With its instant access to legions of readers, Twitter offers mourners an immediate chance to talk about the news of the day. Today, that news is the sad passing of Randy Savage.
The biggest of the big names, of course, is Hulk Hogan, who had an up and down relationship with Savage (Randy Poffo) through the years, both in and out of the ring.
The Hulkster has tweeted numerous times:
“I’m completely devastated, after over 10 years of not talking with Randy, we’ve finally started to talk and communicate. HH”
“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. HH”
“We miss him a lot. I feel horrible about the ten years of having no communication. This was a tough one. HH”
“I just pray that Randy’s happy and in a better place and we miss him. HH”
