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.

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?!

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." |

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. |

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

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.

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.

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

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

But how would that attract old broads?

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.

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.
