RANDY SAVAGE APPEARS ON SOUTH PARK, SORT OF

This week's episode of Comedy Central's South Park skewered transgender athletes, using a character obviously based on late WWE Hall of Famer Randy "Macho Man" Savage as the crux of the story.

In the episode, Heather Swanson, a character who looks and sounds like Savage, competes in a Strongwoman competition as a transgender athlete, noting that she started identifying as female "two weeks ago" in order to be able to compete.   The character becomes the foil for South Park's P.C. Principal character as it is revealed Swanson has a history with Principal's wife, Strong Woman.  To explain more would spoil the plot of the episode and all the twisted satire that South Park is known for.

The official press release for the episode reads:
