I have a couple of the Macho Man's ring worn tights and jackets for trade for other wrestler's ring worn wrestling items.

The autopsy on Macho Man was completed earlier today, and the medical examiner indicated that it was purely the work of a heart problem that cost Savage his life.

Savage was found to have an enlarged heart and massive blockage of his coronary arteries.

Physical injuries were minimal from the crash and, while Savage did have traces of alcohol and one other substance in his system, the amounts of each were not sufficient to have had an impact on the accident.

RIP, Randy Poffo...the Macho Man was a legend in the old WWF (now WWE).

I saw him once up close and person in the 80's. Say what you want about Wrestling but Randy had a great voice and personality for the WWF and was highly entertaining. His OOOHHHH YEAH catchphrase is classic.

For full disclosure, Miss Elizabeth was the first woman I ever thought was beautiful. Even to this day, I think she is epically gorgeous. The fact she was his woman made me verrry envious of the Macho Man.

Funny, but to many of them who live the life it must be worth it.

The spotlight. The women. The glory.

ALL GLORY IS FLEETING<B>

"For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting."
- Gen. George C. Patton

And abuse of prescription pain killers a career of 20 - 30 years being on the road 300 nights per year, sure it is scripted but the abuse these guys take with their high flying moves and years of travel, injuries, etc. and then the pain killers and as mentioned roids and HGH etc. that is the end result if they even make it to 58 which as mentioned few seem to ever do.

It wasn't worth it.

In addition to trying his hand at Baseball, Endorsements, and Acting, Randy Savage also cut a couple of rap albums. He recorded a song titled, "Be a Man", where he took Hulk Hogan to task.

Did you guys know that when Miss Elizabeth passed away, she was Lex Luger's fiance? When the police searched his house after the incident, they found hundreds of bottles of steroids in his possession.

Re: Randy &quot;Macho Man&quot; Savage Passes Away

- Had a real life disagreement with Honky Tonk man, Honky refused to lose to IC title to him. To make up for not getting him the belt, the WWF had Randy win at Wrestlemania IV. DiBiase was supposed to win it, and to make it up to him, they created the million dollar belt

I believe that following Summerslam, the Ultimate Warrior beat the Honky Tonk Man for the Intercontental Belt in 30 seconds. I don't remember Honky Tonk doing much in the WWF after this. Perhaps the disagreement with Savage, along with all the trouble he put McMahon through to rework Wrestlemania IV, ruined Honky Tonk's career.

It seems like yesterday I went to see Randy Savage at the Cow Palace in 1993. He jobbed out to the Giant Gonzalez, who lasted in the WWF for less than 2 years if I recall correctly.

That is the toll steroids and human growth hormones will have on you.
