Thanks, Shane-O-Mac

[KingofOldSchool]

Early booking plans call for a couple of matches on the SummerSlam card featuring Jackass cast members, by themselves, or teamed with WWE faces vs WWE heels.

Shane McMahon is the one behind the upcoming Jackass angle to be played out on TV over the summer building towards SummerSlam. Shane has wanted to bring them back since the last time they were used in WWE, when they were laid out by Umaga. It was then that Shane wanted to do a longer term angle with them but Stephanie and Triple H disagreed because they felt the Jackass members could not be trusted to do the right thing for wrestling. Vince, in the middle, never gave an answer thus it was not given approval. Since the last time Jackass was on WWE TV, and up until WrestleMania, the ratings have been stong so there was no pressure for Vince to make a decision on the Jackass angle. Recently the USA Networks have come down on WWE for lower ratings and now Vince has agreed.

The last time the Jackass members were used in WWE they rubbed alot of people the wrong way by not selling to the wrestlers very good in matches. Umaga had even gotten rough with Steve O to send a message, but did not hurt him. When the WWE was in Tampa for Monday Night Raw on June 4th, Steve O was backstage pissing a lot of people off. Besides being his usual crazy self and not having dressing room etiquette, Steve O had a camera crew with him the entire time, secretly filming, for his upcoming Paparazzi Stuntman DVD. They filmed wrestlers going over finishes ahead of time. They tried filming the wrestlers changing but that was stopped. They even filmed creative going over promos and match details with wrestlers. When Vince found out about all of this he damn near cancelled the whole Jackass angle, but was talked out of it by Shane. Now it appears Shane will be playing backstage babysitter all summer and lots of people are expecting several incidents to happen.

Jackass members already signed for the angle are: Steve O, Chris Pontius, Wee-Man, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, and Preston Lacey. Johnny Knoxville has yet to agree because he is still in talks. Rake Yohn turned down the angle. Ehren McGhehey and Dave England were not offered a spot.

As previously rumored, Triple H is likely to return at SummerSlam for a match with Randy Orton. That match, along with the Jackass match(es) will be co-promoted as the main events.

SummerSlam was originally going to be used by WWE to build to the future. Original ideas included: DX vs Team RKO, Triple H vs Edge or Randy Orton, and Vince vs Rey Mysterio.

For the first time ever, Shane McMahon wins the "Worst McMahon of the Week" award.

[IC Champion]

Except Summerslam will probably suck anyway.

[IC Champion]

And I'm sure Vince or Steph did much worse, we just dont know yet

[KingofOldSchool]

Yeah I mean who needs Edge to headline one of the company's biggest shows of the year when they've got a bunch of tards to come in and give nothing worthwhile to the show.

[Xero]

Okay, if they're in one tag match, whatever. But if they are in more than one, or what sounds like the ENTIRE FUCKING UNDERCARD, I will be PISSED.

[KingofOldSchool]

SELL
SELL
SELL

For the first time ever, Shane McMahon wins the "Worst McMahon of the Week" award.

Vince is going to announce a John Cena Umaga Evening Gown match (Not Tuxedo match, folks...) in an attempt to hold the award.

Sadly, ioy'll only be a lateral move.

So the last time these guys were in WWE, they didn't sell Umaga. He looked like a bigger joke than usual. Why would they even bother bringing them back?

[CSL]

<font color=white>If they have sombody teaming with them to carry the actual wrestling, don't have a problem with it. Bam, Dunn & Steve-O can all take a sweet bump. As long as it's a gimmick match with wrestlers who can take a bump on the other side and it'd probably be fine. Should draw the interest of the non wrestling liking Jackass/dumb stuff with a video camera fans. Just not for a main event.

Need to learn to sell too.</font>

[Blitz]

You know, I'm actually looking forward to this match, just to see how much of a trainwreck it'll be.

[Gerard]

Why the fuck does triple h have a say in anything anyway? He's banging the boss's daughter and tounging vinces balls, big fucking deal. :wtf:

[FourFifty]

THIS JUST IN!!!!!!!!!!

Shane is out of his fucking mind.

[Xero]

THIS JUST IN!!!!!!!!!!

Shane is out of his fucking mind.
I'd say he's going a bit early. Vince didn't go until his 50's....

[Blitz]

lol imagine they booked Hardcore Holly into that match. What a rib that'd be.

[Skippord]

Call me crazy but I think it could be kinda awesome

[thedamndest]

Why don't they bring Robocop back in?

[PepperCarrotMan]

Why don't they bring Robocop back in?

That would be the greatest night in the history of our sport!

[hb2k]

Holy fuck, imagine it.

Bam Margera, Steve-O, Party Boy, Ryan Dunn, and Preston Lacey Vs. JBL, Hardcore Holly, Finlay, Umaga and Benoit

[Dorkchop]

That would be so bizarre!

[KingofOldSchool]

They should bring Brock Lesnar back for this match.

