It wasn't the wreck that killed him, it was the heart attack. There was actually very little damage done to his Jeep.

Never got into fake wrestling, but he was pretty entertaining.

Yeah the fights were staged and no one was meant to get hurt but trust me, theres nothing fake about the pain from what they do or their grueling schedules. And unlike actors, at least back then, in public they ALWAYS had to be in character. (kayfabe).

"I remember seeing Randy, and Liz back in the day, many times, live at the Providence Civic Center(Providence, Rhode Island... where I grew up). Before the King of the Ring tournament was a big PPV event, before PPV wrestling events were commonplace, it was held there every year. I saw Randy win that. I was also there at Wrestlemania 8 in Indianapolis(where I now live) when Randy wrestled the Nature Boy Ric Flair for the WWF title, and beat THE man to become THE man. The greatest match I've ever seen and people often argue this as one of the greatest matches of all time, was Wrestlemania 3 when Randy Savage wrestled Ricky Steamboat for the Intercontinental title. Randy lost that day but, he was forever established as one of the true greats in the biz. Thank you Randy for entertaining us over the years. We loved you and at times, loved to hate you. You were amongst the best in your profession. This picture above with Liz on your shoulder is how I will always remember you. Thank you for the memories."
Man I remember that match, and this was a great tribute/write up for Macho Man.

He was a very memorable part of mine as well. He was one of the few that made wrestling entertaining for me.

OH YEAHHHHHH!!

Rest in peace, Randy. The late Elizabeth was just all class as well.

The OP talks about Lanny Poffo, Randy's brother - Lanny was The Genius, and a fine aerial wrestler in his own right.
