Does anyone have any idea as to why Vince would allow Savage and Warrior to wear red and yellow for their short lived tag team from August - November 92??
Clearly red and yellow was Hogan's colours and had been for the last 8 years or so. Yet, Savage and Warrior based their tag team on those colours.
Was this a way of Vince getting back at Hogan?? Maybe he thought Hogan was legit done with the WWF at the time?? Just seems weird that those were the colours they wore.

Hogan was gone, so it was probably a dig at him.

Hulk Hogan wasn't completely out of the company, he was just on a break. No idea why Vince made them use those colors, but I thought it look pretty cool. In my WWF 1992 sim, Hogan wasn't gone and I signed Sting. I put those four in a supergroup for Survivor Series.

I was only two at the time so I don't have much in sight on this, but from what I've seen I've always assumed it had to do with Slim Jim since their colors were red and yellow.

I always hated the fact that their colors were red and yellow. Even as a kid this confused me. For two wrestlers like Macho and Warrior that were known for such bright and colorful attires to use "Hogan's colors" for their tag team was a big let down to me. Maybe they were trying to play off the Mega Powers color theme, like Vince was saying the Mega Maniacs were better than the Mega Powers as a slight to Hogan? I dont know, but it seemed a very odd choice.

I have to admit, I loved Warrior's attires from the Ultimate Maniacs tag team. However I thought him wearing the sunglasses looked stupid. Anyone have any idea as to how long Vince had in mind for them to be a team? Rumors had it Warrior was to challenge Bret for the WWF title at the Royal Rumble. I do think a team like Savage & Warrior would have been able to have a long title reign.
While I never expected it, I have really wanted JAKKS to make an Ultimate Maniacs Ultimate Warrior.
