Mayweather Show = Too Much TV
Heading into Mania a few things are obvious with others up for grabs. For one, the Mayweather vs. Big Show match has received a bit too much publicity. We see more background footage and interviews on this match than any other. WWE definitely made a huge $20 million investment, hence all the promotion for it. They are probably hoping to get boxing and other sports fans interested in the event with this, and also consider they spent so much on it. Show tossing Mayweather out of the ring did make the Top 10 plays on Sportscenter the next day. However, it makes little sense to build this match up more than Undertaker vs Edge or the WWE Triple Threat. Even the Money in the Bank is more interesting at this point and should be given more attention.
Another problem with Show vs. Mayweather is that WWE fans might revolt at this point if Mayweather is declared the winner. So basically WWE really needs a great idea to save this by making Show look legit as a wrestler and Mayweather still look tough as a fighter.
You may have also noticed on Raw that Jim Ross said "either Undertaker's streak ends or we will have a new champion". Not necessarily JR. Edge has been known to play dirty, and a DQ would let Edge retain and Undertaker still be undefeated. It would be an unfair scenario for fans paying to be there or see it on the PPV, but would save both the streak and the title.
Ashley has now been added to Bunnymania, because there's not much other choice. WWE doesn't have enough money left after paying Floyd Mayweather to pay other Playboy divas like Sable or Chyna. Ashley doesn't quite have the in ring skills as Candice yet, so this may be a disappointing one for fans. Expect to see the 2 bunnies triumphant, and maybe Snoop Dogg helps out or the Godfather starts up his "Hooo train" to end the match with a parade of divas leaving up the ramp with Snoop and the Godfather Pimp.
The Money in the Bank will definitely make things very interesting, as it could give way to another new champ at Wrestlemania 24. Seeing Punk get pinned on Raw makes you wonder if he's scheduled to win the big MITB contract at WM24, then defeat Chavo (or whoever has it) for the ECW title.
