Sadly, as we all know by now, yesterday morning, Macho Man Randy Savage died after suffering a heart attack while driving and crashed head on into a tree. He was 58 years old.
His wife suffered minor injuries, thankfully. As of writing this, she has been released from the hospital. My thoughts and prayers are with her and the rest of the Poffo family.
I had just heard an interview with Randy's brother, Lanny. He talked about how two people should be in the Hall of Fame that aren't, those two being Bruno Sammartino and Randy Savage. So true.
He also spoke of how Randy was happy in life, and very happy with where he is after living with some anger for many years. It was so good to hear.
Then yesterday happened.
I could sit here and ramble through his amazing career, but I know a hundred thousand other people and blogs will do a way better job than I could ever do.
I suggest checking out the following sites:
thepowerbomb.com
my123cents.blogspot.com
wrestlingdigest.wordpress.com
henchmanforhire.com
All fantastic sites for reading about professional wrestling.
I just wanted to share a few highlights. We all remember the Savage/Steamboat classic and when the Mega Powers exploded.
But for me, my favorite Savage feud was with Jake The Snake Roberts.
Two guys who made every feud they were in memorable. Put then together and you've got a classic.
Who can forget "the bite"?
Here's their match from Saturday Nights Main Event
Great times with two should be Hall of Famers.
RIP Randy, you gave me and all fans hundreds of great memories. There will never be another Macho Man.
A classic promo

Until next time, keep it rockin'
