Went to the same Gold's Gym as him in the 90s in Vegas. Dude was huge. Really nice to everybody though.

Yes his first wife who appeared with him in the wresting business. She died in 2003 - OD I believe but may be wrong. They had already been seperated for a while and she was living with another wrestler (Lex Luger) at the time of her death.

I'm sure S2M will be in here before too long to explain some sort of government conspiracy regarding these deaths. :lol:

My nephew who is an avid wrestling fan from back in the day texted me today to tell me this. I said the same thing.....he's now with Elizabeth, I guess. :lol:

Those were the days when wrestling was fun. Hulk, Roddy Piper, and all the classics! I met Macho Man and Elizabeth coming out of the elevator once at a match at Arco Arena in Sacramento.

Randy was always my favorite. He used to come work out at Gold's back in the early and mid 90's when he was with the (then) WWF. Hell of a guy - actually pretty humble, although he was a boob man. The most striking thing upon first meeting him was hearing that he talked the same way in real life as he did in the ring - too funny.

Very sad day. RIP, Randy. Long live Macho Man and The Genius.

Sad to hear that. :( I live in Canada's wrestling mecca. So many of them die young.........ones that I grew up watching at Stampede Wrestling with friends, got their start here in Calgary, trained out of Stu Hart's dungeon. Brian Pillman, Owen Hart, Davey Boy Smith (British Bulldog), Chris Benoit, etc.............

Macho was from the era when wrestling was worth watching- Hogan, Flair, Sting, etc... now not so much. RIP Macho Man... DIG IT, OHHH YEEAAHH!
