While since Post Crisis it would be used as a warped way a villain, usually Lex Luthor, would see it, but pre-Crisis Superman was pretty much Kal-El/Superman was the true nature of the character, and "Clark Kent" was the mask.
Obviously from Byrne on, the point of "Kent" was always how Kal got his humanity, and not just a "hiding in plain sight" gimmick, but Superman was at the time a big example of the hero being the true identity over the "secret civilian identity" of a heroic character.
Now that I think of it, other alien (Martian Manhunter/J'onn J'onzz) or God like characters on earth (Thor/Donald Blake, Wonder Woman/Diana Prince) characters fit that description as well.

Our Comic-Con International: San Diego 2019 coverage begins with interviews of the Batman Beyond cast and crew! Thanks to Donovan Morgan Grant and his crew, we hear from: director James Tucker, writers Stan Berkowitz and Bob Goodman, actors Kevin Conroy and Will Friedle, and producer Glen Murakami. [ 58:57 || 30.6 MB ]
I’m now envisioning Don and a dozen or so member entourage walking through the convention like a video or audio recording crew. All with shirts on representing every site and podcast Don has provided content and feedback for! 🤣😉

My sons do not understand the concept of commercials. It's really cute.
Do they watch sports yet?

Considering what just happened, love to go back in time and edit in some crap about Brooklyn fans in that Nassau Coliseum event promo of Bret’s “...hell, over in Brooklyn they’ve actually come out of the stands and attacked me!”

Hey Mike Graham, did Jeff Jarrett ever sell a ticket?

Vince, in the iconic red announcing blazer, is in the 1980s LJN WWF figure line.
Bobby Heenan and Jesse Ventura are in the same line, but in their managerial and wrestling attire respectively.

I’m not sure the NAO will go in on their own now, at least not as the WWE’s Hall is currently contructed, and Kip’s involvement with AEW, but it now just seems weird that a HOF tag team was facilitated in a C-Show mid-card angle by a HOFer, in the same Class, long past his shelf date doing a “I need a protege” angle.
And before anyone says DiBiase-Austin, Austin as The Ringmaster was pushed to be at an upper-mid card/JTTS level. Hired to be a “good mechanic” he debuts on the main show, Raw, acts like he “belongs” and was slated to have a final few guys left push in The Rumble. Bland and crappy named gimmick aside, it wasn’t like he was some low level, C-show act the way The Roadie and Rockabilly were for most of 1997.

Kirk and McCoy as Bryan Johnson and Walt Flanagan is in my head now...though McCoy is the technically the quippy Steve-Dave to the boss Kirk.
Which is the opposite of the Mallrats characters...and we don’t need to go down that rabbit hole

It's not set in stone that 2020 is the year of the franchise, because I'm wary of doing 3 themed years in a row.
Lundgren.......maybe. Not opposed to the suggestion at the very least.
I’ll reiterate Liam Nesson.
So Michael Collins, Taken, discussion of the Hollywood Babble-On bit, and you just need a third film

Did I miss something, but did you guys cover the infamous Shatner "sabotage" outtake? Where he literally tells the guys in the booth "I'm not changing the way I say this word!"
Or was that not for TAS? -
The breaks aren’t, or shouldn’t be a big issue with listeners since you still consider the show a rewatch/index show, as opposed to a recap/speculation one.

If you get a chance, I'd recommend the Attitude Era podcast which is hosted by 3 university chums under 30. The main host is Irish and watched the entire era (defined as WM14 to WM17) contemporaneously, whereas his English colleagues have respectively watched the latter half of the era at the time, and wasn't watching wrestling at all at the time.
I bring this up because the guy who didn't start watching wrestling until 2006 (the poor guy) immediately took a dislike to the New Age Outlaws and managed to ruin them for the other hosts by pointing out how formulaic they were.
I can see that happening to any “uber popular team.” The New Day, as an example, I can see being picked apart by a newbie coming at it nearly 10 years after they were at their peak.
Probably didn’t help that by 2006 the tag scene was pretty cooled off that it would take until the rise if Usos & New Day to get back to the levels of its late Attitude Era (E&C, Hardys, Dudleys) glory.

Semper Guy killed me!
It really was sheer luck, right place/right time for the NAO to become one of the Fed’s greatest tag teams.
To think of the drek they came out of (including an at the end LOD, and Billy as a multiple time tag champ) and the divison renaissance that occurred just after their incredibly short run, when you think about it, on top ends, it is amazing how they are still seen as actual legends (not the branding of former superstars).
Yes being in DX during the height of their face populartiy helps, but as I said, that is where luck played a part in their place in history.

Another example of "see how long ago this was recorded" with the quip of no minis blood feuds in today's WWE.
Of course not that Tortino and Hornswoogle is on the level of even a long standing mid-card feud, but it was a multi-PPV feud that is still kinda, sort of ongoing on the WWE's YouTube show The JBL & Cole show.
Now its, the show has been going on so long that this show has been going that 3MB's McIntyre and Mahal had been released, done their things outside of the E, and then both have been brought back into the fold a while ago!

A great quip making the rounds of the wrestling boards that I frequent was watch for Rick Bognar to take the stage either with, or in place of Scott Hall at the HOF inductions the night before WrestleMania when it was announced that the gimmick "Razor Ramon" was to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame (presumably "Scott Hall" will be in a group induction of the nWo).
Also, after Bognar and Jaccobs' Diesel disappeared from WWF TV, they did angles with the characters in Memphis to pretty much kill off the stench of the "impostor Razor & Diesel" gimmick.
Which reminds me of a funny "guy trying way too hard to be a smark" story, but remind me when you guys hit October to tell it, since it involves Kane =
Good thing I jumped in here, remind me in May when you get to the go-home for Bad Blood =;)

It isn’t the usual wrestling announcer hyperbole to say this is the go home week to one of the most pivotable nights in the history of pro-wrestling.
Hard to believe how different the landscape was a year later, though events to come (mismanagement of Bret in WCW, Shawn’s layoff due to injury, addiction and douchebaggery, The Rock’s IC reign, etc) would solidify it, this is pretty much the flashpoint for WWF eventually taking control in the Monday Night War.
