That's too bad. Back when I watched wrestling, he was one of my favourites.
I recall seeing him and Ricky Steamboat in the steel cage live in Winnipeg all those years ago. Even though Savage was the "bad guy" and Steamboat was typically a crowd favourite, the whole audience in Winnipeg was cheering for Savage over Steamboat. It was pretty funny I thought (of course I was like 10 years old).

My Uncle will be most upset by this news. He used to idolized the Macho Man. He used to do his Macho Man impersonation for me and my cousins when we were kids, always made us laugh.

Well, a heart attack at 58 isn't unheard of even for people who never took steroids. He was a big guy and that is a lot of work for a human heart to pump bood through that all day.

Its sad, the guy just got married last year. He looked nothing like the Macho Man with the bad comb over hair that we remember from his WWE and WCW days.
But the guy was a steroid junkie so this is no surprise.
RIP
