RIP - Randy "Macho Man" Savage

Randy "Macho Man" Savage, the flamboyant Slim Jim-chomping, sunglasses-sporting wrestler who grappled with the likes of Hulk Hogan, Jesse Venture, Andre the Giant and Rowdy Roddy Piper while collecting scores of WWE championships during his '80s heyday, died Friday in a car accident. He was 58.

"collecting scores of WWE championships"

Incidentally how do they decide who is going to win the championships - is it the guy's who's agent lobbies the hardest? the most popular with the audience at the moment? Do some guys specifically aim from the start to be the bad guys etc.. or the comedy entries... presumably there must be a fair few who all want to be the 'champion' so presumably it must turn into a popularity contest?

I was a WCW fan as kid so used to watch him in that.

It seems a lot of wrestlers die early from heart attacks, which is a shame, especially as someone who as a kid was a big fan of wrestling. But it’s obvious why this seems to be the case.
