RIP Macho Man Randy Savage

[karamazov80]

I agree. The body isn't made to constantly go like that, and that probably plays some role in the death toll. In most sports, not only do you have off-seasons, but your career usually doesn't last very long. Seems like most reasonably successful wrestlers have careers that last many years--either on TV with the big boys or wrestling in indie shows at Bingo halls. And they don't take time off of course. Compound this with the drug use and lack of stability (always on the road traveling, etc.), and I'm sure that wears folks down quickly.

The Rock did a smart thing stepping away when he did.

Not only the wear on the body, but I'm sure the pain and stress leads to drug use too.

What was he saying in the last interview here? He's almost as bad as The Warrior! But one can't denied the presence of the Macho Man. Macho got some staying power and I like him more than the Hogan fella.

Told ya!

Very well-written, and the writer does an excellent job of taking you behind certain things that you may/may not have realized as a kid watching it as it originally aired in the 80's.

R.I.P. Randy
