It's showtime!
I'm completely devastated by this. Randy Savage has always been one of my all time favorite wrestlers. He was excellent in the ring and excellent on the mic and was a childhood hero of mine. This is a sad day, as the wrestling world has lost one of the all time greats. Randy "Macho Man" Savage will always be a true wrestling icon and legend. Rest In Peace Brother!

Well, WWE know has a reason to induct him, well, they do, I have plenty more.
He is the WWE Legend. The voice, catchphrase, personality. His alliances with Miss Elizabeth and Hulk Hogan. His epic, countless feuds.
RIP Randy Savage (1952-2010) RIP
You will be missed. I'm crying now

R.I.P. Macho Man.........lol i use to love when he use to wrestle in the last of his WCW days & somebody out of the crowd would run into the ring & he would be the living shit out of them. I don't know if it was scripted or not but i use to get a hell of a laugh out of seeing that.

You've got to be kidding me?!?
This just shows that every man is mortal. I never thought some of my favorite strong wrestling icons would die. They are human.
He was a great entertainer, and will truly be missed by wrestling fans everywhere.

Truely a very sad day for the wrestling business.. First off, thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.. Its a true shame that he didn't get one last apperence on TV and a induction to the Hall of Fame while still alive..
Favorite moment has to be him and Elizabeth getting back together and getting married..
Favorite Match, Wrestlemania 3 with him and steamboat. A classic for sure.
Loved the mega powers tag team.. Will never forget the match at summer slam 88 with him and hogan vs million dollar man and andre the giant, mainly because of miss elizabeth taking off her yellow skirt to destract andre and ted, destracted me for sure
RIP Macho Man Randy Savage.. You were truley one of the greats..

Wow I am still in total shock what a big loss in the wrestling world Randy Savage was one of my all time favorites Heel or Face, He could make the crowd love him or just down right hate him for his antics. My all time favorite memory with Randy has to be Summer Slam 1991 when him and Miss Elizabeth got married at the PPV and how Randy was so nerves and when the preacher asked him do you take this women to be your wedded wife and he paused and gave his now famous '' OHHH YEAHHH'' catchphrase what a moment I am chocking up right now as we speak Randy Savage will be truly missed prayers go out to his new wife Lynn and the enter Poffo family Rest In Peace Randy you will be surely missed down here on earth.

What an unfortunate day for everone in the wrestling business. I feel for his family(most definately including his wife) and good friends that have to deal with this. He truly was one of the greatest ever and could have a good match with a broom in his prime. From his Classic Matches against Warrior and Steamboat, to his amazing fueds with the likes of Hulk Hogan to hundreds apon hundreds of different fueds throughout his times in both WWF & WCW. Even when he had his short stint in TNA he showed that he could still be at the top of his game at any given time...
RIP Randy "Macho Man" Savage. You will truly be missed by all of your fans and friends in the wresting business.
OHHH YEAHHH!!!!!

RIP Macho I only signed onto WrestleZone for a brief second to see the latest news...and come to find this Macho.....we will miss you!
Far too young and far too soon. Our deepest condolences to your family in this hard time. Any loss is hard, but a loss the likes of the Macho Man won't be easy.
At least now we know that when the Thunder is in the sky you're dropping the flying elbow drop on Curt Henning, and when the lightening bolts shoot across the sky he's hitting the Henning plex. I'd love to watch that match up there! Save us all a seat Macho! We love you and we'll miss you!

I am trying to figure out why this one is hitting me harder than earlier tragic losses in the wrestling world. I felt bad when hearing about all of them...guys I liked, guys I didn't enjoy so much, even guys I never saw wrestle. But this one really bums me out. Maybe because of how great he was, maybe because he seemed to get out before it was too late, maybe a little of many factors.
As I'm reading these posts (amazed by how many people came on here to break the news, as if we wouldn't have found out), I see the Hall of Fame seems to be the first thought on many people's brains. How people react to death is not my point. Personally, I think of people and loved ones first. But, I do not judge how people react to tragedy. However, as for the HOF... More so than in sports, I think being inducted/not inducted into the WWE HOF really doesn't define a wrestler/entertainer's career. I don't mean to bash the HOF--Lord knows there are way too many anti-Koko posts out there--but it is flawed to say the least. My point is, Randy Savage had one of the greatest careers in wrestling history. The level of which can be argued, but the fact can not. Whether he was a first-ballot inductee, eventually got in, or never got in---he was one of the best! The night he was inducted-- The compliments, the appreciation, the thanks, the chills from the crowd's response--that would have been very real and a moment he deserved. Now that he is gone, him being added to a list of names may make people feel better (Heck, I want him in too); but, to have a posthumous induction be the first thought that enters your mind... I'm sorry, but who cares?? This was a man..a person. He deserved to have a night in his honor and that opportunity is gone. He may be inducted--I hope so--but it is not and will never be the most important thing about his tragic passing.
Get some perspective, please. Save the "Match Made in Heaven" and other corny plays on words for another time.

