Saturday, June 4, 2011

Randy “Macho Man” Savage, the professional wrestler known for his raspy voice, the sunglasses and bandanas he wore in the ring and the young woman named Miss Elizabeth who often accompanied him, died in a car crash Friday in Florida. He was 58. A Florida Highway Patrol crash report said the former wrestler – whose legal name was Randy Mario Poffo – was driving a Jeep Wrangler when he lost control in Pinellas County around 9:25 am The Jeep veered over the raised concrete median divider, crossed over the eastbound lanes and collided head-on with a tree. Police said he may have suffered a “medical event” before the accident, but the report did not elaborate, and it said officials would need to perform an autopsy to know for sure. The report said a woman in the vehicle, identified as Barbara L. Poffo, 56, suffered minor injuries. A statement from Stamford, Conn.-based World Wrestling Entertainment said the passenger was the wrestler’s current wife. Both were wearing their seatbelts, according to the police report. “Poffo will be greatly missed by WWE and his fans,” the statement said. Savage was a charismatic wrestler made famous for his “Macho Man” nickname and his “Oooh Yeah!” catchphrase. He was a champion in Vince McMahon’s World Wrestling Federation, and later Ted Turner’s now-defunct World Championship Wrestling. Poffo was under contract with WWE from 1985 to 1993 and held both the WWE and Intercontinental TMZ.com is reporting that WWE legend “Macho Man” Randy Savage

    @gnetikjakhammer I agree, a 10 bell salute BETTER be done tonight. The first 15 minutes of the show should all be about him, with clips and mention shown the entire show between matches.

    Agreed with you there my friend, a huge loss to the Wrestling community, it’s a shame we will never get the Hall of Fame induction of Randy Savage in person that’s been long overdue for years now. :(

    Let´s hope Vince has the guts to induct him into the HOF next year, that will be a true honnor for the Macho Man.
    Thanks for all the great moments Randy

    @gnetikjakhammer who looks like a kid?? You know inside you that you’ll still watch it no matter what happens. I just happen to know that because all wrestling fans are like that if it doesnt go “their” way

    Wrestlers come and go – few will leave this world a legend. Randy Savage is a true legend.

    @vivilakers you fucking kid. Like i previously mentioned there is absolutely NO reason to keep watching that garbage product. They dont even want to be known as wrestlers anymore…what a huge joke.

    @vivilakers most likely. I mean what’s left to keep watching? The miz? hahahaha what a joke he is.

    Oh wait, maybe I can watch the excessively long beatdowns involving kharma? psssh give me a break

    The only thing left that WWE can pull off is the rock vs cena, and I’m sure that will be a letdown as well.

    So yeah….I’m done with WWE.
