"It's Cotto!" - Making a Wrestlemania Moment

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - Love it or hate, there’s no denying that the spectacle of professional wrestling has long had its place in popular culture. Over the last 20-plus years, the WWE’s Wrestlemania has been the center of that universe. Boxing was there at its inaugural outing, with Muhammad Ali serving as an ‘enforcer’ referee for the ‘titanic’ tag match pitting the team of Rowdy Roddy Piper and Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff against the combined force that was Hulk Hogan and Mr. T.

neeeeeeeeeever gonna happen, but it would be a VERY Memorable moment in boxing if it were to happen

This is the best idea ever!!! This would really stir things up in the Boxing world and would have ESPN like implications. Who could turn that story down? Mayweather on the biggest stage in sports entertainment, and the whole crowd at once is screaming "We Want Cotto!" and then to top things off!! Cotto comes out and is face to face with Mayweather. And the the Big Show hits Cotto from behind, and it turns out the whole thing was a set-up to get Cotto to come out! What an amazing event this would be!!! The World would be buzzing!!!!! BOXING FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is brilliant and Cliff Rold is 100% right when he says it don't take much to get people to chant with you. I was drunk and I started chanting RAQUISHI! RAQUISHI! RAQUISHI! and I did it long enough to where people followed suit. Well I had to do it more than I wanted to but I got people going and soon the whole arena was chanting RAQUISHI!
So, I dig where Cliff is coming from. I am sure since this will be in Florida, there will be some PR's there and I am sure they can get the crowd going. I think I am going to have to watch this event. I have not followed wrestlang in a very long time. When the Rock left, I left with him.

Great article.

Oh, what I wanted was for Cotto to show up at the event.

Too bad Cotto's fight with Gomez interfeers with this possibility.

It would have been great to see the REAL Welter Weight Champion there and not Fraud Mayweather Jr.

oye ya tu sabe yo quilo vel a cotto con floy

God that **** would be classic.

More likely chant would be DeLaHoya since Cotto has not really made a name for himself to the general public, which is exactly the reason the fight hasnt been made, and the DeLaHoya one is already scheduled. At the press conference for Wrestlemania they were chanting DeLaHoya which shows what the general public thinks. I think a lot of people dont realize that Cotto's personality is really a downfall for him, but after a couple more wins he should be in the position to guarantee himself Mayweather.
