Xavier Cromartie Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 I'll make my glorious return to deathpoolin', but I'm picking only wrestlers who are younger than 60.

Jake Roberts, age 52–53 4. Leon White (Vader), age 50–51 5. King Kong Bundy, age 50–51 6. Mike Shaw (Bastion Booger), age 50–51 7. Lex Luger, age 49–50 8. Scott Hall, age 49–50 9. George Gray (Akeem the African Dream), age 47–48 10. Del Wilkes (The Patriot), age 46–47 11. Marty Jannetty, age 45–46 12. Scott Steiner, age 45–46 13. The Warlord, age 45–46 14. Tony Halme (Ludvig Borga), age 44–45 — best bet 15. Sabu, age 43–44 16. Konnan, age 43–44 17. Giant González, age 41–42 18. P.N. News, age 38–39 19. Juventud Guerrera, age 33–34 20.

MarvinisaLunatic Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Id like to take the time now that entries are officially over to note that not one of my 20 was picked by anyone else so I get 25 points for each if they kick the bucket. And my best bet was diagnosed with terminal cancer back in August and given 6 months to live..and he's only 40-something. Thats what..an easy 190 {(10+50+25)x 2} points right there to start off.. Mikey Dread was originally my best bet as hes only 50 and has a really nasty brain tumor. Julia Carson also has terminal cancer but she was too old to be worth much points.
CanadianChris Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Posted January 1, 2008 I'd like to take the time to note that 14 people were completely shut out last year. Could someone pin this thread and unpin last year's?
spman Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Now that it's too late for new entries as well, in hindsight after I poster my picks, it occurred to be that Charles Manson as a Best Bet would have been a great choice. Wasn't he supposedly on his death bed with some sort of kidney disease?
tominator89 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 I should have added Arthur C. Clarke to my list. Oh well. EDIT: He didn't die yet, but he probably will shortly.
CanadianChris Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Posted January 1, 2008 I'm amazed at the number of people who think Jake "The Snake" Roberts will ever die.
CanadianGuitarist Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 I'd like to take the time to note that 14 people were completely shut out last year. Could someone pin this thread and unpin last year's? Including me. My team is almost the same as last year's. Did I send you a drunken private message about Errie Ball? He's gotta be getting close. Jake Roberts, even though he's wrestling's Keith Richards, just has to die one of these days as well. I know I completely contradicted myself, but come on.
Sideburnious Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 Yeah, I generally copy and pasted my last years list with a few changes from dead/ out of the "danger zone" people.
Youth N Asia Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 When doing wrestling picks you should know that Jake Roberts, Scott Hall, and Terry Funk will outlive us all
MillenniumMan831 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 Jake Roberts will die the year I don't have him on my list.
spiny norman Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 Billy Graham Wrestler or evangelist? Evangelist. I'll edit that now to be more specific.
Red Baron Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 I'm still quite bitter that Bhutto has/was died/assassinated.
Youth N Asia Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 Sorry that you couldn't get any points from her tragic death, this must be very hard for you :-P
Toshiaki Koala Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Norman, what led you to pick Sidney Lumet? I had him last year because a lot of famous directors had just died and I had a funny feelin'.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 I doubt anyone has him but we have our first "celebrity" death of 08 George MacDonald Fraser (writer) -- Dead. Cancer. Died January 2, 2008. Among his highlights he wrote the screenplay for the James Bond film Octopussy. Oh, and I wish I had noticed this..the Korean Boxer Yo-Sam Choi, he collapsed during a fight on Christmas Day (after winning the WBC Flyweight Title) but wasn't pronounced legally dead until the 2nd. He was only 35 AND it was "technically" an accident..damn.
