The Mega Powers
Real names: (HH) Terry Boella (RS) Randall Poffo
Hometowns: (HH) Venice Beach, CA, (RS) Sarasota, FL
Membership: Hulk Hogan, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Miss Elizabeth
Finishers: (HH) Atomic Leg Drop, (RS) Flying Elbow Drop
Background: Sometimes things line up but never for long.
1987 was when things changed. Randy Savage was officially a villain boarding antihero. When the Honkey Tonk Man ambushed Savage, who makes the save but the number one hero Hulk Hogan? Thus an alliance was formed and everything worked out, right?
They fought against multiple foes but there always seemed to be an edge to Savage. He started talking about Hogan lusting after Miss Elizabeth and attempting to get Savage out of the way. Things finally exploded in 1988 during a hot summer and by 1989 the two were on a course to fight.
They would later reconcile in the mid 90s but that is a tale for elsewhere.
