Former pro-wrestler Macho Man Randy Savage, 58, died on Friday, May 20th, 2011 in a car accident after suffering a heart attack while driving. It may sound a little off, but the incident did occur. TMZ was the first to report.

In the streets of Seminole, Florida Savage’s Jeep jumped a concrete median, veered onto oncoming traffic, and ran into a tree. He died from his injuries at Largo Medical Center.

Coming from TMZ:

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.

WGBL adds: He also played for a year in minor league baseball. His real name was Randy Poffo, a father, and husband to Barbara Poffo who was celebrating their anniversary just recently before the tragic events.

Savage’s wife was a passenger, but survived the accident with minor injuries.

The twitter world responds to the death of Macho Man Randy Savage:

“He had so much life in his eyes & in his spirit, I just pray that he’s happy and in a better place and we miss him,” Hulk Hogan on his Twitter account.

“RIP Randy ‘Macho Man’ Savage – you were one of my childhood inspirations and heros. Strength, love and prayers to the Savage/Poffo family,” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson on Twitter.
