I dont think the hype/build up for this fight is particularly good at all! Look at this article.
If the skit I saw on Monday is an indication, it's looking like Big Show will transition totally to babyface, and let Floyd play the bad guy all by his lonesome.
That's a guess. I'm alos uncertain if this gamble by the McMahon's will pay off. The crowd cheered Show a bit when he was on the stick, rather than reacting with their usual jeers. But when Floyd took the mike, and started throwing bills at Show, they didn't react that much at all. When he reminded Show that he broke his nose, and promised to break his jaw at the upcoming PPV they buzzed a little bit. There was a distinct lack of heat building.
When Show piched up Money, and threw him out of the ring, to be caught by Show's rassler posse, the crowd got a bit more heated.
Mayweather then stood up, and he was clutching his right elbow, as though it were shattered into chalk.
"This has added fuel to the fire," the announcer Jim Ross said, and his partner Jerry Lawler helped the pitch to buy the PPV, saying he could not wait to see what goes down between Show and Money at Wrestlemania 24 on March 30.
Maybe Money will play up the injury, and turn face when he wears a cast, and Show draws heat when he bullies the little guy, now sympathetic because of his injury.
Anyway, I'm not buying the hype that Money will take home the advertised $20 mill for this gig. The math, in my opinion, doesn't check out, considering other athletes have to get theirs, and many lifers probably wouldn't dig their cut being diminished by an interloper like Mayweather. If I had to guess, and this is truly a guess, I have no WWE mole, I'd say Money was getting a couple mill for the month of work.
Enjoy the gig Money.
And when you're done, and ready to get back to your true vocation, do us a favor, and sign a contract for a truly Big Show: fight Miguel Cotto.
