I think it would be incredible. Drivers could have their own theme music instead of just having to listen to the German national anthem every time Vettel wins a Grand Prix we could hear Ke$ha's 'We R Who We R'.

Also, rivalries between drivers and teams would be much more exciting with WWE style hype videos and interviews. Imagine how much better Felipe and Lewis's history would be this year if instead of giving boring interviews, Lewis was saying stuff like "Felipe Massa, what are you going to do when TEAM VODAFONE MCLAREN MERCEDES runs wild on YOU?!"

And instead of having driver announcements like Kimi's be just an update on the Lotus Renault website at stupid o'clock in the morning they could have had a skit where Kimi Raikkonen is on stage with Sir Frank Williams about to sign the contract with Williams, but then he hits Sir Frank with a steel chair and brings out Eric Boullier and they shake hands and he signs a contract with Lotus. Everyone will be all like "OMG who is Sir Frank going to bring in to deal with Kimi", which would lead to them doing a storyline where Pastor Maldanado tries to ruin Kimi's season.

Bloo*y awesome

[Ross Stonefeld]

Duh.

Frank would get out of his wheelchair and beat Boullier with it.

....I was all prepared with my "uh, no?" reply but I gotta admit, you present a compelling case.

[Diablobb81]

Best idea ever.

Seriously.

[UPRC]

I just had to try MIGHTY HARD to not burst out laughing at this, especially at the part about Kimi hitting Frank with a chair.

[Andrew Hope]

Thread of the year. lol'd heartily, well done sir.

[SCUDmissile]

Vettel would then be F1's Cena

EDIT: Get the Rock for Williams

[Group B]

I think this could only work if you crossed it with celebrity death match. Opening night would be LH vs FM and RB vs MS.

[fieraku]

Do you smell what Horner is cooking?

[PretentiousBread]

Under him, the racing would be less contrived and artificial, so yes, absolutely

I think Toro Rosso would be much more exciting if McMahon ran the show. They're always so indecisive about which drivers to keep, which to sack, etc. I say throw Alguersuari and Buemi into a cage match. Winner gets to drive next year.

[Sakae]

Under MacMcMahon even Hamilton would get a chance to win a race more often that he did; hell, add Trulli as well, I am in good mood today.

[Andrew Hope]

Schumacher: Wooooooooooooooooooooo!

[grunge]

The people's finger.

[olliek88]

HAHAHAHA. awesome.

IF YA SMELLLLLELELELELL, WHAT THE HAMSTER................. IS CRASHING!

Brilliant idea, i think some tears rolled down my eyes im laughing sooo hard.

[Fastcake]

I heartily approve of your idea sir!

[grunge]

Imagine no Lotus driver announcement pre season and then they announce Kimi Raikkonen at the first weekend with lights out and Insomnium music in the background

Edited by grunge, 02 December 2011 - 19:58.

[metz]

I heartily approve this plan..
Now if Bernie only owned the series..
But then, wouldn't be the first time Bernie sold something he didn't own...

[Tenmantaylor]

Awesome OP

I used to be sure WWE was the antithesis of cerebral F1 but this has almost convinced me otherwise

The idea of Whitmarsh leaping from the top turn buckle onto Ecclestone seems hilarious. Oh wait, whats this? <Theme tune to godfather comes on over the PA> OMG it can't be, fresh from the FOTA meeting to Bernie's rescue, here comes Luca 'superstar jimmy snooker' di Montezemolo running down the aisle, red cape flapping, up through the ropes and all over Martin like a bad suit. Couple of clothelines later and Bernie and Luca take the intercontinental belt.

I thought I would bring this thread back up, because

1. It is awesome
and 2. Webber talked about Pirelli making the tyres like 'WWF'

http://www.autosport...t.php/id/106731

If the Chinese GP was as awful as WM 29 was, I want Bridgestone back.;)

[Deluxx]

Considering that Bernie probably takes more roids than Vince (which is alot),

no.

[Seanspeed]

Yes it is, thank you. Missed first time round.

[George Costanza]

Then we would see some fights between Mark and Seb... wow hahaha.

[Borko]

I don't think Vince has enough money to run a successful F1 team, let alone F1.

[JRizzle86]

Could Vince forceably remove the member of staff paid to tweet for the Lotus F1 team. I would support him then.

