how can someone not have heard of mean gene brother
Well that's the media world for you. Some TV "stars" discover that once they take a holiday in a foreign country they become complete nobodies (not recognized in the street, not given a pass in restaurants hotels or shops).
That's a good reality check btw.
But yeah, the other two are definitely American celebrities.
Looks more like an American Real Estate Agent or an Evangelist
Let me know when of your relatives dies so I can do the same.
he was also a singer in the late 50's/early 60's
keef, I wasn’t trying to mock the deceased. May he Rest In Peace. But, your personal stab was on the same level. My apologies for any offense caused by my post, it was inappropriate.
I never heard of him either, because I don't follow wrestling. How it is offensive to say that? That's all you said. The response was way overboard.
I didn't think it was mocking or offensive either - the fact is "professional wrestling" of this nature is more of a comedy than an actual "sport".
For the record, I have heard of Gene Okerlund - his skill at keeping a straight face while announcing matches or interviewing knuckleheads is unmatched.
My older brother and I used to smoke pot and watch some of those shows back in the day - some of it was very funny, but maybe you had to be high!
Macho Man & Mean Gene
He was a great actor!
RIP Gene Okerlund

3 people dying at the average male life expectancy age in one day, that has to be some sort of record.

Marty Funkhouser aka Super Dave Osborne . One of my favorites from Late Night with David Letterman who was hilarious to me because he would come on like he was Evil Kenevil and do these stunts which he would fail at miserably and then get teased by Dave and then fast forward to Larry David and Curb Your Enthusiasm where he played Larry friend Marty Funkhouser and he could be so serious to Larry's goofiness . R.I.P. Bob Einstein !

I've never heard of Gene Okerlund. I guess one had to be a fan of the "sport" of "professional wrestling".
