Paging Umaga, I REALLY wish we could page Umaga. These guys disrespected the business in 2007 and I believe Umaga got them back for it. I disagree. Umaga should have protected them. They are/were not professional wrestlers. He really, really hurt Steve O. I get they are the Jackass guys, but that always stuck in my craw with Umaga. I'm not saying it was right or it was wrong, but wrestlers are notorious for protecting the business against outsiders. Doubly so for someone like Umaga who came from the family he did. So if he felt as though he, his family, and his profession were being disrespected, on live television, no less, then yeah, he was probably going to f*** someone up over that.

With their movie coming out next month after being delayed a zillion times, this actually makes a lot of sense.

I'll give you that, he was quite dangerous with them. I guess like someone else said here, the wrestlers, really like to "protect" the business.

Not that I am condoning it in any way, but if you’re gonna kick the shit out of celebs, Jackass guys can take it or would at least be willing. Part of me feels this is a trumped up story. Jackass only pulled out because of Benoit.

I didn't even know he was still a thing. He played a corrupt preacher in a Netflix movie, "We Summon The Darkness" a couple of years ago. That's extent of my knowledge of what he's been up to lol

I didn't know they pulled out because of that. And I was thinking here, there was an incident to "protect dis business" with Benoit and the Jackass crew.

The way WWE is now i have now, I have no problem at with this. I'm sure he'd take a huge bump.

I mean, when the countdown goes to zero and you hear the jackass guitar riff l’m sure it will get more of pop than half the entrants

I mean, sure, if you want the entertainment value of the Rumble to crash through the floor like anything else he touches.

I don't hate it? If there's any non-athlete celebrity who can take bumps, it's gotta be one of the Jackass guys.

It will be worth it if we get a Paul London style elimination.
(minus serious injury obviously.)

OK, now get WALTER in the match and have them be the only two in it at that point. Dollar signs.

this ends with Omos tossing him into the 10th row doesn't it?

Y'know, thinking of Jackass, I wasn't so upset about Steve-O no-selling Umaga's beatdown back in the day. I mean, the dude zapped his testicles with an electric rat trap and shot bottle rockets out of his ass in the movies, so I wasn't surprised to see him laughing off an ass-whooping.
