Former WWE star Randy "Macho Man" Savage, real name Randy Poffo, has issued the following statement concerning the death of his father Angelo Poffo.

Official Statement of Randy Poffo Regarding the Passing of his Father, Angelo Poffo

I have always been so proud to call Angelo Poffo my father. He is a great example of a self-sacrificing, hard-working man who always put his family first. As a parent, he was tough, but always fair. He was a true leader, and I am honored to be his son.

My father has left this world, but he will never leave my heart. He has always been my hero and my mentor, and the priceless gifts he gave I will have and cherish forever.

My family and I would like to thank my dad’s fans for all the support and well wishes they have expressed this past week.

Randy Poffo

There was much disappointment among the Poffo family as Randy Savage contacted both WWE and TNA, asking them to send some kind of a message to be read at his father's funeral. TNA sent a message while WWE ignored his request. Angelo Poffo passed away two weeks ago on Mar. 4.
