The start  The Mega Powers were a powerful tag team in the WWF (now the WWE) and WCW. The Mega Powers consisted of Hulk Hogan, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage with Miss Elizabeth (at the time Randy's wife, though portrayed on-screen as his girlfriend) as their valet. The alliance between Hogan and Savage began at WWF Saturday Night's Main Event on October 3, 1987. Savage was in the middle of a face turn when he sought to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship from the Honky Tonk Man. When Savage hit his Flying Elbow Drop finisher on Honky Tonk for the pin, The Hart Foundation (who at the time were heels, all three managed by Jimmy Hart) came in and attacked Savage, getting Honky Tonk disqualified. All three wrestlers attacked Savage brutally. When Honky Tonk shoved Miss Elizabeth, who was trying to stop them, she ran away to the backstage area; meanwhile, Honky completed his attempt to break his guitar over Savage's head. Shortly afterward, Elizabeth returned with Hulk Hogan, at the time WWF Champion, who came and saved Savage from the assault. Their alliance solidified Savage's face turn, which had been brewing for weeks as fan support grew for him. Later that night, Hogan stated that the combination of "Hulkamania" and "Macho Madness" may become the most powerful force in WWF history. Hogan and Savage had previously feuded over the WWF Championship.
