"Macho Man" Randy Savage

"Macho Man" Randy Savage During His Wrestling Career

This is ultimately 3 days after the fact, but I still feel like it is something that I need to mention. Last Friday, legendary pro wrestler "Macho Man" Randy Savage (real name Randall Mario Poffo) passed away at the age of 58. The cause of death is still under investigation at this point. There are many reports stating that he suffered at heart attack while driving, lost control of the vehicle, jumped over a median and crashed into a tree. His wife suffered some injuries, but is at least physically okay.

It is sad to see another death in pro wrestling, especially a guy that was as entertaining and talented as the "Macho Man." He is one of the few guys in the wrestling business who could truly be as convincing good guy, as he can be a bad guy. And while I was too young to remember his legendary matches from then WWF, I do remember seeing what he could do while he was in WCW and those matches will always stand out in my mind whenever I think of Randy Savage.

One thing that I was always surprised about is how he never made a real comeback to wrestling after leaving WCW many years ago. Most of the other veterans from yesteryear have all generally kept wrestling or are still involved somewhere, such as Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair. 

But then it had to have been for the best, by this I mean Savage not returning to the ring. I mean the man seemed content (again, most guys almost never can stay away from the ring for very long) and even got married just barely a year ago this month.

Another irreplaceable character gone, another man that will never be forgotten. Macho Madness will live forever!
