Macho Man Randy Savage Dies In Car Accident

32 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

Macho Man Randy Savage -- one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time -- died today in a car accident in Tampa, Florida ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ spoke with Randy's brother, Lanny Poffo, who tells us the wrestling legend suffered a heart attack while he was behind the wheel around 9:25 AM ... and lost control of his vehicle.

Earlier this month, Savage celebrated his 1-year anniversary with his new wife Lynn.

Savage was 58.

Macho Man began wrestling in the WWF in 1985 and became a superstar with his trademark catchphrase "Ooooooh Yeaahhhhh."

UPDATE: Florida Highway Patrol tells TMZ ... Savage was driving his 2009 Jeep Wrangler when he veered across a concrete median ... through oncoming traffic ... and "collided head-on with a tree."

Savage was transported to Largo Medical center, where he died from his injuries.

Savage's wife was a passenger in the vehicle during the collision -- but survived with "minor injuries." She was transported to a different local hospital where she was treated.

According to officials, Randy and Lynn were both wearing their seatbelts at the time of the accident.

Cops say alcohol was NOT a factor.

An investigation into the accident is underway.

KEEP REFRESHING FOR NEW DETAILS.

Miss Elizabeth died of a drug overdose at a Lex Luger party in the '90s?!

Ghost-Dog · May 20, 2011

Yep, Elizabeth died quite awhile ago. Sad.

Too young. Take care of yourselves people.

Ghost-Dog · May 20, 2011

I wonder if it was related to years of steroid abuse?

It was a car accident you illiterate bastards

Anyway, R.I.P. to one of my favorite characters from growing up.

If there were an afterlife, I'd like to picture Savage and Mr. Rogers kicking back and enjoying a well earned rest.

I also added his theme music to the first post. .

Some reports are that he had a heart attack and lost consciousness, causing him to crash.

Better check yo self, Bobak... he suffered a heart attack while behind the wheel.

Steroids put a strain on your heart... he was only 58...

EDIT: Again, GD beats me. :crying:

The title on the front page read: "Macho Man" Randy Savage is"...and I had a feeling the next word was going to be "dead". But I didn't realize he was that young. He seemed a lot older to me.

ON BALANCE OFF BALANCE DOESNT MATTER IM BETTER THAN YOU ARE OH YEA

Randy Savage is easily my favorite wrestler of all time, his promo work is unmatched, and he was damn good in the ring too.

I was hoping Vince would forgive him at some point and induct him to the hall of fame along with him possibly being an on air character again as an announcer or something. It kinda seemed like it was heading that way, with him being in that recent videogame and having a new action figure.

I wonder if Vince will allow a tribute for him either Sunday or Monday.

RIP "Macho Man" Randy Savage.

I can't find the entire promo anymore.

Undeniably one of the most important characters in pro wrestling history.

He was relevant at a time when wrestling wasn't trying to be all about deeply troubled looking hardasses.

Hot Chocolate · May 20, 2011

Easily my fav wrestler for as said already the man's promos were things of beauty, I can't remember how many of me and my friends later referred to ourselves as the cream of the crop

One of my fav promos

And because I was shocked he was in the movie when I first saw it

"Macho Man" Randy Savage is dead.
