On this day in history:
August 26th, 1991 | SummerSlam 1991 featured one of the very few wrestling weddings that went off without a hitch: the marriage of Miss Elizabeth and “Macho Man” Randy Savage. Unlike the wrestling weddings of today, the ceremony dubbed the “Match Made in Heaven” was treated as a true fairytale occasion, complete with white balloons and romantic music. Though they had been married in real life since 1984, the two had only recently reunited on screen. Watching the wedding today, you almost expect to see someone jump out of the crowd to object or fight with Savage, but it wasn’t to be. The real drama, it turns out, was saved for their wedding reception, which featured an ambush from Jake “The Snake” Roberts and The Undertaker.
