Big Changes To Cyber Sunday, Original Jackass/WWE Plans, More

WWE is doing the voting for their Cyber Suday pay-per-view a little different this year. In previous years, fans could log on to WWE.com and cast their votes for the various match stipulations. This year, in order to cast your vote, you have to send a text message on your mobile device. The charge is $.99 per vote plus standard text messaging rates. Obviously WWE won't get the 13 million votes that they touted last year, but they will definitely make a nice little chunk of change off this.

It looks like WWE is bringing back the angle with Jackass and Johnny Knoxville. I thought something was up when the news of the interview gone bad first came out the other day. Then, when WWE mentioned it on their website I figured it was a go. They originally had something planned for SummerSlam 2007 and then when that got nixed, there was talk of them doing something at Royal Rumble earlier this year. The Jackass crew even filmed spots and shot promotional material for the pay-per-view. Some of the Jackass guys said back then that the plans with WWE had been moved to a future pay-per-view. Umaga was originally the Superstar set to work with Jackass but with him out injured, it looks like it will be The Great Khali giving it a shot. The partnership with WWE could really help the Jackass crew out as their were some reports of their JackassWorld project being in trouble after MTV was planning to pull most of its financial support. Jackass also will be releasing another movie, Jackass 3, in early 2009 and I'm sure they'd love to use WWE as a vehicle to promote.
