It appears that the WWE is looking towards Hip Hop for a boost in ratings. 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg and R&B star John Legend are set to hit the ring with various different jobs at this year's Wrestlemania.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. and 50 Cent have a friendship that has allowed both to succeed with the help of the other. Now, the two will take on a large opponent as they face The Big Show at WWE's upcoming Wrestlemania XXIV. It is not yet known if 50 will actually participate in the match, but it seems that he will accompany Mayweather to the ring at the very least.
"We got a friendship," Mayweather told MTV recently. "We talk about business a little bit. We talked about it when Coca-Cola bought VitaminWater. He said, 'You didn't see what I just did?' [I said,] 'Of course I did. Congratulations. Now you have to take me out to eat.'"
According to reports, Mayweather will be paid $20 million for his appearance at Wrestlemania. No reports have been released as to how much 50 will make.
WWE has also enlisted the help of John Legend, who is set to kick off the event with a rendition of the "America the Beautiful."
Snoop Dogg will also join the WWE for an all-Diva fight called, "BunnyMania Lumberjack Match."
All of this goes down March 30, 2008 on pay-per-view.
