Randy “Macho Man” Savage — the famous WWF and WCW wrestler known for his antics in the ring, his flashy bandanna and his “Oooooh yeahhhhh” catch phrase — has died in a car accident in Tampa.
Lanny Poffo, the wrestler’s brother, told TMZ that Savage — real name Randy Mario Poffo — suffered a heart attack this morning while driving and subsequently lost control of the vehicle. His car reportedly collided with a tree. Lanny Poffo’s Web site is currently set up as a tribute to the WWF legend. Savage was 58.
In addition to achieving superstar wrestling status, Savage became a cultural figure outside of that world, as the intentionally aggressive spokesman for Slim Jims and an actor who occasionally appeared in movies, most notably the first “Spider-Man” film.
