METHOD
MAN TAKES ON THE WWE
Hip
hop star Method Man is soon to
see his dreams of being a WWE
wrestler come alive - by making
his debut in what is sure to be
a TV spectacular. He is currently
the star of an upcoming wrestling
video game, Def Jam Vendetta,
and now is set to take it to the
ring - in real life. After appearing
on American television show The
Late Late Show and stating "If
the WWE have some opening positions
I'd be there in a heartbeat. I'd
be better than The Rock",
the show's host called Vince McMahon
(sports mogul) to set up a fight.
An ecstatic Method Man already
has his fighting chant worked
out: "Brother, when you get
to the arena, I'm gonna wrap these
three inch pythons around that
stack of dimes you call a neck."
