Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted September 18, 2002 Anna Nicole Smith To Work With Rikishi (DE Newswire - Press Release) The WWE and E! Entertainment is joining forces. In a maneuver designed to combat stagnation on both company's high profile shows, Anna Nicole Smith and WWE wrestler, Rikishi, will be putting their assets together. Insiders are hoping the pairing will put a hammerlock on the sliding ratings both shows have recently been experiencing. Says E! Director of Marketing, Christopher Ruhland, "The time for a media crossover is perfect. We're not exactly sure what Anna will be doing at this point, but with her acting skills, Anna will be a natural with the WWE. We may be able to have her as soon as Thursday's Smackdown!" The rotund stars are said to be really excited about working together. "I can't wait to teach Anna how to do the Stinkface," says Rikishi of his signature move.

Guest chirs3 Report post Posted September 18, 2002 I remember a time when people argued about which show was BETTER, Raw or Smackdown... Now with Raw is HHH on one end and Anna Nicole Smackdown on the other, I think the arguments are going to go more along the lines of: "Yea, well Raw doesn't suck quite as much as Smackdown does!" "Does too!" "Does not!" Sigh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted September 18, 2002 For God Sake I hope they are just playing Anna off like she is Rikishi's Girlfriend and she will be just his Valet. its pitiful. I still don't know who is the more sad state, WWE for using Anna, or Anna for having nothing better to do than to risk impending embarassment working for the WWE. We don't know what they plan to do with her, she could be treated as bout as bad as Nicole Bass was. who the hell knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
