Really would've been something if he'd won the Tourney of Cool just before his death.

Then we could have sent off an email to his manager/agent, who might have notified him. Then his sons could have pimped WTFDetroit's Tourney as the last hurrah for this great man.

Off into the heavens you go, superstar. Rest in peace.

For those of you not alive (or coherent) in the seventies, this guy was one of the Big Ones. Kneivel, Ali, the Fonz, Jack Nicklaus and Elvis RULED the world.

So you're saying THESE people ruled the world in the '70s:

*An out-of-control psycho

*An Jew posing as a Catholic

*A loud mouthed muslim convert

*An asshole sports figure

*A washed up druggy

Sounds like 2007 to me.
