What seemed to be a normal day was far from normal. During a boring morning meeting @Damatowilliam came up and showed me his phone and in small caption I read a TMZ report saying Randy Poffo aka randy savage had passed away. I almost collapsed and I'm far from exaggerating. Maybe it was held in emotions from other situations in my life I held back or the fact that my idol had fallen.
Early memories of my childhood actually my only memories were of watching Superstars on Saturday mornings. Wrestlers at this time for me were larger than life Starting off with the immortal Hulk Hogan. Of course I was taking my vitamins and saying my prayers and all of my prayers were for Hogan to beat The Macho Man Randy Savage. I still remember booing my television whenever I would hear the "Pomp and Circumstance" entrance theme, but at this time I had no idea what kind of wrestler he really was. It wasn't until the invention of the Mega powers when I finally gave him a chance, also wrestlemania VI were I watched him go through four wrestlers to finally win the WWF title. By the breakup of the Mega Powers leading into the wrestlemania V I was a full fledges "Macho maniac". As I grew up my love for wrestling would dwindle but not because it was "Fake" but because the WWF had lost most of its major Stars and I'm Sorry Brett the Hitman never did it for me as a main guy. It wasn't until 1998 were I rediscovered my love again and the Madness was still relevant still going against Hogan and the newly formed N.W.O. Eventually he would join but you know he didn't need to be with them it was more forced.
As the wrestlemanias came to DVD I was able to revisit the ones I was too young to watch or unable to watch because PPV was too expensive for my mom to get me. I finally got to the Epic Wrestlemania III and I was looking forward to watching the clash of titans between Hogan and Andre the giant but on the way there I seen the most amazing match ever Macho Man vs. Ricky Steamboat. At the conclusion of this Match I was changed, Not only did I have a new appreciation for wrestling but both of these wrestlers would move to the top of my list. Macho Man was more than a catch phrase his signature shades and bandana his wrestling attire and flying elbow off the top rope were iconic. He lived his life for us to see From battling George the animal Steele over the wonderful Miss Elizabeth to getting married at summerslam. Randy Savage will always live on in my memories and i hope he is happy in the great top rope in the sky.
