Uh-huh. :)
Well, the surname can mean 'sinner', 'fisherman' or 'angler'. Don't know why French uses the same word for sinners and fishermen, but perhaps they're really serious about the venial sin of lying about 'the one that got away'.

All three meanings are associated with Christianity, with J-Zizzle always sending men off to sin no more and promising to make his disciples into fishers/anglers of men. The double betrayal of Glock by his 'disciple' Ewert is suggestive either of Judas, of course (from method to motive, it all fits), or of Peter, who was a fisherman, though in that case, the third denial is missing. Fortunately, the divorce proceedings by Helga Glock and the allegations that Ewert hid millions in tax havens allows scope for a third denial... unless, of course, we want to claim that Ewert's wild accusations made in prison count as the denials.

Any time one hears 'fisher' in an occult or conspirational context, it recalls the Grail and the Fisher King, of course.

I'm afraid the significance of the wrestler's build escapes me, though Peter was, by all accounts, a powerful man.

Indeed so.
