WWE looks to break Guinness World record at WM 28
 
Quote:

After the California Angels received publicity for setting a Guinness world record on May 10 for most costume masks worn at a single gathering, WWE discussed taking a stab at the record next year at WrestleMania XXVIII.

Company officials have discussed holding a singles match between Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara at the event. Should it occur, it will be the match where WWE aims for the record
Do you think they can pull it off?

Londoner 05-18-2011 10:23 PM

Er, why fucking bother? How about i dunno, making sure wrestlemania doesn't suck as the main priority this time? I'm sure they'd rather break this stupid 'record' though.

VSG 05-18-2011 10:24 PM

What is the current world record?

Juan 05-18-2011 10:24 PM

I dunno about you, but a Sin Cara/Mysterio match would be awesome. Everyone in the crowd in masks would be the icing on the cake.

Droford 05-18-2011 10:26 PM

Cody Rhodes should bring back the bag heads.

70,000 people wearing paper bags on their heads would be awesome, and the environmentalists would be going fucking nuts about it.

Londoner 05-18-2011 10:26 PM

Yeah it should be a great match, not fussed about this mask stuff though.

#1-norm-fan 05-18-2011 10:27 PM

Yeah, if Vince wanting to break the highly coveted 'Most masked people in a single gathering" world record is what it takes for a Mysterio-Sin Cara match @ WM, I'm for it.

Buy a ticket, get a collectable mask. Reason to charge an extra $15 for tickets for something that costs like $2 to make = more money at the gate and publicity for it.

Someone went to business college...

Droford 05-18-2011 10:29 PM

:y:

If they give the masks away for free, or a highly discounted price, I could see it. If you had to buy the full priced mask, I don't see enough people doing it.

I agree with the person who said it should be Cody Rhodes who breaks this record with Paper Bag masks. 70,000+ people with blank paper bag stares. ALL NIGHT. :y:

DLVH84 05-18-2011 11:41 PM

I say there's no chance in hell that's going to happen. If WrestleMania was held in Mexico City, then maybe. Other than that, they can hang that shit up.

CSL 05-18-2011 11:49 PM

They could easily do this as long as they're giving away the masks, be it under seats or upon entry. Would probably look great.

That would be cheating, on my book. LOL

VSG 05-18-2011 11:52 PM

You are just jealous the Japs didn't think of this.

Droford 05-19-2011 12:14 AM

they could have Yoshi Tatsu vs some new random japanese wrestler and have 70,000 people banging thundersticks for the whole 4 hours

Well then the original record doesn't stand according to you, because they were giveaways.

screech 05-19-2011 12:26 AM

Could definitely be done if they give away the masks. It would add to the excitement of the event.

Jordan 05-19-2011 12:59 AM

That would be a serious Wrestlemania moment, how could anyone think this would prevent Wrestlemania from being good?

Droford 05-19-2011 02:08 AM

The crowd gets pissed off and starts chunking the masks towards the ring for the whole shows?

Lock Jaw 05-19-2011 02:22 AM

*After John Cena wins*

Josh Matthews: And here come the masks!
Vince (backstage): Oh, no! No, don't do that! You're suppose to be wearing them!
Josh Matthews: Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler now in the ring, pleading with the crowd for... for some kind of sanity.
Booker T: Uh-oh, and a barrage of masks now knocking Lawler unconscious.
Josh Matthews: Wow. This is uh... This is a black day for entertainment.

#1-norm-fan 05-19-2011 02:33 AM

It would sound more like...


*After John Cena wins*

Josh Matthews: And here come the masks!
Vince (backstage): Oh, no! No, don't do that! You're suppose to be wearing them!
Josh Matthews: Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler now in the ring, pleading with the crowd for... for some kind of sanity.
Booker T: Josh, deez masks man, these crowd ain't foolin' man. You eva been got stuff thrown at you i's soft but man, deez masks dey gon' get eaten alive up there in that ring right now.
Josh Matthews: Wow... What?

Yeah, wasn't thinking of this late last night when posting. It would be a nice moment.

Especially if they do the giveaway split halfway down the hard camera side, with half Sin Cara and half Mysterio.

Sixx 05-19-2011 05:07 AM

Stupid.

People don't care about wrestling as much, so I doubt it.

Schlomey 05-19-2011 09:00 AM

Rey vs Cara would be awesome and a sea full of white/blue masks would be quite a WM moment. I dunno I like it.

voncouch 05-19-2011 09:44 AM

I think this would be a cool gimmick if they gave out 2 different masks: both for Mysterio and Sin Cara. It would be awesome to have the crowd split between the two. It would even work for face vs face, which usually suck for the most part.

Citi Field doesn't hold that many.

That's what I was thinking. They could really make a good feud out of this and have people choose. Kind of like Leno/Conan and have Team Cara vs Team Mysterio. Obviously Mysterio is way more popular so they have a lot of work to do this year but I really think it could be huge. It could also increase wwe.com traffic if they have interactive things to go along with it.

like "who would you choose" or whatever.

This is a brilliant idea. Would be an awesome way to do a face vs face match, maybe have it as the opener, get some special shit going straight away. Sigh. Hope something even remotely close to this happens.

XCaliber 05-19-2011 12:05 PM

I'd love to see the match but couldn't give two shits about a stupid record.

RVDmark 05-19-2011 12:40 PM

1000's of masks from V for Vendetta would be better.

The Jayman 05-19-2011 12:43 PM

70,000 Kane masks

I dunno, Sin Cara would end up spoiling the whole moment by doing one of his VINTAGE BOTCHES
