For a long time, the most important figure in Randy Savage's professional and personal life was the same person: Elizabeth Ann Hulette, whom you probably know better by her wrestling moniker, Miss Elizabeth. As Sports Illustrated tells us, Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth were a wrestler and his valet, but also husband and wife. This actually applied to both their in-ring roles and real-life situation — they got married for real in a small ceremony in 1984, and their characters followed suit in a rather more opulent in-ring ceremony at 1991's SummerSlam at Madison Square Garden.
Unfortunately, the fact that their knot was doubly tied didn't translate to a "forever after" scenario. Savage was an extremely jealous man and tried to protect — or, as it often appeared, hide — Elizabeth from the prying eyes of fellow wrestlers. As a result, the locker room was quite irked by the way Savage acted — but wary of him, too. "If you even looked at Elizabeth the wrong way, then, Holy s**t," Hulk Hogan described Savage's jealous rages. "Randy would freak out. If you ever wanted to get him lit up, you'd just have to look at Liz."
If you think this was a rather unhealthy way to maintain a marriage, Miss Elizabeth ultimately agreed and filed for divorce in 1992. To add insult to injury, Savage's later WCW tenure used their divorce as part of a storyline (per Bleacher Report).
