Haitch wants McGregor and Mayweather on Raw, Jimmy Nitro speaks

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

• WWE mentioning Conor McGregor multiple times on Raw this past week was not a coincidence. According to reports, the company would love to get McGregor and Floyd Mayweather on Raw to help them promote their fight.
  
  
• WWE hopes that McGregor and Mayweather consider it as having a platform of millions of worldwide fans to sell their fight while WWE would benefit from the added free publicity and ratings boost on Raw.
  
  
• Triple H was recently on Sky Sports News HQ in the UK and flat out invited both men to Raw to "tell the world who they are and why they're the man."

-- For those wondering exactly what Triple H had to say, here's a brief transcript:

“I think that is the – look I’ll go a step further and say all sports is entertainment, the news is entertainment today, it’s just the way of the world. This is what people do with their time. It’s no different. I think there is an interest level there. Can a world class boxer, probably the best ever, can he stand in the ring with an MMA guy and can that MMA guy bring his striking skills up to the level of someone, like say, a Floyd Mayweather? The one thing it will be, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is entertaining. One thing Floyd Mayweather is, is entertaining. One thing Conor McGregor is, is entertaining, and it’s funny that you say it’s sports entertainment. I’d invite both guys, that really want to showcase what they do, I invite both guys to come to Monday Night RAW because there is no bigger platform that they can have to show the world, and tell the world, who they are and why they’re the man.”

Former WWE Superstar John Morrison recently spoke with E&C's Pod Of Awesomeness for an interview. Below are some of the highlights.

On the reason he parted ways with WWE being related to his interest in making movies: "I knew I wanted to do a movie, an action movie, and when I left WWE in 2011, I didn't specifically know. I didn't leave to do Boone: The Bounty Hunter. I left to do a movie and I wanted to be able to do what I'm best at, which I think is pro wrestling, parkour, and MMA-style fight choreo, and have a comedic, self-deprecating, have a reluctant hero be the star and have it be an action movie, an action comedy."

On selling his dream house to help fund his new film: "I just kept cutting the budget further and further and further until we ended up with the current iteration of Boone, which I ended up having to fund because around 2014 it felt like, we had all this cast, director, and everyone attached. And we pushed the dates a couple of times. And it felt like if we pushed the dates again, it would slip away, so I ended up selling my house to fund the production of Boone: The Bounty Hunter. And once I did that, I was locked in because a half-finished movie, it turns out, isn't worth anything."

On having heat with Billy Kidman: "We were both intoxicated that night and the whole altercation was overblown by the media, we still laugh about it to this day and thankfully Perry Saturn was there that night"

On using pro wrestling slang in his everyday life: "I assimilate things in life and just in general with [pro] wrestling all the time now. It doesn't matter what it is. It could be like I sit down at Denny's and my eggs come out wrong, 'uh oh, the server just turned heel.' 'It's a cluster, oh God.' 'Looks like a TNA house show, uh oh.' No offense."

mma style fight choreo? that's a thing

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Huh really feeling himself

Thank God for Saturn. Gotta salute Kidman for refusing to rent out Torrie Wilson to JoMo.

 

[Konnan]

That fight doesn't need HHH's help to promote it

 

[Superkick Party]

The nerve of this guy

I'm surprised he didn't say they should be at Full Sail

[Kunty McPhuck]

He wants that ratings POP.

We all want the potential fukkery

 

[Heelish]

He wants that ratings POP

 

[Golayitdown]

His inflated sense of self is no longer limited to "getting over" guys who are already main eventers, now it's spilling over to other sports.


Thought they would have learned from sending Taker out to Cleveland to get treated like a side chick speaking in public

[CM_Burns]

It would be good for the fights exposure, but this sh1t already looks off and like a work waiting to happen, so actual ties to WWE would probably be a bad idea.

Man, what do y'all want him to say?

One second it's "the WWE isn't mainstreal at all now" and the next it's "Why are they feeling themselves so much?"

He's supposed to make the WWE look big.
