Used to train at same gym as Macho, even got to train with him, usually legs or arms. As a joke I got him to sign 2 slim Jim cans for my nephew. He was a humble, grateful, and gracious man who genuinely loved and appreciated his fans and most of all, wrestling. RIP Randy Savage

Would be cool to see a movie about him & some other great wrestlers. Could use way more movies like “The Wrestler.” I love that movie. Something about these big tough guys who have been through it all & still keep loving that gives you an appreciation for masculinity. These men literally sacrificed their lives to bring us joy. One of the most underrated & under appreciated professions. Thanks for sharing.

Never missed a single release of a new episode. Credit where Credit is due...that was an awesome episode. Watched it a second time immediately after i just watched the brand new episode. It's going in as a Top 10 favorite, my way. It's definitely going to make for an awesome "season", considering Tegridy Farms just went through their "Season Finale" last week. Love the fact that Matt and Trey are making the show an entire season to make the show carry on from one episode to the next! Looking forward to next Wednesday!

Yes.I just watched a face/swap video with Joe Rogan and his friends faces put over wrestlers faces.Its pretty funny.Damn,Macho Man is popping up everywhere.
I'm 42... I miss 80's wrestling. Macho man Randy Savage was my absolute favorite. They used to be like over the top comic book characters; suspension of disbelief seemed to be a lot easier in that format? Or maybe I was just a kid? There I was, chomping away on nacho cheese doritos (as they hadn't invented cool ranch yet). Watching wrestlemania 2.

Wrestling in the 80s! What a great time. WWF even had a primetime talk show and occasional Saturday Night Main Event. And Roddy Piper and Jesse - fantastic fun. The managers. The hosts - Vince and Mean Gene and so many characters.So glad I experienced it. Hell, I even hung out behind the arena and greeted them when they arrived.

I worked for BB&B in St. Pete in '99 and '00. Randy used to frequent my store but was very reserved. He used to ask for me by name and I would escort him to buy usually bath and bedroom related items. He was soft spoken and a nice guy. He was living by himself nearby and had no idea how to decorate so he was clueless what to buy. Many years earlier I dated a wrestlers daughter and went to several parties. Lot's of roids and blow. I could see the effects it had on Randy. His skin was pot marked badly and he seemed agitated but controlled. His death hit me hard when I learned of it. The life of a professional wrestler is a hard one. Not many come out on the other side. Many die tragically. R.I.P. brother.

Thank you for the insight to the macho Man. Yout personal touch that no one else could ever know about. I believe what you say to be true about the parties with the cocaine and the roifs I'm sure at the time it was all in Vogue. I could see Randy being very reserved and quiet a lot of type A personality people when by themselves are very reserved. They don't become on quote-unquote until the cameras turn on and they going to their personalities and or their character. Randy was bigger than life. Thank you for the insight
One of the truly great icons of the wrestling world! RIP Macho Man. His absence is one of the reasons I don't watch wrestling anymore because his Star was one of the brightest to ever shine in the Ring.
Macho Man Randy Savage is so iconic, and was such a selfless person in the wrestling business. He never complained about putting over young talent, and making the other guy look good. He was also a genuine man in real life and will never be forgotten.
I saw him perform at a house show in Vancouver BC in about 1985 or so. I was a about 8 years old and he was my hero. He put on a hell of a show and put Ms Elizibeth up on his shoulder at the end. I was three rows from the ring. It was the coolest thing I had ever seen until I saw Nirvana and the same venue 9 years later. Rest in Peace Macho.
Back in the early 2000s I worked in a toll booth,one day this guy with the biggest neck I ever seen rolls up on a bike.It suddenly dawned on me that it was him,the MachoMan.He reached me a dollar and I gave him his change.I was seriously awe struck and the only words that I could say were thank you.

High levels of HGH can enlarge organs. However steroids do not enlarge organs. Certain Steroids can raise your bad cholesterol and lowers good cholesterol causing a heart attack many years down the road if left unchecked. According to this video his heart attack wasn’t from blockage though. Steroids didn’t cause it. Possibly HGH contributed but he’d have to be on high levels of HGH for many many years. Definitely possible.

