Macho Man Randy Savage dies after car accident; pro wrestling star was 58

Macho Man Randy Savage died Friday morning in Florida after suffering a heart attack at the wheel, crossing the median and crashing his Jeep Wrangler into a tree. The former pro wrestling star was 58.

Second wife Lynn Payne was a passenger during the crash and suffered minor injuries, Florida Highway Patrol told TMZ, which first reported the news. Wrestler Lanny Poffo confirmed the death of his brother, born Randall Mario Poffo, to the website.

I saw this earlier. He and Junkyard Dog were my favorites growing up and now they have both passed.

According to TMZ

In his day he was pretty entertaining. He was only 58.
“Don’t vote for the person who tells you you deserve something. Just don’t do it if it’s something other than life, liberty, or the pursuit of possible happiness. If everyone is telling you you deserve something, vote for the one who is promising you the least. Be suspicious of the man or woman who tell you deserve everything. Because you don’t.” ---Mike Rowe

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....

I saw this earlier. He and Junkyard Dog were my favorites growing up and now they have both passed.

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.
