I love this and stuff like this.

It takes moving a mountain to get WWE to do stuff like this, but every now and then they do something resembling a fantasy booking thing and it tends to be glorious (usually followed by something terrible, unfortunate, or both).

Even if they did the swag stuff without great announcing, this could be great. Even if they did it without Cena doing the 'nWo Hogan' turn on return, this would be fun stuff. M

AYBE just MAYBE they can do this or something like it and have some fun with Jern before he heads out for good. MAYBE just MAYBE they'll see the value in doing it after Jern takes the whole summer off and bizness is fine enough.

>Basically you make him Batman. Every villain is on notice and
