Lanny Poffo is the younger brother of ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage. Poffo was recently a guest on the Xpac 1,2,360 show, hosted by Sean ‘Xpac’ Waltman. During the interview they spoke on a wide variety of topics, including a potential match between Macho Man and the ‘Heartbreak Kid’ Shawn Michaels.
Poffo says that it was around the time when Savage was doing commentary for the WWF:
“It was right about the time Randy was on the announcing table, right? You were there, the 1-2-3 Kid, and doing fantastic for yourself. Well Randy started watching and getting the bug back, you see what I mean? He started getting that, maybe I’m not too old. Maybe I can have one more match. He was always known for his match with Ricky Steamboat [at Wrestlemania III]” (Source: Xpac 1,2,360).

Poffo continued, revealing Savage’s idea for a match against HBK:
“So he thought that he could possibly start a little something with Shawn Michaels, and then have a two-year program, then have the showdown at WrestleMania. His intention was to have a Hair vs. Career match, where Shawn Michaels would shave his head or Randy would give up his career and go to the announcing booth. Randy would drop the match, go back to the announcing booth, but he wanted to end his career with a better match than he had with Steamboat” (Source: Xpac 1,2,360).
Really upset we missed out on this! I imagine that Shawn and Savage would have put together an incredible match. You can watch the full video at the source link if you are at all interested!
