I’m very excited to announce that IronE’s autobiography …įrom surviving the streets to slaying the geeks Is now available for pre-order!! In many ways I think that through this project, with the Singleton family’s openness and love throughout, IronE was ultimately more help to my spirit than I was to his writing. He became an accomplished father, actor and man. Instead, despite his horrible early mistakes, he put his faith in God and found a way to rise above.

Romero zombie quest stuck professional#
So based on those four factors we have determined which current professional athletes would be doomed in a zombie apocalypse. The criteria we chose to use for our list breakdown to fitness, injury issues, selflessness, self-defense and clutch ability. With the type of zombie determined, we now must decide what areas to examine that would cause one to be done in by the undead. Both offer varying possibilities to examine, however for the purposes of this list we are going to stick with the traditional Romero Zombies. The Romero Zombie – the shambling horde of undead – or the ’28 Days Later’ Zombies – the hyper aggressive and sprinting infected. The largest point of clarification is which type of zombies we are going to be speaking of. With almost every possibility already explored for a hypothetical zombie apocalypse, we decided to dig into which athletes would be screwed if the undead started conquering the world tomorrow. Mega blockbuster movies like World War Z or the cult television show iZombie mean that the zombie has true staying power.
Whether they are the classic shambling hordes of the dear brought back to life by voodoo doctors or the modern hunters of flesh that have been infected with a virus, there are few interactions of the zombie that we have yet to come across in the media.Īnd despite to concept of the popular zombie being almost 50 years old, the undead are still making their presence known. Romero brought us Night of the Living Dead in 1968, the zombie has been a pop culture staple.
