RIP Macho Man Randy Savage

The Macho Man Randy Savage, one of wrestling all-time greats and a hero of mine growing up, died today. He was just 58 years old.

The finest wrasslin' match ever:

Sorry mate, 'proper' wrestling, was Saturday afternoons, from places like Smethwick townhall. The great Kent Walton commentating on Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks and Kendo Nagasaki. The front row full of little old women, wearing their 'Sunday' best hats, with their handbags on their laps.

Something the American pantomime version could never get close to

Oiled up muscular men in nothing but a pair of tight fitting briefs...grappling, fondling and sweating on each other under hot lights....

Never saw the appeal myself.

You've clearly not lived Ronny
