Loss Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'd like to see Michael Parks take on Vince McMahon, just to see if he could pull it off. I have a feeling that he could. The guy is an amazing character actor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.S. Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 No one except Tom Cruise can be Eric Bischoff. I can see Tom being way out of the price range and having to settle for Ted McGinley. Â I actually prefer this to Cruise. McGinley would perfectly capture the fake, plastic, game show vibe of "Easy E." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyonthewall2983 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 He played a boxer in a movie in the late 90's with bald head and goatee, and was a complete dead ringer for Austin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topropepodcast Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I'll first off state that it's a wrestler that would be pointless to cast, but I'm constantly struck at how much Michael Bennett looks like Aaron Paul since he cut his hair.

flyonthewall2983 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 It would be in no way possible because of the size differences, but Clancy Brown (bad guy in Highlander, prison guard in The Shawshank Redemption) is a dead ringer for Andre. Â It's funny that someone brought up Pacino as Flair. It probably could have worked 20 years ago, even physically. I've been watching Heat on Cinemax lately (even though I've triple-dipped it on HV releases, I still catch it on TV when I can) and he had to have been in excellent shape during the shootout and especially the run he makes at the end in LAX where you see it's all him and not a double.

Guest The Jiz Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 That IAB head, Lt. Ed Tucker, from Law and Order SVU reminds me of that cocksucker Johnny Ace - sounds just like him and probably equally petty.

flyonthewall2983 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 The Flair-Pacino connection brings to mind a missed opportunity when WWE did all those Hollywood sendups leading up to WrestleMania 21. Their version of Glengarry Glen Ross with the Nature Boy as either Ricky Roma or Shelley Levene and Eric Bischoff as either the Alec Baldwin or Kevin Spacey character. I'd prefer Bischoff to the latter just to see Ric call him a see you next Tuesday over and over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
