Oh Lord, The Macho Man Randy Savage has died!
He was in a car which his brother was driving when his brother had a heart attack and crashed the car into a tree.
I was and still am a big fan of The Macho Man, he was the reason I started watching wrestling and I began lossing interest when he left. Infact I view the point when he was taken out of WcW for a while (There was a cage match and his leg was supposed to have been broken by a chair attack, I'm guessing his contract was up or he just had to have some kind of opperation, opperation is most likely) as the point when WcW started down it's path to it's ultimate end. I've seen so many wrestling move's, fancy over the top and super dangerous ones but Macho Man's Big Elbow, well there was something magical about it he looked like he was hanging in the air, like time and gravity had stopped working for a short time before he hit his target perfectly. To say I think his Big Elbow is the best wrestling move that there has ever been in an understatement, I've seen other people try to copy it but none of them perform the move as perfectly as him, they don't capture that magic, for them it's a move like any other.
Doesn't really show the true beauty of the move, but I can't find a good video of just the Big Elbow on youtube, I think he refined it more when he was in the nWo on WcW. At least this video had Macho Man doing the Big Elbow on Hogan.
Macho Man was crazy and he's said some of the weirdest stuff I've ever heard, and when he spoke he flexed every muscle in his neck, even a vain bulged on the side of his eye, that ran down his face. I don't think the term there will never be another one like him has ever been more true.
I usually don't care much if at all when I hear that someone famous has died, but with Macho Man it's like a member of the family.
