From the get-go Monster Force Zero has a real 80s aesthetic – from the typography of the credits to the fantastic soundtrack, the filmmakers behind this film really have captured the vibe of that bygone, fan-favourite, era.

Differences in methodology from Morris
I also used Social Security Actuarial Life Tables, but my “expected mortality rates” for the age groups were not the same as Morris’. For each wrestler, I calculated what their age would have been as of today. Then, based on gender, I looked up the number of lives (out of 100,000) that were expected to still be alive and converted that to a percentage. His analysis looked at wrestlers who were on 20+ WWF PPVs through 2002. I went with a...
