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 10 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."

I agree. He'll surely be inducted now, but it won't be the same without him actually there.

Razzamajazz 05-20-2011 12:41 PM

Schlomey 05-20-2011 12:42 PM

Damn. RIP Macho Man :(

Incredibly sad that it might take something like this for it to happen but I really hope he gets his, rightfully earned, spot in the Hall of Fame. One of the best workers in the 80s who gave the Warrior his best match and a number of great matches with Flair and Steamboat.

Macho Man, I salute you.

Malfeitor 05-20-2011 12:51 PM

Literally just heard this on the radio and came to the forums to see if anybody posted a thread about this. I literally said "What the fuck?"

Damn.

RIP Macho Man.

There has to be. It wasn't your 'typical wrestler death' that they might want to avoid and given his history with the company etc.

Ermaximus 05-20-2011 01:01 PM

Apparently he had a heart attack while driving. :/

Cool King 05-20-2011 01:02 PM

This is terrible news. It's unbelievable.

I'm sure they'll be some form of tribute to him on Sunday or Monday though.

R.I.P Macho Man. :'(

Evil Vito 05-20-2011 01:02 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Oh my god :( fucking hell. RIP Macho Man

Gonna be thinking about Macho Man on Sunday when I graduate and hear Pomp and Circumstance</font>

Hanso Amore 05-20-2011 01:04 PM

He went the same way as Rick Martin

:(

Fuck. He is hands down my favorite of all time.

BizarroKing 05-20-2011 01:06 PM

I sure hope WWE can put their differences aside with him now and recognize him as a member of the HOF for 2012

Xero 05-20-2011 01:06 PM

Ugh saw this on twitter. Fucking sucks. Such a shame he was so close to some kind of a return.

Rip Macho. :(

Hanso Amore 05-20-2011 01:06 PM

Fuck. I was dreaming of him appearing at a Raw, and just the massive Pop he would get.

Fucking A, I will miss the Madness.

My nickname growing up was Mach - cause of him.

Lock Jaw 05-20-2011 01:07 PM

This is terrible. Just terrible.

RIP

Was just beginning to get a whole new appreciation for him as well, having been watching more old clips of him and such.

Schlomey 05-20-2011 01:09 PM
