• Old School Wrestling Legend Would Have Celebrated His Birthday
Today would have been the birthday of Old School Wrestling Legend Angelo Poffo.
Poffo was a professional wrestler during the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s, as well as the promoter of International Championship Wrestling (ICW), but the thing Angelo was most famous for, was being the father of WWF Legend “The Macho Man” Randy Savage and WWF Veteran “The Genius” Lanny Poffo.
In 1995 he was inducted into the short-lived WCW Hall of Fame, but has yet to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, which is probably going to happen as part of their annual ‘Legacy Wing’ inductions.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY & REST IN PEACE!
April 10, 1925 – March 4, 2010
