Joey Russ 7,228 Posted January 1, 2017 I did a random search on the BBC and he got mentioned twice on there: once in 2004 and once in 2013. So he might get a BBC obit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted January 1, 2017 Lol roey , he'll obit everywhere... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,330 Posted January 1, 2017 His thread doesn`t connect from the main page.He will obit .Whether it is by the BBC I am not 100% but probably I mean he was pretty big in boxing in the 80`s before completely slipping off the radar.He used to be in fights shown on ITV to millions I read so I guess that helped the committee justify his inclusion.

Death Impends 7,979 Posted January 1, 2017 I wonder if a committee fondness for boxing helped him make the cut. Similar to how they've held on to Jake LaMotta every year since 2005, when healthwise he had mostly been a random old person (albeit one from a field where many names don't make old bones).

msc 18,476 Posted January 1, 2017 Much like many DDPers having their areas of interest ie OoO's motorsports, Spade's journalists/music types, DDT's religious figures, Deathray's Corrie love, etc. It's my goal to have a wrestler on my main team one day. I went close with Smith Hart, but feel he might just make 2018. Snuka, no trust at all, and Vader's apparently been told he can live longer if he gets healthier, and DDP is going to try and help him out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't have thought so, is only because of his family's legacy that anyone outside Alberta has heard of him.

Predictor 1,018 Posted May 10, 2017 What an effing downgrade from DL 2016. Muhammad Ali ---> Errol Christie = Lamborghini ---> Fred Flintstone's car Someone ought to make a poll over the least deathlist-y DL names in the Internet era! He'd get a few votes, I reckon. Or Al had-an-insignificant-character-role-in-Happy-Days Molinaro. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,476 Posted May 10, 2017 Well, you know, Javier Perez de Cuellar will be a Deathlist hit one day, and Alec Guinness, Patrick Moore and Boris Yeltsin weren't, so you know, its all swings and roundabouts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,979 Posted May 10, 2017 TBH I don't think the DL will ever get another name that outdoes Ruby Muhammad in terms of sheer non-DLy-ness. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,979 Posted May 10, 2017 11 minutes ago, Shaun of the Dead said: Eliizabeth Edwards? Edwards didn't feel DL-y, but at least she was guaranteed UK coverage of her death. Whereas Muhammad was completely unknown outside of her local community and "really old people with vagueish claims to fame" wonks and never got press outside of local papers either in life or death. Only Frederiksen reaches a similar low level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
