The dude was perfect for the wrestling business. He had a great character, was willing to get physical, and went 100 percent in everything that he did. Every non-wrestler coming to WWE should take notes on the dedication that Floyd had. I wouldn't mind him coming back for another run.

The guy put on a half decent match with Show, it was overbooked to hell, but it worked.
Shows had worse matches with real WWE talent.

I agree. He peformed well in the segments & match, showed a lot of respect for the wrestling business. I liked the segment where they did the double heel/face turn cause Mayweather was getting booed lol.

I agree 100%.
Mayweather tends to rub a lot of people the wrong way, and also tends to be critical of other sports outside of boxing (namely MMA), but I thought he did a tremendous job in his feud with Show and felt he showed a lot of genuine appreciation and respect that is virtually non-existent from every other "outsider" or celebrity that has done a quick publicity run in the WWE throughout the last few years.

I was there. Before it started, one of my friends chose to take a bathroom/food break. He came back when it was over. I told him - "It actually wasn't a bad match at all." Two-for-two in my WM attendances featuring sports celeb matches. Looks to be three-for-three now.

I mean he essentially has played a heel character throughout his boxing career so it makes sense imo that in translated so well. I actually expect to see Shaq be on a similar level if he comes in and works with Show. Guys who are actually fans of the product and have a level of respect for the performers coming in seriously make a world of difference. We saw the same type of thing with the guest hosts.

I thought he was great in the build to the match, but the match itself was awful. Anytime a wrestling match almost puts me to sleep, it's not a good thing. To be fair, I don't necessarily blame that on Floyd...

I honestly expected his match with Big Show to be awful but to be honest it wasn't all that bad.

With that argument, Snooki deserves appreciation, too.

With that argument, Snooki deserves appreciation, too. Sure why not? I liked Floyd. Of course he's not a wrestler. But he did what he was supposed to. And it wasn't just a one off appearance, they did press and hyped it up well. It was an overall awesome story. |

Floyd Mayweather doesn't deserve appreciation for anything. He's a scumbag and is going to have to serve 90 days in jail for beating the sh*t out of his ex-gf.
No respect for him.

I really like that storyline and I thought that the match was pretty decent. I still remember that like it was yesterday. I miss Shane That was a cool moment and it was a good way of bringing Big Show back into the company, and I also miss Shane. |
