How long was Randy Savage married to Lynn?
How long was Randy Savage married to Lynn – Randy Savage’s legacy was the subject of a recent A&E Biography, however it looks that they didn’t get everything right.
Savage’s brother, Lanny Poffo, has spoken forward to refute some of the documentary’s misconceptions.
Savage married Barbara Lynn Payne in May 2010, according to Poffo.
The documentary claimed that Lynn was Savage’s “high school sweetheart,” however the timeline did not fit.
In an essay for Pro Wrestling Stories, Poffo went on to address another topic in the Biography, Savage’s first marriage.

Poffo went on to describe how the documentary’s story did not correspond to reality.
According to the A&E episode, Randy married Lynn, his high school girlfriend.
This was not the case. After graduating from high school in Downers Grove, Illinois, Randy couldn’t have found his girlfriend in a Chattanooga suburb. Even the Macho Man can’t accomplish that!
After graduating from high school in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, Lynn went to Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida.
At the time, Randy was playing baseball in the rookie league of the St. Louis Cardinals in Sarasota, while Lynn was learning to be an artist. This was their first encounter.
