Randy Poffo – better known as Macho Man Randy Savage- was, and still is a true legend. The man had a propensity for greatness, and always left his audience wanting more. As a professional wrestler, he claimed 29 championships, and held 11 titles throughout a 32 year career.
Regardless of whether you like pro wrestling or think it is silly – if you see the “Madness,” or even hear the rasp of his voice, you undoubtedly know right away who he is. Despite his untimely passing, he lives on through multiple sources, and countless fans worldwide.
If Randy Savage was known best for anything, it was his wild optimism, and his borderline-insane presence on, and off ,the stage. It didn’t take a camera, or a screaming audience to get his entertaining antics in motion. This was who he was.

Hope these “Macho Man” Randy Savage Quotes made you smile today!
There are a multitude of wise men throughout history. Some of them taught about life, or love, or even death. There were those that could profess all three, but never in such a way that kept listeners laughing, and cheering as The Madness definitely did. Yet, the Macho Man Randy Savage wasn’t a philosopher, or some great guru. He was simply an entertainer, an athlete, a friend, a father, a husband, a musician, and (for the most part) a regular man just living his life; and OHHH YEEEAH, you bet he lived it!
I hope you thoroughly enjoyed the list! From quote number 2 (the Slim Jim ad), all the way to number 58 (when he said goodbye to his father), these words are all of ours to toast, and pay homage to the greatest wrestling champion the world has ever known. In doing so, we should remember that greatness comes in many forms.
We all have the ability, and the option to become the greatest version of ourselves. Sometimes it takes walking through a door that’s hard to see. Sometimes it’s as easy as not going through at all. Sometimes it takes opening the door ourselves. Then there are times when you rip the door off the hinges, and strut through it yelling “OHH YEEEAAHH!!”
The choice is ours to make.. and the beat goes on…
