• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (May 20, 2011) – Old School WWF Legend Passed Away
On this day in 2011 we lost Old School WWF/WCW Legend “The Macho Man” Randy Savage (Real name: Randall Poffo) at the age of 58.
Randy Savage is widely considered to be one of the greatest of all time in professional wrestling.
Most notably The Macho Man wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation from 1985 to 1994 and for Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling from 1994 till 2000.
The last time we ever saw Savage in the ring was in late 2004, when he wrestled for Total Nonstop Action (now known as iMPACT Wrestling) on PPV.
In 2015 he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by his former tag team partner and friend “The Immortal” Hulk Hogan.
His brother “Leaping” Lanny Poffo (The Genius) accepted the induction on Randy’s behalf.
REST IN PEACE MACHO MAN!
November 15, 1952 – May 20, 2011

• Old School WWF Veteran Celebrates His Birthday
Old School WWF Attitude Era Legend “The Road Dogg” Jesse James (Real name: Brian James) celebrates his birthday today.
After wrestling as Brian Armstrong (WCW 1993-1994) and The Roadie (WWF 1995), he eventually ended up becoming one half of the now legendary Tag Team ‘The New Age Outlaws’ with his team partner “Bad Ass” Billy Gunn.
Both also went on to become long time members of one of the most famous factions in professional wrestling history, D-Generation X.
In 2019 Road Dogg was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, alongside his DX buddies Billy Gunn, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, X-Pac & (posthumously) Chyna.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROAD DOGG!
