POOR MAN'S WRESTLEMANIA!

NEXT!

Fabien, I've been hopping between channels on Justin.tv looking for one that's not laggy from all the traffic, too. Here's the one I'm on now: http://www.justin.tv/kensmarc

Because with the exception of Shawn Michaels, Jericho is one of maybe 3 guys who could carry Mickey to not only a decent set of promos but a watchable match? And it's a huge money maker/PR rush for WWE?

If you want live feeds for every wrasslin' show around: http://wrestling-fever.blogspot.com/

Go to it just before the show and you'll get your link.

:y:

AGAIN!

Super Bowl baby.

In fact, not only is it not a waste of Jericho's talent, it is a testament and compliment to his abilities that WWE would put him in that situation. And frankly, he's incredibly lucky to be there. He's going to become much more of a house hold name as result.

:y::y::yes:

I just had an idea:

HBK should lay down for Cena and screw JBL. It is then announced that Stephanie put HBK in the elimination chamber under the condition that if he wins the match, the McMahons will pay him a shitload of money. HBK and Randy Orton compete at WrestleMania. The McMahons agree to double HBK's "WrestleMania payday" if he takes out Randy Orton. The match is a no-dq match for the World Heavyweight Championship.

No classic HBK entrance?Meh.

Wasnt this on Raw 2 weeks ago? Come on! book it different.

Hmm, so this isn't the main event? Intriguing

That double Sweet Chin Music last night was sweet.

Very true HBM2k. But here comes Clark Kent

Cena needs to come out with Marty Jannety to even the odds.

I think they should fuse the two entrance themes together, like they did with Undertaker and Kane back in 2001. Have the Sensational Sherri moaning start, only to cut into JBL's music...

"AH! AAH! AAAH! .....MOOOOOOO!"

For fuck sake, WWE could make money off of Rourke without having him in a fucking match. Have him as a ref or something. Is Big Show a bigger name than ever because of facing Mayweather last year...or do people still not really care?

Actually I think it was a subtle and smart move. It takes away some of Shawn's pops, putting Cena over. And HBK is competing for his employer in this match, not himself. So why would JBL allow Michaels to put himself over?

Here is the thing...

Flair will be in Rourkes corner and cheat to help him win, because he would need to go over in WM fashion, and he cant beata main eventer clean.

You're comparing boxing to Hollywood. Nobody fucking cares about boxing.

He is a bigger name actually. Big Show would have never been a conversational topic on ESPN or within a lot of other networks if it hadn't been for that match. I remember being at work and people who loathe wrestling were talking about the Big Show. Rather a match falters in the wrestling circle or not, has no dictation on what level of a mainstream success it was.

And Mickey is bigger than Mayweather, and Jericho is a better choice than show so the results will be even more successful in terms of mainstream coverage.

lol

Is Bobby Lashley the biggest thing ever after being loved by Donald Trump? No.

I also wonder how much help RoH is getting from WWE supporting this movie now.

Mayweather vs The Big Show as a better match than I thought it would be.
Much better.

i think you're missing the part where rourke will probably be able to work a pretty solid match, while the people you are naming cannot/did not.

How many of them actually plopped down 60 bucks for WrestleMania? Probably the same number that put down 60 bucks for Big Show vs Akebono at WrestleMania 21.

Wait,they've missed out most of the match cause of adverts?

No, he's not. But you can't argue that he was a topic of mainstream entertainment during the angle. The only reason Lashley isn't bigger is because he didn't have the ability to carry that position. That's why WWE went with Jericho this time. He has the potential and charisma to be marketed towards that demographic.

Again, just because it's not successful in the wrestling circle does not mean it wasn't a successful business venture.

How come HBK still has the fake Chaps tie strings in the back of his tights, when they are all one piece?

Same with the belt buckle.

When did he ditch the old heart tights anyways, and did they ever say why?

Who the hell knows.

LOL MICHAEL COLE WILL NOT CALL THAT MOVE WHAT IT IS

Do you think it is odd to see the crossface?

HHH and HBK are the only 2 to use it.

Cena will never tap.

Why doesn't JBL just go punch HBK and get Cena DQ'ed

Interesting fact about assless chaps. All chaps are assless

You're arguing semantics. If one person purchased the show that wouldn't have before, it was successful. If WWE was on more mainstream television channels due to FREE publicity, it was successful. If one more person went to WWE.com to read about it, was raided by the PAID advertisement that WWE has on their site, it was successful.

This sort of stuff is about the monotony gain, and that happens when you use celebrity. This will be more successful because WWE was intellegent with their selection of what worker to put against Mickey. He has the cross-over appeal that Show doesn't, that Bam Bam didn't, and Bobby Lashley never could.
