Randy Savage, A.K.A. 'Macho Man', was a huge part of my childhood. Together with Hulk Hogan, who was the poster boy of WWF (World Wrestling Federation) back in the 80's up to the 90's, the two were the duo to beat in the wrestling universe back then. Although 'Macho Man' was not my most favorite wrestler back then, since I was a hardcore Bret Hart fan, Randy Savage's wrestling persona was a treat to watch on TV. He wore neon costumes, he had a funny voice, and he called himself the 'Macho Man' though there were a lot of other wrestlers who were bigger and burlier than him. He looked average--but his personality was not.
Who could ever forget how Macho Man and Hulk Hogan battled over Miss Elizabeth? |
This morning, everyone was shocked when news came out that the wrestling legend has passed away due to a vehicular accident.
RIP Macho Man. We'll miss you, brother.
