Roker will lay the Miz out

Evil Vito 03-27-2017 01:12 PM

Gotta get celebrities in for the proposal

The CyNick 03-27-2017 01:19 PM

Fun mainstream crossover with a celebrity who will appeal to the target audience for the match and post show activities related to this match. Nice job.

70 year olds?

About time. Every edition of WM should have had a famous meteorologist to give the day's national forecast. Do you people think the man can live off just checks from NBC and The Weather Channel?! DO YOU?!

#1-norm-fan 03-27-2017 01:48 PM

Man, the starpower of this WrestleMania just shot up. Take my money.

Emperor Smeat 03-27-2017 02:01 PM

Good for Roker and at least it wouldn't be as big of a waste of time like Shaq and Show probably would have been.

Get the idea that the WWE wants a modern version of the Macho-Liz moment but everything about the build to the Cena-Nikki moment feels way too forced or "fake."

Cool King 03-27-2017 02:15 PM

I entered this thread thinking "who?" and then I find out that it's just some weatherman.

I'm now looking forward to when the WWE call in Michael Fish to handle ring announcing duties next time they come over here.

Cool King 03-27-2017 02:17 PM

Also, why a weatherman?

It seems pretty random.

What's so great about this weatherman that he's been given the opportunity to announce the arrival of the face of the company at WrestleMania?

Al Roker is doing a deal where he is traveling the country for the Today Show. Im sure it is to help improve their Standings with NBC/Universal

Cool King 03-27-2017 02:20 PM

I see.

He seems pretty beloved by a lot of people tbh. I'm indifferent to him either way, but he does have a very upbeat/charismatic personality. It will also likely get them lots of free press on NBC/Universal when Cena inevitably proposes to Nikki after their match, which is a pretty safe bet, since they've talked about how Cena will never marry Nikki 9,000,000 times on SmackDown the last few months.

Simple Fan 03-27-2017 05:43 PM

I guess he fits for an outdoor Wrestlemania. Now if they could only book a storm we'd have a Wrestlemania worthy match.

He became popular back in the early 90s for being a lovable fat guy weatherman. So now is pretty much the prime time for Vince to bring him in.

Destor 03-27-2017 06:11 PM

When you cant make any new stars and everyone else has been done to death you turn to Al Roker for star power.

#1-norm-fan 03-27-2017 06:11 PM

Should try to get Joey Lawrence as the timekeeper.

Destor 03-27-2017 06:11 PM

Because the broads love him

Honestly wish WWE would bring in old school ring announcers for each match, Michael buffer for the main event, Howard Finkel, Tony Chimmel etc.

#1-norm-fan 03-27-2017 09:03 PM

But how would that attract old broads?

Destor 03-27-2017 09:16 PM

You got Roker. That key demo is locked the fuck down.

Mean Gene will return for that.

The CyNick 03-28-2017 04:41 PM

Roker isn't the key. He's just a means to an end. If everything goes down like it should, John and Nicole have a nice moment, and on The Today Show, they play the clip largely because All was there. Broads generally are the ones who watch that show, broads will like seeing an engagement story. That's why he's a logical choice. Hope that helps.

Destor 03-28-2017 05:53 PM

Yeah once women 28-54 see the highlights of mania they are def gonna watch smackdown to see what happens next. Good point.

poopfromweiner dude 03-28-2017 05:58 PM

this is basically wrestlemania so black ami right

#1-norm-fan 03-28-2017 07:00 PM

Broads

Why would they want Buffer after how terrible he was at the last one of their events? He had a chance, and he sucked big time.

Yeah I'm sure two Indy geeks having a 25 minute slap fest would get them hooked even more. Stupid WWE.

Cannot help but read RoXer instead of Roker every time.

DaveWadding 03-29-2017 09:57 PM

Cannot wait to watch Al Roker on PPV with Joey RoXer LIVE at my house on Sunday.
