Flamboyant former WWE and current Lucha Underground star Joey Ryan turns up opposite Riley in the same episode as Mr. Monopoly (another top notch name). The decision to hire real pro wrestlers for these bit parts is an extremely smart move, as it gives everything that added authenticity that hiring actors and training them simply wouldn't have managed.

And frankly, Ryan still looks like he's wrestling in the 80s.

His wife Laura James, who was trained by Gangrel and works the independent circuit now also appears in the same episode.
