Poor Mojo Rawley has little to boast about. He isn't even the only former professional footballer to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, having been beaten to the punch by the similarly useless Baron Corbin. Still, he was fairly competent under the floodlights, drafted to the Green Bay Packers and Arizona Cardinals before injury put him on the sidelines. During his convalescence, WWE came calling - and apparently, ordered him to pack his eye black. It's been a match made in heaven since.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
