10 Totally Bizarre WWE Moments You'd Never Remember Without This Article!
1. The Miz Asks Neville To Teach Him An English Accent
Back in 2015, rumours circulated that Daniel Craig was finished in the role of James Bond and that "Hollywood" was eyeing up his replacement.
Most forecast Idris Elba for the job. Impossibly handsome, progressive, hard as nails and as cool as f*ck: he was perfect.
Fewer people predicted that The Miz would be do well. He's a chickensh*t American wrestling heel who isn't particularly good at acting.
Nonetheless, he fancied himself for the job, but there was one small problem: he, as a yank, could not speak in a "British" accent. But he had a mutually beneficial plan, which being conceived in WWE basically told the audience that Neville had no charisma. Which is b*llocks, obviously, but that's just how they book.
In any event, Miz in a quickly dropped development said he'd make Neville "a star" in exchange for "authentic" accent training. There was a small issue, one that is delightful for those occupying WhatCulture Wrestling's freezing cold corner of the planet: Neville/PAC's geordie accent is not quite the debonair James Bond vintage. It's a working class dialect that isn't particularly intelligible to those that live 100 miles away.
"Heah dyee wanna be me Bond girl like? Yu've got waxa t*ts man!"
