One such idea, which apparently has been &#8220;done before,&#8221; would have generated &#8220;gigantic mainstream&#8221; interest in the show, but that plan has reportedly already fallen through.<\/p>\n<p>Another idea was not as big from a mainstream perspective, but the feeling was that the idea still would have been successful; the anticipated &#8220;brilliant&#8221; dynamic involving this celebrity and the WWE counterpart would have almost definitely been more effective than the commercially-successful Vince McMahon-Donald Trump angle from several years ago.<\/p>\n<p>That idea, too, has been ruled out.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the feeling is that WWE will keep pushing for ideas to help WrestleMania remain as immune as possible from the ongoing pay-per-view buyrate woes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>WWE Eyes Major Celebrity Angle for WrestleMania 27<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Though the hoped-for angle between WWE Superstar The Undertaker and former-WWE Superstar-turned ex-UFC Champion Brock Lesnar appears off the cards, WWE\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/11\/27\/wwe-eyes-major-celebrity-angle-for-wrestlemania-27\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"WWE Eyes Major Celebrity Angle for WrestleMania 27\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Though the hoped-for angle between WWE Superstar The Undertaker and former-WWE Superstar-turned ex-UFC Champion Brock Lesnar appears off the cards, WWE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/11\/27\/wwe-eyes-major-celebrity-angle-for-wrestlemania-27\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2010-11-27T19:39:09+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/view4.picapp.com\/pictures.photo\/image\/6162096\/wwe-monday-night-raw-las\/wwe-monday-night-raw-las.jpg?size=234&imageId=6162096\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/11\/27\/wwe-eyes-major-celebrity-angle-for-wrestlemania-27\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/11\/27\/wwe-eyes-major-celebrity-angle-for-wrestlemania-27\/\",\"name\":\"WWE Eyes Major Celebrity Angle for WrestleMania 27\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2010-11-27T19:39:09+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2010-11-27T19:39:09+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Though the hoped-for angle between WWE Superstar The Undertaker and former-WWE Superstar-turned ex-UFC Champion Brock Lesnar appears off the cards, WWE\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2010\/11\/27\/wwe-eyes-major-celebrity-angle-for-wrestlemania-27\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News &amp;
