Macho Man Randy Savage Dies In Car Accident
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." Savage was so popular, he became the spokesperson for Slim Jim in the mid '90s ... and became virtually synonymous with the brand.

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.

there goes another piece of my childhood.
Posted By: Son of Mxy Re: macho man: dead - 2011-05-20 8:29 PM
I read it in the papers, I saw it on TV.
I guess there'll be one empty seat,
When I wrestle at Wimblelee.
I used to tear my shirt,
But now you've torn my hearts.
I knew you were a Hulkamaniac,
Right from the very start (Right from the start)
Chorus:
You were my friend. (You were my friend)
I'll see you again. (This is not the end)
When the Hulkster comes to Heaven (Heaven, heaven, heaven)
We'll tag up again. (Again, again)
The world just lost another Hulkamaniac (A friend to the end, I'll see you again)
I wish Hulk's love could bring you back again.
You were my friend (You were my friend)
And I'll see you again (I will see you again)
When I climb back in the ring, I know we'll win this fight.
I wish you were here at ring side, to cheer me on tonight.
The spotlight now grows dim, and now it's not on me.
The prayers we've said together are still our guarantee.
Chorus
You were my friend (You, were, my, friend)
I'll see you again.
(The world just lost, the world just lost, my friend, he's my friend)
You were my friend (You..... were)
I'll see you again (I'll seeeeee you)
When the Hulkster comes to heaven (Heaven, heaven)
We'll tag up again (Again)
The world just lost (Just lost) another Hulkamaniac.
I wish Hulk's love could bring you back again (Bring you back, bring you back again)
The world just lost (Just lost) another Hulkamaniac.
I with Hulk's love (His love) could bring you back again (His love)
(You were my friend)

I also liked him as Wrasslor in Justice Friends. Easily one of the most recognizable voices in the world.
