Fantasy Booking Triple H's FIRST WWE WrestleMania
5. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Vs. Kevin Owens
As you all know, before Vince McMahon transformed the industry, wrestling was just this "tiny little thing happening in bars".
Vince used his promotional might to squash the American Tiny Little Thing Happening In Bars Association, Mid-South Tiny Little Thing Happening In Bars and every other territory to monopolise the North American industry. You could get a decent pint in the Omni, but it would have been better if it was a 16,000 capacity venue. Instead, Vince took his show to the cavernous MSG, and in turn took wrestling mainstream with the invaluable help of celebrities, who have remained a fixture of WrestleMania ever since.
With the rule-proving exception that was Pat McAfee, Triple H, in order to differentiate NXT as the wrestling arm of WWE, never followed that path as a booker - but the device is woven into the company's fabric because it guarantees a spectacle and coverage in publications that ordinarily couldn't care less about wrestling.
But which celebrity will Triple H select for this year's show?
He's close enough with Floyd Mayweather, Jr. to have seconded him to the ring years after his first 'Mania match, and while Floyd's exhibition "fight" with Logan Paul was a blatant cash-grab, one million people bought it. He's still a draw - and there's a reborn Prizefighter in WWE who could work him in a logical storyline. Also, Owens was trusted to protect Steve Austin, so he's one of the safest bets for the job.
Mayweather was excellent value at 'Mania XXIV. Watching him take an apron power bomb would be a sight so unreal that it would warrant the 'WrestleMania Moment' marketing.
