  3. Suggest future actors for the HAA! spotlight

    Liam Nesson.  

    If only for Ian to have a go with Michael Collins and for Pandy and The Orgs to discover and discuss a...well...a humor page dedicated to a certain endowment Nesson is reported to have.

    BTW I only know of the certain site from a podcast that has used it for a running end of their shows bit for many years now.  Cheeky as all hell, but meant in fun one time after learning of Nesson’s legend, and just snowballed into a long running and fan interactive bit since.

    I listened to this again today and the dog howling in the background at 1:41:14 cracked me up. I must have listened to that five times.

    It reminds me of a couple times where my Beagle decided she needed food while I was on the phone. So she walked over to where I was sitting stand started howling at me.

    "OK, sorry but I will call you back in a minute. She gets fed at 7:30 and I am five minutes late. She will not shut up until I get her some food."

    I never knew dogs could tell time, until I got a Beagle.

    Could be worse, my sister has a labradoodle that ALWAYS wants food!

    It's pretty amazing looking back, how he transformed from "milquetoast babyface commentator" to the Mr. McMahon character.

    Didn't Bischoff do the "evil authority figure" first?

    Yup.  In the lead up to Hogan-Piper at Starrcade ‘96 Bischoff was revealed to be in the nWo.

    Also either that same night as the MSG Raw, or the week before, footage of Nash powerbombing him off the GAB stage in 1996 was shown in a “SEE!  I TOOK THE MASSIVE BUMP FIRST” way in advance of Vince taking his first Stunner at the MSG Raw.

    Too bad for the podcast “Mr. McMahon” doesn’t become a true character until after Austin wins the title.  Between Montreal and then he’s more or less building what the character will be with here and there appearances (stripping Austin of the IC belt, the “Bret screwed Bret” interview, Tyson announcement).

    Granted, we're 20 years out and my memory is a bit fuzzy, but I always thought that the basis for the HBK/Taker feud was really weak.

    HBK tried to help Taker, and failed. I can see where you would be irritated, but seeking "revenge" for someone trying to help you?

    Really?

    It did help that Shawn made a turn to be a kayfabe heel of his IRL persona!

    Yes, I know it's a storyline and Alexa Bliss is a heel. (I cannot believe I have to say this.) But that makes it worse. Because this misogynistic idiocy was approved by management.

    Did Stephanie McMahon - who is three years older than Mickie James, by the way - approve of this storyline?

    At least its much better than LayCool’s Mean Girls act body shaming her.

    Too be honest, IDK, you do get “new guy mocks an old vet’s “age”” in promos often.  Maybe not as “Mean Girls” bullying as Bliss was to Mickie.  (How many times has Undertaker’s veteran status been brought up in his WM match build) 

    Or maybe we’re being too hyper sensitive when it happens to a non-white male, IDK.  But they, or something akin to “get out of my way old timer”, do occur as part of match builds.

    I shudder to think what could happen to him, and the title picture, if what happens in January to Shawn doesn’t.  

    Hell, he was still falling towards personal rock bottom at certain points in his first “in ring retirement.” To the point where Triple H was telling him to shape up or no more of the occassional appearances and roles he’d have over the course of those 5 years.

    Having just finished that YouTube video (I've not previously come across this channel) he does touch on a number of points that I do (and some I missed) whereas I've added a few more.

    LOL!  Just heard you guys put the call out for "any more inaccuracies to add!" 

    Glad to have obliged, even if I hadn't heard it before I did!

    That's a great channel, History Buffs, discussing various historical movies.  Including one of the very first films of a certain HA subject who I know neither one of you would dare do your imitation of =;)

    One thing that does bear mentioning in terms of Mel Gibson's attempts at rehabilitation, is that it kind of shines a bit of a light on what Hollywood allows you to come back from.  

    Trying to be delicate here, and BTW, Donovan's podcast Questions We Don't Have Answers delves into celebrity rehab (not to be confused with the reality TV program where celebs check themselves into substance abuse rehab centers) in an interesting episode, but Mel Gibson was up for a silly cameo role in the Hangover sequel.  I forget who ended up getting the role, but when it was announced the cast all put their foot down and said that they wouldn't work with Gibson. 

    Which is fine, and within their rights to pull such a power play, BUT, they seemed more than willing to interact with a convicted rapist and possibly psychotic human being in Mike Tyson in the previous Hangover movie.  Though I guess to be fair, that was their first movie together, so I'd guess they didn't have a lot of veto power when it came to who to bring in for a cameo shot.  

    But just so we are clear, guy goes on alcohol fueled and anti-Semitic meltdowns, and they are the scourge of the Earth and absolute pariah.

    Guy is convicted of rape, God knows what else he's done to women he's encountered, literally bit an opponent's ear in a shoot boxing match, but because he's did his time and all that was years in the past, as well as having a silly voice and is quite possible insane, he can find work in a screwball comedy.
