Rockies Started a Thread of Players Compared to Wrestlers and It's Simply Phenomenal
By Michael Luciano
MLB teams looking for creative ways to keep fans engaged due to the postponement of the 2020 MLB season should follow the example set by the Colorado Rockies. Colorado's social media team created a thread of pictures that make Rockies players look like famous pro wrestlers.
Naturally, superstar third baseman Nolan Arenado got compared to Ric Flair. I mean, this is all absolute gold.
There aren't a ton of complete lookalikes on this team, unfortunately, but there are some players that look extremely similar to the best the WWE has to offer. Outfielder Raimel Tapia and Kofu Kingston might be long lost cousins going off of these two photos.
Outfielder Ian Desmond appears to look just a tad like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, which is just about the biggest compliment you can give a person.
The Rockies are clearly just as starved for baseball to come back as you and I are, but at least they've found a pretty creative way to pass the time. Let's see if other MLB teams follow their lead.
