You can say anyone is irrelevant that isn't in the news right now. Such a shame, since a guy in my group volunteered to take a Stunner for me to show everyone and sold it, too.

Yes, you can. And then if the reaction depends on the audience "getting" a bunch of inside jokes that require knowledge of the person, it can be an issue.

Ahhhhh, the original members of Led Zeppelin hasn't played together since John Bonham's passing over 30 years ago (aside from a few one-off shows like the one in late 2007 with Bonham's son), but everyone in the rock world still talks about them today. This should be no exception as well but replace rock music with wrestling.
