Selected Macho Man Quotes
Macho Man- Randy Mario Poffo (November 15, 1952 – May 20, 2011), better known by his ring name "Macho Man" Randy Savage, was an American professional wrestler and actor who is best known for his time in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and World Championship Wrestling (WCW).
Sportswriter Bill Simons described him as "one of the greatest pro wrestlers who ever lived", which is widely echoed by multiple industry performers. Wrestling fans recognize him for his distinctively flamboyant ring attire and raspy voice, his intensity exhibited in and out of the ring, his use of the finale from "Pomp and Circumstance March no. 1" by Elgar as his entrance music, and signature catchphrase, "Oooh yeah!". For most of his tenures in the WWF and WCW, he was managed and escorted by his real-life wife, Miss Elizabeth Hulette, or more popularly known as "Miss Elizabeth".
Savage was the 1987 WWF King of the Ring and the 1995 WCW World War 3 winner. He headlined many pay-per-view events throughout his career, including WrestleMania IV, V, and VIII (being part of a double main event at VIII), two of the first five SummerSlam shows, and 1995 Starrcade. In 1996, he was inducted into the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame upon its inception. He also dabbled into acting, like his cameo in the Toby Maguire Spiderman movie where he played a wrestler named Bonesaw. In 2015, he was posthumously inducted to the WWE Hall of Fame.
