<p>Right out of high school, <a href="/biography/randy-savage">Poffo</a> was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals at the age of 18 and was placed in the minor leagues to develop as an outfielder. He became a well-known pro wrestler in the 1950s and 1960s.

Georgia Championship Wrestling <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ole_Anderson">booker</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ole_Anderson">Ole Anderson</a> also told him that the name <a href="/biography/randy-savage">Poffo</a> did not fit someone who "wrestled like a savage" which also contributed to his name choice.</p>

<p>Joining the WWE in June 1985, <a href="/biography/randy-savage">Macho Man</a> had such an effect, that he won his first WWE title just one year later.

<p>Achievement kept on matching with <a href="/biography/randy-savage">Macho Man</a> in 1988 when he won a tremendous tournament at WrestleMania IV to win his first WWE World Championship. During his rule as champion, he and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_Hogan">Hulk Hogan</a> framed one of the most impressive tag teams to ever step foot in a ring. The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Powers">Mega Powers</a> were destroying any team that challenged them. A misconception and a pinch of jealous rage involved <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Elizabeth">Miss</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Elizabeth">Elizabeth</a> sent Savage into a fury at NBC's The Main Event, driving him to assault his tag team partner.
