Randy "Macho Man" Savage should have gone out some other way. That's your first thought.
Your second is that a man's death does not always fit his life, or at least the scripted version of his life. And so "Macho Man" died, not from one last nuclear folding chair to the back of the head by the dastardly Rowdy Roddy Piper (who, in this version, would have naturally hit him when he wasn't looking), but in a car crash after apparently suffering a heart attack while behind the wheel.
He was 58 years old. And is it disrespectful that the immediate flash I had when I read the news was "Macho Man" bellowing, "Snap into a Slim Jim!"?
Like his death, that doesn't fit, either, somehow. Or maybe it does.
