Randy Macho Man Savage had a heart attack behind the wheel and lost control and died about 10 a.m. EST.

Sad Day. To cheer myself up:

Macho Man at Pearly Gates - "Am I first in line for the rapture?" Peter then slapped him with a slim jim.

Ah man, loved him as a kid watching wrestling!

Bummer. I was a HUGE wrestling fan back in the 80's and he was one of my favorites. In case some of you didn't know, his former manager, Miss Elizabeth, died several years ago too.

Found this interesting, over 1/4 of the performers from 1991's Wrestelemania VII are now dead...



By comparision, none of the 44 starters from the 91' Super Bowl have passed.

roids, it'll do a body good huh?

yer list is missing the heart guy...god I cant remember his name.....long dark hair...always with the sunglasses, pink n black pants i believe. pretty sure he died doing a stunt wrestling.

Eather way though, yeah steroids are nasty. look at all the heart issues for guys who should be in good physical health.


Steroids.....the nut shrinkin heart poppin drug...gee can i get me some a that?

You are confusing Brett "The Hit Man" Hart with his younger brother Owen Hart. Brett is still alive, and was the one who spit in the face of Vince McMahon out of real anger after a wrestling match. Owen Hart died when the harness he was attached to broke as he was being lowered to the ring as part of his entrance at a Wrestlemania event. He landed face first into the turn buckle and died shortly thereafter of brain trauma.

Hasn't Macho Man been in trouble for drugs too? I thought he was a coke head, but I could be remembering that wrong.

I don't take steroids, never have, but I learned quite a bit about them when I was a gym rat for a few years.

There's really no definitive proof that they cause long-term health side effects if used moderately.

Most of these wrestlers are on quite a bit of stuff in addition to pain killers, or as WJB said coke, etc.

Being a pro wrestler is an extreme life style.

A friend of mine was the head bouncer at a prominent Detroit strip club. All of those guys came in there one time after an event. He said that it was crazy seeing the people that hate each other on TV chumming it up and buying each other beers. He also said that their bar tab and "other stuff" was flowing quite freely.

Thank you sir! it's been a loooong time since I followed any kind of wrestling..and I did indeed get those two confused.
