How stupid are you?
As I said, when did I saw I was pleased a wrestler had died.
Today was a good day for me as none of my personal heroes had died in the last 24 hours.
Why not get back to Wrestle Mania and leave me alone.
Your post is really unclear then. As I said, when did I saw I was pleased a wrestler had died.

It reads like you are pleased he is dead as you didn't like him.

I agree. It appears you are the only one who can't see it.
RGT. I suggest that you re-read your post in isolation and have a rethink about what others would infer.
I was very puzzled why you would write what you did.
If you had written "Yesterday was a good day, none of my heroes died", it would have been clumsy, but clearer what you meant. It would definitely have been clear that you weren't glad that King Kong Bundy had gone over the top rope.
its weird the celeb death thing, most dont register and realistically whether someone who did a few good tunes in the seventies then was never really heard from again, whether they are alive or dead doesn't make much odds to us if we are honest. Their work still exists and they weren't going to write any more so it makes zero difference beyond a bit of basic human respect and acknowledgement.
After all, how many folk do we hear of that die that we thought were already dead, Dennis Norden died in September last year, I had thought he had been dead a while so you get that weird feeling that oh he was still alive, but he isn't now. Not been on telly since 2006, but you still feel a bit sad for people like that as seemed so likeable.
I would never class myself as a die hard Prodigy fan, got the albums, loved them over the years, never went to a gig but I loved they existed, they still seemed current and that manic looking lunatic frontman that was Keith Flint was the icing on the cake, he looked properly demented, you believed everything he said/sang/shouted/growled, the music was great but if it was a drug, he was the "Active Ingredient", you hear Firestarter on the radio, your minds eye sees that truly scary mental looking bloke in a tunnel. I feel a bit sorry for Liam Howlett and Maxim as they have lost their mate and despite being the bulk of the musical force behind the band, most people in the street would struggle to recognise them but they would recognise Keith Flint as "the Prodigy bloke"
So, think this has saddened us more as he was still part of a band everyone seemed to like, that were still creative and current, plus, seemed like a really nice guy by all accounts.
The Prodigy without him will be like Queen without Freddie Mercury, the Doors without Jim Morrison.

Perfectly put, I’ve had that heavy regret feeling in the pit of my stomach since reading about Keith’s passing, the only other time I’ve felt that is after Paul Walker. After all, how many folk do we hear of that die that we thought were already dead, Dennis Norden died in September last year, I had thought he had been dead a while so you get that weird feeling that oh he was still alive, but he isn't now.

They both seemed a bit more distanced from normal celebs and like someone you feel you knew slightly.

Yes. It's an unsettling feeling isn't it? I'm 48.She looked very much like one of my school teachers. Minus the dark glasses. I had a bit of a thing for both of them back then.
