Never knew Macho Man was born in CBUS


Early life[edit]
Poffo was born in Columbus, Ohio,[5][6] the elder son of Judy and Angelo Poffo. His father was Italian American and his mother was Jewish; Poffo was raised Roman Catholic.[15] Angelo was a well-known wrestler in the 1950s and 1960s, who was featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not! for his ability to do sit-ups for hours on end.[15] His younger brother is professional wrestler Lanny Poffo. He lived in Zanesville, Ohio, where he attended Grover Cleveland Middle School. He graduated from Downers Grove North High School in Downers Grove, Illinois.[16] He later moved to Staten Island, New York, before moving to Lexington, Kentucky, where he lived for many years.[17]

Baseball career[edit]
Savage was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals organization as a catcher out of high school.[18] He was placed in the minor leagues to develop, where he mostly played as an outfielder[19] in the St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds, and Chicago White Sox farm systems.[5]Savage was 18 when he began playing minor league baseball; one of his teammates on the 1971 Gulf Coast League Cardinals was Larry Herndon who was also his roommate.[18] Savage would swing a bat into a hanging car tire as a regular training exercise in order to strengthen his hands and make sure he utilized his legs during swings. The technique was so effective that Herndon adopted it and used it during his own career as a baseball coach.[18] Savage injured his natural (right) throwing shoulder after a collision at home plate, and he learned to throw with his left arm instead. Savage's last season was 1974, when he played for the Tampa Tarpons.[19] He played 289 games in four minor league seasons, batting .254 with 16 home runs and 66 RBIs.[18]

:lol:

That's such a terrible opener. You can see the thought process of trying to tie in a belt with winning something that isn't a wrestling match, and then just giving up and slamming that god awful collection of words together.
