Wrestlezone’s Top 10: Wrestlemania WWE Championship Matches

8. Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Savage: Wrestlemania 5

Macho Man Randy Savage

Wrestlemania V was all about a fight between best friends. Hogan and Savage were known as the “Megapowers.” They were friends for a long time, but it was time for them to split and face off for the WWE Championship. It was an easy way to set it up. Savage got jealous of Hogan’s friendship with Miss Elizabeth. This is such a realistic and simple way to build a feud. It happens to everyone in real life, which is why I think this feud was great to me. Savage turned heel as champion so he could face Hogan. Hogan was never going to be a heel at this time. We all knew what the outcome would be, but it was all about the build for the match. “The Megapowers Explode” was the phrase, which is why the match felt real. They exploded emotion and intensity in the entire match. They kept it simple and logical. For that and more reasons, this is why these legends earn a spot on the list.
