The Macho Man Randy Savage is dead Friday night following a car crash in Tampa Florida.
Savage, real name Randy Poffo, died when he lost control of his Jeep Wrangler, went over a raised concrete median, crossed the opposite side of the road, and struck a tree head-on.
The Florida Highway Patrol says the pro wrestling legend suffered a "medical event" believed to be a heart attack that lead to the crash.
His wife was with him in the car. She suffered only minor injuries.
The "Macho Man" was 58 years old.
