According to TMZ (http://www.tmz.com/2011/05/20/randy-savage-car-accident-macho-man-dead-dies-died-killed-wwe-wrestler-florida/)

In his day he was pretty entertaining. He was only 58.

Yeah, I saw this earlier today. I follow the WWE type sites/forums pretty closely. Shocked the hell out of me to tell you the truth. R.I.P, Macho Man. :(

Lots of stories out on the web about how much of a true professional of his craft he was and how different he was out of character.  Loved the showmanship and athleticism of the "Macho Man".

RIP, Randy....

He was great! An awesome showman. Bret "Hitman" Hart was my favorite (probably still my favorite of all time) but Macho Man and Jimmy Superfly Snooka were very close seconds. Monday night raw did a pretty decent tribute to him last week.
