Actually, far as Snooki alone is concerned, I was amazed I didn't outright hate her segments. She also made me believe that given training and a few months to a year in FCW, she'd make a decent WWE Diva. Hell she's got Alicia Fox beat as an in-ring performer NOW.

Dont mean to be harsh but im just gunna put these here {Spoiler} As far as Mania goes im optamistic. Morrison/Ziggler for most the match, very good. Then when its not itl be Laycool/Trish, good. Then she will be involved in the finish with Vickie. For the sake of ONE MATCH on a 10 match card, I think that its worth the publicity to have a token celeb in a match that bound to be good anyway. WWE needed some kind of hook this year and if they couldnt get Charlie Sheen the so called 'hottest thing right now', then Snooki is a very close second.

I'm so sick of this "poor Morrison" crap.
He's in a fine position and gets to do his crazy spots every multiman match. And he freakin ran through Sheamus a while back. He's fine, they like him enough to let him do his thing, and he'll get a shot down the road. He's just not super over enough to be given a main even match at Mania. He's like the 7th biggest face on the Wrestlemania card.
Ever since Miz won the title everyone's been in a fantasy booking rush to push Morrison to the title. Its Christian syndrome, except Morrison still needs a few more months.

Morrison was never going to get a one on one match with Ziggler at Mania. Snooki is just replacing Kelly Kelly. And aside from slightly hurting McIntyre, since the angle with him and Kelly got dropped cold to accommodate this (and even then he can easily recover), the match has no other negative consequences. At least none that I care about.

Some people are playing fast and loose with the word "celebrity".

Some people live in a sheltered world if they don't think Snooki is a big name celebrity. Not much space under the rock apparently.

Snooki = best sports entertainer on The Jersey Shore.
I can't believe it either.

Not sheltered as I know what's going on in the world around me and I'm quite familiar with it. Fact is, she's not as big of a celebrity as WWE wants you to think. She's a joke and at best is a polarizing figure. Does anyone honestly think that one single person is going to order Wrestlemania because Snooki is on it? If this were last year, I'd agree. She was at her peak then and it would've been a good time to get her but Vince DEFINITELY caught her on the downward slide.

Considering she's in an intergender tag match, its not a real huge risk. Even if its just some twitter advertising, she has more followers than any other wrestling personality by a big margin.

TNA used Jersey Shore stars sparingly in throwaway matches on free TV. WWE is using a Jersey Shore star as the centerpiece of their biggest pay per view of the year. Centerpiece? Hmmmmmm. Undertakr vs Triple H Orton vs Punk Del Rio vs Edge Cody Rhodes vs Rey Mysterio Jr Cole vs Lawler hardly a centrepiece now is it.

To give the devil her due, she managed to get an entire crowd that was booing her, to chanting her name at the end of the segment As others have said, it was Vickie that turned them in favour.

I hope the situation does raw next as a heel. I dunno. I think it'd be funny. *The situation comes out on raw* " Oh BOO HOO You dorks are in a real situation this time huh? You know why snooki is going to wrestlemania? Because unlike all of you basement dwelling pawns for cena and orton,shes a WINNER. She follows the code. G.T.L. For you illiterate irrelevant non guidos that's:Gym..which youve never seen the inside of one. Tan...which unless you count the acne on your face creating a more red skin tone from the swelling is something you never have and laundry which you should try sometime. Make some use of yourself. Snooki did and look at her,shes beautiful. Shes a star. You guys? You need to take a look at your situation because youve just been...situated.." Hey i'd laugh at least:(

Current Twitter Followers for the top person on both shows:
1,581,167 Snooki 398,375 John Cena
She gave Cena a rub by posting about him on her page and now his followers are rising quicker than the norm, so I think its safe to say she will add some buys to the show that they never would have picked up.

I don't know this woman from Adam, but she has the thighs of which would make the most indefatigable of female Bond assassins give up their day job.
I happen to like that, even though I'll be dashed if I can understand a word that she is saying.

But it's also safe to say that someone clicking "follow John Cena" on twitter is not nearly the same thing as saying "Pay $70 for Wrestlemania"
