I haven't been a fan of wrestling in over 20 years, but I still remember going to see wrestling events at nassau coliseum with my dad when I was small. Good memories. Out of them all, Macho Man was my favorite.

Today was a sad day for those of us who grew up in that generation.

His epic 'battles' with George Steele (and the stealing of Elizabeth) to the threatening of Gene Okerland were priceless.

RIP Randy.

Downward spiral
I live about 2 miles from his home and less than 1/2 mile from accident. I did some computer work for Randy and Lynn, very nice people, always treated me kindly. I also did some computer work for his parents(before his father Angelo passed away) and his brother Lanny, who wreslted as well(wwf for awhile as the Genius). The father had the sit-up world record at one time, 6,033 sit-ups in 4hrs 10 min. That's nuts. Anyway I saw the "belt" he received for that hanging on the wall in thier townhome not long before he passed away. Last I saw Randy was during the voice work for the children's movie "Bolt". We'll miss you Macho Man, R.I.P.

While professional wrestling is a train I never hopped on for sure, Savage was a ridiculously lovable, absurd stage presence, and I remember at least 5 to 10 cartoon characters which were directly based on him. Like WRESTLOR, from Dexter's Lab.

His brother was also known as Leaping Lanny Poffo (before his Genius days). But anyway, the Macho Man has been dead for years. Obama is doing this for political purposes.
