More About Tyson's Appearance On Monday Night Raw

It seems that my opinion on Mike Tyson's appearance on this past Monday's edition of Monday Night Raw was not the consensus view.

A lot of people believe WWE were foolish to hype up Tyson as appearing in a match with eighty minutes of build-up as nonsensical.

I don't disagree.

But, how else could they have done it?

It was a one night deal - what if Tyson decided to no-show at the last moment or - better yet - decide that he doesn't want to take part in anything physical?

It could have turned into a nightmare.

I'm not saying that would have happened had the match been advertised a week ago. It just could have turned into a calamity with hold-outs for more money and the like.

I've also heard - and read - some fans talking of a match between Chris Jericho and Mike Tyson at WrestleMania XXVI.

Not so fast.

If Tyson was going to be in a match at WrestleMania, they sure wouldn't have given his first WWE bout away for free on television.

That's the way the business rolls.
