This blurry photo posted on Twitter of an athletic-looking black man with a mohican and a Balotelli jersey walking into a WWF event in Liverpool last night set temporary shockwaves off across the internet. Not because Mario had seemingly defected from the Italian camp in Florence to watch Sheamus et al, but because he was apparently out in public wearing a Balotelli jersey. How badly did we all want to believe this?! Sadly though, as if in honour of a famed pro wrestling trope of using clones or stand-in's as fake versions of established stars, this Balotelli was a fake Balotelli.
Until Balotelli's next exploit.
