Angelo John Poffo (April 10, 1925 – March 4, 2010) was an American professional wrestler and wrestling promoter.

He ran International Championship Wrestling for a number of years, holding cards in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Arkansas.

He is the father of "Macho Man" Randy Savage and "The Genius" Lanny Poffo and the father-in-law of Miss Elizabeth.

[1] He formed a villainous tag team with Chris Markoff called "The Devil's Duo" in 1966, and they were managed by Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.

[1] During Poffo's time in college, he met another student at DePaul, Judith (Judy) nee Sverdlin[1] from Naperville, Illinois; they wed on June 6, 1949.

On Angelo's 70th birthday in 1995, Randy paid $50,000 (equivalent to $103,000 in 2024) to buy his father a yellow Cadillac automobile, the same car Poffo had purchased in 1959 and drove around the wrestling circuit for 200,000 miles.

His son Randy told the Tampa Bay Times, “I have always been 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.

He has always been my hero and my mentor, and the priceless gifts he gave I will have and cherish forever.”[10] Poffo is buried at Queen of Heaven Catholic Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois, near his hometown of Downers Grove.
