10 News Stories You May Have Missed (Aug 29 – Sept 5)

3. Cal Bloom’s New Name

Oh no. Sorry, Cal Bloom. WWE has a track record of renaming promising talent with less than ideal names, hello Lucky Cannon, Viking Experience, Chilly McFreeze, Dean Ambrose, and a whole host of others.

But in recent years WWE has allowed a lot of incoming talent to keep the name they used in other promotions, like Adam Cole, Samoa Joe and Ricochet.

Well, it seems their patience has run out because now we’re getting new names like the one that Cal Bloom in the Performance Center has been saddled with: Von Wagner. Just gonna let that hang. Von Wagner.

Nothing says WrestleMania main eventer like Von Wagner. He’s doomed to fail, sorry Cal Bloom.

2. Omos Made An O-Mess

Do you remember the tallest man you’ve ever seen? I do, it’s Omos. I’m told so every Monday on Raw. But as we’ve seen with The Big Show, it’s always, unequivocally, incontrovertible great television any time a big man gets emasculated, right?

Well, Omos got a little bit embarrassed in the Performance Center, as he revealed on Rasslin with Brandon F Walker.

WWE had what they call ‘PC Lives’, and just before WrestleMania 35, they held one of these PC Lives, and because it was right around Mania, a lot of WWE legends were present, such as Undertaker and Batista.

The talent were informed to bring dress attire, and by his own admission, Omos likes his dress pants skinny. Then they got told to do rehearsals and hop over the top rope, so he did. Once, twice, three times, and on the fourth time, his dress pants ripped.

As he said on the show, he was in front of Undertaker, Batista and Triple H, and his butt was hanging out. His words, not mine.

1. The Rock-elganger

And finally, today, look at this man that looks exactly like The Rock. That’s it, that’s the whole story.

Look. Look how much he looks like The Rock. That’s Dwayne The Cop Johnson. The Brahma Pig. Can you smell what the rock is bacon?

Dwayne acknowledged it on Twitter, because yeah of course he did, he looks exactly like him. Look, it’s been a sad week all things considered, it’s nice to end on a weird little bit of color in an otherwise uncompromisingly grey world.

This man looks like the rock. That’s it.
