The O'Reilly Angle

After writing yesterday that Bill O’Reilly would make a great heel manager, I started thinking of a potential angle for him in WWE.

I came up with the idea of a pay-per-view match between left-leaning Mick Foley and right-leaning JBL, with Al Franken and O’Reilly in their respective corners. Former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura would serve as the special referee. The stipulation for the match is that if Foley wins, Franken gets five minutes in the ring with O’Reilly. The promos leading up to the bout would be off the charts.

Of course, Foley would win, and that’s when things could really get interesting. Instead of O’Reilly taking a few scripted pratfalls, imagine if Franken, a former high school wrestler, went into business for himself and began stretching him. Taking advantage of O’Reilly on live television would be payback for all the guests he has ambushed and bullied on his show. Then, after Franken was done with him, Foley could finish him off with the Mandible Claw – if O’Reilly could get his foot out of his mouth long enough for Foley to stick his fingers down his gullet, that is.

OK, I admit that angle has about as much chance of happening as Big Daddy V (a.k.a. Viscera) making the cover of Muscle & Fitness. But I’d still rather see “Bill O” in a pay-per-view match than Steve-O.

I think a Keith Olbermann vs Bill O'Reilly matchup would be better than Franken.

Wow! I wonder what political leanings you have! Hack!
