Macho Man

Randall Mario Poffo (real name) entertained us along with greats like Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, Ted DiBiase, Andre The Giant and many other hall of famers in the Wrestling world in what many considered to be the best era of wrestling in a career that spaned over 20 years.

Known for his famous feuds with Hulk Hogan, he even ended up making a rap album in where his TV persona Macho man would take lyrics jabs at his opponents. Two of my favorite tracks on it (not that i bought it or anything haha) were “remember me” (where he talks about his career and how much he has done for the wrestling sport) and “Be a Man” a track directed at the Hulkster.

Here is the Track “Remember Me” on YouTube.

Macho man was also known for his wildly colorful and flagrant wrestling costumes, everything from zebra stripes to cowboy hats were a common site in his usual ring wear. His raspy voice was one of the best weapons as he pumped up the crowd pre-and post interviews with his trademark “OOHH YEAH”, eventually made even more famous for the slim-jim commercials he starred in for a few years. Macho Man, you will be missed, and not soon forgotten.
