At last night's WWE house show in Trenton, NJ, Mike "Nova" Bucci did his fitness character gimmick again.

He was announced to the crowd as "Simon Dean". According to PWInsider that was done as a rib on WWE agent Dean Malenko whose real name is Dean Simon. Malenko was in fact at last night's show, as he came out to watch the Randy Orton vs. Chris Benoit match.

It certainly sounds like the name that Bucci was given was an inside joke on the former member of The Radicals. We are unsure as to whether the "Simon Dean" name for Bucci is just a one night only plan, or whether WWE actually have plans to have him known as Simon Dean from now on.
