Excerpt: 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 occasional color commentator best known for his time in World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Savage held 20 championships during his professional wrestling career. He held six world titles between the WWF and WCW, having won the WWF Championship twice and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship four times. He also won the ICW World Heavyweight Championship three times and the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship once. A one-time WWF Intercontinental Champion, WWE has named Savage as the greatest champion of all time and credited him for bringing "a higher level of credibility to the title through his amazing in-ring performances." Savage was the 1987 WWF King of the Ring and the 1995 WCW World War 3 winner. For most of his tenures in the WWF and WCW, he was managed by his real life wife "Miss Elizabeth" Hulette. Savage was recognizable by wrestling fans for his distinctively deep and raspy voice, his ring attire, intensity exhibited in and out of the ring, and his signature catch phrase, "Ooh yeah ." WWE has said of Savage, "Few Superstars were as dynamic as "Macho Man" Randy Savage. His style perfectly punctuated by his entrance music, 'Pomp and Circumstance' was only outshined by his performances in the ring." Savage died of cardiac arrhythmia while driving with his second wife Barbara Lynn Payne, in Seminole, Florida on the morning of May 20, 2011. Randy Mario Poffo was born in Columbus, Ohio, the elder son of Judy and Angelo Poffo. His father was Italian American and his mother was Jewish. Angelo was a well-known wrestler in the 1950s and 1960s, who was featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not for his ability to do sit-ups for hours on end. His younger brother is professional wrestler Lanny Poffo, better known by his ring names "The Genius" and "Leaping Lanny Poffo." R
