“The Genius” Lanny Poffo launched the first episode of his podcast today and the show was heavily focused on his brother “Macho Man” Randy Savage. Poffo took questions that were sent in by fans and one of them pertained to the infamous rumor that claims that his brother slept with a 17-year old Stephanie McMahon. The story that has made the rounds (and has never been confirmed by anyone in the wrestling business) is that Vince McMahon found out years later and that is why it took so long for WWE to induct him into the Hall Of Fame.
“I don’t know and if I knew I wouldn’t tell you because Randy was very very private and I have absolutely no idea if that happened,” Poffo said “I’ll tell you what did happen. Triple H did an interview on a magazine and they said ‘what do you think of Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man’ and he says ‘well they’re great but they are dinosaurs.’ Well, evidently Hulk Hogan didn’t mind being called a dinosaur.”
Savage was offended at Triple H’s comments about him and then proceeded to rip him in a members-only video that appeared on MachoMan.com in 2003. Poffo said that his brother mentioned Stephanie on the video as a way to get back at Triple H over the dinosaur comment. Poffo said, “He said some really outlandish things but don’t forget, he really liked Triple H and he felt that Triple H had disrespected him. Well, that was his way to get even with Triple H. Randy didn’t let things lie. He exacerbated everything.”
“I have absolutely no idea if the urban legend is true. Like I said if I knew I wouldn’t tell you. It’s none of anybody’s business. There’s only one person who knows for sure and that is Stephanie. Randy is not here and she’s not talking,” Poffo said.
