Then: Batista cosplay artist Mason Ryan was Punk's muscle in the New Nexus back in 2011. This was blatantly WWE's big bid to turn the Welshman into a superstar worth pushing, but it was doomed to fail. He'd never really get over before being released three years later in 2014.

Now: As examined elsewhere, Ryan has traded wrestling for the circus. He's the head archer in Cirque du Soleil's stage show Kà, and has toured the world dressed up like Kratos from the God Of War series. That's some gig if you can get it.

Of course, you need to look like Mason Ryan. There's that.
