]

Savage would've got destroyed by Hogan or Warrior. He was a gnat. He also caused all of his own problems.

[@Aizenborgman]

Then, when he decided to look for another job in 1994, Randy Savage called Hulk Hogan to help him get a job at WCW.

[@50_shadesof_green88]

And why not?

[@louio]

Love Macho but he had to put his grievances towards Hulk to the side and play the game.

[@curthennig9448]

@@aliamjon2550 Bischoff's mission was to sign all former WWF talent. Savage was a no brainer.

[@RunThemDawgz]

Macho was mad at Hulk because of Liz cheating and Hulk not telling Macho about it. That's it, his hate had nothing to do with steroids lol. WWF was mad because Hulk left and was going to WCW. If Hulk was back with the company this radio segment would've never happened

[@dakliq420]

But Hogan didn't even know what was going on. He and Linda was expecting one thing and Randy was told another. The main reason why I believe Hogan on this because out of all the stories he told,he's been the most consistent about this and Linda's story sounds about the same,and she definitely doesn't have to protect Hogan with them having a bad divorce.

[@RunThemDawgz]

@@dakliq420 that's true. But that is what Macho thought and that's why he was mad

[@djangofett4879]

​@@RunThemDawgzSeems plausible. everybody said Randy was extremely paranoid

Hulk hogan was a role model for kids how can they say admitting it was best for him?? His brand is directed at children

[@Matt-cr4vv]

Because the confirmation that he used them was gaining steam and it was going to come to light eventually. If the truth coming out is a fotegone conclusion, which many believed was the case and was the case, you admit it and spin to get ahead of the revelation. If you explain why you used them, point out they were legal, point out you stopped your use and say you were wrong public perception will be much more positive than lying about it only to have it revealed later on and admit you lied. As in many negative events the cover up is worse than the crime so to speak. If you own it people respect that and forgive for making mistakes if you come across as truthful and remorseful. If you cover it up and deny it and then later on have to say you lied about you come across poorly. You lied so you can’t be trusted and you don’t show true remorse because you’re lying to hide it. The fact he even needed to be on the show to discuss it to begin with is a clear sign that denying it isn’t the move because if there was no belief among the public of his use there’d be no need to play PR about it. Often getting ahead of the inevitable is the right move but in the end when you’re as big as Hulk it blows over in the end

[@danman1789]

I've always gravitated to the guys who aren't afraid to stand on business, like Randy. Scott Steiner is the same way. Piper. Scott Hall. The opposite would be a guy like Steve Austin who denies that he ever had beef with anyone.

[@deebo1103]

[@RossTheNinja]

And Hulk and his wife was friends with Liz so took her in

[@newhere2419]

i mean she was cheating on him while staying with them and they knew it , so that kinda p'd randy off

[@kelbob00]

Yeah….Liz shacking up with Hogan and his wife while she cheated on Randy in front of them….I’d be pissed at my “brother” too. mark.

[@83reggieT]

Are you upset your hero is a pathological liar and pretty much the butt of a joke these days?

[@pandaloon6083]

He was mad because he thought Terry, as his friend, would allay his fears about his wife's well-being. He was also made because he thought Terry and Linda were planting seeds in Elizabeth's head: that some grand adventure in life was out there for her to take, if only she took the first step...out the door of her marital residence. And then there's the wrestling politics of it. Terry knew that with his absence Vince would turn to Randy, a person Vince could trust and the fans would love. How does Terry return to the top if Randy's in the way? Break Randy by conniving at his most vulnerable personal point and arguably his most valuable professional asset: Elizabeth.

[@titansrule72]

pretty obvious when hulk got off the gas post wm 8. doesnt matter.. guy ran hard for close to a decade. couldve been honest like bruce said and admitted that it helped him recover from injury faster and being the top guy he needed to look like superman even though the long term effects would rot him from the inside out. but.. hindsight is 20-20.

[@hw5091]

actually I think he got off the sauce shortly after wrestlemania 7. By 8 he was a lot smaller and softer.

[@deebo1103]

Hulk was off them by the Arsenio show in July 1991. He was much smaller and less defined at summerslam 91 than he was at wm7. He looked terrible after summerslam 91.

[@titansrule72]

@@deebo1103 probably bc he and his wife just had little ones and maybe they were trying for another at the time. roids make guys look superhuman.. but the long term effects are not worth the few years of looking like superman.

