The Resume

    (1966- )
    Endorsed Vision Street Wear
    Appeared in the music video 'Free Fallin'' by Tom Petty
    Tortured, raped, and murdered Jessica Bergsten, age 22 (1991)
    Serving a 31-year prison sentence, eligible for parole in 2010

Why he might be annoying:

    While drunk, he fell from his hotel room in Germany, severely injuring himself (1990).
    After his fateful fall in Germany, he became a born-again Christian (1990).
    He preached his newfound beliefs through advertisements for Vision, contributing to his waning popularity.
    When his girlfriend Brandi McClain broke up with him in 1990, he stalked her and made death threats to her on the phone.
    He then started socializing with Jessica Bergsten, a friend of Brandi's.
    As Jessica was getting ready to leave her room, Gator ran up to her and hit her multiple times in the face with a wheel jack, rendering her barely conscious.
    He then brought her to his room and raped her for hours.
    As she was screaming louder and louder, he put her in a surfboard bag before strangling her to death.
    He then ditched her body in a California desert after killing her (1991).
    His actions were selfish, as he took out his resulting angers and frustrations from the breakup on someone else, and he did so by viciously murdering a friend of Brandi's.
    He ruined his legacy as a skateboarder and role model.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a superstar in the 'vert' skateboarding world in his heyday, with several articles from skate magazines about him.
    He was the poster child for Vision Street Wear, and as a result, his name was synonymous with Vision.
    He barely knew his father.
    He suffered from bi-polar disorder.
    After he murdered Jessica, he willingly confessed his crimes and helped locate Jessica's remains in the desert (1991).
