Macho Man Randy Savage died last week, which is sad. I was as big a wrestling fan as any well-rounded pre-teenage boy should be. One of my favorite things about news stories concerning wrestlers is that different media sources list professional achievements as if they're real. “Three time World Champion,” or “Four time Intercontinental Champion” or some craziness like that. That's like calling Will Smith the Heavyweight Champion of the world because he once portrayed boxer Muhammad Ali. Or calling John Goodman one of the greatest home run hitters of all time.
It's not real! It's as scripted “Days of Our Lives” or “General Hospital.” Macho Man didn't “win” the belt, someone decided he would win the belt. I'm not trying to say these men and women aren't great athletes and entertainers. Just don't try to tell me those belts aren't made of chocolate.
