Going To The Chapel


In happier wedding news (and happier WWE news for once), there is going to be a wedding. It has been announced that the (fake) wedding of Smackdown GM Teddy Long and backstage interviewer Kristal Marshall will happen on the 9/21/07 season premiere of WWE Friday Night Smackdown. It's good for the fans because these weddings are usually pretty entertaining (even though most times no one actually gets married) and they benefit WWE by drawing good ratings. Past weddings have included:


  • The Hillbilly Wedding (Uncle Elmer got married to some lady on Saturday Night's Main Event; Roddy Piper and Jesse "The Body" Ventura interrupted the ceremony; Elmer, Hillbilly Jim and Cousin Junior didn't get their hands on the bad guys but did stomp on Cowboy Bob Orton's hat)

  • "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Elizabeth (the televised ceremony went off without a hitch; the next week on TV we found out that Jake "The Snake" Roberts tried to attack the bride and groom with a snake at the reception)

  • Test and Stephanie McMahon (creepy moment as Vince leered at his daughter's fake boobs; Triple H stopped the ceremony to announce that he and Stephanie were already married)

  • Dawn Marie and Torrie Wilson's Dad (they got married in their underwear; the groom "died" on their wedding night; Dawn broke a lamp over her step-daughter Torrie Wilson's head at the subsequent wake)

  • Billy Gunn and Chuck Palumbo (the infamous gay wedding; ended with the preacher taking off his mask to reveal Eric Bischoff, leading to 3 Minute Warning attacking the grooms and Stephanie McMahon)

  • Kane and Lita (Lita and Trish Stratus had a brawl; the vows included Lita saying that she hoped Kane got hit by a car; Matt Hardy tried to save Lita but they were stopped by a wall of fire)


As you can see, they have some big shoes to follow. My money is on Kristal leaving Teddy at the altar and moving on to some new guy.
