I hate wrestling, but this man was an icon. He will be surely missed. I'll eat a Slim Jim in his honor. Too soon?

I just posted this thread too.

mods , delete mine please.


RIP Randy

I am a mod, why do you keep asking that when I'm here?

Anyway, I deleted yours plus Duke's. I'M THE BETTER THREAD MAKER!

Whoa. This sucks big time. Randy will definitely be missed. He was a great wrestler. RIP, Macho Man. Ooooh Yeaaaah! My condolences go out to his wife, other family members, and friends.

Man this sucks. I too am not much of a wrestling fan, but I did like Macho Man. His cameo in Spider-man 1 is great!

It is never too soon to honor.

this is shocking and tragic! i couldn't believe it was real when i first read it

Randy Savage is my all time favorite Wrestler and the entire reason I'm a fan. I can't really say much else right now. I'm too angry.

OMG!! Randy Savage is truly one of the greats. One of the best and top all time wrestlers EVER!! Hard to believe he's gone. He was so young! :cry: *eats some slim jim*

He was my favorite. I can't believe this.

If was George Clooney exploded, I wouldn't care.

Angelina Jolie dies? Who cares?

But Macho Man? The guy is a legend. Unbelievable.

Ah, such sad news.

I grew up with the Hogan/Savage partnership, and the subsequent fallout. I remember watching them fight over Miss Elizabeth. Great wrestling memories!

Agreeing with Voltron, he is a legend, and I give my condolences to his family and friends in his passing.

Not much of a wrestling fan either, but he truly was a legend.

Best tweet I saw all day about this was from Paul Scheer:
"If the Rapture doesn't happen tomorrow it's because the Macho Man just gave a beat down to the devil in the afterlife."

I can't believe this!

Macho Man was my all time favorite and was one of the reasons I watched when I was young.

He made wrestling awesome! He also made Slim Jim awesome!

I kept hoping he would return to the ring at some point. Even if only for a small appearance/ part.

Definitely won't be forgotten!

Best Randy Savage moment.

I remember marking out like a kid watching that on TV haha

Yes, Indeed. R.I.P. Macho Man. He was easily one of the greatest and def deserved to be in the Hall of Fame before he passed away. :(

I wonder who will induct him if he makes it in now? Even outside of wrestling, he was one of those kind of guys who could take a tree limb and sell it like it was gold.

He could have 30 Seconds to do a promo and he could do it with more charisma and talent than just about any other wrestler out there.

I'm feeling a little better now, but I can't sleep. Reading the threads. Cheers me up. It also made me smile seeing every single damn video game website covering the news. Seems Macho Man touched pretty much everyone from our generation, wrestling fan of not. He's just one of those personalities that rose above his medium. He was too crazy awesome not to.

BTW, I've missed ya' Jo. :)

So, as me and TMB post old Savage videos to each other on Facebook, all I can think about are the memories he left behind.

The epic match he had with Steamboat at WrestleMania III.

The year-long teamup AND feud with Hogan as the awesome Mega Powers.

The Career Ending Match he had with Ultimate Warrior, resulting in the greatest and most emotional face turn in WWF history, due to the joyful reunion with Miss Elizabeth (RIP)

So many more to talk about, but I'll just leave it at that. I'm gonna miss the f*ck out of him. His voice was literally well known. His skill was unmatched. He didn't ooze charisma. He invented it. He truly was one of a kind, not just as a wrestler, but as a person.

RIP, Mach.

That right there was probably my single favorite wrestling memory as a kid.

I actually saw that for the first time last year. Damn near cried.

That was just a great moment.

I assume Raw will have a great tribute lines up...(especially with 3 days to do it)....will definatley have to see raw this week...and maybe TNA Impact as well... Hogan said they started communicating again recently

Another wrestler dead. I've grown used to it but Savage was a legend so it's somewhat of a bigger deal.

I don't understand anyone losing sleep or being angry over this. Calm down. I've met the guy and actually thought about him before yesterday and I'm not that torn up.

Krow, stuff it. WWE.com is loaded with Savage content and I would bet on something for tomorrow's ppv.

A 2 hour tribute show is out of the question anyway but an 'in memory of' graphic and a 3 or 4 minute video package are probably done and ready for air at OTL and Raw.

Whole shows dedicated to a wrestler should only be for active members of the roster.

i can see WWE doing something on Raw and tommorrow night. and perhaps even TNA mentioning it as well. like Stryker said i could see an 'in memory of' graphic and a 3 or 4 minute video package or both.

Yeah, I'm sure they'll have an "In Memory Of" graphic at the beginning of RAW. As for a tribute, it would be nice to see, though I don't know if they will. Only way to find out is to watch.

One of my favorite feuds featuring "Macho Man" was the feud he had with "Diamond" Dallas Page. I felt the feud was very good. In fact, I read some of DDP's book again and saw a little bit more about how that angle was generated. It was just a good feud. Also liked when Savage joined the NWO and when Hogan turned on him as well. He'll be dearly missed.

makes me wanna watch the Macho Man DVD

I know :( He was one of my favorite wrestlers as a kid! He will definitely be missed :(

The WWE pay per view has opened with a tribute to macho man.

He may not have been active, but the man was a legend. He deserves more then just 5 minutes.

Man, he passed away on Friday, but it still hurts today. Very few celebrity deaths have that effect on me. Other celebrity deaths that devastated me include Jim Varney, Dale Earnhardt, and Adam Petty.

That's what the website is there for. They can't just derail an entire show for a guy that wasn't a factor at all. They've dedicated the entire PPV to him. There's going to be a tribute package on monday. That's more than others got.

An entire show isn't gonna make him any less dead.

I was gonna make a dark joke about that, but I friggin' know better.

True, but using that logic, should Michael Jackson have gotten so much attention post mortum? I'm not calling for a whole show, but 5 minutes seems like a little too little

(And yes I know there's a large difference between Randy Savage and MJ, but still...)

There's no logic in what you just said.

WWE only has Monday to put out a RAW that continues the storyline, keeps ratings and works angles in for PPV's properly. They're not going to toss an entire episode of a show, when they only get 4 per month, to tribute someone who wasn't involved with the company, let alone the roster, for over a decade.

MJ got so much sh*t because he got special presentations all over the place, it's not like the only place they could have possibly put out a tribute to him was a weekly show that an entire business depended on week after week. Sure, 5 minutes is probably too little time to spend on a passed legend and wrestling is so f*cking sh*tty now that whatever they'd show of Macho Man would be better than 3/4 of the trash they'd be showing anyways, but that's not the way it works.

Besides, I'm sure the WWE will capitalize on his death and release a special DVD and new merchandise as quickly as possible.

I'm sure they'll have a video package for him and one of those "In Loving Memory" graphics. Too bad I may not be able to watch RAW due to severe weather we may be getting this afternoon and tonight. Oh, well, I'll try and catch it. Plus, they may show the same thing on SD on Friday.
