Macho Man Randy Savage

My brother Sika and I were very sad to hear the news this morning that our longtime friend Randy Poffo a.k.a. Macho Man Randy Savage, passed away. Our hearts go out to his family and friends, as well as the wrestling community. We sincerely pray that his wife gets through this tragedy the best way that she can.

We knew Randy and his family for many, many years, and one of his very first matches--if not his very first-- in Detroit, Michigan was in a tag team against my brother Sika and me. I remember Randy was fresh out of school, was a good baseball player, but decided to follow in his father's footsteps and become a wrestler.

I enjoyed being in the WWE with him at the same time in the early 1990s, we shared so many good memories. He was one of the biggest and hottest stars the WWE ever produced. Rest in peace, my friend. I know that you are in good company in that great big wrestling ring in the sky. May your journey to Heaven be a peaceful one, and know that your legacy will live on forever.

Luna Vachon

It was a very sad moment in my family this morning when I received news that we lost Luna Vachon, who I referred to as "My Angel". I remember when she was just in a young girl at 13, traveling with her family. She was good friends with my kids, they all grew up on the road together. We shared so many good times, and I was so proud of her and her career and accomplishments in this business. We remained close for over three decades, and she was very important in my life as well as in my family's life. She always referred to me as "Papa Samoa", and I was proud to call her my "daughter". Whenever she had problems or would get in trouble, she would always call me to alert me before it hit the Internet. One of the times that I can remember with a smile is when she beat up the tour leader in the Bahamas, and at 2:30 a.m. my phone rang and the first thing she said was "I'm sorry Papa, but...I did something you're not going to like." When I asked what she did, she replied "I beat somebody up. Well I AM part Samoan!" and laughed.

I'm one of the very few people who she listened to, which is why she called me when she'd get in trouble. Although she went through a hard life, she was always able to pull herself together. When things started to fall apart, she would always have me to call on.

My love and prayers go out to Luna's mother and the entire Vachon family, her sons, the wrestling world, and everyone who knew and loved Luna. I will personally miss her, and am so sad that she has left us so soon. But like all the others, I know she has a place up in Heaven.

Have a safe trip, my daughter...
