Sources within WWE are telling WrestlingNewsSource.com that the company is apparently interested in trying to book MMA fighter Kimbo Slice to appear at (and possibly work) WrestleMania 27. These sources are quoted as saying that since Brock Lesnar will no longer be able to appear, WWE is trying to land Kimbo because they feel that he has gained enough mainstream popularity that would allow even more attention to be drawn to the event.

no one wants to see Kimbo Slice. Batista is just as much as a credible MMA fighter as this loser.

he's got a more dedicated fan-base than most guys who are one hundred times the fighter that he is..

 

[SHIRLEY]

I was hoping for Jeff Jarrett.

Correct. Kimbo has a cult following, skill is irrelevant.

 

[MattParker117]

He's wrestling for the IGF in a few weeks plus he's still under a matching period with the UFC (expires in may) although I doubt Dana will do anything this time.

 

[Solid_Rob]

Kimbo Slice is an Mixed Martial Artist? I thought he was just a hobo with heavy hands...

 

[Rated R™]

:lmao BS.

What makes your think Kimbo will be able to show up at WM when Brock isn't, it's not the popularity that's stopping Dana White from letting Brock come to the WWE, it's his contract with the UFC, I think the same applies for Kimbo.

Again.... :lmao

Kimbo was fired from the UFC almost 2 years ago lol...

Kimbo won't draw.

Best bet for WWE is to book Justin Bieber to appear in somebody's corner against a heel. Sounds awful don't it? But it would draw for them consider how much coverage this bubblegum popstar is getting.

You do realise Kimbo is going to wrestling in Japan?

At least have some knowledge about the situation before you call BS.

 

[Captain - Charisma]

Next they will book Seth Petruzelli :lmao

 

[Green]

It always struck me that Kimbo would be far better of in a WWE environment than an actual fight sport, I mean fair play it seems he loves the competitive aspect but he has no chance to really accomplish anything there. He's been successful almost exclusively due to his look, and has a massive following.

He's basically this generations Mr T.

 

[yoyoyou]

Kimbo could be built up as an attraction.

This!! :lmao

Give him a good earner and let Big Ziek get his hands on him for a short while.. DAMN! Marking for this!!

 

[Retribution]

Yeah sounds kinda BS to me, i dont mind seeing Kimbo, but @ WM seems abit unlikely to me.

 

[Vic Capri]

Like it or not, Kimbo is a draw. He should be a part of the show. I'd rather have him on the show than Roy Nelson.

- Vic

 

[johnnyshear]

People are legit retarded if they think Kimbo isnt a draw.

Not like he drew the best TV rating in MMA history AND the biggest rating in UFC Fight Night history. Sorry children but those are the facts here.
