Wrestlers Who Couldn't Stand Randy Savage

Randy Savage dated and married following his divorce from Miss Elizabeth in 1992, but there was only ever one other woman he brought into the wrestling limelight with him. Stephanie Bellars met Savage while she was dancing at a popular strip club in Tampa, Florida. The pair began dating, and shortly after, she appeared alongsde him on WCW television in December 1998. Bellars made her debut as Savage's manager under the ring name Gorgeous George, even though there was already a famous wrestler who went by that name.

Bellars said that her venture into wrestling was due to her own jealousy, as Eric Bischoff wanted to put Savage with Torrie Wilson as his manager when he made his return to WCW in 1999. Bellars didn't trust Savage and threatened to break up with him, so he told her to step up her game, because she would be the one going on TV with him. The jealousy went both ways, however, and Savage was against letting his girlfriend do more in the company, worried he'd become the Marc Mero to Bellars' Sable, metaphorically. Bellars said that Savage didn't want her to learn how to wrestle because she could go off on her own if something happened between the pair.

Bellars was gone from WCW by October 1999, in part due to her tumultuous relationship with Savage and her inability to handle the lifestyle of being on the road. Shortly after, she decided to leave Savage and focus on raising her son. While Bellars may not have hated Savage in a traditional sense, their tumultuous relationship and his controlling nature may have hindered what could have been a longer career in professional wrestling.