[KingofOldSchool]

Oh and if we don't see Wee-Man vs. Hornswoggle, I will choke a bitch.

[Xero]

They should bring Brock Lesnar back for this match.
Jackass vs. Steve-O?

[FourFifty]

Holy fuck, imagine it.

Bam Margera, Steve-O, Party Boy, Ryan Dunn, and Preston Lacey Vs. JBL, Hardcore Holly, Finlay, Umaga and Benoit

Take Benoit out.... Replace him with Mark Henry.:rofl:

[Dorkchop]

Mark Henry will injur four of them, but injur himself before he gets the chance to injur the rest of them

[Tazz Dan]

Jackass vs. Steve-O?

:rofl:

[Shadow]

See...this is only good as a train wreck sorta thing.

Which means we'll all watch because we want to see what happens next

[Amaroqwolf]

This disturbs me enough to come out of hiding...but I might acctually order it and figure out how to tape it...one of my friends is a HUGE Steve-o Mark....Oi, I havn't used that word in ages.

Anywho, toodles.

[AdrianM]

i'm kinda interested in this angle.

Personally, I love the jackass guys, and i love wrestling. so its a perfect mix for me :)

[Mr. Nerfect]

Holy fuck, imagine it.

Bam Margera, Steve-O, Party Boy, Ryan Dunn, and Preston Lacey Vs. JBL, Hardcore Holly, Finlay, Umaga and Benoit

Maybe replace Chris Benoit with William Regal? Benoit should be doing something meaningful. And Wee-Man must do a run-in and get taken out by Hornswoggle.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Oh, and this angle will suck the moment the WWE try to pass their guys off as heels against the face Jackass team. The only fun that will come out of this feud is that we know the Jackass guys are going to get the shit beaten out of them. With JBL, Hardcore Holly, Finlay and Umaga on the team, it will put the mark support behind the Jackass guys, but they should not try and make this face vs. heels. Make this a killing of the Jackass guys, and have the fans be allowed to pop for JBL stiffing the shit out of one of them with the Clothesline from Hell, etc.

Knowing WWE, they'll go over, be signed and be what Vince will call "This era's answer to the nWo"...

[KingofOldSchool]

You know what would be fun?

Wee-Man vs. Khali

[Theo Dious]

Knowing WWE, they'll go over, be signed and be what Vince will call "This era's answer to the nWo"...

...and then be released after 6 weeks.

[KingofOldSchool]

This would be the perfect opportunity to push Val Venis. Bam Margera could be in the ring cutting a promo when a video appears on the Titan Tron, the Jackass music is playing and the words "Val Venis in Jackoff."

Val Venis is laying in a bed and he proclaims that after a long "lay-off", he has finally "cum" out of retirement. And for his return to film, he wanted to make a "big" impact. And what better way to make an impact than to create some major tension.

And then out from the covers comes Bam Margera's wife. And this leads to a Bam Margera vs. Val Venis match at Summerslam. This will be great for Val Venis as this gives him a major push. Val would defiantely go over Margera and then go on to feud with MVP for the Intercontinetal championship.

/end Alienoid rant

[Kane Knight]

No, That was actually entertaining. ;)

[Mooияakeя™]

Those darn McMahon's... they've only gone and taken the Million Dollar Man gimmick literally

[Arnold HamNegger]

Knowing WWE, they'll go over, be signed and be what Vince will call "This era's answer to the nWo"...

I could seriously see them doing a JWO. :nono:

[The Show Off]

This is a sign of the End times, TNA does a Jackass gimmick, and the WWE steals the idea? Wow next thing you know Val Venis really will get a push to the title.

[Amaroqwolf]

GOD NO! I don't wanna see Bam Margera's wife naked again...(wanders off)

[BigDaddyCool]

Wait, are we talking about WCW?

[Amaroqwolf]

Sadly no, were talking the WWE....(Sighs) I'm disturbed so very disturbed/

[Shadow]

GOD NO! I don't wanna see Bam Margera's wife naked again...(wanders off)

Yes...you should go away that way...*points*

Evil woman!

[Amaroqwolf]

Bam's wife is a stick thin, no assed, no boobed..thing....and she's whining and annoying....-_- she disturbs me....Bam should of hooked up with Ville Valo of Him and just fucking admited he was Gay....Le sigh. He's a closet case.

[Shadow]

You're a closet case!

No...a basket case!

[Amaroqwolf]

I know I'm a Basket Case.

I never denyed that now did I?

[Shadow]

He's not gay for Ville

So stop assuming he is!

[Amaroqwolf]

HE HIMSELF WAS QUOTED AS SAYING.......Well I showed you what he said so there!!!

[FourFifty]

Okay, if you're the kind of fellow who does not want spoilers, GET OFF THE FUCKING INTERNET!

On that note, if Jackass had anything to do with how Raw ended tonight I'm going to start a riot.

[Amaroqwolf]
