Macho Man Randy Savage dead after car accident

[QUOTE="spazzx625"][QUOTE="rawsavon"] No doubt all the steroid talk will come up (seeing as it was a heart attack)LostProphetFLCL

Considering I have heard of people in their 20's dropping dead of heart failure even when in incredible shape, I wouldn't necessarily say steroids is a must here.

He could have just had a bad hand genetics wise, or he also could have abused other drugs in his past besides steroids.

I'm pretty certain he did steroids at least a time or two during his career. Just about all of those guys from his day did (hell most still do). I believe he's done ample amounts of cocaine as well (and again, quite a lot of them did/do). Those guys tend to have really heart unfriendly diets, lots of meat and eggs and such (lot of of protein, also a lot of cholesterol). Combine all that with the physical stress wrestling puts on the body and it's really not surprising to hear of these guys dropping off in their 40s or 50s.

Macho was always one of my favorites growing up, though I liked him better when he played the heel.

I liked him the same as most people that grew up on WWF, but I would be SHOCKED if it was not roid related

That plus all the years taking bumps in wrestling takes a huge toll on your body.

One of the best in the business, and can shoot a damn good promo better then 95% of the wrestlers out there.ScF2007

He could, just don't expect them to make any sense.

Him in Spiderman 1 (as on old man)

My point is that steroids isn't the only possibility here.

Anyone who knows anything about wrestling knows that steroids are a plague on the industry.

At the same time, I'll wait for confirmation on a potential cause before jumping the gun here.

He was old enough to have a very roids un-related heart attack here, especially as someone who had put his body through as much as a wrestler does.

That's sad to hear. He was one of my favorites; dude was pretty entertaining on the mic.

RIP Randy Savage

Looks like WWE already acknowleged his death.

When your in the wwe early death is a huge thing among the wrestlers. Sad but very true, steroids and beating up your body the way they do is very lingering. Mic foley a former wrestler can't even go on his knees to play with his kids any more. I wish they'd try to make it a bit safer, since these guys do shorten there life span from wrestling.

This seals it.

The world really is coming to an end tomorrow.

There's already a video on Youtube for him, wonder how many more will pop up over the next few days.

Nooo :(

RIP Randy...

There's not really much they can do to make it safer without altering the very nature of what it is they do.

I'll slam into a Slim Jim in his honor. Ooooh Yeah!

For macho man and the fans

Just heard about this and I'm genuinely saddened. I grew up with the Macho Man on TV in the 80's and 90's and I've always been a big wrestling fan.

Old man? Spidey 1 was a decade ago or so. He wasn't even 50 than. Late 48, 49 or so. Now go look at some recent pictures of Stallone, who is ripped and in his 60's.

I'm sure Randy used roids back in the WWF days but probably not recently. And there are far older wrestler who took roids back then and are still alive today (Flair, Hogan)

I will guarantee you that it did contribute to his death (one has to look no further than all the wrestlers that have died so young...it is also happening in other sports where roids have been prevalent)

Just b/c person 'a' uses a drug and outlives person 'b' that also did that drug does not mean that the drug did not contribute to person b's death

FYI...he was like 50 (ora year away)when that movie was made. That look he has going on there is not natural for a 50 year old