[kenkip]

Lol!Best thread topic in a while!!!
Alonso would obviously be the undertaker!!

[zepunishment]

well horner and briatore are no stranger to thongs...

[Certinfy]

This would actually make F1 remotely interesting again.

I'm all for it.

[SCUDmissile]

Fandango Alonso

[Hanzo]

Thank you for bumping this little gem so we the newbies could lol at it

[RaikkonenZn]

Hahahaha - this is awesome!!

Hows these ones:

Vettel: John Cena
Hamilton: The Rock
Raikkonen: CM Punk
Alonso: Alberto Del Rio
Massa: Ricardo Rodriguez
or Alonso/Massa/PDLR = The Shield
Maldonado: Ryback
Grosjean: Mick Foley
Schumacher: Triple H - Jean Todt is Vince Mcmahon
Button: Wade Barrett
Sutil: Brock Lesnar
Rosberg: Dolph Ziggler
Di Resta: Drew Mcintyre
Narain Karthikeyan - Jinder Mahal
Nelson Piquet Jr - The late great Eddie Guerrero
Vitaly Petrov - Vladimir Kozlov
Bruno Senna(Nephew of the great Aryton) - Tyson Kidd (nephew of the great Bret Hart)
Sergio Perez - Hunico

LOL

[Rob G]

How did I miss this the first time around???

Instead of lights, races would start with a bell. But not always. Sometimes they'd start after a lengthy diatribe by one or two of the drivers, or as the cars emerge from the garages, or after a demolition derby on the grid. The possibilities are endless. And don't even get me started on how the races might end.

[SR388]

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OfficeLinebacker]

They should have a bit where Vettel refuses to answer any questions at the press conference until the questioner can pronounce his name correctly.

LOL

Hard to improve on that but what about managers? Briatore could be Paul Heyman. also LOL@Massa being Alonso's personal ring announcer.

Maybe make the group at RBR be the Shield.

Montoya would be The Big Show.

Newey is Bobby "the Brain" Heenan.

Bernie is Ted Dibiase, the Million Dollar Man.

Schumi would have to be Jerry "the King" Lawler.

The possibilities are endless.

[SCUDmissile]

Schumi has to be the Rock. Kicks ass, one of the greatest back in the day, then comes back for three years a shadow of his former self.

Nah Schumi has to be Cena is anything. Handsome, nice, kind guy in all respects, but people hate him because he wins ALL THE DAMN TIME.

[TheUltimateWorrier]

I'd love to see JR commentate an F1 race at some point.

RaikkonenZn, most of those are spot on

Hahahaha - this is awesome!!

Jacques Villeneuve: Sycho Sid - always rumoured for a comeback. When he does, fans will chant 'you still got it' although he's terrible now.

Maybe we should get a kickstarter going.

Having JR do the commentary would be awesome. "My GAWWWD King, looks like Lewis is going for the inside!"

[TheUltimateWorrier]

@OfficeLinebacker, Schumi's more like Ric Flair, record number of titles and both have a penchant for cheating to the top. "To be the man, you gotta beat the man. . . WOO!"

Posted this in the Dream Commentary thread a while ago, it's a shame we'll never hear JR do this .

Not bothered about the presenters or pitlane reporters, but a bit like Murray Walker commentating on snooker I'd love to see Jim Ross of WWE fame give F1 a go.

"LOOK OUT!!! OH MY GAWWWD! HOW DO YOU LEARN TO FLY A RACING CAR?!? . . . You don't."


"Grosjean? What's he . . .? DON'T DO IT GROSJEAN! GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY! GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY! HE'S BROKEN IN HALF!!!"

Seems to be a lot of racing fans watch wrestling (ok me included tbh)

[Panktej]

didn't it happen today??

today's quali was a royal rumble and winner goes to the wrestle mania....team RBR threw out Mark Webber out of the ring...

or

Imagine, a tag team championship match between Vettel & Webber vs Alonso & Massa with domenicalli and horner standing at the ring side...

As webber was fighting with Massa, Vettel entered the ring without a tag and slams webber and webber shout 'MULTI 21...seb..MULTI 21'....


a similar situation....Legacy backstabs Orton

Edited by Panktej, 13 April 2013 - 17:50.

[SCUDmissile]

Well, It would make a nice change if a session gets called off because Alonso attacks Vettel with a steel chair for example instead of the usual rain...
