So Kimbo Slice Is Gonna Wrestle In Japan?

According to DOT NET. Kimbo is set to make his wrestling debut: ".... February 5 Inoki Genome Federation." The second half of DOT NET's headline read: "...COULD WWE BE NEXT?". The article went on to say that Kimbo's name has been brought up as a possible "enforcer" type for this year's Wrestlemania. Nothing has been CONFIRMED, so take that with a HUGE GRAIN OF SALT!

Call me an old fart, but I remember in 1997 when Iron Mike Tyson was the special "enforcer" for that year's Wrestlemania main event. Here is his debut segment Pt 1.

debut segment Pt. 2

Let's say for arguement's sake that Kimbo is offered the role. How will the WWE spin this. In 1997 they were the edgy product, now they are a PG product.  I'm sure that they will find a way. Meanwhile over in TNA-ville, we are treated to the Jeff/Karen Jarrett vs Kurt Angle story line. You have Jeff Jarrett doing an MMA gimmick now, and if anyone deserved to get his @$$ handed to him for goofing on MMA its Jarrett, its just too bad that the people in TNA don't think outside the box. Kimbo having an altercation with Jarrett in the Impact Zone out of no where would be a hell of allot better TV than the swill that they are spewing out now.

But then again what do I know I'm just a "mark".
