The Wonders "Reunite"
Apr 27, 2017
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
For most people this isn’t news.
Of course, most people don’t own the Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
Last night at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, three of the four actors who portrayed “The Wonders” took to the stage and played their hit in both fiction and reality, “That Thing You Do”.
Present was Tom Everett Scott (Guy), Jonathan Schaech (Jimmy) and Ethan Embry (T.B. Player) and they donned matching white shirts and black ties. Scott, even put the shades back on for the impromptu reunion!
While most sites view this as a fluff piece, this is anything but to us!
We are a couple of weeks away from announcing our Semi-Finalists for the Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Wonders have reached that level in both of the years of our Hall’s existence.
Does this “reunion” bode well for the Wonders making our Hall?

Not in Hall of Fame News
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony of 2017 is in the books but that doesn’t mean that we can’t look forward to the 2018 version.
So far, we like what we see.
Cleveland will be the host of the ceremony, to be held at on April 18 at the Public Hall. It was last held there three years ago, a continuing pattern as it was also there in 2012 and 2009. HBO will again have the exclusive rights to broadcast the event.
Perhaps this will be the year that Notinhalloffame.com will attend!

Another day and another significant retirement in the National Football League…
Jake Long, the #1 Draft Pick from 2008 has announced that he is calling it quits after a nine year career.
Chosen by the Miami Dolphins, Long quickly showed why he was the number one pick by being named a Pro Bowl Selection in his rookie year. He would continue to compete at that level over the next three years, and would go to the Pro Bowl four times overall. In 2010, Long would be named a First Team All Pro Selection.
Long would play 104 Games in the National Football League and is not likely to be considered for the Pro Football Hall of Fame but he will be eligible for Canton in 2022.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Jake Long on a wonderful career and wish him the best in his post playing career.
