Miss Elizabeth served a huge role in Savage’s run as heel. The fans loved her, with her charming smile and innocent aura. Therefore, whenever Macho Man mistreated her, the fans reacted. It was the perfect setup!

However, Savage turned on Hogan when The Hulkster left their match against The Twin Towers to carry Elizabeth backstage after she took a fall. Following this, Macho Man fired Elizabeth as his manager and began working with Sherri.

At WrestleMania VII, Savage was in a match against The Ultimate Warrior. After losing to him, Sherri attacked Savage as well, but Miss Elizabeth came to his aid and saved him. This led to the wedding ‘Match Made in Heaven’ at SummerSlam 1991.
