10 who deserve to be in the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2019
By Luke Norris
Miss Elizabeth
This one is LONG overdue. Much like Macho Man Randy Savage going into the WWE Hall of Fame way after he should have — Savage was inducted almost four years after he died — the fact that his ex-valet and real-life ex-wife, Miss Elizabeth, is a travesty.
From the time she first arrived in WWE when Savage was in the process of choosing a manager, Elizabeth was captivating. She was beautiful and classy and was the exact opposite of Savage, which is what made things perfect. When Macho Man was the biggest heel in the world, she was still right there with him. I’ll go ahead and say it. Randy Savage, as talented as he was, would not have been as big of a star had she not been beside him. Yeah, that’s right.
She became the centerpiece of so many storylines in which Savage was involved. There was George “The Animal” Steele’s infatuation with her. There’s that iconic image of her on Randy’s shoulder after he won the title at WrestleMania IV. She was the reason The Mega-Powers exploded before WrestleMania V, which is still to this day my favorite storyline of all time. There was the emotional reunion at WrestleMania VII that made grown men cry. There was Ric Flair using her to anger Savage before their WWE Championship match at WrestleMania VIII. The list goes on and on.
Her time in WCW wasn’t nearly as good as her time in WWE, but she was still around and even once again managed Hogan and Savage for a short time. She would later join up with Lex Luger and that certainly didn’t end well. She left WCW in 2000 but was still with Luger in real life. There was an unfortunate domestic incident (perhaps another reason Luger hasn’t gotten in), and Liz unfortunately turned to drugs and died of an overdose in 2003. It was a sad day in the wrestling world, but after 15 years, it’s time that “The First Lady of Wrestling” comes home.
And if you’re looking for proof that a non-wrestler with some controversy surrounding her can get into the WWE Hall of Fame, look no further than Sunny.
