I'm afraid my wrestling fan days are long over but this latest news to emerge on The Dark Knight Rises is pretty cool. Reportedly, TNA wrestler D’Angelo Dinero will be one of Bane's henchman in the upcoming conclusion to Nolan's Batman trilogy. As many of you know, Nolan often puts known celebrities in bit parts and creates some memorable scenes that really stay with you after the film. Remember the banker in the opening moments of The Dark Knight or how about that pencil scene?
