It is with regret that today I heard about the passing of a true legend of Wrestling, as the title suggests, the Macho Man has died at the age of 58.
My main memories of this great wrestler stem from seeing him as the Macho King and the feud he had with the Ultimate Warrior which was punctuated with one of the greatest ever matches at Wrestlemania VII where Randy lost his career match to the Warrior.
After this he became a commentator alongside Vince McMahon for a few months before feuding with Jake the Snake Robert after he was tied to the ring ropes and had a Cobra set on him. At this point he was reinstated as a wrestler and finished off his feud with Jake before launching an assault on Ric Flair at Wrestlemania VIII where he regained the World Championship.
I'm not going to go into the stuff with Miss Elizabeth as it's just not necessary but what I will say is that despite several years in WCW and a brief stint in TNA he never really recaptured his former glory but regardless he will remain a great figure and will be sorely missed by his fans of all generations.
Rest In Peace Randall.
