TMZ brings tragic news concerning one of the most popular professional wrestlers of all time, "Macho Man" Randy Savage.

TMZ spoke with Randy's brother, Lanny Poffo, who tells us the wrestling legend suffered a heart attack while he was behind the wheel around 9:25 AM ... and lost control of his vehicle. Savage was 58.

Savage, whose real name was Randall Mario Poffo, rose to fame in the WWF in the late '80s with his catchphrase, "Oohhhhhh yeaahhhhh!" He was also the official spokesperson for Slim Jim snack foods in the '90s, where he popularized the phrase, "Snap into a Slim Jim!"

Our hearts go out to his family, and especially to his wife Lynn, whom he married just last year.

It's a real shame for all concerned. And hopefully a lesson for the young kids coming up about the dangers of messing with mother nature.

Oooooh yeeeaaaaah,

Possibly a bigger icon of the 80s and 90s than any other rassler, anyone who was arund back then must have gotten a kick out of his wild character.

Though he played the heel so well some folks believed it, it is my understanding that he was a decent man.

I don't watch much wrestling, but I took a shine to Randy because of his style and flamboyancy. He knew how to put on a show and seldom flubbed his lines.

Not a wrestler THE WRESTLER. 20 years from now people will still know who Macho Man and Hulk Hogan are. I don't pay attention to wrestling anymore but if they ever get stars like this I may have to tune in once in a while.

reply
Izzibli... to nonnons... 2011/05/24 19:58:00

I just had NO IDEA who Macho Man was until I saw this question!

nonnons... to Izzibli... 2011/05/25 05:51:13

I'm certain you have no idea about many things that happened before you were born. Watch wrestle manias from the 80's and he will be there. He is all over youtube. If you don't care to check it out that is not my problem now is it?