This is very sad news, one of the best ever. He transcended the sport and it's sad that he died so young.
Rest In Peace Macho Man Randy Savage.
I don't really feel like saying much more than that but since this is a thread to remember him I guess I should. My memories of Randy as well as being a fan of him start with Wrestlemania 3. I was a wrestling fan already but had never watched much WWF. The few times I tuned in were squash matches with jobbers and midcarders, boring stuff. My uncle was a HUGE WWF fan though, and had a Wrestlemania party. I was somewhat bored until Savage/Steamboat. Those two made me interested in and a fan of the WWF product, Hogan that night solidified it.
Loved his feud with Hogan and his work with Warrior. Truly great feuds. I absolutely loved that I got to see my three favorites all feud with one another AND form awesome tag teams. Moving ahead I was still a bigger NWA/WCW fan though and marked out for an entire month when he joined the WCW. My most cherished Savage memories are from that era. Living in the midwest we got a TON of WCW events in the 90's, usually at least twice per year and without fail, Savage would be on the card. Alot of the guys would phone in their matches so to speak but Savage always delivered and stole the show, ESPECIALLY when they'd put him with Flair. Those two spent 45+ minutes putting on GREAT matches during house shows. I appreciated him a bit more than the rest for doing that. My other memory from that era was Savages fan friendliness, it was normal to see Randy at these events popping his head out during filler matches and signing autographs and he would normally stay for sometimes hours after events signing merchandise.
My most favorite memory? Again at one of those house shows, I was still a kid at the time and was a somewhat little guy back then as I didn't get my growth spurt until I was 16. Anyways I got blown off a few times by a few guys when they would do their slapping hands with the crowd at ringside, arms were too short so the taller kids got to slap hands. Well he missed me when he came out and I musta looked unhappy because after the match he walked over to me, gave me a high 5 and turned my ballcap around sideways. No big deal as an adult but as a kid I was ecstatic and wore that same hat in the same position he put it at. Of course this kid HAD to let EVERYONE know THE Macho Man gave him a high 5 and gave him a hard time.
Wow that all was lengthy. Thank you Randy Savage for all the memories, for busting your ass to entertain wrestling fans worldwide and for making at least one kid the happiest kid in the world. I'll never, ever forget you. Ohhhhhh yeahhhhh.

This is a sad day. One of the greatest of all time. Macho Man was one of my all time favorites growing up watching as a kid. I am glad TNA and WWE are paying tribute to Savage. WWE is even making a video tribute. I hope Savage leads the HOF class of 2012 next year. I mean now there is no reason why he shouldn't lead the class. I just wish we could of seen him return to wrestling one last time to say goodbye. It doesn't matter if it was TNA or WWE, it would have been great to see him on television one last time addressing his fans. R.I.P Macho Man Randy Savage. There will never be another one like him.
This is sad and crazy on so many levels, I can't believe its true.
It seemed like it might be nearing a time when he'd make a comeback of sorts, unfortunately he was cut off, and hes pretty much the one legendary guy we haven't really seen on tv in like 10 years.
RIP Macho Man, one of my all time favorites.

Wrestlemania 4 was my one of my first experiences as a fan of pro wrestling, so obviously Savage had a huge impact on my childhood, considering I'm still a fan of the business over 20 years after I saw him win the WWF Championship and lift the beautiful Miss Elizabeth over his shoulders.
Luckily I got to see Savage perform live a few times throughout the nineties. The man always brought his A-Game to every event. He was someone every pro wrestler should inspire to be in the ring. There are rare "perfect" wrestlers in pro wrestling, but he sure as shit was one of them. The man could do anything in that ring. And outside the ring there are only a handful who were more charismatic and as good as he was on the microphone.
RIP Randy Savage. One of the greatest to ever lace them up.

It's strange that Savage is rarely mentioned when people make comparisons about wrestlers from different eras.
But not strange at all in all honesty because Savage was unique as a performer, a wrestler, a commentator and a man; you just can't compare him to others because he was in a category and a world all his own, and that is why he was loved and why he is missed.
RIP Randy - you did so much for wrestling and did what so few performers do, you transcended the sport. Whenever anyone hears Land of Hope and Glory, or "Pomp and Circumstance", they will think of a great man who entertained millions and left us all too soon. Thank you Randall Mario Poffo, thank you.

Truly sad news, to say the least. I was a big Macho Man fan when I learned about wrestling more, seeing as I wasn't really alive and didn't follow wrestling during his time on top. But, after learning about his career I quickly became a fan of his character. I loved everything about the over the top outfits to the way he talked. He was one of the biggest gimmicks ever and it was wonderful to watch. I was hoping he would make one more appearance in the WWE, hopefully at the Hall of Fame, but unfortunately he was needed elsewhere. I like to think he is in heaven with Elizabeth now, snacking on some slim jims and wrestling Mr. Perfect.
Rest in Peace Macho Man, you'll always be a champion in my heart.

I got into wrestling after Wrestlemania 6, and immediately became a Macho Man Randy Savage fan. I loved how over the top he was, but also how much skill he had inside the ring. He was always someone who could talk the talk, and walk the walk.
I'm gutted about this today - my wife showed me the news on MSN and I just couldn't help crying, and I'm a 35 year old man. I don't care though - we lost another great today and I am devastated.
Thankyou Randy for the memories, and may you truly Rest in Peace.

We lost a great one today. As far as the HOF game goes. F the HOF & F Vince. Macho Man is beyond the HOF which is a joke to begin with. Don't put him now WWE it's too late. There are many not as worthy that have gone in before the Macho Man. For what, to be in there with Drew Carey?
Don't really have much to say kind of in shock to come back from a night out and hear about the passing of a legend. RIP Macho Man. Hopefully this will push Vince towards putting him in the HOF where he belongs. Obviously not the way I would have wanted to be.
