Macho Man Randy Savage

One of the most famous wrestlers of all time, Macho Man Randy Savage, died today in a car accident in Tampa, Florida.

Randy’s brother, Lanny Poffo, says that the wrestling legend suffered a heart attack while he was behind the wheel around 9:25 this morning, and lost control of the vehicle. Florida Highway Patrol reports that Savage was driving his 2009 Jeep Wrangler when he veered across a concrete median, through oncoming traffic, and “collided head-on with a tree.”

Savage was transported to Largo Medical Center, where he died from his injuries.

Savage’s wife of one year, Lynn, was a passenger in the vehicle during the collision, but survived with “minor injuries.” She was transported to a different local hospital where she was treated.

Savage was 58.

Macho Man began his pro-wrestling career in 1973, and joined the WWF in 1985. He became a superstar with his trademark catchphrase, “Ooooooh Yeaaaaah.” He was a seven-time world champion during his 9 year career with the WWF. In 1994, he left for WCW, where he wrestled until 1999. After a short stint with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, Savage retired in 2005.
