Vince McMahon Eyes Kanye West For Three WWE Events As Rapper Remains Reliable Punchline

After his outburst at the Video Music Awards, Kanye West found out acting like a heel causes even the President of the United States to take time out and offer a disapproving opinion. He might not have realized, however, is that there is a lucrative market for heels in professional wrestling. In what may be the king of all stunt casting moves, unconfirmed rumors have Vince McMahon offering West a cool ten million to appear at three events and do some "light wrestling." It's no doubt tempting in these tough economic times to take the money and run, but Kanye had better focus on something like producing a Taylor Swift and Beyonce duet. It's been a tough week, but Kanye shouldn't be so desperate that he's willing Billy Corgan, Alice Cooper, Cyndi Lauper, and Master P. on the march of the damned to Wrestlemania. [The Daily Swarm]
