Okay, here is how screwed up it is.
When this angle first started, if we remember, Show was going to be the heel and Mayweather the babyface. We know that. If you remember, though, Mayweather was the face because he was defending Rey Mysterio.
Mayweather screwed that up by going into business for himself. Whether the punches were supposed to be a work, or not, Floyd did not work the punches. Mayweather pulled a shoot on Show.
This was further screwed up by Mayweather running away. From "Money" showing cowardice, and from Big Show's reaction, the face/heel dynamic changed right then.
Now, we look at the whole deal, and if Big Show will lose at WrestleMania, or not. Do you really think that Paul Wight would sign on to do two jobs in a row, in gimmick matches, against people who aren't wrestlers? Remember last year, in the sumo match against Akebono? I really don't think so. If Big Show loses at WM24, it will make him, and wrestlers, look weak. It will make it look like wrestlers cannot compete against other atheletes. 1 time, maybe, but 2 in a row, I doubt. The only way to make this look good, now that Show is a face, is to have Show go over at Mania.
Floyd probably signed a contract for $20 million, (wether it was for stock options, PPV percentage, or whatever), and, that contract was probably to have him go over at Mania, being as the plan was to have him be the face sticking up for Mysterio. Now, things have changed.
Will "Money"'s ego allow him to lose his first "fight" in front of a world-wide crowd? I don't think so. He signed (presumably) a contract to win at WM.
Now what?
If "Money" goes over, then wrestlers and wrestling is weak. But, "Money" is probably too egotistical to do business properly. We have seen that in the past.
There are only two options remaining. A double DQ, or Show gets DQ'ed.
Let's look at both scenarios. If there is a double DQ, the entire world will shit on that finish, because people now want to see that snotty little midget get his ass handed to him. Probably won't happen.
The most likely scenario is that Show won't be able to catch Mayweather, grab a chair, and KO the hell out of Mayweather. "Money" is willing to sell. We saw that on Raw. Show will have to (kayfabe) kill "Money" for the crowd to be happy. With that, he draws the DQ, and "Money" still gets his win.
This is the only scenario in which both Mayweather and Show will come out WM looking strong.
The only thing that can possibly go wrong is Mayweather and his gang....I mean, posse, thugs, lapdogs, whatever. A bunch of idiots trying to be gangster,and showing off how "tough" they can be. I don't like people like that, anyway, but this is not a personal diatribe.
If what we are lead to believe is true, then the schmozz on Monday got out of hand because of the "posse". If they try to do business for themselves again, things are likely to get messy. If they pull this shit at WrestleMania, of all places, the shit will really hit the fan, and a drive-by gangtsa stylezzzz will be the last of their worries.
On Monday, Show basically showed the world that he is defending wrestling. I believe it is just that, to a certain degree. Mayweather came into their house, and disrespected it. If he goes into WM with that attitude, he, and his "mafia" are likely to be carried out of there.
