Remember back in the 90's when WCW made David Arquette world champion?
This guy, right here.
This was one of many attempts WCW did back in the 90's at incorporating mainstream celebrities and media into their product. And it failed fantastically. Granted WWE also did this a lot (hell, Wrestlemania was founded on the concept of wrestling meets celebrities and rock n roll). But WCW's attempts are by far more hilarious. WCW got Arquette and Leno, WWE had Tyson. And we all most likely remember the horrible year of guest hosts from WWE in 2009 despite some of us most likely developing alcoholism in an attempt to blot it out.
So here is my topic for this thread. Could you see a celebrity making the full on transition to full roster member of the WWE? As in wrestling training, full on road life and dedication to WWE (in between shooting some tv show most likely but still). The entire shabang so to speak. Do you see that as possible in todays WWE climate? And do you have any celebrity in mind that you could see do it?
I first of all think it would have to be a wrestling fan first and foremost. I'd rather take an Arquette, who's a wrestling fan over say a Tito Ortiz. I think Maria Menunous, who has wrestled a few matches for WWE would jump on the opportunity as soon as it was presented. She seems like she loves wrestling enough. I could also see Jason David Frank (Tommy from the 90's Power Rangers) working well. He's a fan of wrestling and a trained stunt man and fight coordinator, so there is some ground work when it comes to bumping already (he would still need to do full on training without a doubt). Those are the only two I could think of.
What about you guys? Discuss.
