Very good to see our global brand increasing!

Anybody know what happened with the Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather? I heard some people discussing it at footy last night.

They say theres no such thing as bad publicity, but this case is pushing the lines a little.....

* Spoiler alert *

Typical "celebrity" wwe fight really although it was actually quite entertaining. Mayweather actually did let himself get slapped and thrown a few times which was suprising. He didn't really land anything on the Big Show at all. The end was unsuprising, few people run in, Big Show turns his back gets clobbered by quite a nice right hook from Mayweather and then 3 more shots with a chair to the head. Big Show down, end of match.

From what I've read, the whole match was scripted from start to finish so no real ad-libbing at all. In fact the WWE were worried that it was going to look horrible right up until the fight as Mayweather was struggling to pick up even basic wrestling moves.

That doesn't surprise me at all. He doesn't seem the most clever of individuals.

***Not that i would say that to his face***

To be fair to WWE, the match couldn't have gone any better considering the lack of wrestling ability from both people. I would have loved it if Hatton came running down to the ring and KO'd Mayweather

Good to see Taker keep his Wrestlemania record going.

Glad you posted this, I was wondering if anyone knew the fella.

I thought they did Mayweather/Show very well indeed, pretty much as well as was possible. Mayweather should be given credit for getting so involved, he contributed to a decent match. Show again took what looked like a few stiff shots, fair play to him too.
