Well I think at one of the shows before WM4, (I think Sat Night Main Event) Macho Man was suppossed to win the I.C. Title from HTM. But HTM got pissed and didn't want to job to Savage and complained to Vince and Vince allowed HTM to keep the title.

So Savage was going to shoot on HTM on a live Sat Main Event cause he got pissed and to prevent him from doing this, Vince promised him the World Title at WM4. That World Title was suppossed to be won by Dibiase at the PPV.

Well that's what I heard.

I'm sure most of that's true, but what I can't wrap my head around is the fact that a heel was supposed to win the main event at a late-'80s Wrestlemania...

You know that never really crossed my mind until you just mentioned it. That would of been a little strange. I wonder if Savage would have turned heel had he not won the belt. You think WM 5 would have been Dibiase vs Hulk rather then Savage vs Hulk? Makes you wonder a bit.

Yep.HTM didn't want to lose to Savage because he felt it would
hurt his cred,and that he was too big of a star to "lay down" for
Macho.Honky threatened to TAKE THE IC TITLE AND LEAVE THE
WWE,so like LC said,Vince told him he could keep it,which...

pissed off Savage (rightfully so) and Savage,like LC said,made a
promise (I call it that because he would have) to shoot on HTM
and take the title off of him.Vince,realizing that HTM wasn't Bret
Hart,didn't want to do a screwjob on him,and promised Macho a
title run.

So Savage won the match,and the yearlong reign with the belt,
that DiBiase never go to have.All because of one egotistical ass-
hole named The HTM.

Now,if only Ted DiBiase and IRS would have taken the Tag Titles
to WCW in the early 90's

Was that the reason for them and the Steiners flipflopping belts for like a month?
