Macho Man" Randy Savage, a professional wrestler who became a fan favorite thanks to his outlandish outfits and trademark catchphrase, died Friday in a car wreck, according to TMZ.

The 58-year-old Savage reportedly suffered a heart attack while driving his 2009 Jeep Wrangler in Tampa, Fla., and careened across lanes of oncoming traffic before colliding head-on with a tree. He died later at a local hospital.

Savage's wife Lynn, who was riding in the passenger seat, escaped with only minor injuries. Both passengers were wearing seatbelts and the police do not believe alcohol was a factor.

The World Wrestling Federation favorite from Ohio burst onto the scene in 1985 and quickly drew attention with his flamboyant outfits and "ooh yeah!" catchphrase. His marriage to Elizabeth Hulette, Ms. Elizabeth to fans, was one of the first high-profile wrestler/valet relationships. They divorced in 1992. Savage remarried last year.

He won two WWF championships in his career. His match against Ricky Steamboat in 1987's Wrestlemania III is considered one of the best WWF bouts ever. Savage won the title late that year, setting the stage for memorable battles with Hulk Hogan, who would eventually dethrone him as champion.

Savage also appeared in memorable ads for Slim Jim and played a wrestler in the 2002 hit film "Spider-Man."

This is all over the net today. I'm not a big wrestling fan.....but this is sad.

yea, back in the 80's, steroids was very commonly used by most of the wrestlers...even tho it won't say anything about steroids, i'm sure it was a factor.

How so, man?

I've watched wresting since i was a kid, i've seen the changes that steroids can do to them, mentally and physically... read what jessie ventura, bret hart, stone cold steve austin all have said on the subject. look at the way most of the have died, the ultimate warrior, steve gurreruo, chris benoit...there was no rule and laws regulating steroids back then, up until 95 or so and it's use was rampant. since you don't watch wrestling, maybe you should read up on it. it is very easily googled...

"Boooonesaw is readeeee"

RIP Randy "Macho Man bonesaw" Savage

ohhhhhhh yyyyeeeeaaaaaa...

^this, watched him since I was a kid!

Now I need a slim jim to honor him

Lets not assume that steroids had anything to do with him getting in a car accident.

Poor Randy Savage. He was awesome and so much better than Ric Flair.

i have to disagree with the ric flair part, ric flair was a 16 time wolrd champ, and one of my favs... but it was a heart attack that lead to his crash and death...the steroids part is an educated guess on my part...

I agree Chaz! I don't care how many times Flair was champ...I loved Randy Savage

awwww...lots of people just lost a childhood hero. (okay, adulthood too firefly, hehe)

Probably was.
