RIP: 'Macho Man' Randy Savage

[MoonSylver]

Wait, I wikied her right after that one wrestler roided out or something. She was too beautiful to be done in like that. A queen. I got curious one night & started hitting the Wikki pages on a bunch of my favorite wrestlers from back in the day. A lot of those poor bastards have had a hard road since then. It's actually pretty sad.

This is bogus... brotherrr.

Dooood, the other day I wikied Robert Schimmel, a hilarious comedian, because I wanted to see if he was still touring, and I find out he's been dead for about a year. All the shit in the guy's past that should've killed him, but he ends up biting it in a car crash. Maybe I should only wiki stars I hate, like Tom Cruise or Russell Brand or... it gets me when u have those favorite people u like seeing do their thing go too soon. like julius carry from the last dragon.......who'd ever get tired of that guy?

SHO NUFF!!! I was quite bummed when he passed. Pancreatic cancer. Rough way to go. i'd imagine so as a friend of mine had pancreatitis just recently and lost like 20 pounds in a week due to being in ICU only only having an IV drip to eat.

Huh. Apparently the Rapture WAS averted by a flying elbow from the top turnbuckle...

How is that shocking? Probably more than 90% of wrestlers wreck their bodies with steroids. That's why earlier in the thread I said it was no shock that Savage had a heart attack. I suppose it's also just a coincidence that most of them are bald but try to hide it? I bet their balls are the size of BB's too.

[AcesandEights]

I agree. Between the hell they put their bodies through, the lifestyle and the pull towards negative behavior that seems endemic to the industry, it's no surprise at all. Also, this: Apparently the Rapture WAS averted by a flying elbow from the top turnbuckle... Funny as hell

Maybe "shocking" isn't the best word when you really stop & think about it, but I havn't been a fan for years, & when I see a list like that, or go on Wikipedia & read up on some of the hard times some of these guys have fallen on, I'll admit I'm kind of shocked. Same way as when you see a high school teacher you used to have & they're so "OLD" now. You picture them in your mind they way you always knew them back then. When I was younger I always thought those guys were "rich" & "famous". However, both are fleeting, & then what's left? Funny as hell

Huh. Apparently the Rapture WAS averted by a flying elbow from the top turnbuckle... We shall miss that devastating elbow drop.

[Mitchified]

As a kid, I remember watching a Wrestlemania match where the Ultimate Warrior kicked out of five (FIVE!) Macho Man elbow drops. So if I've learned anything over the last few days, it's this: Ultimate Warrior > Rapture

[rongravy]

Wow, Some of the names on the list. Then I ended up spending even more time on wiki looking up others I could remember. I really only watched WWF from early 80's to around the mid/late 80's. But it seemed to be on all the time. All the characters were cool and hilarious. Now they just suck, as they have since I quit watching. The art has been dead for a very long time. Either that, or I just grew up. I hear people talking about wrestling like it's real... STILL. It's too much like a soap opera for guys, it was better back when I was still playing with my He Man peoples. I'm amazed people pay all that money to see it on PPV. I can't even think of any boxers I'd pay to see, let alone fake wrasslin'. That being said: RIP to all those from my hey day. Some of them died from car wrecks. And yeah, Bam Bigelow died with coke in him, but he did save those burning babies... Some of the ones I saw still alive, yeeeesh. Lanny Poffo? Danggggg.

The heart attack killed him and not the crash, itself. He had a blocked and enlarged heart. The same thing that killed Eddie Guerrero. http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story...011/?gt1=39002
