What indeed would happen if Vincent McMahon met Fifa, well let’s find out when WWE style fanfare meets the strict ruled world of Football.
Well what’s one of the main, well in fact the main reason WWE is where it is today? Showmanship of course and with that comes what’s know as “faces” and “heels”. Now a face is the good guy, the fan favourite the honourable star who fans cheer no end and you’ve guessed it, a heel is the bad guy who will cuss, cheat and well cheat some more to get their way. So if Vincent. K. McMahon teamed up with Fifa the world of football could well be re-invented, Fifa football entertainment (FFE) here we come!
Teams or maybe just a few players from a team could do “run in’s” WWE style and ruin the game, a little bit silly and not very sportsman like but fun to watch, maybe even a set time say the last five minutes of a game where teams can run in and they’re only allowed on for one minute, it would keep matches interesting and results completely varied, madness and hilarity would prevail!
Entrance music, obviously teams need this, something to come out to an ovation to. Of course for rivalry purposes and to keep things more shall we say personal the teams should come out from separate sides of the stadium. Home teams greeted to a nice firework display and pyros just to you know, rub it in. Visiting teams to get very little if anything in the way of fanfare because why should they, it’s not their home ground.
Another thing we don’t only want players to switch teams this is total sports entertainment we want transferable fans too, can you kick up a fuss, loose with the worst bad temper and anger known to man, got the ability to shout at the referee and other random people for loosing the game, can you dress up in your teams colours in style, what about stringing together the most unorthodox and unlikely swear words together to show your “pain” when loosing? Then you’re a prime candidate for this, teams pay their money for their fans, heel teams with the worst foul mouthed, temper tantrum fans and face teams with the more dignified yet loyally supporting fans (or should that be the other way around?) imaginable.
Now this could lead for some interesting scenarios, imagine a heel turn for instance, picture David Seamen in goal, he has a goal kick and runs for the ball to send it screaming up field but half way he pauses and walks in front of the ball, the fans hush to a silence and the chant of “OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU FAT BA....” gets cut short as David walks past the ball and takes of his shirt revealing the opposing teams colours! World wide jaw drop as ol moustache boy knocks the ball into his own net, not sporting at all but what a shocker and something interesting for The Sun to print about in the morning.
Promotions, relegation’s? Don’t think so not anymore, if you can put on a show you go up if you can’t down you go, just think of the money matches like West Brom Albion Vs Wolverhampton Wanders would cause! Think of all these local derbys ready to explode, whoa!
Now what else is there, weopons, hardcore matches? Hmmm that’s just a bit too violent for football. Well actually thinking about it..... no, no we can’t. The idea of different match types is a possibility though, remember the Nike advert where the match was played inside a cage? Now that would be something else and would make for some fantastic viewing, how about handicap matches, giving teams like Aston Villa an actual shot at beating someone good. Another match type could be no throw ins, you heard me no throw ins, no boundaries except the actual stadium the match could continue through the crowd for hilarious results, imagine a player stealing a fans crisps while dribbling through fans. Gary Linekar would be proud.
We already have promo’s so how about we just spice them up a little with some raunchy dancing women who offer nothing to the game apart from visual pleasure, half times would be more entertaining too. Women matches may not be too popular as of yet but I’m sure a muddy pitch linked with women’s lingerie contests would turn more than just a few heads.
Overall how about we just knock a few rules on the head for fun.
So what do you think of Football as a sports entertainment brand?
Would the touch of Vince McMahon offer anything?
Can you think of any gains the world of Football could get from a McMahon haul over?

Tell me about it, the XFL was a right flop, it kind of hindered the WWE's slow take over, they even have their own drag race cars and record labels!
Hehe.
Unfortunately, after XFL, I can't see Vinnie Mac getting another bite of the apple.
