Man I loved rasslin back in the day and hate to hear this. He was one of my favorites.
Seems that a bunch of wrestlers from this time period are passing away. I was reading about Macho Man and found this link profiling several who have passed on.

So sad...........never to hear those words again:
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH......YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH......YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Very sad news.
A local sports program had him on a while back and he did a drop for the program. Both of the host dropped the OHOO YEAHHH then Randy did it. they run it all the time. It was funny because one of the host had a kinda high voice.
I guess his wife was with him, but only had minor injuries.

One of the most dissappointing events in my life was when Macho Man went from being a heel to pairing up with Hogan.
Poor Elizabeth. There's no one to protect her from George "The Animal" Steele

It sure is. Lots of household names there in the wrestling circles.

One of my daughters may or may not have been named after Elizabeth. (Depends on who asks.)
Sadly...
quote:Elizabeth Ann Hulette began her career in 1985 as the beautiful manager of "Macho Man" Randy Savage. She died of a drug overdose on May 1, 2003, at the home of Lex Luger. She was 42.
On a baseball note: Macho Man's career statistics
On a personal note: In 1989 I was moving from Boston to Atlanta. After an interview in Atlanta I was flying home to Boston making connections in Philadelphia on USAir. I sat at the gate to wait out my layover when I recognized this really large Chinese guy. Racking my brain trying to figure out who this guy was I started recognizing other REALLY LARGE guys. I was booked on a flight with WWF wrestlers!
Among others, Hulk Hogan & Randy Savage are on the flight. Plane was an MD-80. Ailine seats the wrestlers to distribute weight evenly through the plane. Seats go AB aisle DEF. They seat passengers as: civilian, wrestler, aisle, wrestler, civilian, wrestler. I sat next to Bad News Brown who proudly wore his Tulane Liberty Bowl watch. Really nice guy. Hacksaw Jim Duggan was in the row in front of me hitting on a girl with one of those newfangled laptop computers. He picked it up & yelled back to Hogan "I gotta get one of these!".
Hulk & Savage are hidden somewhere while we wait to board. They are avoiding fans. Just as the flight begins boarding Savage appears & he is decked out in black Spandex pants, skin tight tie dye T-shirt with matching head bandanna, those ridiculous sun glasses, and knee high white cowboy boots with silver tips. Styling! To top it off, he is p****d off with people who recognize him and ask for his autograph. Hilarious!
The beautiful Elizabeth was also on this flight. Let me simply say that she didn't come NEAR to looking as nice as the picture above. A little too much time in the sun or in tanning beds perhaps?
