I don't mean to be a jerk, but sheesh guys. Take your in-thread flirting to a PM or something.

I would love to see the Macho Man back on TV. He seems like the only old guy who hasn't made a return.

He's right.

And why did Savage only be on TNA for as long as he did?

Wasn't there some big backstage confrontation between Hogan and Savage at Victory Road 2004 or something?

The first two reasons are rumors and the last one Savage admitted to:

• Pay. Savage wanted more than TNA was willing to pay.
  
• A conflict between Savage and Jarrett over their match.
  
• Hogan showed up to visit friends and Savage snapped. He started to cuss out Hogan and they nearly fought. Savage claimed TNA wasn't safe and Hogan threatened him. Hogan claims to have went to say hi to Randy and Savage lost it.

Slim Jim poisoning. It happened to Savage and Warrior.

So Hogan was being a man?? Macho Man lied!!!!!!

When Kevin Kelly was still doing his radio show, he said that a lot of the bad blood between Savage and Vince is to do with McMahon not getting a percentage of money from Macho's Slim Jim deal. According to Kelly, that's more or less what started the feud and from there it just escalated.

Take that for what it's worth.

Does anyone know why Savage hates Hogan

Back when I was in middle school, someone who was in my class claimed that Hogan and Savage jumped to WCW at the same time because they were "best friends".

Don't know how TNA could afford to pay Savage to work for them, let alone Hogan...wonder if this is why they're considered a financial black hole.

I honestly do not think Savage himself knows anymore. I remember hearing something about Savage thinking that Liz and Hogan had an affair but, I am not sure if its true.

I forgot where I read this but didn't Hogan allegedly diss Savage's father

I have no idea how he would be in the ring now, but Savage always kept himself in top shape, last time I saw him wrestle in WCW he still moved around like a guy in his prime. Much better than Hogan, Piper(Kings of the back rake) or Flair...I don't know how much has changed since then.

The WWF wanted Savage to do mostly commentary and only wrestle sporadically. Savage thought he could still be a regular, and he was right. They parted ways amicably from what I remember and there was a nice tribute in WWF magazine around the time he left, even though they made it seem like he was retiring permanently instead of leaving for WCW.

I don't think Hulk ever jobbed to Savage ever

When he was in TNA, he looked bad. Still in shape but, no where near ring shape. I don't even remember him wrestling a match. He came down at the end of his scheduled 6 man tag match and slopply rolled up Jarrett for the win.

Savage is what we call crazy where I come from.

I would say that the Steph rumor was made up by someone whom I call "Dink Cain", and he would constantly harass "C. Bryant" on the Usenet boards.

When Macho was a WWF newcomer, Hogan lost a few by countout durring a quick feud. One of them is on an old "Best of the WWF" Coliseum Video. But that's it. Savage did alot for Hogan. He gave him a legit tag team partner on several occasions, and always gave him excellent matches. I like Hogan, unlike most people around here, but he never did right by Macho. If I were Mach, I'd probably hate Hogan too. From what I've heard, Macho has been asked by Vince to appear on more than one occasion. Unfortunately Macho has always held out because he requests his pay be equal to or higher than Hogan's. Vince refuses. And while that is unfortunate, you can kind of understand Vince's position.
