Wrestlemania XXI approaches, and ESPN is breaking out its stars to hype up the extravaganza. Bill Simmons appeared on WWE Raw on Monday night, and here, Jon Gruden breaks down some tape on some of the key players in this year's extravaganza.
He starts with some old footage of Andre the Giant, projecting him as an offensive lineman. (We'd love to see what Andre would have done as a short-yardage fullback. Possibly crushed a guy or two.) From there, it's on to individual assessments of Titus O'Neil, who once sacked Peyton Manning; Curtis Axel; Ryback; and The Bunny.
Gruden seems to be giving it his all, even if he sounds more than a little mystified by all this flingin' and floppin'. Hey, a man's gotta keep busy during the 15 minutes a year the NFL isn't making news.
