RIP Macho Man, you were a great wrestling personality.
Ah man, that sucks!
RIP
The Boston Herald reports he had a Heart Attack.
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.
