[At the Backlash pay-per-view April 30, God will make his pro-wrestling debut](http://calsun.canoe.ca/Sports/OtherSports/2006/04/15/1535417-sun.html) I wonder what kind of moves God has planned? > [@](#): > > Yes, WWE is advertising the actual God – of Old and New Testament fame – will be taking part in a grappling match and, for just $35, you can witness a moment previously thought to be reserved for sometime around the Second Coming. > > Here’s the back story: A few weeks ago at Wrestlemania, Shawn Michaels defeated Vince McMahon in a violent one-on-one match. McMahon later accused Michaels of having help to win the match, in the form of divine intervention. Therefore, McMahon declared, to even the score, he would team with his son, Shane, and take on Michaels and God in a tag team match at the next pay-per-view. ---

I predict God gets smashed like a raspberry in between Vince McMahon’s shoulderblades. See Vince in a recent Muscle and Fitness magazine? He’s a billion years old and he’s a friggin tank! ---

Two possible outcomes. The first is there’s an actual wrestling match, with a guy wearing flowing robes and so forth. Ultimate tackiness. The second possibility is that God shows up and causes old Vince to have a religous experience. Vince becomes born-again on stage, simultaneously becoming popular with Christian wrestling fans and setting a new bar for the cynical exloitation of religous belief. ---

You sayin that tackiness wouldn’t be worth some ratings? I bet there’s nobody showing up…either that or Sting is gonna drop down from the ceiling. Perhaps they can load everyone involved in a trebuchet and launch them into the next zip code. I likes me that idea. ---

My guess is Michaels fights both Vince and son by himself and with “Gods help” manages to beat them in an uneven match. Although i wouldn’t be surprised if a guy with a beard and white robes showed up to fight. ---

Guys, Backlash is here in Lexington this year. They’re not gonna do anything that would result in a riot or seriously offend people here in town. If I had the money, I’d go just to see how they do it. ---

It’ll end with Santa running in and wholloping one of the McMahons with an iron bag of presents while the ref is distracted. God gets the pinfall. ---

I hear they were bringing back Kevin Fertig, who played a short-lived character named Mordecai, a white-bearded religious nut who was out to punish sinners (and started a feud with the Undertaker). I sincerely hope this isn’t the new role for Fertig. ---

God says “poof” and Vince and the entire WWF disappears and then fans get pissed because they just paid $11.95 for a show that lasted all of 4 seconds. 🙂 ---

I would happily stop being an athiest if some god, and I’m not even picky about which pantheon he/she/it comes from, would show up and smite all McMahons except Shane, who seems okay, for the good all of humanity. ---
