Report: Plans for WWE-Jackass angle are dead
Submitted by Brian Cantor on Tuesday, July 24, 2007 at 2:27 AM EST





PWInsider.com reported Monday that WWE's plan to feature the cast of Jackass in a match at Summerslam has fallen through.

When reports of WWE's plan to run the Jackass storyline first broke, the belief was that the cast would appear in three matches on the Summerslam card. That was later changed to one, presumably involving Umaga.

Things began to look bleaker when Bam Margera pulled out due to an injury; Johnny Knoxville recently backed out as well, which prompted WWE to nix the angle.

The cast had distanced itself from WWE following the Benoit family tragedy—what was originally going to be an angle that featured several television and pay-per-view appearances, including some of the Jackass guys costing Umaga his title at the Great American Bash, was apparently greatly reduced, possibly to the one-time gig at Summerslam.

Now, if reports are true, not even that match will take place.

WWE had already begun advertising the Jackass crossover on its affiliate material for the Summerslam PPV.
