    He just looks "different" 'cause you're used to seeing him with sunglasses on and hair dyed dark brown. that's still the same Randy Savage.

    Sucks that he died though.

    It's amazing how many wrestlers died at such young ages. Kind of proof all those steroids and other drugs definitely have an effect on your body. Look through this slideshow and see how young they died, most of heart failure:

    The Hawk and Junkyard Dog, say it isn't so. I knew about Andre the Giant, but not the others. RIP Macho Man.

    Actually, for a man who probably abused his body with all kinds of performance enhancing drugs he looked pretty good; as jstas points out above, dye that hair and beard and he'd look as good as most of you. lol

    I've known people a lot younger than I who were grey in their late 20s yet still look pretty youthful. And what about Anderson Cooper, guys?

    RIP Randy!

    Got out my DVD of Saturday Night's Main Event to watch as a tribute. I had to watch Macho Madness meet Hulkamania one more time. Yes, I know its corny, cliche, and not for real but loved it anyway. RIP Randy. Cheers. :cool:

    I stopped at Wawa this morning for a bagel Sizzli with pepperoni and provolone (awesomest sammich they have!) and a cup of coffee. Saw Slim Jims on the counter and bought one. Opened it up right there, held it up and said "This is for you, Randy!" and took a big old bite. This guy with long hair, a denim vest on and a doo-rag had a tear in his eye and said "Right on, man!"

    Surreal.

    R.I.P. Randy, class act even in your troubled times.

    This bummed me out.

    I think out of all the crazy characters in the WWF, Macho Man was my favorite. He was genuinely captivating and had a great sense of humor. I didn't fully appreciate it until seeing his spot on Arsenio promoting WrestleMania V. Totally hilarious.

    And I did anyone know that Leaping Lanny Poffo was his brother???? That was almost as big a shock as finding out Ms. Elizabeth died of an overdose at LEX LUGER's house!!

    RIP Macho Man.
