Macho Man Randy Savage Dies In Car Accident

35 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

Macho Man Randy Savage -- one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time -- died today in a car accident in Tampa, Florida ... TMZ has learned.

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.

Macho Man began wrestling in the WWF in 1985 and became a superstar with his trademark catchphrase "Ooooooh Yeaahhhhh."

UPDATE: Florida Highway Patrol tells TMZ ... Savage was driving his 2009 Jeep Wrangler when he veered across a concrete median ... through oncoming traffic ... and "collided head-on with a tree."

Savage was transported to Largo Medical center, where he died from his injuries.

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.

According to officials, Randy and Lynn were both wearing their seatbelts at the time of the accident.

Cops say alcohol was NOT a factor. 

An investigation into the accident is underway.

I too was a huge fan of Macho Man Randy Savage.  My favorite match with him was his match against Hogan in the late 80s and the Jake the Snake Roberts fued, the one where his snake bit Macho Man.

RIP MACHO MAN

Aw, that sucks bigtime.

I remember Mach Man from the '80s wrestling circuit and all those Slim Jim commercials.

At least his wife is going to be okay.

Some of them were straight?  I thought they were all gay. 


Rest In Peace, Macho Man, you will be missed.

Nope. Victor Willis (the cop) was one of the guys who married Phylicia Ayres-Allen.

Monday Night RAW last night did a small tribute to Randy Savage and also CM Punk was paying homage to his idol by donning his pink underwear and it said CM Punk on the back of it.
