“Macho Man” Randy Savage<\/strong>‘s ashes were spread at the base of a tree at his Florida home yesterday … and in compliance with his final request, the family REFUSED to play his wrestling theme music during the ceremony.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TMZ spoke to Randy’s brother Lanny Poffo<\/strong> who tells us Savage made it very clear in his funeral plans … NO ONE was to play his theme music, Pomp and Circumstance,<\/strong> while he was laid to rest.<\/p>\n

We’re told … in recent years, Randy felt extremely guilty about using the song, because it was first used by his idol, wrestling legend Gorgeous George<\/strong> …\u00a0 and Randy felt like he stole George’s thunder.<\/p>\n

Poffo tells us Randy’s closest friends and family members will meet again in Florida tomorrow to continue to mourn and honor Savage’s memory.<\/p>\n
