Dwayne “The Rock’ Johnson took to his Twitter page today to pay his respect to his “childhood inspiration” Macho Man Randy Savage.

Johnson Tweeted:

“RIP Randy “Macho Man” Savage – you were one of my childhood inspirations and heros. Strength, love and prayers to the Savage/Poffo family.”

Also chiming in on Twitter was WWE star Kevin Nash who posted:

“I lost a close friend today. If anybody in heaven is wondering who the cat in the ugly cowboy hat is it’s Randy. Love you Bro. Never another.”

While Mick Foley (Mankind) told TMZ:

“Though I only met Randy Savage a handful of times, he was one of my all-time favorite performers … I loved his style, in the ring and on the microphone.”

As a child I use to countdown the days until Macho Man, The Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan would take to the ring, my three all-time favorites, while I haven’t watched the WWE in years it’s still a sad day for one of my childhood heroes.

It’s official: Dwayne Johnson has retired his nickname, The Rock, and has asked us to do the same. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, he spoke about his comedy career and his new image to goes along with it:

I’m aware of everything that comes with that nickname, and I just think there’s a lot more you can do without it. But I wanted it to happen naturally, from ‘The Rock’ to Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to ‘Dwayne Johnson’ he said in EW.

I’m going to miss calling someone “The Rock.” Can you just give up a nickname like that? A name change always has the potential of going over as well as Katie Holmes’ change to “Kate” in 2006 (horribly), but then again, if anyone besides Tom Cruise is orchestrating it, there’s a much better chance of success.
