Randy Savage died! :(

[NightWolve]

fell from a 50-foot fall from ceiling to ring.

Ah yes, that'd be Owen Hart (who turned bad guy against his bro, Bret "The Hitman" Hart), so I do still remember a thing or two about WWF WWE (wouldn't wanna piss off the World Wildlife Fund and cause another lawsuit). It was a phase I grew out of, but it was entertaining as a kid. As an aside, I'd highly recommend that Mickey Rourke movie, "The Wrestler" - DAMN GOOD drama and it was interesting how it was shot in documentary-style which made me think it was going to be shitty at first, but 20-30 minutes into it, I thought it was perfect; it gave it a certain edge! Definitely worth adding to your BluRay collection.

Hehe, that was my reaction when this thread came up in the Recent Threads listing: "Wait, didn't he die a while back ??"

But anyway, that Mr. Warrior's Tribute video was interesting. He was more articulate than I would've expected, too. Looks like they were very good buds in real life, he was having to hold back his emotions.

I agree, teh Warrior is definitely well spoken. A few years ago I watched his long interview with ringside collectibles on youtube. As someone who was really into wrestling as a kid in the late 80s and early 90s and a huge fan of the Warrior it was mind blowing to hear him give a detailed history of his wrestling career. He had a lot to say about a lot of people, much of it unflattering, but nothing negative to say about Randy Savage.

An interesting thing about Warrior is that he has butted heads with the WWE over the issue of the property rights of the wrestling talent to own the characters that they create and/or portray.

I dont think the interview is still on youtube in its entirity. I believe its the one discussed here: http://twoshedsreview.blogspot.com/2008/02/ultimate-warrior-shoot-interview-dvd.html?m=1

I know who it was. And I won't believe it until there's enough evidence to prove it. But since there never will be such evidence, it's an untrustworthy assumption that I won't put any belief into.
