Pro wrestling’s nWo will manage indy league baseball team

So far this season, the Bridgeport Bluefish of the independent Atlantic League have been managed by Roger Clemens, Ozzie Guillen and Jennie Finch, but those aren’t nearly as sweet as the next trio of Bluefish managers.

The club announced that for its game Friday against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs, it will have three managers that fans of professional wrestling will most certainly recognize: Kevin Nash (aka Diesel), Scott Hall (aka Razor Ramon) and Sean Waltman (aka X-Pac).

Collectively, you know them as nWo, perhaps wrestling’s most famous heel stable after the Four Horsemen. According to the Bluefish, the trio of grapplers will manage the team on the field, plus throw out of the first pitch and participate in a pre-game meet-and-greet.

While it’s certainly a fun promotion that wrestling fans will mark out for, we have to wonder what these three know about managing a baseball game. Further, how might a baseball game be different when managed by pro wrestlers? A few questions:

• If they don’t like a call, might Hall skip arguing with an umpire and just hit him with his Razor’s Edge finishing move?

• Will the centerfielder run in from behind the base runner on second base and hit him with a steel chair?

• Might the Bluefish catcher throw salt in a batter’s eye while after throwing the ball back to the pitcher (R.I.P. Mr. Fuji).

For the record, if all these things happened, we’d definitely buy a ticket.
