Thats not on Snooki though. Even if she wasnt there, the intergender tag match would have happened. It was pretty much built at Elimination Chamber.
I think they added Snooki after realizing she would agree to it.

She's a VERY popular personality at the moment. This WILL attract media attention. They're going to put her in a match with plenty of other talent to carry the load. One of those talents is a legendary retired Hall of Famer.
WWE probably heard that TNA got one of the lesser-known Jersey Shore cast for a couple of thousand bucks and figured, "wait, we can get somebody who literally has cameras in her face every single day to promote our big show less than we spend on catering? Do it!"
"Snooki in a match at Wrestlemania" will make for MUCH better press than "Snooki to appear at Wrestlemania." Why? Because the first question anybody asks is, "are you going to wrestle?" If the answer is, "no," then the enthusiasm drops.

They should have done Ziggler vs. Morrison instead.
Jersey Shore Fans are not going to pay 50$ to see Snooki in a 5-10 minute match.

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'll counter this with... Facebook Likes John Cena 5,106,831 Snooki 201,155 You may sit down Mr. O'Malley. (10 internets for anyone who gets that reference). Cena himself has more likes than the WWE page itself on Facebook. Scary stuff indeed. Facebook likes are a terrible way to view ones true fame factor IMO, people who follow on twitter are at a whole new level of dedication and are also in an older demo who tends to has its own money. Facebook likes says Cena is on par with someone like a LeBron James in fame but we know in the real world that's not even remotely accurate.

I've never watched jersey shore so I have literally zero idea who she is or why she is famous.
Only thing I know is she is a midget with a funny voice and over sized boobs for her size. I mean seriously, how tall is she? 3' 10"?

It's stupid when TNA do it, it's stupid when the WWE do it too. All I can say is at least she won't take up as much time as Kid Rock. Hopefully the other participants in the match will be treated with more respect than the returning divas were that year.

This is what WM has always been about, and like her or not, Snooki is famous. I think she's smart really if you read her interviews, she's no fool and this will help her by getting her name out there even more.

They kept her screen time mercifully short. She's going to have one match at Mania. Last year, Kid Rock wasted more time than her match probably will, so I'm not too bent out of shape. I'm in agreement on this. Kid Rock had 20 minutes worth of concert at WM 25, and it was FULLY EDITED OUT! Snooki maybe in a match that lasts perhaps 6 minutes at longest with post-match being a few minutes more. Trust me, I'm not a fan of Jersey Shore, and not really a fan of Snooki, but I'm not losing sleep over this issue.

Yeah I don't really mind this as opposed to TNA where they are bringing in Jersey Shore chicks constantly and no one cares. This might at least draw some actual media for the PPV and it's a silly 6 person tag.

Next to Trish Stratus Snooki looked really average-ish. I don't understand all the hoopla about her.

90% of the match will probably be Ziggler/Morrison which will make the match good by default. 2 guys who need to prove themselves on the biggest stage of the year.

I'm a guy who loathes Jersey Shore, but I really don't have a problem with this (in fact the overreactions in this thread are hilarious - you're not going to buy WrestleMania because of a throwaway match that'll probably happen right in the middle of the night? Seriously?). WM has something silly like this every year, and what's the alternative, really? They'd have the throwaway Divas match anyway, so why not this?
I know I'd laugh my ass off if Ziggler brought the left hook like that one dude did.

Snooki is this year's Mickey Rourke.
Chew on that for a second.
