One of my most vivid memories of wrestling early in my life was being scared to death of him (and fascinated by the character). RIP.
Is it sad that I'm glad he died past the age of 65, if only so that another wrestler wouldn't be added to the "Dead before 65" list that's being drug out on all the shows?

I'm with you. I never saw him in WWF, but I remember seeing him in Texas I think and I was just frightened of him and his "horn." Of course later on when he became a babyface, I became a huge fan.

I'd mark if he dropped the weight, went back to his star tights with "macho man" on the back, donned the old sunglasses and threw on his old sequined robes with "macho man" enblazened on them. That was macho man. Oh well.
