Coming from a person who had never seen Star Wars or heard the song Bohemian Rhapsody, this is not surprising.
Clip #1 was performance art. Scary Sherri Martel was a very interesting time capsule on WWE's female product: veteran wrestler, sufficient play-actor. And there's some kind of sexuality there, but it's not overt or conventional enough to be broadly appealing. Even though the Divas were a fairly logical creative and commercial decision, the ambiguity and intensity here is something.
Very sad news, RIP. The curse claims another. http://prowrestling.about.com/od/whatsrealwhatsfake/a/wrestlersdeaths.htm http://www.deadwrestlers.net/
So it was a car accident?I heard it was a heart attack. That makes more sense. Is it possible he had a heart attack, and made a car accident? Technically the cause of death would be a car accident. EDIT: On May 20, 2011, Savage died after an automobile accident about 10 a.m. while driving on a street in Seminole, Florida, a town in the Pinellas County side of the Tampa Bay area.[114] It is suspected he may have had a heart attack, which led to his losing control of the vehicle and crashing into a tree. His wife was also in the automobile; however, she received only minor injuries. This report was later confirmed by Savage's brother, Lanny Poffo.[5][115] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Savage
