Union Cane

For better or for worse, we have to respect anyone who is a World Heavyweight Champion in the Rocky Universe. Union Kane would challenge a very disoriented Rocky Balboa when he came back from Russia from his fight against Ivan Drago. The fight never materialized due to Balboa’s retirement, but Kane did win a tournament to become the vacant champion; a belt he held until Tommy Gunn destroyed him.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Rocky V (1990)
Actor:
Michael Williams
Why You Should Vote For Him:
There really is not a good one. He was a background figure despite being a world champion.
Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
When we did see him fight, he got his ass handed to him Tommy Gunn.

Sometimes we are convinced that Dreamworks can do no wrong. In the cute animated film, Turbo, we meet an ordinary garden snail that has a need for speed, and through a freak accident is able to achieve just that and gets to compete at the Indianapolis 500. Seriously, did you ever think when you were young that animation would come this far and would suck you in this much? Honestly, we think we have a sleeper candidate here.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Turbo (2013)
Actor:
Ryan Reynolds
Why You Should Vote For Him:
Well, he does win the biggest auto race in the United States after all! (unless you think that it is Daytona)
Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
Should we play the cartoon card here?

Although he technically wasn’t the star of Necessary Roughness, Wide Receiver, Terrence “T.K.” King was the catalyst that necessitated bringing in a sports therapist in the first place. Part OchoCinco, part Moss and part T.O., King was the flashy head case that was why you stayed tuned to the show.
The Bullet Points:
T.V. Show Appeared:
Necessary Roughness (2011-13)
Actor:
Mechad Brooks
Position Played:
Wide Receiver
Played for:
New York Hawks & New Jersey Bobcats
Why You Should Vote For Him:
You have to appreciate stars.
Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
The show did not gain enough traction to make him a true pop culture icon.

In 1984, the United States dominated the Olympic Summer Games in a way that had never done before; though the boycott of the Soviet Bloc certainly helped. This made temporary stars of the American male gymnasts, one of which, Mitch Gaylord, gave us the horrific American Anthem, where he played…wait for it…a gymnast.
The film tanked and once again Hollywood remembered that the U.S. only cares about male gymnastics for two weeks every four years. So much for the film career of Mitch Gaylord, but at least it wasn’t Kurt Thomas’ Gymkata.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
American Anthem (1986)
Actor:
Mitch Gaylord
Why You Should Vote For Him:
This was not Gymkata.
Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
Sorry, but nobody cares about male gymnasts.
