"Macho Man" Randy Savage

## Background

Randall Mario Poffo was born as the son of a wrestler in the 1950s, but persued a career as a professional baseball player until the early 70s. In 1973, Randall started his wrestling career as "The Spider" while his baseball career was technically still ongoing, but decided to become a full-time wrestler and later adopted the stage name "Randy Savage" at the suggestion of his trainer and friend Terry "The Goose" Stephens, while the title "The Macho Man" was inspired by his mom. During his 32 year long career as a wrestler until his retirement in 2004, Randy had 29 championship reigns with 11 titles, and became an immortalized legend among WWE and the global wrestling community.
