What makes no sense to me is..
It seemed to be Randy's idea to do the Retirement Angle in 1991 and it took Vince to coax him back to the ring after losing Warrior, apparently Savage wasnt really up for it. But in 1993/1994 it was Vince's idea for Randy not to be used which lead to Randy wanting to go to WCW. But in 1994 Vince was bringing back older guys such as Bundy, Volkoff, Earthquake, Typhoon and so on. It all contradicts
Either way I hated this period and that they didn't use Savage to his full potential, its like having Edge or someone sat on commentary in 2009-2010 or something when he could have been used.
One question I have always asked is did Savage's act suffer the loss of Elizabeth in 1992 and had she not left would she still fit into storylines after the Roberts and Flair angles without them having her turn heel. If they hadnt divorced it would have been nice for her to show up a few times and participate in angles on RAW

Elizabeth was really not necessary to Savage after the Mega Powers exploded. She was symbolic for the WM7 face turn I guess but other than that she wasn't really needed.

She was needed during the feud with Jake and Flair.
Added a deeper meaning to those feuds.

Yeah she was pivotal several times after the Mega Powers, obviously Wrestlemania 7 but then she was the catalyst to the Jake and Flair angles, she was still an insanely over character and I think she was missed when she left, I just dont know if they could have creativley come up with anymore angles involving her with the cast of characters they had in 1992-1993. Unless they used Bam Bam and Luna harrassing Elizabeth or something like that.

Savage had such a tremendous 1997 when he became "the most dangerous man in wrestling" and tore it up with DDP several times. If Savage had returned in 1997 somehow to tear it up with Undertaker, Michaels, Austin and Hart, it would have been magic.

Savage was one of the few connections to the old guard. Sure HBK, Bret, Taker, and Razor were around during the Hulkamania Era but they were still young and haven't had a major, long term push before the New Generation push. In Vince's mind, Randy would remind people of the glory days and make people less accepting of the new class. It's like how a football team will make a star quarterback set on the bench while the rookie upstart takes control. And like Brett Favre, Savage went to another team who loved to how his star power and talents with no stigma about pushing the vet over the rookie.
