“Decisions, decisions!” he wrote. “Thinking about it!!!!!!!”

Give ‘em hell in Heaven, Macho Man

As I may have said before I grew up in a family that loved wrestling. We would go down the Boutwell Auditorium to watch The Armstrong’s take on The Stud’s Stable. Back then it was all about the territories. At a risk of aging myself I would proceed by saying that…..then came the 80′s and WWF. My very first non-Continental Championship Wrestling memories happened on the night of November 22, 1986. Don’t quote me but I think it was an episode of Saturday Nights Main Events. I remember the colors on the show to be so vibrant, nothing like the dull coloring of the rest of the shows on tv. The match that stands out that night just happen to be between two guys I’d never seen before. Those two men just happened to use that moment to create a moment that would last in my mind forever. Not since I watched the Dirty White Boy hang Tom Pritchard by the neck with a rope had I seen something as barbarian as the show these two men created.

Normally the ringside bell is used to remind the grapplers to start and stop their match but on this night “Macho Man” Randy Savage gave the bell a different purpose. I think every fan has a match tucked away into the corners of our minds of our most unforgettable moments and this is one of mine. Throughout the years Randy Savage would continue to be consistent and give us the madness we had come to expect from him. He had a style that was flamboyant yet never left a doubt in our minds that he was all man. He was a glory hound who wouldn’t be outshined even by his very classy, reserved wife. He was the quintessencial villain left you wondering, to this day, where the character ended and the man began. We despised the way he treated Miss Elizabeth but loved him when he came to her defense. And COME ON anyone who loves a good character simply had to love it when he ditched the goody-goody image of the Mega Powers and put a spotlight stealing Hogan in his place. I mean, what kinda man hoists another mans girl onto his shoulders?

Just recently, we heard that the reason Savage never returned to WWE was because he gave Vince 5 across the lip in a bar one night. I love the idea of this as it stands true to who we understood him to be. No matter how it came to be that we haven’t seen him in a ring for several years througout the years one thing remained true; he was who he said he was. If he said ”I’ll kick your ass” he did it. Whether he was the “Macho Man” or the “Macho King” or just sitting at the table being one of the best wrestler color commentators to date he left no doubt that there was someone who was not to be ignored in the room. Pomp and Circumstance will never be remembered as the song I marched to at my 8th grade graduation but the song that meant “Macho Man” was coming.

The news of his death was shocking to all of us. For years he’s remained out of the spotlight as we longed for his return. I find comfort in the thought that he stepped away from the spotlight and into a life where he found a new love with his wife Lynne. Rumor has it that WWE has attempted to induct Savage into the Hall of Fame for quite some time now but he refused the request suggesting that his father, Angelo Poffo, be inducted first. Within the next few years I think it would be very fitting to have them both finally inducted as they have done a great service to the wrestling business. Although, I am saddened by his untimely death I can’t help but want to be a fly on the wall in a room with Savage, Miss. Elizabeth and Sherri Martel.

See you in that main event in the sky Randy Poffo. We still love you down here.

BRUINS are our Heroes !!

After a long fought battle against the Vancouver Canucks, The Boston Bruins have prevailed and managed to bring the much craved STANLEY CUP back home to Boston.
Congratulations to the fearless fighters !!!!

Randy Savage's Cause of Death Announced, Comments from His Brother

from: RingSide News

- BayNews9.com reports that Randy Savage's brother Lanny Poffo told them that The Macho Man died from a condition known as ventricular fibrillation (VF), which is a severely abnormal heart rhythm that can lead to heart attacks or fainting.

Poffo said: "What it means to me is, it was a beautiful way to die. It's quick, painless."

Poffo also praised Savage's widow Lynn: "Randy's foot was still on the accelerator. She reached over and steered the Jeep Wrangler into a tree, saving the life of a motorcyclist and possibly a bus. You know, there's no telling what can happen when you're going the wrong way."
