Hulk Hogan is "completely devastated" about the sudden death of Randy ‘Macho Man' Savage.
Tributes have been pouring in from the great and good of the wrestling world after the 58-year-old WWF legend was killed earlier today when he suffered a heart attack at the wheel of his car in Tampa, Florida.
Hulk – who faced Randy in the ring on a number of occasions throughout their respective careers – revealed the pair had only recently patched up their differences after not speaking for a decade.
Writing on his twitter page, he said: "I'm completely devastated, after over 10 years of not talking with Randy, we've finally started to talk and communicate.
"He had so much life in his eyes & in his spirit, I just pray that he's happy and in a better place and we miss him.
"We miss him a lot. I feel horrible about the ten years of having no communication. This was a tough one.
"I just pray that Randy's happy and in a better place and we miss him. HH. (sic)"
Meanwhile, fellow WWF star Dwayne ‘The Rock' Johnson – admitted Randy was one of his "childhood inspirations and heroes".
He tweeted: "RIP Randy "Macho Man" Savage - you were one of my childhood inspirations and heros. Strength, love and prayers to the Savage/Poffo family. (sic)"
Randy is survived by his second wife Lynn Payne - with whom he recently celebrated his first wedding anniversary – who was a passenger in the vehicle he was driving, but escaped from the collision with "minor injuries".
