WWE Legend Bruce Prichard: “Vince McMahon Always Thought Randy Savage Was Special”

Hulk Hogan and late WWE Legend Randy Savage created magic when they stepped into the ring together for the first time on June 3rd, 1987. As soon as they started working in the ring, WWE and Vince McMahon knew something good was cooking!

WWE legend Bruce Prichard spoke about the moment when The Big Man and WWE realized what Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan were truly capable of.

“I think Vince always thought Savage was special. I don’t know that anybody really saw that babyface turn with Randy and him becoming that huge babyface. They always felt they had something special, obviously, with Elizabeth and everything. But Randy Savage, he was just a very unique and very special talent. So, when you get two unique special talents in the ring and they click, which Hogan and Savage did, there’s always in the back of your mind where you said ‘oh, we got something here’.”

The Macho Man and The Hulkster went on to become two of the biggest entertaining superstars that ever walked the WWE ring!

Bruce Prichard compared Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan to Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart

During the same conversation, Prichard explained that the idea was never to have two superstars who bonded well backstage to be in the ring. That doesn’t concern WWE. To the company, it’s all about whether the Superstars click with each other in the ring, and that’s exactly what Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart did.

“It’s just a moment when you get two talents together and they click. Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart hated each other, but man, they clicked. They were great together in the ring.”

Not only did Prichard compare Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan to The Heartbreak Kid and The Hitman, but also with Stone Cold Steve Austin and Sable.

He revealed that there was a moment when The Texas Rattlesnake was walking back from the ring and crossed Sable. He stopped for a second and gave her a look.

The crowd erupted, because, to the fans; it was a magic moment. That’s what WWE focuses on creating with every moment, magic!
