Jeff Gann, aka longtime WCW jobber The Gambler, being reported dead.

A true "how the fuck is he still alive" figure, seemed to never stop having heart attacks. Also for ages (possibly still?) his Wikipedia page was written by his son who hates him.

These recent long-list additions aren't have much staying power, huh?

So am I right in saying this was the timeline of events: 1. ITV bosses knew that Schofield was having a legal-but-morally-dubious dalliance with a young runner, didn't really care because whatever 2. Holly Willoughby decides that she wants Allison Hammond as her co-host not Schofield. 3. Schofield shows no interest in stepping down 4. ITV bosses decide to throw Schofield under the bus to get him to step down 5. This all blows up in their face because Willoughby's insincerity is plastered across her forehead.

Forget if we'd discussed Russ Cook, the man who is documenting his attempt to run the length of Africa on social media, here. From the look of this video, things aren't going great:

Think I can break news of a death on the forums here: as far as I can tell, no other site has yet noted that John Hetlinger died last month at the age of 89. He quite rightly achieved his 15 minutes of viral fame in 2016 thanks to an appearance on America's Got Talent:

Hall of Fame-inducted boxing writer Graham Houston hospitalised.

Vicki Manning of Pawn Stars UK, who filled the Corey role on the show, died on February 14, 2021. Despite her getting plenty of newspaper appearances while the show was on the air, absolutely no mention of her death anywhere other than her dad's Facebook page.

Kudos AFB.

Popbitch email this week seems to be subtly implying that Eamonn Holmes is throwing a large number of boulders in his glass abode. What a shame it'd be if his career collapsed as well.

After some days stuck in the weeds with rules and regulations, we're throwing Shade on the funeral pyre. I did have a great statistic that Beverly Shade had wrestled the most matches in WWWF/WWF/WWE history while still having a 100% record (10 matches, 10 wins around the turn of the 80s, mainly as the tag team partner of beloved pimp/sexual abuser The Fabulous Moolah), but apparently Antonio Inoki wrestled 11 matches under the McMahon banner and won them all. Anyway, like Inoki Shade is now dead, and both gcreptile and Banana kick off the round with a captaincy hit. alt obits guy 0 vs DevonDeathTrip 0 gcreptile 6 vs Banana 6

Yarborough is in assuming Plater died last month, but then I need to decide whether we have a deadline on finding a Plater death date or if we've got until the end of the month.

OK, so my take on this is: DDT's original entry for the round called Travers a "noted figure in Alaska's Catholic scene". However, his second message to me about his team clearly referred to the Tijuana-based one. If there hadn't been that second message I'd have said "well you have to play the still-living Alaskan and hope he carks it this round", as I did when running the DDP and someone typed "Betty Wright" when they meant "Betty White". But as we've got a second message here.... I'm allowing his pick to remain as the now dead Tijuana lad. Not much sign of a QO at the moment though. Beverley Shade update to come.

Same, I think I have a solution but I'm going to wait a few hours to make sure I'm right.
