#1 The Buildup

The friendship of Hogan and Savage started back in WrestleMania IV. Savage won the WWF championship at the event with the help of Hogan and soon, the duo formed a tag team known as the Mega Powers.

Alongside their manager, Miss Elizabeth, they dominated the main event scene for the following months and feuded with the lights of many heel tag teams. However, the sunshine days of Mega Powers came to an end thanks to Elizabeth.

Savage grew jealous of his wife Miss Elizabeth being close to Hogan and this made cracks in the relationship. These cracks were made even bigger when Hogan accidently eliminated Savage from the 1989 Royal Rumble.

The heel turn of Savage was completed on the February 3 episode of Main Event. The Mega powers were having a match with Twin Towers on the show and Hogan was taken backstage for medical attention in between the match.  Savage felt alone in between the ropes and though Hogan returned later, Savage slapped the hell out of Hogan.

After the match, Savage attacked Hogan in the medical area which in turn underlined his heel turn. Hogan wasted no time in challenging Savage for a match at WrestleMania and Savage accepted with no hesitation.
