World Wrestling Entertainment is about to get a bit more of a Mile High flair.
Lars Sullivan and Otis Dozovic — whose real names are Dylan Miley and Nikola Bogojevic, respectively — are set to make their debuts on WWE’s main roster. The two have spent the last several years in NXT, the company’s developmental brand.
Dozovic and Tucker Knight will continue as the tag team Heavy Machinery on either “SmackDown” or “Raw.” The 5-foot-10, 310-pound Dozovic wrestled collegiately at CSU-Pueblo and had a stellar amateur career that includes a bronze medal in Greco-Roman wrestling at the 2014 Pan-American Games. For his in-ring persona, think Chris Farley meets Macho Man Randy Savage: Funny, entertaining, a bit odd, but a force to be reckoned with.
Sullivan, 30, grew up in Westminster and he , WWE superstar Bobby Lashley, according to Sports Illustrated. His muscular 6-3, 330-pound build coupled with a bald head and a Shenandoah beard makes for an intimidating sight. Expect him to be the next unstoppable object.
