Hi guys been a while. I couldn't help but to weigh in here. 1st of keson is right. There is no truth to any of the Stephenie rumors. Vince would have killed savage if he did anything like that or had him prosecuted to the fullest extinct of the law.
My opinion is the rumours of Savage and Stephanie are just rumours and nothing more.
HOWEVER, if they were true, there was legally nothing Vince could have done about it. The age of sexual consent in Connecticut (Stephanie's home state) at the time was 16. And it was the same in Ohio (Savage's home state). As long as it was in Connecticut and both sides were consenting, there is no crime here. It would only be a crime if Savage went into the state with the specific purpose of having sex with her, because then it would be "entering the state with the intent of committing a crime".
But I maintain that the likelihood of Savage actually having slept with Stephanie being virtually nil. Savage was more than 20 years older than Stephanie. Considering how close he was to her father, she would have known him since she was a little child. What is the likelihood that a teenage girl would want to sleep with someone who is practically her uncle? Not to mention that Savage was very famously married to a woman who was always with him at that time.
As for the claim that Hogan made, so many people have contradicted this. The biggest issue here is that Savage and Hogan didn't share a doctor since their WCW days. So many people pointed out how convenient it was that Hogan told the story for the first time after Savage died. Even his best-friend (Brian Knobs) and his ex-wife Linda said that they didn't believe this encounter ever happened. Heck, Knobs was even joking about Savage's death in the days that followed, and Hogan was one of the few legends that didn't call Knobs out on it. As I said in the initial post, even Lanny himself doubts that they ever did make up. And Hogan does have a habit of remembering history differently from how it happened. His comments on Warrior are proof of that.
