The bigger they are, the more “money” you make

Floyd “I’ll Do Anythinmg For Money” Mayweather was apparently worth every penny that Vince McMahon spent to promote this fight and to get the undefeated boxer in the ring with a legitimate giant of a man. The fight was a little bit of a drag until Floyd started using a chair and brass knuckles and survived getting thrown around like a prom dress getting ripped off and tossed aside in a hotel room.

This isn’t the first time an athlete has stepped through the ropes of the squared circle; WM I had Ali, WM II had Dick Butkus and Joe Frazier, WM X had Pete Rose (who also appeared at WM XIV, and WM 2000), WM XI had LT and Reggie White, WM XIV had Tyson, and WM XV had Butterbean. All of these athletes (towards the later WMs) had a fat check at the end of their night and had tons of publicity. Whether it was positive or negative is irrelevant; any type of publicity is good publicity.

Mayweather will now be immortalized as the underdog who chopped down the Big Show, solidifying his place in the hearts of wrestling fans all over, be it because they do not like the Big Show, or because they respect his tenacity, his fight, his dedication, or (what they really should respect) his acting. The likes of Ali, Frazier, and Butkus were ambassadors for a growing phenomenon and were at Wrestle Mania because they were sports icons. Unfortunately, their names are now listed with people who demand 7-figure checks just to wave at the fans and take some pictures, and dance around the ring.

No disrespect to Vince McMahon’s genius for making a profit, but sometimes the cost of that profit is having people who used to watch wrestling as a kid and followed the story lines as if we were middle-aged women eating Bon-Bons watching Days of Our Lives become annoyed at the sh*t-show that has become the WWE.

Now, with all that said, I will continue to watch it because it’s actually funny how ridiculous the plots have become… and the Divas, well they could all get it, and by get it, I mean they are worthy of sleeping with, and by sleeping with, I mean having them get nakies, and by nakies, I mean intercourse, and by intercourse…you get the picture
