▲It’s a sad reality check, there’s no current technology for immortality… even if you’re a celebrity, athlete, musician, inventor, or political leader. While going into the Afterlife may seem like it's the end of a game, at least, one is given an opportunity to reunite with deceased loved ones like a family member or partner. Just image meeting a well-known personality in the afterlife? Well, celebrities are people too and can fall victim to what can deadly for an avenge person. So, having a celebrity in the afterlife makes a lot of sense, but it often depends on what did they do in life… as they’re subjected to judgment like everyone else.
This is often common in [[Dead to Begin With]]. If this is described in a poem or song, this would result in a [[Celebrity Elegy]].

== [[Fan Works]] ==
* ''[[Final Stand of Death]]'' has the fallen meet up in the afterlife, which is justified given it's a ''[[Celebrity Deathmatch]]'' fic.
Line 29 ⟶ 17:
== [[Literature]] ==
* [[Older Than Print]]: In ''[[The Divine Comedy]]'', the protagonist not only meets but is guided by [[Virgil]], who died over a millennium before the poem was written.
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* A short-lived 1987 show called ''Second Chance'', St. Peter is in his office in the [[Afterlife Antechamber]], where he has recently people stand up their final judgment just after their deaths. After allowing a deceased beauty queen into Heaven, Peter deals with Colonel Gaddafi, before sending him to hell for what he had done. Those who were found to be neither good nor bad for either place are allowed to come [[Back From the Dead]] being given their second chance, which happened to a motorist who arrived shortly after being in an automobile collision.
== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==
* In his [https://youtu.be/g4ewW7TZOsw?t=188 eulogy] to "Mean" Gene Okerlund on ''Monday Night Raw'', [[Hulk Hogan]] describes Okerlund having the angels entertained by setting up a tag-team wrestling match in Heaven. The team of The Macho Man and the Ultimate Warrior against Roddy Piper and Mr. Perfect, with Andre the Giant as the special referee. Bobby Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon would be calling the match as usual.
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]]'', Sovngarde is essentially Valhalla to the Nords, and inhabited by heroes who have proven their mettle in life and have an eternity of feasting and fighting to look forward to. When the player visits Sovngarde for the final showdown with Alduin, you get to meet all kinds of ancient Nordic heroes: Greybeard founder Jurgen Windcaller, the Companions' founder Ysgramor, former Whiterun Jarl Olaf One Eye, and the original three heroes that banished Alduin in the past. Depending on your actions in the storyline, you can also run into famous people you've interacted with, such as Kodlak Whitemane of the Companions, or rebel leader Ulfric Stormcloak.
