RIP: Angelo Poffo

Legendary wrestling star Angelo Poffo passed away at his home in Sarasota Florida this morning at the age of 84. Although most fans best know Poffo as the father of "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Lanny "The Genius" Poffo, Angelo was a star in his own right. Poffo began his career in 1948 and wrestled throughout NWA territories before beginning his own "outlaw" promotion that ran competition to Jerry Lawler and Jerry Jarrett. Poffo was known for his immense stamina and at one time held the Guiness record for most consecutive sit-ups. Poffo last appeared on the national scene when he helped son Randy during his feud with Ric Flair in WCW in 1995.
