Hulk Hogan was one of the most popular figures in World Wresting Entertainment for a number of decades, and a close friend of his was The Macho Man, Randy Savage.

In a recent podcast with Theo Von, Hogan opened about his friendship with Randy. So close were the pair that, as he revealed, Randy even used to look after Hogan's children.

"Out of my guys that were here all the time, I really miss was Randy, The Macho Man, we were together every single day, and it's kind of like I miss him a lot," said Hogan

"I spent years and years and years with him and he used to babysit my kids, well him and Elizabeth."

Fallout over Macho Man's marriage

Macho Man was married to Elizabeth Ann Hulette, better known in the wrestling as Miss Elizabeth. The couple was friends with Hogan and his wife, but things turned sour in the early 90s, as Randy and Elizabeth divorced.

Randy believed that Hogan and his wife Linda were responsible for planting ideas in her head.

"Hogan and his wife and [Vince] McMahon planted ideas in her head that she was missing out on some magnificent untamed life adventure," Randy had shared, via TalkSport.

Later, Hogan addressed those claims.

"[Savage] said that I was the one who started it, that I was the one who got him divorced. He blamed it all on me. I was just trying to be cool," he said.

I was just inviting her down to hang out with Linda and the kids. I didn't know she was going to run wild on him. After that, he snapped, you know? There was no fixing it."

Randy's brother Lanny Poffo then claimed that Hulk had reconciled with Randy before the latter's death in 2011.

"Here's your scoop in the midst of all this drivel. Randy had a 'blank you' list a mile long, right? It seemed like the last two months of his life he went around making amends to everybody that he ever had any problem with, including Hulk Hogan," Lanny Poffo told X-Pac on his podcast.
