    Ex-baseball star Granden Goetzman, nicknamed the 'Human Bazooka', made a shock appearance at All Elite Wrestling (AEW) with a face full of tattoos.

    Goetzman, 30, cut his teeth with a totally different sport, as a batter in Minor League Baseball, and was a round two draft pick for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2011 despite never making the Major League, before transitioning to professional wrestling.

    The once fresh-faced Goetzman appeared at the wrestling event with Swerve Strickland last night covered in tats and with a bizarre hairdo.

    Sean Sapp revealed the identity of the mystery man that had gripped wrestling fans, and he reportedly trained at Jay Lethal’s school prior to his AEW Dynamite debut.

    Goetzman had played professional baseball right up until last year in Mexico, reports state.

    Sources told Ringside News that he had been "training for quite some time in preparation for his All Elite Wrestling debut".

    He had even been backstage at AEW Dynamite back on October 10.

    "Those that we’ve spoken to indicated that this debut was planned out at the very least a couple of weeks in advance," the site reported.

    Last night the man himself shared clips of the bout on his Instagram page with the handle @kingoftheklondike.

    It comes after former WWE legend Chris Jericho posted a photo of his incredible physique at the age of 52 in a not-so-subtle message to critics who have hit out at his figure in recent years.

    And fans were quick to praise the multi-time world champion, who now calls AEW, his home.

    His selfie was part of his mission to hit back at fans who, in 2020, slammed him for having a “dad bod”.

    Wearing leather rock pants, and nothing up top, the Canada-native simply caption the image “52…”.
