Wrestling lost another legend today, when "Macho Man" Randy Savage apparently suffered a heart attack at the wheel of his car, and was killed in the resulting crash. Savage was possibly second only Hogan in glory days of the WWF, becoming a megastar in the late 80's following that all-time six-star classic IC title match with Ricky Steamboat at WrestleMania III. It's hard to say whether Savage would have survived the heart attack had he not been driving, but for many years I feared he would fall victim to the roid legacy, as many before him had - Guererro, Rude, Hennig...- but I will sure miss Savage. Surely his long overdue Hall Of Fame induction is now only ten months away. Ten months too late in this fan's opinion.
Rest in peace Mr. Poffo.

Autopsy reveals Randy ‘Macho Man’ Savage died of natural causesBy Chris Chase
An autopsy revealed that wrestling great Randy "Macho Man" Savage died from heart disease and not from any injury sustained in his May 20 car crash.
The St. Petersburg Medical Examiner's Office found that the 58-year-old had an enlarged heart with hardened coronary arteries. He became unresponsive while driving his Jeep Wrangler on a Florida highway in May and crashed into a tree. While the auto accident left minor cuts and bruises, the heart problems were the official cause of death of the wrestler.
At the time of his death, it was unknown whether the former wrestling star had died because of the heart issue or because the heart issue caused him to crash.
The coroner said Savage was found with therapeutic levels of a number of prescribed drugs in his system and that alcohol wasn't a factor. There was no evidence he was taking any heart medication, leading to the assumption that Savage may not have known about his condition.
His wife, Lynn, was riding in the car during the accident. Their Jeep Wrangler flipped over a concrete median into oncoming traffic before skidding into a tree. The couple were married in a beachfront ceremony in 2010.
Born Randy Poffo, the future Macho Man had a brief minor league baseball career before joining the wrestling circuit. He grew to fame in the 1980s with the WWF where his bouts with Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant and George "The Animal" Steele made him a star. Advertisements with Slim-Jim and his signature catchphrase, "Ooh yeah!," helped him become a household name.
Its nice to find out that Randy wasnt Jacked up on shit like most...
Its nice to see a Wrestler can retire and not go Postal or die in a squalid
Motel room by themselves..
Its a shame that he had to have a Heart Attack while driving...
Godspeed My Friend and Now we can Morn a Hero without any guilt

And One final thought from this long time Hater of Corporate Capitalism
