Everyone knows the big iconic wrestlers from the good old days: Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, the Rock, Robin Hood... okay, maybe not the last one but he did wear tights like the rest. The pro wrestling world lost of the great all timers yesterday. The Macho Man himself, Randy Savage, died after getting into a car accident. Police would say that Randy may have had a "medical event" before the crash. Either way, a legend is dead.
Randy Savage was known for wearing sunglasses and for his amazing ring attire which varied over the years. He was known most for his career with the WWE (then known as the WWF, damn the World Wildlife Fund) and then the WCW. He was also a multi champion of the ring having 10 world titles during his career. He was also accompanied by Miss Elizabeth for a time. He also starred in various Slim Jim ads using the great line of "Snap into a Slim Jim."
May the Macho Man rest in peace and be forever remembered as an icon.
P.S. This is a sports figure that deserves coverage and quite frankly the WWE needs more mainstream coverage. I know it's not a real sport but neither is golf and that's gets covered way too much.
