My brother had Smackdown on, I've only chimed in and out on the Big Show matches, I've been pretty WWE-less, and glad of it. So I'm seeing this feud and I have a question...
How is Mayweather the face? To me, he generally seems like a bigger chickenshit heel than Edge. Shall we count down the problems?
Getting paid a ridiculous ammount for one match
Having 'promos' talking about himself and how great he is non-stop
When he 'faces off' he's got an entourage of about 20 guys
Small guys get destroyed by Big Show, does Mayweather help? Nope.
Can someone tell me why I'm supposed to perceive him as the face? He's short?

I'd mark if Big Show singlehandedly destroyed Mayweather's entourage.

I'm with you man, I don't get why Mayweather is the face. I guess because he is a celebrity. However I really wish Big Show would go over, but no way in hell did Mayweather agree to wrestle just to lose.

Mayweather reminds me of MVP (his kayfabe character anyway), only an unlikeable version.

Honestly, I don't think their building either one as a face really.

Hope in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first.

If this fight isn't staged, no matter how quick Mayweather is, two or three good ham hawks from Show will knock Floyd out. Doesn't matter how good or fast he is, a guy that big with ham sized fists won't feel too good.

Everyone on camera thinks Mayweather's gonna get his ass handed to him. Has watching Cena for the last 2 years taught no one anything?

He probably won't, Mayweather is undefeated and if he loses a fake wrestling match it will just look bad for him, I doubt he would agree to lose.

I hope Big Show wins. Just because Mayweather has done nothing to make me be interested in him. His promo on Raw was horrible. Big Show at less was decent at his promos and he has look like a bad ass.

Nope. You forgot #5: As soon as he hit Show a few times, he took off at top speed to avoid any retaliation. Sucker punching somebody and then running like BDV to a buffet isn't very a face-y thing to do. |

I predict they box for one round with Mayweather hitting Show a bunch of times but avoiding all of Show's punches.
Second round, Show gets frustrated and does something stupid like grabbing Mayweather; his entourage comes in, Show gets DQd, a couple of nobodies get their ass kicked, and Mayweather is safe outside the ring celebrating.

TWENTY MILLION DOLARS FOR THAT?! And you know what the saddest part of all is? Is that your prediction sounds extremely realistic and logical (WWE-wise). I wouldn't be surprised if that really did happen.  EDIT: Oh, and that wasn't meant to be any offense toward you. I was just saying it was sad because I believe that scenario is more than likely what's going to happen. Sorry for wording that wrong. |

This isn't a boxing match though. It's a "MMA Match", which, if Show's match on RAW is any indication, is the same as an old school Boxer vs. Wrestler match. These work well as shoots, but they work better as works. I believe the boxer has to box, and the wrestler has to wrestle, but it may be that they just use a combination of the rules. You can win by pinfall, submission, or knockout.
Show better win. If he doesn't, it'll be the biggest travesty in pro wrestling since Wrestlemania 11. That said, I'm confident he will win, especially if it's a shoot. I really hoped, given Show's boxing training, that it'd be a straight up boxing match, a full fledged shoot. Alas, it seems not. A shoot boxer vs. wrestler match would be great, and even a work will be fine, as long as Show wins.

Even better, despite this giant entourage, Mayweather immediately runs away.

Mayweather should come to the ring and say "I already broke your nose. I have nothing to prove... bye"
and then we move on.
Talk about heel heat.

I hope Big Show accidently injurs Merryweather. They have to get SOMETHING for their 20 million.

As great as that would be, that also leaves the door open to bring him back. I shudder to think how many roster guys are going to lose their jobs to play for this clown. |
