Conspiracy Theory #3 – Hulk Hogan’s Black Eye Came From Macho Man
One of the biggest rumors in wrestling over the years has to do with Hulk Hogan and his mysterious black eye at Wrestlemania IX.
WWE explained on camera that Ted DiBiase hired a group of thugs to weaken Hogan before the event. Hogan has said that the black eye came from a jet ski incident prior to the event.
A popular theory on the internet is that ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage gave Hulk the black eye. This was
Reasons why people think that it is true:
- Real life tension between Hogan and Savage.
- Hogan has a bit of a reputation for telling some fabricated stories in the past.
Matt Borne (the original Doink the Clown) claims that Savage gave Hulk the black eye in an interview with ‘Inside the Ropes’:
“Randy Savage gave it to him. I’d bet my left nut and my son’s life on it. Hogan showed his true colours, that’s why he got the black eye. Randy Savage was a man. Hulk Hogan has never been a man. Hulk Hogan’s a big ass p—y. I don’t care if you call and tell him I said that. His ex Elizabeth was seeing this small time producer, who happened to be a friend of Hogan. Elizabeth was hiding in the back room when Savage went to see Hogan and he found out about it.
Friends don’t do friend like that. Who can you say is Hulk Hogan’s friend? The only people that can say their Hulk Hogan’s friends are the people who are riding his coat tails and trying to make a living off of him like Brian Knobbs or some fat f–k like that. Hogan was supposed to be Savage’s friend and he threw him under a bus and he got a black eye for it.”
Doink notoriously hated Hogan so it is hard to take his word too seriously.
While saying that, Hogan getting punched in the face is a lot better of a story than him getting in a jet ski accident. Unfortunately, Macho Man passed away and we will never get to hear his side of the story.
Conspiracy Theory #4 – Macho Man And Stephanie McMahon Hooked Up
One of the biggest myths in the history of professional wrestling has to do with Stephanie McMahon and ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage.
The rumor that has existed for YEARS is that the Macho Man was romantically involved with Stephanie McMahon at some point. When Vince McMahon found out, he flipped out and blacklisted Savage from the company. This is a rumor that has existed for years in the wrestling world. It should be noted that we are NOT saying this is true at all.
Reasons why people think that it is true:
- Randy Savage wasn’t ever brought back to WWE. Vince has made up with a number of people in the past that have wronged him. Macho Man remained blacklisted until his death.
- He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame years after his death. Many would agree that Macho Man should have gone in MANY years prior.
Many WWE stars have denied the rumors and said that they would have known if it did happen.
Lanny Poffo (Macho Man’s brother) spoke about the rumors and how they got started:
“A reporter asked Triple H what he thought of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage. Triple H responded with, ‘They were great, but they’re dinosaurs.’ Randy saw this as a deliberate attempt to hurt his brand. Randy insinuated he [wanted] to take Triple H, slap him in the face, take his girl, Stephanie McMahon and drive her around the block, then give her back to him. It wasn’t right, but Randy was provoked.”
Seems like just something that was made up on the internet and found some legs. I would love to know the real reason why Macho Man was blacklisted for so many years.
