Mixed him up with The Renegade.

You know, I always thought Macho Man Randy Savage had an awesomely inappropriate name.
It was only later that I learned Randy is a valid name in the US and it doesn't mean the same as it does in the UK.
Ultimate Warrior did become bat shit insane IRL though.
SNAP INTO A GUARD RAIL
:lol:

I had a kid named Randy in my 3rd grade class.
Did he get raptured while driving and crash?

uh, yeah... common name here. Usually short for Randall, and I've known a Randolph or two also.

I wouldn't call it common, but I would say it's not unusual.
