WM V Build
By Scott Keith on 24 November 2023
Hey Scott,
I was re-watching The Main Event prior to WrestleMania V with the Mega-Powers vs. Twin Towers where they did the split between Savage and Hogan. First of all, is that the only bump Elizabeth ever took? I know Jake Roberts slapped her during that late-1991 feud, but I can't think of any other example where she got physical in that manner and she got hit HARD by Macho when he flew out of the ring. Also, do you think Hulk Hogan realized how creepy his fawning over Elizabeth was? I mean, I'm sure he's always seen himself as the hero of every story, but it seems like someone would have mentioned, “Hey, you know that's actually Savage's girl, right?” I know I'm preaching to the choir, but every time I re-watch old WWF shows I'm more and more amazed that a bigger portion of the crowd didn't turn on Hogan by 1988 because his character was a real dick with a monumental lack of self-awareness.

Definitely preaching to the choir here. But no, she never took another bump I know of.
