It's definitely a good time to remember Randy Savage in his prime.
Immediately upon news of his death today, WWE put together a reel of Macho Man highlights, from some of the crushing blows he inflicted in (and alongside) the ring to Savage preening like a peacock in a series of flamboyant costumes—each one shinier than the last.

"Our sincerest condolences go out to his family and friends," the WWE said in a statement. "We wish a speedy recovery to his wife, Lynn. Poffo will be greatly missed by WWE and his fans."
Born Randall Poffo, Savage was with his wife when he suffered a heart attack behind the wheel and lost control of the vehicle. He later died of his injuries at the hospital.
Fellow star wrestlers like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, John Cena and former Savage tag team partner Hulk Hogan expressed their condolences earlier today, and the list of mourners continues to lengthen.
"Randy Savage was a true influence and inspiration to me and taught me some very important lessons, in and out of the ring. Rest in peace Mach," Chris Jericho tweeted. "As classic as Savage-Steamboat WM3 is, I think Warrior at WM7 is the best example of how incredible Randy was. Best Warrior match ever."
"The Macho Man Randy Savage was one of my heroes when I was childhood and one of the best of all time. Rest in peace," added Naofumi Yamamoto, aka WWE wrestler Yoshi Tatsu.
"I'm bowing out of twitter 2day 2 reflect on how lucky I am 2 still have all my brothers and my Parents and MY Family. Much Respect Macho!," wrote longtime WWE ref Scott Armstrong.
Three-time WWE Women's champ Beth Phoenix tweeted, "No words for this very sad day. Condolences to Randy Savage's family, friends and millions of fans."
"I am profoundly saddened by the passing of one of the all-time greats, Macho Man Randy Savage. My condolences go out to the Poffo family," wrote WWE Hall of Famer and ring announcer Howard Finkel.
