is a former American professional wrestler and actor who is best known for his time with Total Nonstop

notably under the names "Leaping Lanny Poffo" and "The Genius."

His first wrestling character, "The Spider Friend", was similar to Spider-Man.is name change from Randy Poffo came at the suggestion of Georgia Championship Wrestling (GCW) who said that the name 
Poffo didn't fit someone who "wrestled like a savage".[3] During this transition from Poffo to Savage.

He made his pay-per-view (PPV) debut at The Wrestling Classic on November 7, 1985, where he defeated Ivan Putski, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, and the Dynamite Kid on his way to finishing runner-up to 
Junkyard Dog in a sixteen man tournament.[13] Junkyard Dog beat him by countout in the finals.

On November 2, 1985 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event, he unsuccessfully challenged Santana for 
the title (Savage won the match by countout but not the title because a title does not change hands by 
countout)[14] before defeating Santana in a rematch on February 24, 1986 (taped February 8) edition of 

Prime Time Wrestling to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship at the Boston Garden.

Early on in his WWF career, Savage also won two countout victories in Madison Square Garden over his future tag-team partner WWF Champion Hulk Hogan (although the belt did not change due to the countout) and engaged in historic feuds with Bruno Sammartino and George "the Animal" Steele.
Savage wrestled in what is widely considered to be one of the greatest matches in North American 
wrestling history when he faced Ricky Steamboat at WrestleMania III in the Pontiac Silverdome.
Savage was a stickler for detail, and he and Steamboat laid out and rehearsed every spot in the match 
prior to WrestleMania, at his home in Florida. The highly influential match was considered an instant 
classic by both fans and critics and was named 1987's Match of the Year by both Pro Wrestling Illustrated and the Wrestling Observer. 

Won the King of the Ring tournament in 1987.

The Mega Powers were born.Hogan and Savage together ruled the WWF with series of victories.
Savage reached the pinnacle of his career to date at WrestleMania IV when after defeating Butch Reed, 
Greg Valentine, and One Man Gang on the same day,he defeated "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase in 
the finals of a 14 man tournament for the vacant WWF Championship.

Savage was a successful champion and held the title for over a year and defended the WWF title against 
the likes of One Man Gang and André the Giant.

At WrestleMania V, Savage dropped the WWF title to Hogan after a reign of 371 days, becoming sixth 
longest reigning WWF Champion in history (no champion after Savage held the title for more than a year 
until John Cena nineteen years later).

Savage and Zeus faced Hogan and Beefcake in a rematch contested in a steel cage at No Holds Barred, 
and lost again.

He adopted the moniker "Macho King" after defeating Jim Duggan for the makeshift King's Crown 
Championship. Kings crown championship was equallent to King of the ring in modern terms.

delivering five consecutive elbow drops as the Warrior somehow managed to kick out and return to score 
the victory after several flying clotheslines and shoulder blocks.

long as Warrior left wwf and hence Macho paired with Perfect to defeat Flair and Ramon viz DQ in 1992.
