    MMMDP 2023

    MMMDP Form Guide #9 Ole Anderson No, someone hasn't exhumed George Carlin's corpse. With the death of ol' "Superstar" Billy Graham, Ole Anderson takes the mantle of the self-absorbed, much-loathed within the industry wrestler who has been dying for about 20 years now. Battling MS and dementia since the days where Shelton Benjamin was considered a potential main eventer, could one half of the Minnesota Wrecking Crew have you shouting "ole ole ole" in this year's MMMDP?

    Internet Celebrities

    Yuri Kuznetsov, aka Kuz, Russian internet mini-mogul, owner of numerous alt-chans and the guy who tried to buy 4chan last year, has stepped down from his role at the Kolyma Network due to worsening health, related to his HIV progressing to full-blown AIDS.

    Deathlist Cup 2023

    I'm as stunned as you are. Some 13 years after he first definitely only had a few months to live and you needed to book him for your wrestling convention ASAP, "Superstar" Billy Graham has finally agreed to do the job for multiple organ failure. The man who brought steroids into the world of professional wrestling has brought some succor for a few of our less fortunate players this round: AFB and wannamaker get their first points on the board, while alt obits guy goes back ahead of Grim Up North in a ding-dong battle on average age. alt obits guy 7 vs Grim Up North 7 DevonDeathTrip 11 vs An Fear Baeg 3  gcreptile 13 vs deadsox 0 Banana 6 vs wannamaker 3

    Also, the short film listed in that IMDB profile is on YouTube. It only has two actors in it - Julian Christopher and Mona Trujillo. I know black don't crack, but this is not an 81-year-old man. IMDB have fucked up.

    MMMDP #5 Form Guide Bam Margera What will he do next? Probably drink two bottles of Everclear and have a crywank thinking about when he could have had his pick of cute sk8 jailbait back in the day. Has spent the past five years blaming Jeff Tremaine and Johnny Knoxville for everything that's gone wrong in his life, which is everything that's happened in the past five years. Will this Earth Rocker be rejoining Ryan Dunn at that great office chairs skateboard park in the sky?

    Surely that IMDB is a case of combining two actors with the same name's careers? Unless this guy played John Wilkes Booth: Ridiculous. Doesn't even have a moustache.

    Lukashenko probably worth of his own thread? He always reminds me of perennial "oh that guy" British sitcom regular David Haig:

    Deathlist Cup 2023

    A key figure in the story of Los Angeles politics over the past four decades, Gloria Molina was an activist-turned-supervisor who became the first Hispanic woman elected to California's state assembly. Known for an "in-your-face" political style, she would often drive through skid row herself in order to aid deprived families. She also introduced a law that saw parking a food truck for more than one hour punishable by up to six months in prison. Why not, tbh? Recent announcements that she had terminal cancer had put Cup players on notice last month, but the renaming of Grand Park in LA as "Gloria Molina Park" was perhaps a true sign she wasn't about to spend a Carter-esque time in hospice. Three teams score: DDT and gcreptile increase their leads, while GUN goes ahead of aog. alt obits guy 4 vs Grim Up North 7 DevonDeathTrip 11 vs An Fear Baeg 0  gcreptile 13 vs deadsox 0 Banana 6 vs wannamaker 0

    Wrestlers/actors

    He's going to be the first cryogenically-frozen guest at wrestling conventions. $50 for a photo, $100 if you want them to arrange his frozen body so it looks like he's got you in a headlock.

    Jamie Foxx

    "Out of hospital for weeks" is the exact quote from his daughter. There is something very weird going on here and I'm not quite sure what it is.

    Great film this, Rebney comes across really well in it (a lot better than his "fans").

    Statistics

    Not the best place for it, but also not worthy of its own thread. Recently watching a YouTube documentary about "the greatest ever Scrabble match" (Nigel Richards vs David Gibson at the 23rd National Championships in 2012). While Richards is usually referred to as the greatest ever Scrabble player, Gibson had the highest ever ELO rating in the game. Gibson died in 2019. Specifically, on November 22nd, aged 68, of pancreatic cancer. That name rang some bells at the back of my mind, and it led me to an old crossed out longlist for the 2020 DDP. I did have a man in his 60s called David Gibson who had pancreatic cancer lined up to play, and yes they did die in November. But it's a different guy. David Gibson was a bakery owner who successfully sued Oberlin College after the student body defamed him as a racist. He died On November 16th 2019, aged 65, of pancreatic cancer. Only six days and three years separating them, otherwise identical names and identical causes of death. Incredibly autistic but can anyone think of any similar occurrences?

    Deathlist Cup 2023

    From the well-trodden "teams doing well in the DDP to DL Cup" pipeline, we have a hit in the shape of Denny Crum. Crum was the coach of the University of Louisville's basketball team for three decades, taking them to two NCAA championships (80 and 86) and revolutionizing the way college teams set about scheduling early-season matches. Such was his skills in the post-season he was nicknamed "Mr March". Grim Up North, despite bagging a unique hit, won't be known as Mr May just yet - alt obits guy still leads them on average age of hit. alt obits guy 4 vs Grim Up North 4 DevonDeathTrip 8 vs An Fear Baeg 0  gcreptile 6 vs deadsox 0  Banana 6 vs wannamaker 0

    First few iterations of this will undoubtedly stonewall deadpoolers asking it "which celebrities are going to die in the next 12 months, please sort by youngest to oldest". Don't think the DDP will be won by a programmer until 2030...

    Elon's "streamlining" of Twitter's back-end has made it basically useless for research. It's down to The Zuck to be the spiritual home of endless searches by DDPers in December.

    Wait, this is odd: the guy (who was a massive deal on American TV in the 70s) died over a month ago, had a very brief obit published in a local newspaper, and there's been absolutely no follow-up since?
