Just for the record i don't like umaga or lashley and i know i m not alone. As for the levels thing you are right..unfortunately it doesn't take much of anything to main event in wwe anymore.
I don't believe so.Trump is one of the richest men in the word.So why would an ecw wrestler rep trump? ECW is the worst of the 3 wwe brands without a doubt and would be below Trump's standards.
How would losing to Mic Foley seriously damage umaga's character? Mic Foley is a hardcore legend...hell even in retirement he's more hardcore than current ecw champ Lashley.I guess that's the definition of 'irony'. Anyways another person i d like to see come back would be SCSA to kick umaga's ass while plugging his movie.
1) Im not a massive fan of either, though i do like eddie fatu as a wrestler, i just think its a poor,lazy character he's been given. The guy can really wrestle for his size, its just the wwe hold back there talent in what they can do (watch one of his matches in japan, or even TNA, i think youll at least be pleasently suprised).
2) Trumps wealth has nothing to do with who he'll bring in, hell if it did, he would surely use Cena/Batista/Taker. The whole thing is desighned to publicise both the wwe and the apprentice, as well as to boost Lashley (and umanga's) profile. By using Bobby Lashley, they are also showing that ECW isnt the weeker brand by having one of its stars in arguably Mania's biggest (if not, its most high profile) matchup. Also, he would have been told he is managing Lashley when the deal was done, it would have been one of the wwe's terms when they discussed the idea with trump.
3) Of course Foley is more hardcore than Lashley is, but remember this isnt a hardcore matchup, lashley is just the ecw champ, which is now just a brand of the wwe. I do beleive that foley defeating Umaga would hurt his character, unless it was say a hardcore match. Umanga is supposed to be almost unbeatable (only one superstar has beaten him), so bringing in a one time only star, like foley or stone cold, would be un-bennefitial as it would make the other superstars look weak, especially to fans who are unaware of what they have acheived (remeber,the attitude era was long before many current wwe fans started watching the product, or hell, were even born!).
Also, stone cold couldnt wrestle a match anymore, not to my knowledge, hes in pretty bad shape. All he can really do is deliver the odd stunner, so working a match against a pretty stiff worker like umanga (who would undoubtedly be mostly on the offense) is completely out the question.
However,i can see Stone colds most likely role at mani being in this match, either as an enforcer, trumps bodyguard (against possibly khali or even vinny jones,leading on from the NWO angle) or, more than likely, as special referee. This would allow him to screw vince over, help put lashley over and with a screwjob ending, allow umaga's character to keep face.
However, if he does appear (especially with vinny jones), i will completely refuse to buy the ppv, or watch the match, as the match would pretty much be a ten minuite long advert for everything bad about the wwe.
I'm not sure about some but that really bothered me.
