Wrestling Six Packs: Potential Matches for Money Mayweather
By: TH | Posted: 08/30/12

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has said that he's going to be part of WrestleMania XXIX, which would be his second appearance for WWE since Mania XXIV. There, he wrestled the Big Show on the same card that Shawn Michaels professed his love for Ric Flair and some other stuff happened too. Anyway, Mayweather would be walking onto a potentially loaded card on this upcoming event as well, so here are six matches that I think might end up suiting both him and WWE.

Money Mayweather
Coming back to WWE? If so,
there are great matches there for him.

1. Vs. Big Show II: THE SHOWENING


This might be anti-climactic to some, but to others, it'd be a rehash of the best match on that card. I didn't see it, so I can't tell if they were smoking peyote or not, but hey, there could be a different story told here, especially with Show's "ironclad contract" which would give him free reign to, I don't know, knock out Mayweather during a guest appearance leading to a match?

2. Teaming with Big Show teaming up vs. anyone, really


Of course, teaming with Show would be intriguing as well. Opponents? Who cares! It could be Hornswoggle and Rosa Mendes for all I care, and the dynamic between the two partners would be fascinating.

3. Vs. CM Punk


Wouldn't this be the ultimate match for Punk? Forget Cena, Trips, Brock and even Rocky. Floyd Mayweather getting paid MILLIONS OF DOLLARS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to wrestle in one match as a guest star when guys like him put in 300+ nights of work for considerably less. I don't know how Mayweather would match up on the microphone, but this match wouldn't be about him, would it? It would be about Punk being Punk.

4. Vs. Brock Lesnar


Aside from #6, this would probably get WWE that vaunted mainstream exposure for the big event that they crave. The MMA super Champ vs. boxing's biggest draw? Of course, they'd probably have to dance around those terms, but that's what this would be. I think the prospects of either guy going into business for themselves would be too hilarious not to consider either, especially given how huge their egos are reported to be.

5. Vs. Triple H


Yes, this match is here on the odd chance that a right hook gets away from Money and knocks Trips out in real life. No, I will not apologize for that.

6. Vs. Manny Pacquiao


I bag on Vince McMahon a lot because he deserves it. The man may be the greatest pro wrestling promoter ever, but he gets called a genius, and he's not. He's just a guy with giant balls who got lucky with a larger than life top draw tapping into a new, undiscovered vein or trope on two separate occasions. In real life, he's had his share of downs, scandals and asshole things he's done that would make sweatshop owners cringe. That being said, I would, for one moment in time, give him all the credit in the world if he pulled this match off. It would be the greatest troll in the history of sport that the one, sought after match in boxing history would be played out in a fucking wrestling ring. Of course, the state of boxing today dictates that really the best home for it would be in WWE because it's so goddamned rigged, but that's another story for another day.
