5 former WWE Superstars who used the same ring name in multiple promotions

4) Macho Man Randy Savage - WWE & WCW

Macho Man Randy Savage is widely regarded as one of the most famous WWE superstars of all time. He came into the promotion during the golden era of the 1980s. Everything about his character was iconic. From the voice to his "Oh Yeah!" catchphrase to the unique attire, Savage made his mark very quickly in the company.

His relationship with Miss Elizabeth was the centerpiece of some of the biggest rivalries of the 80s and 90s for the WWE. Macho Man and Elizabeth are considered the first couple of the company.

Savage is one of the greatest Intercontinental Champions of all time and put on the first WrestleMania classic with Ricky The Dragon Steamboat at Mania III.

Macho Man Randy Savage parlayed the success of his IC Title reign to win the WWE Championship at WrestleMania IV. That led to the biggest partnership and rivalry of his career with and against Hulk Hogan, who headlined WrestleMania V. Macho Man won the WWE Championship once again over Ric Flair at WrestleMania VIII.

Savage maintained his legendary name when he left the WWE for WCW in late 1994. He would spend five years with the promotion. Macho Man won the WCW Heavyweight Championship on four occasions and was in great feuds against the likes of Ric Flair and Diamond Dallas Page during his time there. Savage might be one of the main superstars who made Vince McMahon start trademarking names.
