So his new show is the plug, but at least we'll have 2 hosts in a row that at least know their shit about wrestling.

Nice this is probably the first time they've had former WWE wrestlers back to back and I hope that trend continues instead of has been musicians and other celebs we don't care about.

Yes he did but I hope he didn't say it on a whim but then again I'm sure if that were the case they would have edited that part out. Either way I guarantdamntee it'll be the highest rated show since this guest host thingy started. It would seriously suck though if they didn't use him in a match though unless they plan on having him job to a monster heel then forget it.

I actually am looking forward to Ventura. Tonight we get Piper a former wrestler and Ventura is a former wrestler and commentator so it should work out great. The last time he was in a position of power was in June of 2001 when he granted a match between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Chris Jericho for the WWE Championship. I am sure that wouldn't be the case now since Y2J is a heel, but Ventura was never a face in his entire career, so he could side with the heels.

Yeah I believe in Januray either the 4th or the 11th. It would be best if it was the 4th to kick off the new year.

They are just hyping us for the inevitable Sammy Sosa or Micheal Cera Raw, but I'll take 2 weeks of good hosting over 2 weeks of bad hosting any day.

Oh, I do love it when people include a load of pointless trivia in their posts just so we're clear that they "know their stuff". :y:

Michael Cera Raw? Fuck. That pisses me off just thinking about it.
Finally, 2 straight weeks of good solid talent with Piper and Body. Should be very good TV

Ventura is the star of the upcoming Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura,
It would be a bit harsh if they made a series called Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura and made the programme with somebody else.

I'm pretty sure just because he was a wrestler 20 years ago isn't exactly proof enough that he knows the names of, and follows, the current generation of talent.
I hope he doesn't fuck up a name as that always bugs me and it would prove that there is a lack of focus in the scripting department...But it also provides good fodder for the RAW haterz.

That was what I first thought when I saw the title of the Thread, but I'm so sure he'll make an appearance next week anyway.

If Piper can do it as messed up as he was last night, why can't Jesse Ventura?
Although after last night, I want to see Iron Shiek host Raw. "Fuck Hulk Hogan I rape you with my ten foot dick raja raja raaaa."

I'd love it if he showed up with the cast of the original Predator movie.