My wife retired from H-D after nearly 40 yrs there. She worked in the HOG division and often times, when celebs who rode Harleys would come to Milwaukee, they'd get bikes to ride, as long as they were licensed riders. They, or their assistants, would call ahead to reserve the bikes and she got to talk to a few. Some were arrogant dickheads but Macho was one of the nice ones. She rememberred that he even called her "sweetheart" and thanked her for being so helpful.

One of the few wrestlers to break out into mainstream recognition. Randy, Andre, The Rock & Cena. Guys who became bigger then wrestling and left their mark on countless performers to this day. Shout out to 'Black Machismo' Jay Lethal for keeping Randy's memory alive with a parody gimmick turned homage that was so good, it became Poffo family approved.
Randy was an amazing talent and very agile. One of the best personalities ever in the biz. Today's talent pale to his ring skills, and persona. RIP.
Randy and Angelo poffo were family friends of mine. RIP Randy.
Macho man one of our favourite wrestler in Malaysia.. Thank you for entertain us 🇲🇾❤️
Hell of a man. Inspiration to us all. I had the privilege of meeting him a few times. Very good man. We salute you Machooo Mannnn Randeeee Savage, Oh Yeah!
Savage was one of the very popular ones in the 80s..Between him and the Ultimate Warrior...Dont forget the Iron Sheik,Hacksaw Jim Duggan,alot more wrestlers Earthquake, Hulk,Jimmy Superfly..and it was called WWF.Not wack WWE. This was the number 1 entertainment in the 80s because it was more believable not today's world.
Well spoken to the Narrator!!!... Quick, and effective... Thank you...

Hogan and Andre were the juggernauts of the 80's, but if we're being honest Savage was probably bigger than Flair and Dusty in the 80's and 90's.... if we're being completely honest.
He never died, he lives in Colorado under the alias Heather Swanson
Like a doctor told my dad when they diagnosed him with an enlarged heart,who can say what size the heart is supposed to be, thesize may be normal for you.He died a week before his 80th birthday.
Randy was the number one guy to follow. Only Sting was worth even counting close to him. RIP Randy!
Great in the ring and awesome at the mic. Macho man was intensity personified. And hysterically funny too. His promos with Mean Gene are legendary.
He will be Missed
Randy Savage was awesome, second to none.
I started watching wrestling when Bearcat Wright, Sweet Daddy Siki, Buddy Rogers, Haystacks Calhoun, and the rest of the 60's wrestlers were on TV. Loved it then, and I still love it now, though I don't watch as much as I used to.
been watching southpark, eh?
I was living in Charlotte NC in the 80s. I would go to the Coliseum to see wrestling then there was a club nearby where all the wrestlers would go to. I met him several times and he was a very nice guy.
His enlarged heart was more than likely caused by years of steroid abuse.

@733Rafael its called cardiomegaly (enlarged heart)which leads to cardiomyopathy(faulty or heart not working properly)listen to ragnar.the heart gets bigger because it has to overwork to supply increased muscle growth with oxygenated blood. As the heart gets bigger the walls of the heart get thinner and eventually you get what ragnar in the comments got(not good)effectively your heart can no longer cope with the work it needs to do and starts failing,everybody that juices bigtime will suffer this(fact) to some degree,its simple really humans aren't designed to have muscles that big,so there are consequences when you try and cheat evolution.peace

I just saw Macho Man's show on A+E yesterday. And he passed away but.. it was memorable. He had a heart attack while driving. Two years ago I had a heart attack while driving. But apparently I assume, I was at a stop sign, then had just put it in gear. So I was only going 1 mile an hour when I hit a jeep at P.G. Ford. All the car salesman ran out, and they broke the window since it was in gear. And the paramedic guys gave me 6 defibrillation shocks. That's more than the Undertaker ever got. My downtime was 30 minutes. Downtime means dead. Then I was in a coma for 10 days. But I woke up in Vancouver General ICU. Which is my favorite city. I wanted to play golf right away. But they wouldn't let me out of the hospital for 2 weeks.
Still cannot believe he is gone. Rest in Life and in Peace in Peace Macho Man, oooooooohh Yeah

He said no one was bothering him and it was cool to see such a celebrity sitting there in such a normal setting. I think this was in 1999 or 2000.
