Every Wrestling DEATH Ranked By Stupidity
21. Two Dimes Goes Swimming With The Fishes (WWE NXT)
Anybody who has even a passing interest in mob culture knows there's nothing especially funny about the mafia. Often, it's serious and gritty business, which is why WWE's very own nod to organised crime in 2022 is up first here. It was outlandish, but not in the same way as some others further up the list.
NXT's Tony D'Angelo planned to take care of the traitorous Troy 'Two Dimes' Donovan over the summer. On the 28 June 2022 episode of WWE's third brand, Tony revealed that he'd dealt with Donovan by “making him sleep with the fishes”. For the record, Troy was played by AEW/ROH's Cole Karter - he was only in WWE's system for a few months before being released, but did make it onto TV before being canned.
D'Angelo seemed especially proud of the way he'd handled 'Two Dimes'. WWE didn't go into any further details on exactly what fate had befallen Donovan, but it didn't take a genius to work out that he was wearing some concrete shoes whilst taking a dip. The character has never been heard from again, and he wasn't there long enough for people to identify him once Karter jumped to All Elite.
So, it's almost as though Tony did snuff out one of his foot soldiers for daring to do him dirty in NXT. Don't worry, things get a lot more bizarre the longer this list goes on. Mob hits seem practically tame compared to some of the nonsense pro wrestling has fed fans over the years.
Sleep well, 'Two Dimes'.
