"Macho Man" Randy Savage's Top 5 Feuds of All-Time

Before there was the catch phrases and the marriage to Miss Elizabeth, "Macho Man" Randy Savage was a mainstream mat wrestler.

Savage got his start in the Mid-South and Memphis promotions before moving on to Georgia and later the WWE and WCW.

Savage had some of his best moments in Vince McMahon's machine, earning Intercontinental and World Championship gold. Once in WCW, he became a four-time WCW champion.

Here is a look at five of Savage's greatest feuds.

5. Jake "The Snake" Roberts

Two crafty veterans who fought for Intercontinental gold. Roberts and Savage feuded for the better part of 1991-92.

4. Jerry "The King" Lawler

The two wrestlers got the best of each other in the Mid-South area. They met several times, having battled in steel cages and across the state of Tennessee for the upper hand and the top billing in Jerry Jarrett's territory.

3. Ric Flair

Ric Flair always brought out the best in Savage. No matter whether it was in the WWE or WCW, both combatants put on a show for the fans. Flair even stole a kiss from Miss Elizabeth after Savage stole WWE gold.

2. Hulk Hogan

There was never a title on the line. But you knew Savage always lived in Hogan's shadow and was uncomfortable with it, showing his emotions during matches and television tapings. A lot of this animosity carried over into Savage's private life.

1. Ricky Steamboat

Would there be anyone else? Steamboat vs.Savage at WrestleMania III may be the best match ever in the history of the event. Both men found the magic to create great drama. And the fans and the business reaped the benefits.
