Tragic Details About 'Macho Man' Randy Savage

As outlandish as he was in the ring, Macho Man Randy Savage was very different in his personal life. He was just as passionate, but many recalled a more reserved and sometimes even paranoid man. Here are some of the more tragic details from the life of Macho Man Randy Savage.

Wrestling is entirely about cooperative storytelling, but that doesn't mean wrestlers themselves have to get along. Many of the best matches have been between people who despised each other well beyond the normal face/heel dynamic. Savage had the misfortune of getting on the bad side of one of the biggest wrestling attractions of all time: Andre the Giant. Andre was noted for being especially aggressive with Savage, throwing him around the ring and pulling at his hair.

Two reasons have been given for Andre's animosity towards Savage. The first is Macho's extensive use of baby oil, which helps muscled wrestlers stand out but also makes them hard to grapple. Savage's brother Lanny Poffo told the Tampa Bay Times,

"Andre hated baby oil, but Randy wouldn't stop wearing it. He stubbornly said Andre's gimmick is being a giant and mine is baby oil. He never backed down from Andre and they never got along because of it."

The second, as recounted by Andre's daughter, was his zero tolerance policy for steroids — and once he found out that the Macho Man stayed Macho by using them, that was it.
