Legendary wrestler Randy Savage, known to fans as "Macho Man," died in a car accident in Tampa, Fla., on Friday, according to TMZ. He was 58.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Savage was driving his Jeep Wrangler when he veered across a concrete median, through oncoming traffic, and "collided head-on with a tree." He was transported to Largo Medical Center, where he died. Savage's wife of one year, Lynn, was a passenger but sustained only minor injuries, according to TMZ.

He never was my favorite wrestler--I'll be a Ric Flair fan first and foremost until the day I die--but I have to admit I always liked Randy Savage better than I did Hulk Hogan in their heyday in the WWF.

We will snap into a Slim Jim in your honor tonight, Macho Man. Oooooh yeeeeeeeah.

I saw Ric Flair at Sea World in Florida a long time ago. He was watching the killer whale show like a regular Joe.

Enjoyed his “work” back in the ‘80s. RIP.

I saw Ric Flair at a wrestling exhibition that took place after a sunday afternoon Cleveland Indians baseball game in the 80’s. That was neat.

Car accident, is there a more senseless way to go? I’m surprised more famous people aren’t killed in such a manner.

RIP.

I thought they said he suffered a heart attack while driving, and that provoked the accident.

Ah. Tragic. Probably the worst time to a HA or stroke.
