Macho Man Randy Savage: WWF Wrestler, Corporate Spokesperson, Musician?
History has seen a number of entertainers launch music careers, none more critically acclaimed and universally praised than Macho Man Randy Savage's 2003 Rap Masterpiece - Be a Man.
"I have always been more of a rock 'n roller but the fact that I can't sing always stopped me from entertaining in that way. When rap came along I jumped all over it," - Randall Mario Poffo (Macho Man)
Including a tribute to "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig as well as a diss track aimed at Hulk Hogan, Be a Man was an incredibly promising debut and was expected to spark a long and prosperous career for MC Savage. However, always the entertainer, Macho ended up changing gears to focus on his acting career. Check out his work in Spiderman.
Fast Forward to 2010. World Wrestling Entertainment has floundered due to the rising popularity of UFC and the fact that it is just plain awful. In an attempt to re-invigorate the "sport" Macho Man has been throwing his name "into the ring" of summer festival reunion tours.
Unfortunately, Coachella organizers Goldenvoice are not smelling what Macho Man is cookin, they have denied Macho's application to play Coachella. Nochella caught up with Macho's manager James Jones for details: "Randy is back in 2011, we are disappointed Golden Voice didn't think so, we'll be taking our flying elbows and life time supply of Slim Jim's to this years Rock the Bells festival instead."
"You were my perfect friend
Right there until the end
I'm forever missin' you
Until we meet again"
- Macho Man Randy Savage, "Perfect Friend"
Until we meet again, Macho.