​@titansrule72 he's lucky he hasn't had the issues some guys did. But I dont think he ever abused them. Seems like he did normal on and off cycles. Plus I dont think he ever did GH, whis is generally what kills the guys more than deca, test, and anavar do.

[@cutekanjii]

Like Savage really cares that much ablut Hogan lying about roids. His wife left him for somebody else and he blammed it on Hogan. What did he want Hogan to do when she was going to meet some other man who she was seeing and getting ready to leave Randy Savage for? Lock her in the cubboard like he would do? No wonder she left the paranoid maniac. Guys that are constantly paranoid their gf or wife is seeing other men actualy end up driving them TO start seeing other men.

Liz was promiscuous and cheated on her husband with Luger to get out of that marriage too. Probably because she was too shy to be assertive. Savage locked Liz in a dressing room when she wasn't his manager because of guys like Vince who were shitting on women's heads in the backstage rape room. Why else do you think depraved Vince and depraved Hogan had Liz separate from Savage on screen?

Savage hated Hogan for the dumbest reason ever. His insecurity was out of control during this time, I get it, your wife was really hot, but good fucking Lord. Randy is one of the greats but he rode the Hogan train as much as everybody, he just happened to also be significantly more talented than Beefcake

[@thegoughandbordenfamily8234]

Go back and re-watch the history of wrestling. Savage elevated Hogan. He didn't need him.

[@peterp2153]

Macho Man went off on Hogan on WWF Radio because Hogan had lust in his eyes, nothing more.

[@fmbbeachbum8163]

Lust for what? Not Savage's career or money. Not Liz, that's all Savage being an insane jealous POS. Let's face it Savage was consumed by Macho Man just like he said Hogan was consumed.

[@anthonyclark9441]

Savage and Bret get a lot of grace from Wrestling Fans, which proves what I've always said. People will accept any amount of bullshit, as long as they like the person it comes from. People assume that Bret and Savage are ALWAYS truthful, just because. We have no idea if any of the crap that they have said is true or not. I really never had any issues with Hogan denying his Steroid use, because I understand how Human Nature works, and he was ALWAYS going to say whatever he needed to in order to protect his Image. Whether it backfired or not, is something that he had to live with, and it totally seems as if he was able to. They totally did a Hit Job on him though, because he doesn't have to admit to anything, so that other people can save face, and not look bad. He was gone from the WWF at that poin, so he really didn't have to do anything to make things easier on them. When he needed to protect Vince, he did. Which is why Vince never shut the door on him for good.

[@bb-gc2tx]

not to mention hogan created the stage that macho and especially bret used to get famous on. bret still crying 30 years later about hogan not wanting to wrestle/ put him over at summer slam is pathetic. hogan earned every right to choose who wanted to lose to he chose yoko get over it bret. hogan wrestled monster heels his entire career so it made sense that he would lose to someone like yoko

[@auntiewewe972]

Exactly, Savage ( who I like) was insanely jealous of Hogan. This has been backed up by many wrestlers. Hart is the biggest mark and most bitter guy . Look Hogan said and did some stupid things but Hogan transformed wrestling. Its more probably because Hogan just left. As both Savage and Hart would go on to work with Hogan time and time again

[@hw5091]

and he beat yoko, who was a heel, so of course he would drop the W back to him. Why would he lose to hart, a face, and then ride off? Makes no sense. And it's not like Hart was the ultimate warrior in 1990 or steve austin in 1998 etc. Anyways, people deal with savage and hart, because they liked the way they wrestled. That's it. Nothing to do with personality etc. It's just like hbk, another incessant whiner who never wanted to do a job once he was on top-ish. If hogan was more athletic and did more flipsy do's, he'd have a blind eye turned to anything he's said or done. It's just how it works. @@bb-gc2tx

Some say that the name Montmartre is derived from ‘Mons Martis’ (Latin for Mount of Mars); others prefer the Christian ‘Mont Martyr’ (Mount of the Martyr), a reference to the 3rd-century St Denis, who, according to legend, walked across Montmartre and on to the site of today’s Basilique de St-Denis after having been beheaded by Roman priests."

Hogan was still in another stratosphere of popularity in ‘91. Not like 87, but still huge. The newspapers would have definitely reported on a confession. No one knows for sure what impact that could have had on the company. A year later when Savage admitted, the business had fallen dramatically, and Savage had been identified as a cheater through his persona, making it easier to come clean. Even John Cena and The Rock denied using to protect their character. They were never as popular as Hogan coming out of the 80s.
