The world of wrestling/sports entertainment has been struck a mighty blow today. Today, we have to mourn the sudden and abrupt passage of Randy "Macho Man" Savage...
Born Randy Poffo, the man lived a long and incredible life. He went from a local wrestler to a major star to one of the benchmarks of the industry. His famous match at Wrestlemania III is often considered the greatest match of all-time!
You see, him and his brother Lanny played Little League Baseball in Illinois with my father. Their father- Angelo Poffo of WWA/NWA fame- was often at the games. It's hard to miss the 300-lb guy in tight spandex sitting in the crowd, as my dad says.
He's up in Heaven now, reunited with Miss Elizabeth. Keep dropping those elbows, Randy.

*On a personal note, his death happened near where I live (it was in Tampa and I live in St. Petersburg) & he actually has an incidental connection to me.*You see, him and his brother Lanny played Little League Baseball in Illinois with my father.
