Randy "Macho Man" Savage Dead at 58

http://www.tmz.com/2011/05/20/randy-...stler-florida/

Quote:
TMZ spoke with Randy's brother, Lanny Poffo, who tells us the wrestling legend suffered a heart attack while he was behind the wheel around 9:25 AM ... and lost control of his vehicle.

Earlier this month, Savage celebrated his 1-year anniversary with his new wife Lynn.

Savage was 58.

I also was a pro-wrestling fan and Macho Man definitely was a legend.

Those who didn't watch wrestling may recognize him from the Slim Jim commercials. He was such a big part of the brand. I think he used to say "step into a Slim Jim."

I didn't recognize him in his older age and with the grey hair.

I was a fan of wrestling in the Macho Man days. May he RIP.

We were naming all of the wrestling icons at work the other day and of course he was one of the first ones I thought of. RIP

One of my favorite wrestlers of all time. I also remember the love triangle. He was awesome in Spiderman.
