R.I.P. Macho Man Randy Savage

Randy "Macho Man'' Savage, the professional wrestler known for his raspy voice, the sunglasses and bandanas he wore in the ring and the young woman named Miss Elizabeth who often accompanied him, died in a car crash Friday in Florida. He was 58. A Florida Highway Patrol crash report said the former wrestler - whose legal name was Randy Mario Poffo - was driving a Jeep Wrangler when he lost control in Pinellas County around 9:25 a.m. The Jeep veered over the raised concrete median divider, crossed over the eastbound lanes and crashed head-on into a tree. Police said he may have suffered a "medical event'' before the accident, but the report did not elaborate, and it said officials would need to perform an autopsy to know for sure.

Yowzers. Worst way to die besides being trapped in an oil painting for the rest of your life? I think so. He was a fighter to the bitter end I suppose. R.I.P. Macho Man.
