[1994-07-23-WWF-Superstars] Leslie Nielson

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Leslie Nielson temporarly stops his investigation to order Domino's, and a shadow of the Undertaker shows up and audibly says PIZZA in his Undertaker voice. Campy and hilarious, but again, this really happened?

[Kevin Ridge]

Lord Alfred Hayes appears to be one of Leslie Neilson’s suspects in Undertaker’s disappearance. They tie in the Summerslam sponsor with Undertaker delivering pizza which Neilson misses when he under the desk picking something up.

This didn't happen. It couldn't have.

Didn't think the angle could get any more cheesy till I saw this.

And like I said elsewhere, this couldn't have been a worse time for him to play up on his Frank Drebin character.

And like I said elsewhere, this couldn't have been a worse time for him to play up on his Frank Drebin character.

That's who he WAS for the last 25 years, at least to the public. Why else use him?

 

The confusing thing is, why use him for *this storyline*?

[flyonthewall2983]

I was referring to the trouble one of his co-stars was very publicly in at the time.

Leslie somehow manages to rise above this material and deadpan his way through it, and refrain from the incessant mugging to the camera that plagued his later work. Too bad his talents are wasted on such dreck.
