[edit] Birthplace
One site says that he is born in ohio state , new mexico ... many others also say that Columbus, Ohio is his birthplace. Anyone know for sure where his birthplace is? Amchow78 20:29, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stephanie
I removed the Stephanie entry from the Trivia section, as there was no source and I've never heard that information anywhere else. If someone can come up with a source, please post it here. Bcarlson33 23:12, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- It's an urban legend, but there's no way to verify it. DonaldMick 02:52, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- This whole Savage-Stephanie is just pure BS, plain and simple. Duo02 *Shout here!** 19:10, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
The date that the rumour is supposed to stem from puts Steph at 18 years of age......100% urban myth. Surely innapropriate for Wiki? Darkie
[edit] twin boys
it says him and liz had twin boys this aint true but i won,t edit it someone else can.
I edited that for you. Why wouldn't you edit yourself? Just wondering. I've never read anywhere that Randy and Liz had any children, but then again wrestlers are very private so they may have a child. User:MgTurtle May13,2006.
For what it's worth, Savage said on an episode of the radio show Loveline that he has no children.Wayman975 20:22, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Catchphrase
His catchphrase is given as "Ohhhhhhhhhh, yeahhhhhhhhhhhh!". The comma seems inconsistent with his diction.
[edit] His early years.
There seems to be no mention of his early years with Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling in Nova Scotia, Canada where he wrestled with his brother Leapin Lanny alongside the Cuban Assassin Man Mountain Dean, Leo Burke, Killer Karl Kroup, and more in the late 70's. My father forced us to watch it on TV as a kid. Here is a link to some matches from that time including Lanny as well. He was a really impressive character even then, although a lot smaller.

[edit] Removed POV
I removed this part (whilst not logged in.)
- It should be noted, however, that there is no evidence or reason to believe that this rumor is true, other than Savage's strained relationship with Vince McMahon. One would also have to wonder why McMahon hadn't informed police of the incident, instead of just simply holding a grudge against Savage.
As it’s pure speculation on the part of the editor that added it. ~ IICATSII punch the keys 08:44, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Is Randy Savage black?
According to the One-drop theory article, Randy Savage is "considered black"! Can anyone familiar with Savage confirm whether he is generally considered to be black? 217.34.39.123 14:19, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

- In a 2005 interview with a wrestling-based website (wrestlingepicenter.com), Randy's brother Lanny claimed that their father, Angelo Poffo is half-African-American, half-Italian, but always "passed for white." If Lanny's being truthful, then the Poffos could be considered bi-racial.24.187.134.57 00:26, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism?
It seems someone has edited the page to say that Randy Savage's real name is Radovan Savic, and that he was born in Serbia. This simple isn't true. Can someone fix it please? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.161.52.208 (talk) 05:17, 27 January 2007 (UTC).
Umm....section entitled "Jack The Snake Roberts"....I think the name was JAKE?
[edit] Birthday
Randy Savage is younger than Hulk Hogan, he said that himself in 2003. If you check obsessedwithwrestling.com you 'll see that it is true. So he was born in 1953 not in 1952. He 's few months younger than Hulk.
