FinalChapter

Kinda sounds like he had heart attack and had a stent put in. He’s had some minor heart issues in the past.

He was active on AEW, he had left WWE when he passed away. I can’t believe this was his last on screen appearance.

Dennis Condrey of the Midnight Express was honored on AEW Collision this week, making a pretty rare public appearance and even spoke on the mic without the use of a voicebox (Condrey survived a battle with throat cancer about 5 years ago). He obviously sounded very rough and looked his age, but not on death’s door just yet.

Even in the best case scenario where the find the submersible intact, there’s no precedent for pulling a ship up from a depth of this level and the time it would take to find one would likely exhaust their remaining air supply.

I think we are out of Bigs but still have a few Lils running around.

I’ve seen way more obscure musicians than Teresa Taylor get qualifying obits, how was this even a question? The Butthole Surfers had a hit song ffs that I still hear played today ffs.

RIP to a genuine hero. Glad he left this world in peace.

Hart clearly has a hairpiece and spraytan, possibly dentures, and I bet if you took those sunglasses off he’d look like the Crypt Keeper, but energy-wise he hasn’t lost a step. I think he’s gonna be one of those guys that suddenly ages 4 decades at once when it’s finally time for him to go.

Honky Tonk Man has been struggling with his health following a particularly nasty “off and on” fight with COVID, according to Kevin Nash on his latest podcast. Doesn’t sound like he’s bedridden or anything (Nash brought this up in an anecdote about running into HTM in a bar recently) but worth keeping an eye on.

A guy I was always pleased to see pop up in small roles. Always amazing line delivery.

Apologies

Rachel Pollack, transsexual tarot enthusiast and author probably best known for her work on the very good and very weird Doom Patrol comics of the 90’s - taking over from Grant Morrison from 1993 to 1995 - is close to passing according to longtime friend Neil Gaiman. Some premature reports of her death are on social media as well.

Would not surprise me to see him make it to 100.

Ryuho Okawa, founder/CEO of Japanese megacult Happy Science, has died of a stroke aged 66. No English language sources on the beat at this hour but I'm sure they will be published soon. Okawa was viewed as the current incarnation of the god "El Cantare" by his followers, and his cult notably had a rivalry with the much more infamous Aum Shinrikyo cult during the 1990's. Okawa even survived a sarin gas-based assassination attempt. Happy Science also made the news during the pandemic for their pushing of "spiritual vaccines" - essentially offering to pray the COVID out of people's bodies for the modest price of 400 bucks per blessing. Enjoy Hell, weirdo!

With the death of Jerry Jarrett, there are only 9 promoters from the territories era of wrestling (1948 to 1995 as the most generous definition) still living: Jim Herd - Born 1939 (84) Bill Watts - Born 1939 (83) Dory Funk Jr. - Born 1941 (82) Ole Anderson - Born 1942 (80) Terry Funk - Born 1944 (78) Vince McMahon - Born 1945 (77) Carlos Colón - Born 1948 (74) Ron Fuller - Born 1948 (74) Robert Fuller - Born 1949 (73) Jim Cornette - Born 1961 (61)

RIP to one of the asterisks on the list of surviving Muhammad Ali opponents. Jay had the honor of jobbing to Ali in the lead-up to his bout with Antonio Inoki.

Also the main difference is these documents are being found and handed over by Biden and Pence's own legal staff, whereas Trump had to be asked for missing legal documents multiple times to the point an FBI raid was required.

Nash brushed off concerns he was suicidal on his podcast this week while discussing the death of Jay Briscoe, in typical wrestling fashion: Link to clip

Update: On his "final stream" Mekotur says he has Stage IV brain cancer and is blind in one eye as a result.

Keemstar is a noted bullshitter but: For those unaware of him, Metokur is probably the most popular name on the internet in the field of "Making fun of cringey videos that teenagers post on YouTube/TikTok".

You said it, not me.

Spotted the nonce.

You have to be a *real* little-cocked no-pussy-getting retard to jump to Andrew Tate's defense. No offense to the retards present.

Damn, another bummer. Very funny and humble lady based on all her interviews. RIP.
