Rest in peace, Randy. I have a TON of fond memories of you in the 80s and 90s, from when me and my father would watch wrestling together. It was one of the few bonding activities I had with my father before dementia overcame him and he lost so much of himself before he died. I greatly treasure those times, and Randy's crazy promos, outlandish ring antics and irepressable performances are one of the main reasons why.
A true pioneer. Randy was never the greatest mat technician, although he DID have one of the three best WM matches of all time, but he was a damn good worker who knew how to promote his character AND the business. At least before he fell apart, which I think was around the time the nWo was peaking.
I wonder what that douchebag Hogan will say about this.

It's a damn shame. Macho Man is one my favorite wrestlers back in the day. My dad actually named me after that man. I will snap a Slim Jim in his honor

Fuck, what a drag.
Some of my favorite wrestlers were Mr. Perfect, Ted DiBiase, Macho Man, and the only "recent" wrestler I really liked was Chris Benoit.
Kinda fucked up how most of them are dead now. =(
And Wes is right...wrestling was pretty magical back then.
It had all the feuds, immaturity and roughhousing we as kids enjoyed on the playground but the way it was acted out by grown men was just fucking rad. That's what it was like back then: a clubhouse for kids, full of eccentric personalities and hilarious racial stereotypes, and jacked up dudes with golden mullets who were probably more an influence on Americas kids than their own fathers were.
Macho man was a huge part of all that and he will be missed. RIP.

It was the sheer lunacy, the campiness of it all. WWE is just about "attitude" and being tough and edgy. WWF in the 90s was just a three ring circus. Everyone was dressed like the fresh prince and acted like him if he smoked a mountain of meth. Maybe it was the magic of being young, but I remember wrestling being different then too. Maybe it wasn't, but I guess I fondly remember my youth and the WWF

Maybe this a sign of the coming rapture.
jk.
That's pretty sad.
He was a great personality.
Too bad the WWE had their head up their behinds
and just started putting him in the games.
He will be missed.
RIP big guy.

At least he and Hogan were speaking again. And it seemed that the WWE was recognizing his existence and contributions again. Hopefully he will be inducted into the Hall of Fame posthumously.
