Miss Elizabeth died in 2003 of a drug overdose. That article makes it sound like she was in the car with her ex husband.
The article says that she died in 2003 and that his current wife named Barbara was with him.
no it doesnt... his current wife was with him. The article later on talks about his relationship with Miss Elizabeth who was shacking it up with Lex Luger at the time she od’d.
The Macho Man played minor league baseball for the Cardinals organization in the early 70s.
Apparently he was quite a personality at that time too. He was a catcher at one point and he used to like to talk to the batters while they were in the box with “colorful” language.
The report said a woman in the vehicle, identified as Barbara Lynn Poffo, suffered minor injuries. A statement from Stamford, Conn.-based World Wrestling Entertainment said the passenger was the wrestler's wife.

“the young woman named Miss Elizabeth who often accompanied him, died in a car crash Friday in Florida.”
Going by your quote above, it suggested some confusion. Maybe something got mixed up in the cut and paste.
58 is too young to go.
He was the wrestler who got beat up in the ring by Spiderman.

I remember him from the glory days of the WWF.
Rowdy Roddy Piper, Andre the Giant, George the Animal Steele.
