** The promo he did for ''Wrestling/WrestleMania V'', where he calls out Hogan for this, along with his grandstanding and hotdogging, is full of anger and intensity that really sells the angle, culminating in Savage telling that he hates Hogan's guts and that that's all that's going to be left of Hogan when he's done with him.

** Especially awesome considering that he actually faced all four of his opponents. Wrestling/TheOneManGang got a BYE round due to Wrestling/RickRude and Wrestling/JakeRoberts fighting until the time limit, and Dibiase got a BYE round after Wrestling/AndreTheGiant and Wrestling/HulkHogan got eachother disqualified.

Despite not being part of the cancelled match, Savage confronted Michaels and Razor when they came backstage and yelled at them for being unprofessional.

** To truly put this one into perspective: A lot of casual fans were more surprised by the fact that Savage was only ''just'' being inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2015. He was so integral to wrestling history as a whole that people everywhere just assumed he'd already been inducted years before [[note]]the FleetingDemographicRule is a major factor here, for those who are wondering how this happened[[/note]].

* According to Wrestling/ChrisJericho, technical issues during a WCW event meant that a tag team match between Wrestling/KevinNash and ScottHall vs. Savage and Wrestling/{{Sting}} would not have any entrance music for either team. Nash and Hall refused to go out to the ring with no music, but Savage went out first, saying "I don't give a shit if there's music or not, I'm going to the ring!" forcing the match to take place.

* Savage's FaceHeelTurn on Hogan in 1989 is a ''villainous'' moment of awesome, from walking out on Hogan during a match with the Twin Towers, to TheReasonYouSuckSpeech in the emergency room in the back, featuring the famous line ''"Those eyes lust [[Wrestling/MissElizabeth Elizabeth]]!!!"'' to Savage absolutely pounding the shit out of Hogan ''right in front of her.'' The intensity - not to mention the build to this moment - made this one of the most famous heel turns of all time.
