The American wrestling legend Randy Savage, known to his fans as "Macho Man", has died in a car crash aged 58.
The former champion – whose legal name was Randy Poffo – was known for his husky voice, gaudy costumes and "oooh, yeah!" catch phrase.
Once a minor league baseball player, Savage rose to fame as Macho Man in the 1980s in the World Wrestling Federation, now known as the WWE. He was considered a charismatic and athletic performer in the choreographed world of professional wrestling and he held numerous championships.
Under contract with the World Wrestling Federation from 1985 to 1993, he competed against fellow stars including Hulk Hogan, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
His entrance music was Pomp and Circumstance and his signature accessories were sunglasses, bandannas and colourful cowboy hats.
His father Angelo Poffo and brother "Leaping" Lanny Poffo also wrestled professionally.
He was "an iconic figure," said hall of fame professional wrestler Dusty "The American Dream" Rhodes.
The wrestler's jeep collided with a tree after it crossed the carriageway near to his home in Seminole, Florida, US police said.
Savage died of his injuries at a nearby hospital. His wife, a passenger in the vehicle, was treated for minor injuries.
Media quoted his brother as saying the retired showman had suffered a heart attack at the wheel, though police in Florida would not comment until a postmortem had been performed.
The crash was not alcohol-related, authorities said.
A statement on the WWE website read: "WWE is saddened to learn of the passing of one of the greatest Superstars of his time. Our sincerest condolences go out to his family and friends."

It's hard to decide whether he'll be remembered more for his wrestling career... or his contributions to the music world...

In any case, RIP, Macho Man.

OHHHHHH YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

I'm gonna go snap into a Slim Jim in his honor.

Its always odd to me to hear about the death of a wrestler for some reason. I can't really recall hearing about a wrestler I knew dying a natural death. Maybe Andre the Giant? Heart attack? I guess Randy Savage also died of a heart attack but to also crash his car, just a sad way to go. I remember hearing about the tragic death of Owen Heart awhile back, wasn't there a third well known WWF wrestler who died recently?

Eddie Guerrero came to my highschool in 02 or 03 or something, he was a super nice guy. Benoit on the other hand...apparently, just a total fuckface.

LifeDistortion · 05.25.2011, 02:22 PM

Yeah, both those guys you mentioned. Its like you rarely ever hear of a wrestler dying cause of old age. I mean I know it happens, but so many seem to die prematurely in one way or another. Chris Benoit, apparently killed himself and his family in some steriod rage.

floatingslowly · 05.25.2011, 08:36 PM

you shouldn't have done that.

yoogio is sensitive to the respecting of dead low-quality meat vendors who perish from blown-out valves secondary to years and years of the overuse and abuse of testicular-shrinking drugs that may or may not advance an aging career based upon the vaudevillian theatrics of a lower-than-the-meat-he's-peddling quality.

just you wait until a ninja turtle dies. he'll forget about vomit zombie porn and weep even louder.

THAT is when you move in for the kill.
