This Day in Wrestling History

RIP Macho Man
Gone but never forgotten
Snap into a Slim Jim Oh Yeah!!!!!
This day 2 years ago it was one of the most sad days in modern wrestling because one of the most respected wrestlers of all time. Randy Poffo or that's the name he started under the name he is better known as is Macho Man Randy Savage. This man became one of the most well liked and well respected wrestlers of all time by most people. Randy began his career in 1973 as a part time wrestler in Georgia like a lot of others in this era he only wrestled in the offseason as he played baseball also. Randy didn't start getting noticed until he moved to CWA or the Memphis territory and it was long before he began to feud with Jerry Lawler.
Randy then became a big star after being brought into the WWF by Vince Jr in 1985 and it wasn't long before he won gold as he won the IC title in early 1986. Then after nearly 10 years in the WWE he left for WCW in 1994 which most people still don't know why he left. Randy then stayed with WCW until 2000. Randy's last appearance in the business was a TNA show back in 2005. Even though Randy was never a top star he still remembered as one of the best worker in the and one of the most charismatic wrestlers of his era and in many respects of all time.

Below are a list of achievements Randy has mounted during his career:

2 time WWE Champion
1 time WWE Intercontinental Champion
4 times WCW World Champion
1995 WCW World War 3 Winner
1987 WWE King of the Ring Champion

Below is a great match from Randy's career and a tribute:

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win.

However, I still fear that WWE isn't ready to give the divas a good amount of time for their matches just yet. I have a funny feeling Nikki will win with help from Brie and this may set up a tag team divas match fo...

As of this writing there are rumors going through WWE that Zack Ryder could be on his way out of WWE not only with other people but he could be asking for his release in the very near future. As he has hinted on more then one occasion that he is frustrated with how WWE has been using him. At first it boiled over back in the Summer with the mid card guys but now since nothing has changed Ryder and others have adopted the "I don't give a s***" attitude when it comes to if they get fired or not. Once again I don't know everyone all I know is that it is a lot of the mid-card & divas who feel they are not being valued as good as they should be. Ryder has said it on his Youtube show Z True Long Island Story that WWE dropped the ball with him and that 2012 sucked for him. Which I agree with both statements I mean it was the perfect opportunity for WWE to push someone new but they instead botched it and made him lose all of his momentum. For one reason he wasn't push ...
