Black History Month DAY 19

Floyd Mayweather wrestling angle night 2



This was a basically unsatisfying follow up to Sunday's great angle. The WWE is so over produced, that they can rarely keep anything looking out of control and spontaneous very long. Floyd coming down to ringside to "Get Money" with the $500 hoodie and large entourage was really great. Then when he opens his mouth, it is clear that he is reciting some promo scripted by what ever ex-According to Jim hack they have writing RAW promos now. This ended up coming off exactly like ever mike segment they ever use to set up any match.

There is a reason that Floyd drew two such huge PPV numbers this year, and they have to let Floyd be Floyd. Brag about the diamonds in your watch, pull 75 grand from you pocket, don't talk about what a fan you are of the WWE, he didn't talk about what a fan he was of Oscar DeLa Hoya, he called him overrated and washed up.

Also while Floyd may get over as a face in a Las Vegas arena probably full of waiters and busboys he has given extravagant tips to. He doesn't work as a face anywhere else, listen to the boos. This interview was pretty ambiguous, but they need to go whole hog with heel Floyd. Dump the Rey aspect of it, and just have it be cocky ass Floyd talking shit. One hit and one strike so far, we will see how it plays out.
