Loss Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 So I doubt there's anything to the rumors, although the WON said that all the Britney talk on TV lately has been planned, and the feeling is that Michael Hayes and Brian Gewirtz know things they're not telling anyone. But between the ridiculous amount of TV ratings it would draw, along with the sure-to-be hilarious stories of her having heat in the WWE locker room for showing up in Shawn's colors or puking on the Undertaker after a drinking binge, I sure hope there's something to it.

JHawk Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 There are rumors of Britney appearing on WWE TV, possibly WrestleMania. South Park won't make fun of her because they're afraid she'll kill herself, but Vince has no shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Something funny -- they were upset within WWE when she shaved her head, because they thought that would be the natural angle they could do to draw money and attention.

Cox Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 If Britney showing up on WWE TV means the return of K-Fed, I am all for it. I was disappointed when they stopped using K-Fed last year, he showed a lot of great heel ability and would have been fun as a part-time heel presence on WWE TV.

Tim Evans Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hopefully if this happens. It leads to Britney vs Jillian in a Sing off. I'm sure they could get Simon from American Idol to judge with Santino. It would be gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 What on earth could you possibly do with her on a wrestling show? She obviously couldn't get physically involved, having no prior experience and probably her various producers and insurers wouldn't allow it. Plus, she's completely fucking insane even by wrestling's standards. This is a woman who's shown clear signs of everything from deep depression to bipolar disorder, and displays occasional hints of much worse conditions such as possible schizophrenia or dissociative personality disorder. The LAST thing she needs to do is be on frigging Raw. Not only would it be unhealthy for her, but there's absolutely zero confidence that she'd do what you told her to. South Park won't make fun of her because they're afraid she'll kill herselfHeh, really? Weird. As vicious bastards as Matt & Trey can be at times, there have been multiple examples of holding off on doing a certain topic because they didn't want to cause serious trouble.

That Poor Bastard Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 she's perfect for wrestling, IMO. Tim has the right idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I'm not totally convinced that a lot of Britney Spears stuff isn't worked angles to keep her visible in the tabloids. I'm not saying I don't think she has any problems, but I am saying I think some stories are probably exaggerated or embellished for entertainment value. That said, I'm just really curious what type of rating RAW would get for a show built around hyping an appearance on live TV from Britney Spears. That's probably the only thing I could think of that could seriously shatter their own TV ratings records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five years ago I'd have agreed with that, but I doubt enough people who aren't already watching Raw every week would tune in just to see Britney. They might hit a 4.0 on the curiosity factor, but much above that's a stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Live appearance by Britney Spears only getting a 4.0? No way. Yes, people would absolutely tune into RAW who hate wrestling for the sole purpose of seeing Britney Spears, as long as it was promoted properly. I'm thinking 7.0+, maybe even higher.

anarchistxx Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I for one would be watching this. This would draw huge, all the goss mags would pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I would never underestimate Vince's ability to turn a celebrity appearance into money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anarchistxx Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Spears is definately as big and controversial as Tyson in 1998, if not bigger. Even if she has a breakdown on TV, it would work awesome for Vince. In fact, especially if she has a breakdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I would think they would "work" a breakdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Then again, it might backfire since anything wacky that happens would be dismissed by the mainstream as occurring on a fake rasslin' show. Or even worse, her appearing on the show being trumpeted as her "lowest point". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
