msc 18,437 Posted July 29, 2018 You know what you need in deadpooling? Timing. That's why Brickhouse Brown has a QO, due to dying on the same day as 2 far bigger stars. Had he died on literally any other day of this year, Joey wouldn't have a unique on the Elizabethan Deadpool. Yeah I googled it and assumed Chorizo had picked him for something. Oh well.

Death Impends 7,957 Posted July 29, 2018 Aye, his death's already been reported in here, just that it's one of three wrestler deaths today so a bit easier to lose track. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alt obits guy 3,371 Posted July 30, 2018 The wrestling trio who died has become a quartet, albeit with a lesser known name. Tracy Caddell, a mid 1990s indy pro wrestler who fought as T.C. Brimstone, a founding member of the OMEGA promotion and the father of Impact star Trevor Lee, has died. http://wrestlingnews.co/other/tracy-caddell-father-of-impact-wrestling-star-trevor-lee-has-passed-away/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted July 30, 2018 That's seven dead from the 2000 Royal Rumble now. Who do we fancy for #8? Gangrel? X-Pac? Bob Backlund? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gangrel (fat/drugs), Backlund (on general age), Rikishi (size/heart), or Bob Holly (general drug addict issues), I'd assume. I have now cursed The Godfather. 1988 - 4/20 gone (JYD, Warrior, Nikolai, Dino Bravo) - next - Jim Neidhart imo. 1992 - 8/30 gone (Bulldog, Von Erich, Hercules, Volkoff again, Piper, Bossman, Snuka, Macho Man) - next - how is Warlord still alive? 2001 - 3/30 gone (Brian Christopher, Crash, Test) - Honky Tonk Man. Also, weirdly 2008 is at 4/30 (Snuka and Piper, Viscera and Umaga) yet every Rumble from 2009 on is at 0/30 (0/40 for 2011) on dead wrestlers. Didn't think we'd ever see a decade of living Rumble competitors back in 2007-ish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted July 30, 2018 Distinct lack of purebred fuckups in Rumbles over the past decade, is it going to be the King (2012 Royal Rumble, a few months before his heart attack) joining up with his son to break the streak? Of note: Jerry Lawler has already bought his funeral plot. He will be buried in the Memphis Memorial Park Cemetery, right next to Isaac Hayes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted July 30, 2018 According to Meltz, Christopher's bail was set at $40,000 and Jerry Lawler refused to pay it, saying he thought it was time for his son to grow up and face the consequences. Probably his worst decision since putting the CWA title on Wendell Cooley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
