R.I.P - Tpww Poster Daniel Frieda (Pepsi Man): 1983-2007

Hey guys,

I don't know if this thread is appropriate or not (if it isn't, please feel free to delete this), but I do know that Pepsi Man, in the last few years, posted far more on the wrestling forum than casual.

Hopefully - this thread can be devoted to Pepsi Man...and what positives he brought to the wrestling forum (and other forums if you wish).

For me - I admittedly was a dick to Pepsi Man. I laughed at a lot of things that I truly feel bad for. Luckily for me, I private messaged Pepsi Man earlier and forgave him for talking so much smack. Being the class act that he was, Pepsi Man forgave me. I honestly don't know too much on what Pepsi Man's wrestling viewpoints were (I haven't been here much the past few years), but he seemed to know his stuff.

My best memories of The Pep will be the many laughs that he provided me and Tpww.

God bless.

So has his ghost still been posting or what?

Yeah, what?

We didn't notice so much that he continued to post?

Assuming that was a typo, he was pretty cool. Good all-around poster. He will be missed in a "he didn't post much but he was the goods" sort of way. :(

Loose Cannon 11-24-2007 10:42 AM

he died Wed apparently due to complications with diabetes. I posted my comments in the casual forum, but he was great wrestling forum poster. I had a lot of scuffles with him, but he had a lot of knowledge about the sport and he was fun to have around. Wheter it be as "The Pep" in c-fedding or the poster himself.

Splaya 11-24-2007 10:43 AM

No way


Damn


RIP :(

Heyman 11-24-2007 10:46 AM

This will sound very ridiculous, but I'll say it anyway:

Before this post, I was actually going to post in a thread where I was going to rip the shit out of Bret Hart and Rob Harvey (in the thread entitled, "For those who think the WWE and Shawn Michaels are over the Montreal screw job.").

I then stopped myself and wondered, "If something seriously bad happened to Bret or Rob, would I feel good about this post?"

So yeah - pretty gay on my part to think along those lines, but this whole Pepsi Man debacle has brought me a new awareness (well actually it hasn't.....I've always been "aware", I just never gave a fuck). I'm going to try very hard to not talk shit to anyone. I'll only talk smack to people who KNOW that I'm joking and know that I'm just clowning around.

At any rate, DVS has been closed we're guessing permanently. It was online earlier today, but now it's gone.


Jesus.

I just figured this was more of Heyman's tomfoolery.

Heyman 11-24-2007 11:20 AM

Oops, I just realized I put 2004 instead of 2007 in the subject heading. :o

Kane Knight and BDC's comments NOW make sense. --> :o:o

BigDaddyCool 11-24-2007 11:24 AM

Oh, well that sucks.

Originally, we thought it was just a rumor started by Dxfan (Fat Eddie Delgado) at DVS, so we disregarded it as just him being a dickhead. Then Peps's brother-in-law confirmed it in a post. Christ, I was just talkin to Peps this past Monday about some of our E-Fed business and then this. :(

Kane Knight 11-24-2007 11:26 AM

Yeah, I just deleted my comment in the light of the fact that it's not a joke, but a typo which is now corrected.

I'd just as soon not be dickish on this point. I assumed it was a joke.

Nark Order 11-24-2007 12:26 PM

A fucking shame. I've been on the boards for years on and off and always enjoyed a good Pepsiman post. RIP and best wishes to his family.

Well, I never knew him that well. Perhaps because I’ve only been posting since early ’05. But at any rate...

Kane Knight 11-24-2007 01:24 PM

Bigfoot sightings will never be the same. :(

FourFifty 11-24-2007 01:56 PM

God damn it...
Rest in peace Pepsiman.
He's the only poster who off the bat I can remember had his own rep nammed after him. Cooler than Pepsi Man at a sweatpants convention....

XL 11-24-2007 02:06 PM

Taken far too young

Sorry to hear that.

RIP.

Damn...

Long Live Pepsi Man.

Mooияakeя™ 11-24-2007 02:52 PM

OMFG. Didn't know him at all, recognised the name, and definitely the avatar.

God bless. RIP and a +1 to his account as it's all I can do to say, god speed Pepsi Man.

Shadow 11-24-2007 03:06 PM

..fuck! He's my age.

RIP.

IC Champion 11-24-2007 03:12 PM

Never really knew him, but sad nonetheless.

Also, what is DVS?

Does this mean you are going to stop psychoanalyzing my relationship with DMI, The Mask, and Stima?

Cause I almost cut myself the last time.

It's not often that I am found at a loss of words, but Pepsi Man was a great guy. We shared a lot of conversations on IM and Private Messages, and right now my only hope is that this is a Heyman prank. If it's not, than...

...may you rest in peace my friend.

Mike the Metal Ed 11-24-2007 04:26 PM

Wow, this has taken me completely by shock, TPWWers have died before, but not since I started posting regularly... we had some good MSN conversations back in the day, Pep. Rest in Peace. :(

Nark Order 11-24-2007 04:31 PM

What'cha wanna bet that within the next few days TPWW's newest board member is going to be "Ghost of The Pep"

addy2hotty 11-24-2007 04:54 PM

Shiity news, one of the few reg's round here that I didn't disagree with on a regular basis.

RIP Pepsi.

Indifferent Clox 11-24-2007 05:07 PM

Damn. This is so depressing.

Like when a wrestler dies it's almost not real and you can kind of just be like damn I saw that guy every week, but when a poster dies it's like "I interacted with that Guy!" damn.

RIP

Dorkchop 11-24-2007 05:12 PM

This is sad. 24.... Way too young. Since his family probably won't read this, my heart goes out to anyone on this board who knew him even a little.

But yeah. :(

Mr. Nerfect 11-24-2007 05:27 PM

Didn't know him personally, or anything, but if he has passed on, that is awful news. RIP, man.

If this is a joke, it's not funny.

Nark Order 11-24-2007 05:40 PM

Any self-respecting mod would sticky this.

BigDaddyCool 11-24-2007 06:19 PM

I've been drinking pepsi all day in his memory.

Londoner 11-24-2007 06:36 PM

Wow, i didn't really know him at all but this is kinda shocking when you hear stuff like this, especially at such a young age, RIP.

Kalyx triaD 11-24-2007 06:40 PM

RIP

Not to make this about me but this event got me thinking that if anything were to happen to me you guys would have no way of knowing. I'm probably gonna make an 'In The Event Of' note for my peeps so they could log into spots like this and deliver the news.

For that matter is there a list of rep titles I can see?

I was also thinking this about me strangely.

Rob 11-24-2007 07:32 PM

I don't know what to say about this.

I pretty much only knew him on the board but he was easily one of the best guys on here. My heart goes out to his family and friends right now.

Anyone know of funeral details?
