Many TNA wrestling stars commented today via Twitter about the sudden passing of wrestling legend “Macho Man” Randy Savage:
Hulk Hogan: “I’m completely devastated, after over 10 years of not talking with Randy, we’ve finally started to talk and communicate .. We miss him a lot. I feel horrible about the ten years of having no communication. This was a tough one .. I just pray that Randy’s happy and in a better place and we miss him.”
Rob Van Dam: “Rest in Peace Macho Man Randy Savage.”
Former TNA star Jim Cornette: “Our deepest condolences in losing another legend. R.I.P. Randy.”
Jeff Jarrett: “His madness. Randy is gone, but will never be forgotten. Thoughts and prayers are w the entire Poffo family.”
Mick Foley: “I just heard the sad news about the Macho Man. Randy Savage was one of my favorites performers, and my heart goes out to his loved ones.”
Tommy Dreamer: “Randy Savage was the 1st person I saw piledrive someone thru a table. Thanks 4 all the memories. Hope u walk the aisle w/ Liz & Sherri again”
TNA Knockout Tara: “RIP Randy Savage. A true legend.”
Former TNA star Kevin Nash: “I lost a close friend today. If anybody in heaven is wondering who the cat in the ugly cowboy hat is it’s Randy. Love you Bro. Never another.”
Former TNA star Jay Lethal: “R.I.P. Macho Man Randy Savage. You were amazing… Oohh yea!!!”
TNA Knockout SoCal Val: “Saying a prayer 4 Randy Savage & his loved ones. I had the honor of working for his promotion, he was inspirational 2 us all! What a loss.”
D’Lo Brown: “RIP Randy Savage. You will be missed.”
From the WWF, to WCW, to TNA, The Macho Man has always been the main to entertain. One of the all time greatest performers in professional wrestling. R.I.P. Macho Man, you were taken too soon.
R.I.P GREAT MAN TURE LEGAND.
What can be said? Macho was one of the very greatest of all time and will be missed by anyone who saw him wrestle. Peace and love to his friends and family. RIP.
Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan had two of my favorite runs of their careers vs. Randy Savage. “Great” is often thrown around in the wrestling business but the Macho Man was great.
This is an especially painful passing in my eyes because I don’t think Savage was ever given the final send off that he deserved. He meant a tremendous amount to the sport of professional wrestling and the pastime of sports entertainment. Yet for reasons that we’re not truly privy to he was never inducted into the Hall of Fame when he should have been (in the last few years).
Like William said – the word “great” is often thrown around in professional wrestling, but Savage really was great. I’d also add that we hear the words “legend” and “icon” a lot these days as marketing gimmicks. Well, any fan from the 1980’s or 1990’s hears those words and thinks of a few truly iconic figures – Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Sting… and the “Macho Man” Randy Savage.
I still can’t believe this man is gone, never to come back in existence ever again. He truly was one of the greats. This loss is the equivalent to a Hogan, or a Flair, or a Stone Cold loss (not that the ignorant IWC out there would care if anything happened to Hogan or Flair).
R.i.P Macho Man.
my condolnces on the passing of randy savage
