Randy “Macho Man” Savage Dies in Car Accident

Mr. Daystar

In a bell tower, watching you through cross hairs.
He was one of the great ones. His brother wrestled in the WWF too, Leaping Lanny Poffo. It sucks he checked out like this...but I'm glad it wasn't another pain killer/muscle relaxer overdose. To many of these guys beat themselves up, then eat that crap like candy, and end up overdosing.
 
Damn, he was the reason I started watching WWF when I was a kid. Sucks that he had to die like that, but a car crash is better than being shot over cigarette smuggling.

Found this on youtube, without the black beard and hair he looks old (but like could still kick ass).
 
I like the Macho Man when he wrestled, especially the early stuff. I was saddened by some of the later stuff that happened to him. One of the best characters ever. You just don't get good old school stuff that's that good anymore.

RIP Randy.
 
I can't believe all the people who want him to rip. Just let him rest in peace...

Anyway, I already commented at both the WWE and TNA threads, but he's worthy of repeating.

I have said for a long time that, behind the flashy image (which itself was a new and unique concept for a wrestler) he was one of the best, one of the most important, and one of the most professional performers in professional wrestling. Savage was one of the all-time best at selling his opponents moves as well as his own. He always made his opponents look so much better with his help. He understood the right way to do the matches (something lacking today). Detail was very important to him and he demanded it from his opponents as much as from himself.
I still believe that if not for Macho man, Hulkamania wouldn't had grown the way it did (and thereby the WWF wouldn't had grown to the popularity that it did, putting pro wrestling on the map). Their alliance as the "Mega Powers" and then their feud were some of the best of the golden age of WWF. So was his feud with Ric Flair, and earlier with Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat which would lead to their match at Wrestlemania 3, still hailed as one of the best matches ever.

For WWE/WWF, WCW and TNA, he entertained so much for all of them.

Randy Poffo (his real name) went to the same high school as me - but about 25 years earlier. He held the state championships in high school wrestling as well. I think he still holds some kind of record there. He also was on their baseball and football teams. His brother Lanny Poffo (who also wrestled in WWF as The Genius) also went there.

I had a somewhat cheesy (but also cool) image in my head of the late Miss Elizabeth, his former manager/wife, holding open the golden ropes for him up there (if there's an 'up there').

Rest in peace Macho Man.

Thank you Moonchild and Ulysses and all the other guys for commenting here. Randy Savage was one of the true innovators of the WWF.

I remember his ringside marriage to the lovely Elizabeth. :lovecoupl

Randy along with Hulk Hogan, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff, Jake "the Snake" Roberts, Jessie "the Body" Ventura, Ted "the Million Dollar Man" Dibiase, Roy "the Honky Tonk Man" Farris, and along with the managers Bobby "the Brain" Heehan, Jimmy "the Mouth of the South" Hart, and "Mr." Fuji, and lasty, announcer Gene Okerland. Vince McMahon's crew. ;)

It made for an enjoyable Saturday afternoon. :)

I was actually watching WWE wrestling the other day. BORING! Savage was a part of the last really entertaining generation of pro wrestlers. RIP.
