R.I.P. “Macho Man” Randy Savage

Wrestling is a strange beast. I completely thought wrestling as a kid was the end all and that the cast of over-the-top characters were my friends. I would catch the shows every week, the cartoon every weekend and had the oversized Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage dolls. I...
