Elizabeth
Balancing Family with
Business
Elizabeth's position in the WWF is unique. She has to balance the business career of the Macho Man
and at the same time be his loving, devoted wife. On a daily basis, she negotiates with various
promoters concerning various contract and match stipulations. She also works with marketing
agencies in an effort to obtain endorsement deals fot the Macho Man. Elizabeth couples these huge
responsibilities with those of being a devoted wife.
She embodies the spirit of a grass-roots American wife. She cares for her man. She provides him
with comfort in the midst of chaos. She provides him with a sense of unity when his world seems to
be disintegrating. Elizabeth calmly handles these difficult situations with grace and tact.
However, she has her detractors. Other managers in the World Wrestling Federation, mostly those
who belong to the rulebreaking clique, feel that Elizabeth shouldn't mix business with marriage. If
she continues to do so, the managers predict that she will eventually fail in the WWF.
Take Jimmy "Mouth of the South" Hart, for example. He says he knows alot about the demure
manager. In the past, his former protege, the Honky Tonk Man, wrestled the Macho Man in a match
that was shown on national television. When Honky attempted to manhandle Savage after the bell,
Elizabeth came to Randy's aid.
It was a mistake. Honky, in an act of unprecedented cowardice, shoved Elizabeth to the canvas,
knocking the wind out of her.
The Mouth says that he is positive Elizabeth will find herself in similar situations if she continues to
step bewteen the ropes.
"You know, Elizabeth should learn her place in the World Wrestling Federation," says the skinny
manager. "She should stay away from the ring baby. It ain't no place for a woman, A few years ago
she learned that firsthand when one of my boys treated her the same way he'd treat anybody else who
gets in the squared circle, daddy. If she keeps it up, who knows what'll happen to her in the
future?"
Harvey Wippleman, who manages the Warlord's career, agrees with Jimmy Hart. He says Elizabeth
should learn to control her emotions or else she will risk severe physical injury in the
future.
"Elizabeth, the WWF is no place for women, period!" snarls the cocky manager. "And if you keep
getting involved in the Macho Man's matches, you're gonna get hurt and hurt badly, little girl. I can't
even imagine what would happen if you got between my Warlord and your old man. It could be bad.
It could be nasty. In fact, Elizabeth, it could be downright ugly. So stay away from the ring lady. It's
no place for women! There is one exception to that rule, however, and that's Sensational
Sherri."
Sensational Sherri, a woman who many say is far from being a lady, also has plenty to say about
Elizabeth. Sherri, who now manages Shawn Michaels, has had several altercations with Elizabeth
over the years. At WrestleMania VII last year, for example, Elizabeth got the best of Sherri when
she was humiliating the Macho Man after he lost a retirement match. Elizabeth ran to Savage's side
and physically removed Sherri from the ring.
Sherri says that she resents Elizabeth managerial skills and that she also resents her as a person.
"Elizabeth is always sticking her nose where it doesn't belong," Sherri says. "Last year at
WrestleMania VII, when I was letting the Macho Man know he wasn't so macho, little Miss
Elizabeth came to the ring and put her greasy, slimy hands on this magnificent body. That wasn't the
first time she got in my face. The year before at WrestleMania VI, she did the same in the mixed tag
team match."
"I can't stomach Elizabeth!" snorts Sherri. "She gives the impression that she's all sweetness and
light. She's not. She's sneaky. She's pulled tricks on me that only an alley cat would. She's a no-good
backstabber. And you know what? She's out only for herself. That's right. The only thing Elizabeth
loves is Elizabeth. She's the kind that only wants to feather her own nest. Just look at her. She
dropped Randy Savage like a hot potato. Then she came back to him and got him to marry her. Next
thing you know, presto, Savage is reinstated by that nincompoop WWF President Jack Tunney. I
know that Elizabeth talked to him and turned his head. She's the kind of wimpy woman that a fool
like Tunney thinks is pretty. He couldn't handle a real woman like me. Anyway, back to that little
sneak, Elizabeth. She thinks that Randy Savage is her meal ticket. She thinks he's going to beat Ric
Flair at WrestleMania VIII and be the next WWF Champion. Well let me tell you something, Miss
Elizabeth. Let me tell you something you don't want to hear. No way. I'll tell you right now that Ric
Flair is going to beat the blazes out of Macho Man Randy Savage. So-called Macho Man is no
match for the real man, Ric Flair. He's going to put the so-called Macho Man back in
retirement."
Reverend Slick, who is Elizabeth's only ally on this issue, takes exception to the preceding
comments. He says that he admires Elizabeth's uncanny business acumen and her ability to handle
volatile situations in a calm and graceful manner. He says he speaks from experience.
"During the time when God was not with me and when I was a man without the faith that I carry in
my heart today, I remember plotting against Elizabeth during a tag team match that was viewed on
national television," the Reverend recalls. "It was my old tag team the Twin Towers [Big Boss Man
and Akeem] against the Mega-Powers [Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man]. Although I didn't admit it
for a while, I was surprised at how skillfully Elizabeth called her strategy during the match. She was
a magnificent manager then, and I truly believe, as God is my witness, that she's a magnificent
manager today."
"The only reason that these heathen managers are insulting Elizabeth is because they are all jealous.
They are jealous of her brilliance. They are jealous of her charm. They are jealous of her beauty and
her decency. And jealousy, as I have found out, is nothing but another face of the Devil himself.
Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!
