kevin nash

Sunday, January 30th, 2011

When WCW introduced the New World Order, Nash was there to lead the way, and become a multi-time World Champion with that organization. [1]

Nash at the Big Apple Convention in Manhattan, October 2, 2010. [...] Nash has wrestled under various ring names, but is most notably known by his real name in World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and in World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (WWF/E), where he was known as Diesel in his first run with the company. [2]

Vegas and Page teamed up for a short run as the Vegas Connection but a year later, Nash, renamed Diesel, was in WWE, acting as the bodyguard of Shawn Michaels. [1]

He is also a one-time WWE Intercontinental Champion and a two-time TNA Legends (now known as Television) Champion. [2]

Although at first Diesel was simply the silent muscle in Michaels’ corner, he soon became active in the ring, defeating Razor Ramon (Scott Hall) for the Intercontinental Championship on April 13, 1994. [1]

It’s no wonder that Kevin Nash, better known as BIG SEXY to his fans, is one of the most well known personalities in the wrestling business and has established himself not only in the realm of sports, but in the entertainment world as well. [...] He played basketball for the University of Tennessee and headed overseas for several years where his dream of becoming a pro-basketball player came true, playing for various European teams. [3]

He has achieved notable success in the tag team division as well, being a twelve-time world tag team champion: nine times in WCW, two times in WWF and once in TNA. [2]

WCW Superstar Series: Kevin Nash - The Outsider! [4]

Kevin Scott Nash (born July 9, 1959) is an American professional wrestler and actor, who is currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment. [2]

Kevin grew up in Detroit, Michigan with dreams of playing on a professional basketball team. [3]

Diesel was the last wrestler eliminated in the Royal Rumble 1996 by Shawn Michaels, which eventually led to a rift between the two men. [...] After two weeks of Scott Hall appearing on WCW programming and taunting announcers, wrestlers, and the company, Nash finally debuted alongside his friend on June 10, 1996. [2]

Diesel successfully defended the WWE title against Bret Hart at the Royal Rumble when the match ended in a draw due to massive outside interference from Backlund, Michaels, Owen Hart, Jeff Jarrett and the Roadie (BG James). [1]

bad day at black rock

Sunday, January 30th, 2011

Bad Day at Black Rock is a 1955 thriller film directed by John Sturges that combines elements of Westerns and film noir. [1]

Sturges is best-known for his action-suspense movies (Gunfight at the OK Corral, The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape); in his hands, the story of Bad Day at Black Rock — a good-guy stranger comes to town and ends up the object of town hatred — slowly comes to a boil. [2]

Bad Day at Black Rock (1955) is both a tightly-written, suspenseful, dramatic action film (with film noirish qualities) and a western. [3]

In 1945, John J. Macreedy (Spencer Tracy), a handicapped war veteran, steps off the Southern Pacific passenger train at the desert hamlet of Black Rock. [1]

Spencer Tracy is John J. MacReedy, a one-armed stranger who comes to the tiny town of Black Rock one hot summer day in 1945, the first time the train has stopped there in years. [2]

A big-shouldered, one-armed stranger John J. Macreedy (Spencer Tracy) steps off the Streamliner train at the lonely, isolated crossroads of the Southwestern desert town of Black Rock. [3]

Hastings, the telegraph agent, learns that Macreedy wants to visit nearby Adobe Flat, whereupon he immediately telephones Pete Wirth, the hotel keeper. [4]

Reno Smith (Robert Ryan), who acts as the town’s authority figure, informs Macreedy that Komoko no longer lives in Black Rock; as a Japanese-American he was interned during World War II. [1]

Doc Velie wonders aloud why Smith, Coley, Hector, Pete and Sam are so worried about the stranger, but Smith silences Doc and orders Hastings to get information about Macreedy’s identity from a private detective in Los Angeles. [4]

The two men who emerge from the car are Coley and Reno Smith (Robert Ryan), the town’s boss - they both watch Macreedy with a mixture of indifference and disdain. [3]

For example, during the discussion scene on the railroad tracks about 27 minutes into the film, the clouds above the mountains at the tracks’ vanishing point appear in wide shots and disappear in tight shots. [5]

Shaken but unhurt, Macreedy returns to Black Rock, where Coley calls him a roadhog. [4]

Including posters, Academy Awards history, film genres, film terms, film history by decade, trivia, and lots of lists of ‘best’ films, stars, scenes, quotes, resources, etc. [3]

One of the first Hollywood films to deal openly with white racism toward Japanese Americans during World War II, this drama directed by 1950s action maestro John Sturges (The Great Escape) stars Spencer Tracy as a one-armed stranger named MacReedy, who arrives in the tiny town of Black Rock on a hot day in 1945. [6]

From the time John J. Macreedy steps off the train in Black Rock, he feels a chill from the local residents. [5]
