World Wrestling Federation together in 1985 and their careers took off
immediately.

Intercontinental Championship. After he lost the belt to Ricky Steamboat (in
what many consider one of the greatest matches ever) at Wrestlemania III,
Eventually they would set their sights on the the WWF World Heavyweight
Championship.
In 1988, Savage won the WWF World Heavyweight Title, defeating Ted DiBiase in
a tournament at Wrestlemania IV. When Savage suffered a beating at the hands of
opponents in the Ring, Elizabeth ran to Hulk Hogan for help. As she became the
manager for Hogan as well, she united him with Hogan as the Mega Powers. This
alliance broke down in a dispute over Elizabeth.

in 1995 and eventually became a member of the New World Order.
