Big Bully Be You Sick Witch Hunt

The Deaths in 2018 lists under May 8

Big Bully Busick, 63, American professional wrestler (WWF), spinal fluid cancer

His name contains a cryptic “big bully be(b) you(u) sick”.

• Nick Busick (June 1, 1954 – May 8, 2018) 

And there’s a film: , note this actor listed on films IMDb page:

Brian Wickens

...

Wrestler on TV (uncredited)

The surname Wickens is a cryptic “witch” (see etymology below), and his cropping up now is timely, given the MacGregors recent May 7 post that focus on witches, note from the post:

• The Inquisition Palace... documents a dark pocket in Colombia’s history similar to the Salem witch-burning era in this country.

And now note from Brian’s wiki page

•   January 8, 1947  in Wellington, New Zealand

Again, my stepson’s birthday, January 8th, makes a “seemingly” magical appearance.   And so Big Bully Busick’s Birthday,  June 1, is our next lead ... using the formula  and taking into consideration the “one off” curve ball we arrive at:

• 1991 – David Ruffin, American singer-songwriter (b. 1941)

Note the surname that connects with Bully!!  Note from his wiki page:

• David Eli Ruffin (January 18, 1941 – June 1, 1991) 

And note from his brothers wiki page:

• James Lee Ruffin^[3] (May 7, 1936 – November 17, 2014)  

An addition to the “timely” pattern-cluster... May 7 being the day of the MacGregors post.  Note from David Ruffin’s wiki page:

•  It was in Ruffin's travels as a teenager that he met such later popular personalities as Elvis Presley

• Elvis Aaron Presley^[a] (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977)

And yet another January 8 make a debut on center stage!!

Note the etymology:

• witch (n.) from verb wiccian "to practice witchcraft" (compare Low German wikken, wicken "to use witchcraft," wikker, wicker "soothsayer").
• Wickens:  ...the dairy-farm being originally "wicum", the home of the pirates "vicing" - the latter an Anglicization of "Viking"....
