Until the NFL Lockout ends, we will bring you random daily items in an effort to improve your life, raise general awareness, or to provide further distraction from this utter nonsense.
In what might be one of the worst (or best) things to happen to the civilized world, BoDog.com has posted gambling lines on Wrestlemania XXVII which eminates from Atlanta’s Georgia Dome on Sunday evening.
There are numerous overwhelming favorites including The Undertaker (-1600 to defeat Triple H), Jerry Lawler (-1600 to trounce Michael Cole with Stone Cold Steve Austin as the special guest referee), and Snooki (-1600 to win her mixed-gender six-person tag match).
I’m mixed on this.
I always thought having gambling lines on wrestling matches would be comical. However, if I’m a WWE writer and have a reasonable knowledge of what might happen on Sunday, I’d put down a few greenbacks on a few matches.
This system is setup for their writers to clean up. Although, in fairness, if you know anything about the nefarious world of wrestling bookers, things can change at the last minute very quickly.
(On a side note, would the Hogan matches in ’89 versus Savage and in ’91 versus Slaughter been on the board? Who would have dared to bet against him in those spots?)
Not that I’d bet on this stuff, but if I was going to…I’d place a couple of bucks on The Miz.
I suppose nobody believes that he’ll beat John Cena and that he’ll get his clock cleaned by The Rock in the process.
Wait, what am I talking about?
Kids, don’t bet on wrestling.
Start up an IRA with that cash instead.
