I want to send my thoughts and prayers to Elix Skipper for the loss of his son. But, I have one question. How does Elix have a 21 year old son when he is only 31?

I remember thinking the same thing when I read the WCW magazine 9 years ago. I think it said his child was about 13 or so then. This was just after he made his debut and I was concerned that Elix was just a very muscular child. His voice hadn't broken yet so it seemed like a possibility.

It seems that people are dying young these days due to gang violence

Is that a typo? Does a guy's body even produce the juice at that young of an age?

Well, genius that I am, I'm guessing that Elix Skipper, wait for it, isn't actually 31. There, I said it.
That, to me anyway, sounds like the most logical reason for him having a 21 year old son.
I'd guess he was a young father, just not 11 years young.

He probably did a batista and lied about his age in hopes of making it big

Maybe his son is adopted? My condolences as well. Parents should not be burying their children.

That is too bad about his son getting killed, and my thoughts go out to Elix and his entire family (I can't imagine what it would be like having to bury a son).
I'm sure Elix adopted becuase a 31 year old cannot have a 21 year old son, but that doesn't make it any less tragic.

its harsh and i feel bad for him, but it certainly is an odd one. maybe his wife is a few years older and had him from a previous relationship. still its a sad sign of the times.

It is sad, I always ask myself why does the good always die young? The good people always seem to died in some sort of accident or violence. It sucks because sometimes it may want you to be a bad person since we the good people always get some much negative in return.

is the case, Elix likely lied about his age to get a job at some point an has lived with that lie his entire career it is possible that instead he is actually 35-36 or so, which would fully bring the possibility of having a 21 year old son entirely possible

Yeah Wikipedia says he's 41 (if you trust it). It's a shame to hear about his son. I've spoken to Elix in the past and he's a nice guy.

That's a damn shame. I can't imagine what he is going through now. And the fucked up part was it was in his son's own home? That is even more tragic. I wonder if it was a random home invasion or he was involved with anything . . .

wiki had him as 31 earlier today, i swear it. imdb etc have him down as 41 too though. he doesn't look it i have to say. on the subject of the killing though, you have to wonder why it happened. not that anything makes it any easier or acceptable.

Skipper lying about his age isn't important. The fact is a 20-22 year old kid was murdered over something that probably could have been resolved. Anyways, I am sorry to hear this.

Yes, same here. That is where I got his age information. I also looked him up on another website and it said 31.
