Macho Man is Dead

In honor, I will snap into a Slim Jim...

Macho Man Randy Savage -- one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time -- died today in a car accident in Tampa, Florida ... TMZ has learned. TMZ spoke with Randy's brother, Lanny Poffo, who tells us the wrestling legend suffered a heart attack while he was behind the wheel around 9:25 AM ... and lost control of his vehicle. Earlier this month, Savage celebrated his 1-year anniversary with his new wife Lynn. Savage was 58. Macho Man began wrestling in the WWF in 1985 and became a superstar with his trademark catchphrase "Ooooooh Yeaahhhhh." UPDATE: Florida Highway Patrol tells TMZ ... Savage was driving his 2009 Jeep Wrangler when he veered across a concrete median ... through oncoming traffic ... and "collided head-on with a tree." Savage was transported to Largo Medical center, where he died from his injuries. Savage's wife was a passenger in the vehicle during the collision -- but survived with "minor injuries." She was transported to a different local hospital where she was treated.

Always liked him back in the day. Rest in peace. At least he can hang out with Miss Elizabeth wherever he goes.

I was 13 years old when he hit the WWF, and was really into it then. I loved how he always spoke with the hand extended and pointing.

RIP

i was expecting that maybe there was a get-together at the hulkster's house and the macho man got taken out by hulkster's d-bag son in teh panty-dropper supra...

RIP Macho Man!

I don't know anything about him other than this:

But yeah, rest in peace. Heart attack at 58 is too young for anybody. :(

That sucks. Im not trying to be funny, but the Slim-Jim plant closed for good here today. Weird.

RIP

I think he was a born again Christian. maybe he didn't die, maybe he got raptured early. Either way, sad to see him go.

Steroid use will do that. Remember Lyle Alzado?

That is the first horn of the rapture.

It has started.

Duggans' never gonna die. He's gonna be like the Claw or the Iron Sheik. I believe the next one to go from that era-ish is either Scott Hall, or Lex Luger.

If Abe Vigoda, Chuck Norris or Joanne Woodward go before 6:01pm tomorrow then call me a believer.

I'll see you in the top turn buckle in the sky.

OOOOOHHHHHH YEEEEEYAAAAAHHHH! SNAP INTO A WINDSHIELD!

(too soon?)

I've already heard SNAP INTO A TREE OOOOOHHHHHH YEEEAAAAHHHH, so you're good.

^Sorry about that one.

I always hate what a terrible person I am, but I can't seem to change it. That's hysterical.
