The Nigerian GIANT Omos.

Did you see his caged fight with the Almighty : Hell in a Cell !

Guys like them make me like wrestling again, eventhough I am a football fan.

Not goddam rock and roll star like Seth "Freaking" Rollings.

Highlandgee:


As in!!! I've had to watch that fight over 10 times again!!

digitite:


Based on WWE rules, Omos lost when he threw the almighty out of the cell. There could be a rematch and this time the Almihty is going to hell for real.

Its good to know Omos has some home grown fans.

Highlandgee:


True. And Omos would have easily won that fight if not for the rules. He was already beating the hell out of the almighty. Really looking forward to a re-match

WWE Star, Omos – real name Toulope ‘Jordan’ Omogbehin, was born in Lagos migrated with his family to the US when he was young.

Omos recently shared with Afrotimes Newspaper the fascinating story of his life and of overcoming a tumor and other health conditions he has overcome.

He attended school/played basketball at Montrose Christian for the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 school years. He went on to attend and play for the University of South Florida before moving back to Maryland and attending/playing for Morgan State University. His college basketball career spanned from 2012 to 2015.

His WWE debut was in 2019 and his intimidating presence in the ring has brought him success. Omos was at the peak of his popularity when he was the efficacious bodyguard to the ‘Phenomenal’ AJ Styles.

Omos spoke about receiving an email related to a medical finding that he has a tumor in his head. Omos did not believe it until he took an MRI scan and the doctors confirmed it. But that was not the end. When one has a tumor, it changes the hormonal balance in them and Omos had to undergo further tests. “But in the process of doing the testing, they found that not only do they have the pituitary tumor, I had a gigantism and I have partial Cushing’s disease, which is very rare. Omos explained.

Moreover, his condition was a unique case in medical history as he had all three types of gigantism, unlike others, including WWE legend André the Giant. Fortunately, the quick intervention by the medical team saved his life. After all the physical struggles he underwent, Omos still managed to accomplish in the squared circle. Currently, he is healthy and doing well and appears on Monday Night RAW.

Omogbehin, at 7ft 3” is the third on the all-time list of tallest WWE superstars only after the late Giant Gonzalez – 8ft and Andre The Giant – 7ft 4″
