I really wanted to come back to the blog  with a great piece on the  Macho Man Randy Savage, however no matter  what I write it just doesn't  do him justice. Here is what I can say for  sure, he was a hell of a  worker in the ring or on the mic, as one of  my favorite announcers Bobby  the Brain Heenan  would say he was a lunatic, a man possessed, The most dangerous man in  wrestling, and so  much more. I had the true honor to meet him a few  times when I lived in  Vegas and let me say he was just the coolest guy.  The man truly loved the wrestling world and his fans, he would sign  autographs and tell story after story. It's  like you drawn into his world, his.... Madness. He just had a unique   ability to have great story lines, and did it with all of the greats,  DDP,  Hulk Hogan. Ric Flair, the Ultimate Warrior, The Undertaker, Jake  the  Snake Roberts, Rickey the Dragon Steamboat, The Million Dollar Man, I   mean the list goes on and on. What was so great about him was that even   in the late 80's early 90's  when wrestling was  fake was common  knowledge, he still made you pause  and say whoa that seems real, his  story lines just had a way of taking  on a life of its own. He was also a great announcer, he worked the  broadcast booth the same way he wrestled... intensely and passionately.  Aside from all that, what stands out most for me was his angle  with DDP,  it lasted more than a year and in my mind that is the one every up and  coming super star should watch over and over again, because that is as  good as it gets in the wrestling biz, enjoy eye listeners and Rest In  Peace Macho King
Enjoy eye listeners.

G'day Dave. Great blog. I enjoyed your view of Randy Savage. I looked at all the web sites after you posted that he had died and I got the feeling he was very well liked and good in the ring. Another one of the great wrestlers gone way too soon. Take care. Liz...
