You would have be like the guy living under the rock from the old GEICO commercial to not see it coming.

Really? Even though 90% of the posts in this thread have been made by you?

 

I'm curious, how familiar were you with Van Cliburn before you found out about "Celebrity Death Pool"?

Paul Bearer dead at 58

 

There was very little better entertainment than the time Paul Bearer and the Undertaker sealed the Ultimate Warrior in the casket.

In my world he's very famous, and his 'victory' over the 'cold war Soveit Union' (in 1958) was as great as the U.S. hockey victory in 1980; again, in my world. Wouldn't be truly surprising someone else was familiar with him. However, he was a very famous person that announced in late August that he had bone cancer. wouldn't take much, when compiling a death list, to google 'famous people with cancer' and come up with a few notables to put on one's list.

Paul Bearer dead at 58

 

Oh man, I can't remember this year's list. But I know I have had him on in the past. Hopefully I included him this year.

[notoriousgod71]

And it all comes crashing down... I didn't put him on my list. This makes me so angry.

Why would you put him on the list? Did he wrestle at one point?

Wrestling managers are the best of the best when it comes to entertaining.

Quite honestly because he was fat.
