One Last "Oh Yeah!"

I just saw Pirates of The Caribbean 4 and I will be posting a blog about that but this blog is a more important matter so to speak.  Earlier today the news broke that wrestling great "Macho Man" Randy Savage passed away after having a heart attack behind the wheel of his car and crashed into a tree in Florida this morning. He was 58 years old. For those of you who don't know who Randy Savage was then you should invest in an abode above the rock you've been living under. Wrestling fan or not everyone has heard of The Macho Man. His legacy is great one of the best WWF/E Intercontinental champions of all time, one of the top schtick men in the business, for those of you who don't know what that means it means he was amazing with a microphone. Savage captivated all those who watched had the pleasure to be entertained by him. Unfortunately I am a bit too young to have seen him in his prime, on the other hand I have seen many of his matches and promos as I am a huge wrestling supporter and fan. I know a lot about the sport because, well, I grew up loving what these men did every day. Sure, you can bring up steroids and how it's all fake and all that what-have-you but the truth of the matter is... Wrestling is much more intense and real then most people realize. Is it true that it is scripted? Yes. Is it true that they don't fight as hard as they would if they "actually" wanted to hurt the other competitor? Yes. Is it true that no one gets injured? That it's easy? That any one can do it? No. To become a professional wrestler at the peak of it's popularity is not an easy feat. These men are very athletic, they train all year long and above all they never stop entertaining the fans. I use the word entertainer because that is what they are just as Actors and Professional sports players, wrestlers are entertainers, and in the existence of the business of sports entertainment there has not been many people who could entertain the way The Macho Man Randy Savage entertained. Today we lost a great performer and a man who truly loved his fans, someone who truly loved to entertain.

Rest In Peace Mach Man Randy Savage, you will be missed.
