Sources are reporting that famous old school wrestler Randy Savage had a heart attack while driving and died. Ooooh noooo!
I remember him from his outstanding wrestling feud with Hulk Hogan in '89 when the Mega Powers Tag Team they were in imploded spectacularly during a match with the Twin Towers! It was amazing!
Wikipedia Backstory: When the Mega Powers wrestled The Twin Towers Akeem threw Savage out of the ring and onto Miss Elizabeth knocking her unconscious! Hogan saw what happened and carried Elizabeth from the ring to the medical area. When Elizabeth was revived, she implored a distraught Hogan to return to the ring to help Savage, who had been left to fight the two gargantuans on his own for several minutes.
Hogan eventually called for the tag, but Savage, who was furious with being abandoned during the match, slapped Hogan in the face. After some choice words to a confused Hogan, he took his World Title belt, and stormed back to the locker room. Hulk Hogan defeated The Twin Towers by himself.
After the match, Hogan went to check on Elizabeth. Macho Man was back there too, who was caught in mid-tirade yelling to Elizabeth that as world champion he was tired of taking a backseat to both Hogan and Elizabeth in the Mega Powers pecking order. Upon Hogan's arrival, Savage turned his frustration to him, accused Hogan of trying to steal Elizabeth from him, and manipulate the belt away from him. Hogan implored Elizabeth to try and talk some sense into him before Savage attacked him by hitting him in the face with the title belt, sealing the end to their partnership and beginning their feud. Enter Scary Sherri!
It was fucking awesome!
Anyways, the wrestler is now clothes lining Andre the Giant somewhere over the rainbow...RIP Macho Man!
