Randy Savage The Macho man, one of the greatest wrestlers of 1980's,and the most reconized icon's in pro wrestling history. In 1980 Randy Savage was a rookie in sports drafted by the st. louis cardnals in major league baseball, randy never say playing time when it came to baseball.
Randy moved else where, and became a pro wrestler, Randy family history is wrestling, son of Angelo Pafo, and Brother to (leaping lenny, The Genius)lenny Pafo. Randy father was a Legend in The WWF in the early years of the WWWF owned by Vince Mcmahon Senior. Randy Joined the WWF in early 1985, as a Heel, and later Became Intercontinental Champion by defeating Tito Santanna at the Boston Garden. Randy had a manager at the time, her name was Elizabeth, she brought beauty and style to the career of the macho man, and at times used her as a ginny pig to distract his opponents. In 1986, randy meet a wrestler who would make randy's career shine and become a Future Headliner in the coming years, his name was Ricky Steamboat.
Ricky Steamboat at the time of his arrival was already reconized in pro wrestling, as a Superstar in the NWA owned by Jim Crockett. Randy & Ricky Jelled together right away, and at superstars of wrestling Randy would cement his career has the most hated wrestler in 1986, by injuring ricky by coming off the top rope and crushing ricky's larnix(his throut). Ricky Steamboat was out for a couple of months, but would return to face Randy in march of 87 at Wrestlemania III at the Silverdome at Pontiac Michigan for the Intercontinental Championship, and that match would steel the show and cement randy as a face in the coming months leading to Wrestlemania IV. Randy would become the WWF champion in a 14 man Elimination Tournament to decide a Undisputed WWF Champion by going threw four matches. Randy's reign as champion would last for a whole Year, and would end at the same place where he won it Wrestlemania V at atlantic city New Jersey against his former Mega powers partner Hulk Hogan. Randy became again the most hated wrestler once more by betraying Hulk at the main event telecast on NBC in a tag team match against The Twin Towers(Big Bossman& Hakeem the african dream). It was randy who become jealous because of elizabeths involvement in the team, that would destroy this dominent team in the WWF. Randy would stay in the WWF for about ten years then move on to WCW and join Hulk Hogan. Randy again would team with hulk and bring back the mega powers but without elizabeth. Randy lasted in WCW for almost a Decade then leave WCW to persue other interests, but would make a Cameo Appearence at TNA in Nashville Tennesie.
As the years went by randy would eventually retire from pro wrestling and start a Rap CD about his freindship with Hulk Hogan that would eventually start contriversy between the two. alot of fans wondered what ever happened to randy, and asked the Question, Will Randy Ever Be inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame? in my opinion randy does belong in the hall of fame, but The mcmahon famly has had problems with randy about certain thing relating to his career inthe WWF. Vince has stated that randy has ruined his career by betraying him during the Monday night wars between the WWF & WCW(1995-2001). But all due respect randy isn't the only one who hasn't been inducted as almost all of the WWF wrestlers in 1980's roster. But vince has Flirted with bring randy back for a last run to end his career in the WWE, but as a fan we don't know when that will happen.
Randy savage will forever go down as one of the greatest icons in pro wrestling history.
Macho-man Randy Savage(1985-1999).
