“Macho Man” Randy Savage, one of the most famous WWF superstars of all-time, died on Friday at the age of 58, according to TMZ.
TMZ claims to have confirmed with Savage’s brother Lanny that the former WWE and WCW wrestler known as the “Macho Man” died in a car accident after suffering a heart attack around 10:00 AM on Friday.
Savage was best known for his insanely flaired-out clothing and his trademark “OHHHHHHHH YEEEEEEAH!” scream.
He was one of the pioneers of the WWF’s heyday, when “Wrestlemania” was a must-see, and guys like Hulk Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior, etc, ruled the world. He also gained additional notoriety as the main spokesman for Slim Jim, urging the world to snap into the beefy and spicy jerky-based snack.
He also gained later notoriety with the infamous Tumblr site “Where’s Randy Savage?” Of course, nothing will be as epic as Savage’s intro music, a staple for any child of the 80′s/90′s.
RIP, Macho Man. RIP.
