Wednesday Link-Off: From The Top Rope

It’s time for another edition of the Wednesday links. Unusually, these are coming together at the last second. I need to start planning better. Maybe Rosie Huntington-Whiteley would appreciate that.

ESPN’s web great Bill Simmons remembers the great “Macho Man” Randy Savage. (ESPN)

Here’s Peter Cushing… Or at least a silicone bust of Peter Cushing circa 1977 as Grand Moff Tarkin. The resemblance is ridiculous. (Muddy Colors)

Here’s a Jose Bautista tribute video. It’s only really good when he’s hitting dingers.

Some dude recreated the sound of Robert Kubica’s Renault around Monaco using his guitar. I wish I could play guitar like that.
