Ohhhhh Yeeeeahh! [spoken in a Macho Man voice not Kool Aid dude] Randy Savage is a legend. He was a good guy, a bad guy, it didn’t matter – it never effected his popularity. Especially since he was managed by the hottest female in wrestling (Miss Elizabeth) and married to her in real life. His character was an integral part of 80s and early 90s WWF either doing battle or teaming up with the biggest names in the game. From his raspy and aneurysm friendly dialogue to his flashy attire and concern for UV rays – Macho Man was the man.
Sadly, Macho Man passed away on May 20th, 2011 after suffering a heart-attack while driving. RIP Randall Poffo.

Let’s talk about sex. Specifically some sex that occurred around July 1963. Happy birthday to Cheryl James, aka Salt, who was born on March 28th, 1964 (actually many sites report she was born on the 8th, if so, Happy Belated!) Salt N Pepa is the all time best selling female rap act with six of their singles achieving platinum or gold.

On March 27th, 1989 baseball legend Pete Rose’s gambling activities were exposed by Sports Illustrated. Pete denied the allegations for fifteen years, finally admitting to it in 2004. Despite being a shoe in for the Hall of Fame (current NL all time hit record, among others) his ban from baseball could mean he may never qualify for Cooperstown.
