Met him a few times.

Good guy, at least to me.

Alcohol NOT a factor. Good news only for those left behind. Darn..

We used to watch him wrestle in Johnson City, TN in the early '80s. One of my best friends used to work out with him.

He's in the great ring in the sky snapping into a Slim Jim as we speak.

RIP

Quite a personality

From shots of accident site, it looks like he died from something other than hitting a tree... heart attack? Stroke?

I always thought Miss Elizabeth (Elizabeth Hulette) was hot. She had a short life as well. RIP Macho Man!

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.

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.
Sad

I thought Miss Elizabeth was hot as well.

He seemed like a crazy guy with his way of talking and his expressions. I was always humored by him.
