Quote:Vince seems to have a clsterfuck streak in him (Ali vs. Inoki, Evil Knevil's non-jump on PPV, XFL, buying WCW).Not to mention the WBF, Icopro, the Sugar Ray Leonard fight that lost him a ton of money, his two biggest cash cows leaving - one for Hollywood, the other because he got sick of all the BS, the current clusterfuck that is the "brand extension", WWFNY, etc. For someone who is considered by so many to be a genius, he certainly seems to fail more often than he succeeds.
But back to the subject at hand, I agree that Tyson/Lesnar is more likely to happen than Lewis/Lesnar. Tyson is simply a bigger draw and more marketable than Lewis. I also think Kurt Angle would be a better choice than Lesnar, simply because he's a more accomplished amateur wrestler and should be the one to represent WWE in all of this. If the goal is to attract new fans to the product (and considering how costly it would be, it better), they'd really need for this to come off as legit as possible, because going in, the perception would be that this is just another "McMahon circus". Proving his critics right is the last thing he needs right now, and if this whole plan does come into fruition and ends up as a giant clusterfuck, it could potentially be disastrous for a company that's already struggling.
