Happy Birthday to the late, great, "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Born Randall Mario Poffo on November 15, 1952, he made his wrestling debut as "The Spider" in 1973. He also had a successful minor league baseball career from 1971 to 1974. He took the name Savage on the suggestion from a longtime friend who said that Poffo was not a name for someone who wrestles like a savage. His mother later read an article in Reader's Digest predicting that Macho Man would become the next hot term, which prompted him to add it to his ring name, and the legend was born. He passed due to cardiac disease at the age of 58... Randall Mario Poffo, aka The Macho Man, Randy Savage: Nov. 15, 1952 - May 20, 2011. Gone too soon, but his legend will live forever... Happy Birthday, Macho Man...
