Hopefully Big Show pulls an Ozzy and bites Mayweather's head off like a bat. I can't believe they're paying that annoying shit $20 mil for this. That's probably more then they pay the entire Raw roster in a year, and it's to a BOXER??? Boxing isn't even popular anymore. Huge waste IMO.

I found this interesting.

LOL, theres no way they are actually paying him that much.

 

[MikeyBong]

Really? Do you believe that because McMahon's level-headed?

 

[eighteeschick]

And this guy doesn't believe Mayweather will be getting $20million.

Lets look at it this way.
WM on PPV $55
They shoot for a million ppv buys every year.
WWE recieves 40% of the PPV revinue.
Lets say they get a million buys. They end up making 22 million.
Why would they give most of what they made on the biggest show of the year to one person.

Basically what that blog said.

Makes sense.

Good point. I'm sure they just exaggerated it to get people talking about it. Well, it worked!

The WWE edits out most of the Great Khali's losses when they air the show in India. He is treated like a babyface and his opponents are ALWAYS the heels. Most of the fans in India think that wrestling is real, so the WWE has to protect Khali. He is considered a national hero to the fans in his country. I would assume that they may do this with some of the other foreign wrestlers as well

Did anyone catch the finale of VH-1’s Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew? The nineteenth day was graduate day for the cast. Chyna, who questioned why she was on the program, was confronted on the show to admit that she may be an addict. Chyna finally admitted that she might be an addict. She wouldn’t, however, agree to a three month sober living program, which was highly recommend by Dr. Drew Pinsky. Former UFC champion Ricco Rodiquez also opted not to enter the three month sober living program, even though the living quarters would be funded by the program.

- The WWE Cruiserweight title has been removed from the WWE superstar page. Maybe we'll never see it again.

3 hour Raw starts in about 15 minutes!

 

[MikeyBong]

PLEASE let Mayweather's arm be broken!!!

I know how bad that seems, but I really hate this guy, and not in the "He's the heel, so I'm supposed to hate him!" way either!

*edit* Looks like I may have my wish!

Its called X-Pac heat. When you get to the point where you just want someone off of your TV screen.

And the injury is a work. Some of the brawl however, was not.

 

[Joecephus]

X-Pac heat, heh --- me and my friends were sitting close to the entrance at the Invasion PPV, and we booed him hard

I think the WWE did the right thing, with the sort of double turn tonight, realizing their is no way in hell Mayweather can be the face. People just do not like him. I mean I don't think it will happen, but I still really, really hope that Big Show ignores the script at Wrestlemania and shoots on Mayweather.

The following is from WWE.com:

I don't know why but I am always shocked when I hear these things. Obviously I wasn't there, but I would find it hard to believe that he does steroids. I'd think it was more of a recreational drug. What a fucking dumb ass.

Hardy has a history with drugs, which led to his being fired a few years back. Damn shame, with the push he's had lately!
