-Macho Man Randy Savage's two WWF and four WCW World Heavyweight Championship reigns were all ended with Savage losing the title to either Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair.

The original main event for Wresltemania VI was supposed to be a mixed tag between Hulk Hogan & Miss. Elizabeth vs. Macho Man & Sensational Sherri.

Although the stunt had been rehearsed before the show, during the Main Event in 1989, Elizabeth hurt her head when Randy Savage knocked her over. The mat which should have broken her fall was not in the correct place and Liz's head hit the concrete.
