Macho Man Randy Savage Dead at 58

Professional wrestling fans are in shock today.

One of the greatest heroes of the sport has died.

TMZ is reporting that Macho Man Randy Savage was killed in a car accident around 9:30 this morning in Seminole Florida.

FHP says Savage was travelling in his vehicle when he had a heart attack, swerved across the center median, and crashed head on into a tree.

He was pronounced dead at a hospital near Tampa.

Cops say alcohol was not an issue and that Randy’s wife was also in the car and suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital. Both were wearing their seat belts.

Macho Man Randy Savage wrestled for the WWF from 1985-1994 and the WCW from 1994-1999 and was known for his flamboyant costumes and feuds with fellow wrestlers Ric Flair and Jake "The Snake" Roberts.


In real life, Randy was known to be feuding with fellow WWF wrestler Hulk Hogan, and had just recently started speaking to the Hogan whose real name is Terry Bollea.

After learning of his death Hogan tweeted,

"I'm completely devastated, after over 10 years of not talking with Randy, we've finally started to talk and communicate. He had so much life in his eyes & in his spirit, I just pray that he's happy and in a better place and we miss him. We miss him a lot. I feel horrible about the ten years of having no communication. This was a tough one I just pray that Randy's happy and in a better place and we miss him”.

Savage was the celebrity spokesman for Slim Jim snack foods during the 1990’s, and was cast in the 2002 film Spider-Man as the wrestler Bonesaw McGraw.

He also made appearances on several TV shows including The Jeff Foxworthy Show, Nikki, Walker Texas Ranger, Mad About You, and Baywatch.

God speed Macho Man.

Women Suffers From Rare Disorder That Makes Her Eat Sofa Cushions - Video

Okay, here is one we are going to have to file under “weird and bizarre”.

Miss Adele Edwards has a very rare medical condition called Pica Disorder. Believe it or not, it gives you the overwhelming desire to eat things that have no nutritional value.

In the case of Mrs. Edwards, who has five children, it makes her want to eat the inside foam filler of couch cushions. We’re not making this stuff up folks.

Edwards, 31, said,

“In the last year I’ve eaten seven sofas. I unzip the cushions and snack on the foam inside. And once I start I just can’t stop. But now doctors have told me that if I carry on, my addiction will kill me.”

Pica disorder is usually seen in children and pregnant women who lack certain nutrients and basic food elements, causing them to crave non-nutritive substances like chalk, dirt, coins, plastic, paper and even rocks.

Adele has recently been eating pieces of couch cushion fifteen times per day and consumes the equivalent of a throw pillow each week.

Pica is frequently caused by a mineral deficiency in many cases, such as an iron or salt deficiency, which sometimes is a result of celiac disease or other infection.

Sometimes it’s caused by stress, and Adele admits her first time happened during a very emotional period in her life when her parents were on the brink of divorce.

Her gastroenterologist, Dr. Christopher Olenec of the Digestive Health Center in Sarasota, Florida – the Doctor who diagnosed Edwards with Pica – ran tests and determined Adele was lacking iron in her blood.

“The question became, did she have a deficiency in her iron? And was that what was driving her to ingest the seat cushions?"

Miss Edwards’s blood contained half the amount of iron of a normal woman. Dr. Olenec believes he can now develop a simple supplement treatment for Adele that will cure her of her curious affliction.
